Own a piece of Caltrain history! These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours. The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles travelled.

This is gross, and further confirms Apple’s transition from innovation to rent-seeking, but there is a good solution: Stop having an app. Patreon would work just fine as a web site, no?

Jobcenter kürzt Leistungsempfängerin und Kind 100% der Bezüge. Betroffene klagt dagegen. Gewinnt. Das Gericht geizt nicht mit Worten:
"Der mit diesem Ergebnis rückblickend fatalen behördlichen Ermessensausübung haftet der Nachgeschmack eines von Klassismus triefenden, autoritär-gönnerhaften Selbstverständnisses ebenso an wie deren gerichtlicher Prüfung im erfolglosen Eilrechtsschutzverfahren."
@hbons it's not ideal, but it might not be as bad as the initial impression, fingers crossed; @analog_cafe noted it's the same company that owns the Mountain Equipment Co-op. mas.to/@analog_cafe/1129219040…

You may've heard that Kodak Alaris was recently sold to a private holdings group. If not, here's the scoop:

More ISO standards on PDF accessibility are now available for free!
Today the @PDFassociation announced they are making three additional ISO standards - ISO 14289-1 (PDF/UA-1), ISO 14289-2 (PDF/UA-2) and ISO TS 32005 - available for download at no cost.
Big kudos to the PDF Association and to the following companies for making this possible: Allyant, Axes4, CDP Communications, and TargetStream Technologies.
A whole bunch of narration improvements in the most recent Forza update, including reading the lap number when you finish a lap, better reading of credits earned breakdown after finishing a race and a lot more. support.forzamotorsport.net/hc…
I am glad that they're still making improvements to narration and accessibility. I won't lie that I was worried about their doing this since the unfortunate circumstances that happened 2 months ago.

'Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.'
The clear solution here is for Patreon to just discontinue in-app memberships and have a message that says "you cannot subscribe using the app, sorry!" It's absolutely reprehensible for Apple to try and take a 30% cut of money that is intended to go straight to creators, but Patreon should not enable them either, even if making that change creates a worse user experience. Apple refuses to even allow app developers to tell their users about the 30%, so the only way to win here is to just cut Apple off at the knees.
"Patreon is home to an incredible range of creators, all with unique circumstances and billing needs. Apple’s in-app purchase system, on the other hand, only supports Patreon’s subscription billing model.
@miki @simon Wait a minute, didn't I hear recently about them being forced, probably by the EU, to allow letting you purchase on websites? Could ahve sworn there was some kind of recent change to the billing model to allow third-party purchases via websites, though not in-app.
@x0 @simon In most places, you still have to pay the fee (sans payment processing costs), even if you do that. It was something like 27% if I remember correctly.
It's not collected automatically, and Apple has the right to audit your records if you apply for that entitlement.
[Note: here "women" and "men" can be read as "cis women" and "cis men," but usually when I talk about women and men I mean all of them, cis, trans, nonbinary, and more.]
Despite what some people say, sex segregation in sports is NOT for the protection of women's health. Women are not that fragile.
Sex segregation in sports is for the protection of men's egos, which are that fragile.
We don't know women's true capabilities at the current moment. We are barely beginning to emerge from a long period of enforced ignorance about women's capacity for strength and athletic achievement. Example number one million or so:
For decades, the idea that “lighter is faster,” was the reigning mythology passed on by most track coaches when it came to conditioning, especially to endurance athletes. Coaches would encourage young female runners, who often have higher body fat percentages than their male counterparts, to lose weight to improve performance.
Today, many women runners are flipping the script. They’re discovering how dangerous undernourishment can be – including the risks of disordered eating – and are seeking out coaching that supports proper fueling. The old model of coaching for thinness is gradually giving way to an emphasis on strength and stamina.
Undernourishment by athletes competing at high levels can have a number of bad health effects; one of them is bone micro-fractures. I have seen TERFs citing the prevalence of micro-fractures among women athletes as proof that women need protection from competing with men--but in reality it's evidence that women in sports are being systematically discouraged from adequately nourishing themselves.
Until sexism is eradicated, nobody can make any blanket statements about women's capacity for athletic achievement.
I continue to think that AI+law scholars should write less about regulating hypothetical future AI killer robots and more about regulating (or failing to regulate) the killer pattern-recognition death machines we already have.

After 2½ years of war, Google is finally joining the sanctions against Russia and closing the AdSense systems, thereby preventing Russians from making money off ads, including ads on YouTube.
Russia was about to close down YouTube completely, so this is not an act of heroism, but proof that Google wanted to earn every last dollar before claiming to "do the right thing".
Gerade wieder auf dem Weg #mdRzA an all den #Autos im #Stau vorbeigefahren. Die Gesichter darin gesehen: Verkniffen, gelangweilt, ärgerlich, genervt, angespannt. Nicht ein Lächeln. Autos für 30, 40, 60.000 Euro, und die sie fahren, können es nicht genießen. Sie versuchen ein wenig von der Schönheit #draußen zu sehen, aber es ist schwer. Musste grinsen. Dann fährst du mit dem #Fahrrad einfach weiter und du spürst sie, die #Freiheit. Warum, liebe #Auto -Fahrende, lasst ihr euch das entgehen?
Hi 👋 Do you or a somebody you know own an NMBS/SNCB ARI Disc? Diskette, CD, whatever? From whenever, I do not care.
It would be amazing if I could borrow one, I am trying to preserve copies of these however they seem to be lost in piles of trash. If you know somebody who has one happy to put a copy of it for the world to enjoy planning trains 90s style! (If I have enough i might reverse engineer it to ship up to date schedules for it)
