What's going on with the computers, for those who don't care about computers generally:
A security company (Crowdstrike) pushed out a bad update that broke a huge number of Windows computers and will probably require a lot of painful work to fix. This has resulted in, among other things, airlines grounding flights, hospitals locked out of their systems, and Starbucks in-store ordering being broken.
Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.
This is an "automatic update that got forced onto everyone with insufficient testing while also having way too many permissions" problem.
If you think big corps wouldn't run something similar on Linux, I have a an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

How to add a Google Gemini shortcut to your iPhone homescreen
Google’s Gemini has been available on iPhone for months now, but it’s not super easy to access since it’s hidden...Ben Schoon (9to5Google)
Alternative (computer) input devices?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a friend of mine could replace his #keyboard and #mouse with, please?
He's got quite bad neuropathy in both hands (fuck #chemo) and it's quite difficult for him to use either his keyboard or his mouse now.
Tagging for #disability but I don't know if that's appropriate. If you can think of anything more appropriate please let me know.
Please, please boost!

Make no mistake, if an outage similar to Crowdstrike would have been caused by OpenSource, there would be calls across the entire industry and at the government level to ban OpenSource from critical systems. But since it was caused by billion-dollar publicly-traded companies, nothing to see here, move-on.
You may know Allyant (which I pronounce “alley ant”) is the combined form of CommonLook, TBase, and Accessible360.
You may also now Allyable (which I pronounce “snake oil”) is an #overlay vendor.
Apparently Allyable (overlay) was spamming folks on the #DisabilityIN conference app. This resulted in folks regularly visiting the Allyant (combined company) booth thinking it was Allyable (overlay).

I'm rather surprised that people still use their services. and trust them. They must either have a rather short memory (Google Reader, anyone? Writely, Google Code?) – or be caught in the eternal loop with the "benefit of doubt"…

"das Bundesverkehrsministerium plant eine massive Verschärfung der Regelungen für Fahrradanhänger. Demnach dürfen Fahrradanhänger zukünftig maximal 50 kg Gesamtmasse aufweisen, ansonsten brauchen sie ein eigenes Auflaufbremssystem. Zur Einschätzung: Bei einem Eigengewicht von 15 kg blieben nur 35 kg an Zuladung übrig, was man locker mit zwei älteren Kindern überschreiten würde. Von größeren Hunden, Gartentransporte usw. wollen wir gar nicht erst anfangen."

Unabhängig vom Gewicht gibt es eine Max.Geschw. von 25 km/h, die gerade mit Kindern wegen Stößen nicht überschritten werden sollte.

Darüber hinaus empfiehlt der ADFC schon maximal 45 kg Zugladung.

Auch das zulässige Gesamtgewicht eines Fahrrades (oftmals um die 120 kg) setzt da Grenzen.
Dass ausgerechnet das Verkehrsministerium eine Begrenzung zur Sicherheit fordert und nicht etwa sichere Wege ist allerdings fragwürdig.
