Why is it important to challenge disinformation, especially for journalists and the media?
Because disinformation sticks around!
Christopher Columbus claimed he could get to India through his chosen route, basically every educated person said no. He managed to get funding to go anyway, totally ended up in the wrong place, but called the indigenous people Indians, despite it not being India at all. To this day, people still use the word, they're not Indians, they never were, they knew that at the time. It's been over 500 years!!!
After a lot of work, I got Windows TTS for Doom pretty much the same as it has been in Linux for a while now. While working on the Windows version, I noticed that a lot of people who were playing wre not native English speakers.
I added in a setting so that the language could be set, and if the language is not English it uses Google translate to translate the text to their specified language before sending it through as speech.
I am wondering how many people who use the Linux version in Linux Game Manager would be interested in this functionality?

Recently I encountered a thread where someone was asking “Does having a kid become less expensive once they are easy enough to not need childcare?”
I don't have the kind of experiences that would let me answer this question yes-or-no, but what struck me as interesting was 99% of the respondents said “No, after they grow out of childcare, you are paying for summer camp!” Almost every single one talked about the immense burden of paying for summer camp.
I am sure summer camp is a great experience for many kids, but I am really struggling to see why so many people think this is mandatory ?? I was not sent to summer camp when I was a kid... but somehow it seems like the majority of American parents think that it is a requirement / fixed cost that their own decisions can have no impact on. Very bizarre.

Ruský Elon Musk hraje vabank. Je zatčení ve Francii jeho další šprým, nebo se tentokrát přepočítal?
Do Francie přiletěl Pavel Durov z Ázerbájdžánu a ve vlastním letadle. Plánoval v Paříži strávit jediný večer, doprovázela ho jistá žena a bodyguard. Na letišti Le Bourget mu ale nebyl nic platný.Petra Procházková (Deník N)

Updated my sortable tables post.
It now notes that NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, and VoiceOver / iPadOS will announce when you sort a table column.
That means VoiceOver on macOS and TalkBack do _not_ announce a sort.
Dramatically better than when I wrote it in 2021 yet still utterly inadequate.

Ihr fragt nach Zahlen - ihr findet sie natürlich in meinen Büchern :)
Hier zu den letzten Jahren der Bahnpolitik:
"von 45 100 km auf 38 400 km. Kein anderes Land hat mehr Zugstrecken stillgelegt: Dieser Anteil entspricht 40 Prozent aller in Europa stillgelegten Bahnstrecken. Das deutsche Autobahnnetz ist hingegen seit 1995 um 2002 Kilometer (18 Prozent) gewachsen."
It's been a while since I posted on my other blog "Jen Rohrig Design" which is about disability and accessibility but today I posted about a topic I've been thinking about for a while...
"How we talk about disability"
EDIT because this got boosted again - I combined my two blogs the post is now here:
Hello! I’m an inconsistent poster and consistent lurker! I like bicycles, tabletop role playing games, and being a mom. Plus a rotation of five to 10 other things.

Self-indulgent rant:
One reason why IMO, the case against "AI" is as cut and dried as the case against cryptocoins is that shutting those two sectors down through government action would immediately solve the household energy transition for Iceland, for example
The maths is fairly straightforward: switching personal transportation over to electricity here would roughly double household power consumption (give or take, with the assumption that current plans to improve public transport pan out)

Also Signal is very famously anti-third-party.
It probably could be done, it's open source after all, but TBH I wouldn't trust a Signal implementation from anybody who isn't an accomplished cryptographer. Those protocols are hard stuff, and it's incredibly reasy to get them wrong and not know it.
