Hi. Asking this question for research purposes, and also because I might have missed things.
I'm working on a blog post about hospital experiences and what staff like nurses and doctors as well as other staff might be able to do to help people who are blind in hospital. This comes after I spent 5 days in hospital recently. I'd love to know what suggestions people have, and the things we as a community think should be included in the post. Please share this for reach, and more suggestions.

I cannot thank you enough foor raising awareness about this issue. I wrote about this very topic last year on my blog as I found myself feeling frustrated with the lack of accessibility in medical facilities, not to mention the lack of understanding from some members of the staff.
Aside from implementing some of the solutions I mentioned, I think that what is needed is for blindness consumer groups to provide training sessions to medical staff.
Aside from airports, hospitals are some of the most frustrating environments I've had to visit as a blind person.
Feel free to reference this post.
Ten Things Hospitals Can Do to Be More Inclusive and Accessible

She has inspired me to talk more openly about my own experience.
It is tempting for leaders with the experience for these roles to bite their tongue and think that things will surely be better next time. But our silence is bought with the promise of a tomorrow that never comes.
The time has come for us to take on these agencies, and I do wonder if one way to do that is for a group of us to get together and take it to the United Nations under the Convention on the Rights of Disabled People.
I applied for the Blind Low Vision NZ CEO role last year. I did so with compelling credentials. I am a former Board chair and senior manager of that organisation, I have CEO experience in a national disability service provider. I am internationally recognised as a leader in the blind community and have an in-depth knowledge of this sector. I’m considered an expert in the critical area of technology as it effects blind people, an area which is transforming our lives and has the potential to do so much more.
I was not successful. Instead, a sighted person was appointed with no knowledge of blindness or the sector. Yet another opportunity was lost to stop the steady erosion of blindness services. A chance was missed to send a signal to the community, and particularly to younger blind people, that blind people can and do lead. Yet more damage was done to the organisation's moral authority. After all, how can you possibly champion blind people as attractive employment prospects when you won't even walk your own talk and appoint a blind person yourself to lead the organisation? Indeed, until recently, for some considerable time there were 0 blind people on Blind Low Vision NZ's Executive Leadership Team.
New Zealand’s situation is very similar to the Australian situation so clearly summarised by Emma. We also have a Board Chair with consumer credentials who has discarded the values that got him there.
When I highlighted this issue far less forcefully at the time it happened to me, some accused me of sour grapes. So let me be clear. I would have been delighted if a qualified blind candidate from anywhere in the world had been given the role. This is about a principle that, in not speaking up for it, is costing blind New Zealanders dearly in terms of service quality.
This is happening all over the world, and it has to stop. Do people for a moment think that if an organisation dedicated to serving women had been led by a succession of men for five years let alone a hundred years, there wouldn’t be a huge outcry? Nor would, or should, members of ethnic minorities tolerate organisations serving them being led by someone who doesn’t know how it truly is to face their challenges first-hand. It wouldn't be right for them, and it is not right for us.
Enough is enough. Change only starts when the silence stops. linkedin.com/pulse/missed-oppo…

Me entero de que hoy se cumplen 35 años del lanzamiento de esta #canción de #DepecheMode. La conocí tiempo después. Nunca tuve el álbum: había traducido mal el título, #Violator, y por mucho tiempo creí que su tema era algo prohibido y obsceno, imposible de justificar en la casa familiar. Además, no tenía dinero.
Escuchaba la canción cuando iba a visitar una tienda de discos y comics en mi ciudad natal. Oh tiempo tus pirámides y todo eso.

According to the "Terminator" film franchise, TODAY is the day that Skynet became self-aware, took over, and started its campaign to destroy humanity. The good news is that instead we have garbage like #Google Gemini that can't even answer questions like "When was Kamala Harris born?"
So we're probably safe from Skynet for now.

Job control at the shell:
Run a command that keeps running. For these purposes, the otherwise pointless command:
ping localhost > /dev/null<br>Nothing much will happen, though the program is running normally. It just doesn't spit out any output, or, rather, spits it out into the null device, where it gets eaten. So pretend this is doing something useful.
Now we want to run something else. We don't need to kill this task, nor do we need to open a new terminal or swap virtual consoles. We don't need screen or tmux for this either.
Just hit Control+Z. You will get something like:
[1]+ Stopped ping localhost > /dev/null<br>and the shell prompt will be back. That task is now "stopped" which means it's basically paused -- still running, but suspended.
The [1] is the job number -- and you can refer to the job by that id with the bg and fg commands by prefixing it with %.
Run this:
bg %1<br>and you will get the output
[1]+ ping localhost > /dev/null &<br>This tells you than job 1 is running again, now in the background, exactly as if you had run it with
& at the end. Now, if you want to bring it back to the foreground, you can just do this:fg %1<br>and it will bring it up front and centre. If, instead, you want to terminate the job, you can do
kill %1<br>and that'll do it for you.
You can have about as many jobs in one shell as you want. That's kind of the point -- you're in a Vim session and you want to hop out to a shell, hit Control+Z to pause it so you can come back later. Start a long Make build, and background it so you can go do something else. This is one of the key things that makes the command line useful.
Oh, and if it's not ambiguous, you can use %name (where name is the program name) instead of the number.

I made the #curl manpages on the website show the examples snippets using a grey background to "stand out" a little better:
It made me spot that they often get a leading blank line so now I have a pending PR to fix that as well...
I was giving training all week, and was using the curl command, its man page and your site of documentation done well.
Followed by the warning, not all projects do it so well.
Librsvg 2.58.94 is out! This is the release candidate for GNOME 47.

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, documnt their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submittd by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget poundng on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

The image shows a UPS cargo airplane in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft is a large, four-engine jet with the UPS logo prominently displayed on the tail. The body of the plane is mostly white with a brown and gold stripe running along the side. The words "Worldwide Services" and "Synchronizing the world of commerce" are written on the side of the plane. The landing gear is extended, indicating that the plane is either approaching for landing or has just taken off.

Ich weiß ja jetzt nicht, ob es Menschen wirklich von Straftaten abhält, wenn man ihnen jegliches (Bar-)Geld, jegliche Selbstbestimmung über alle Aspekte ihres Lebens bis hin zu den Nahrungsmitteln und jegliche Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft verwehrt.
Aber vielleicht bin ich einfach nicht so klug wie Herr Lindner & seine Kollegen.

Unsere Vortragsreihe Tram & Design geht in die nächste Runde. Als nächstes haben wir Alfred Peter aus Straßburg zu Gast.
Tramway Superstar
Die Renaissance von Strasbourg
11.09. 18:30
Baukulturforum (Waisenhofstr. 3)
Alfred Peter hat die moderne Straßburger Tram über 30 Jahre mitgestaltet, vom Neubau bis zur jetzt sechsten Linie und den aktuellen Erweiterungen.
Straßburg hat sich seither völlig verändert: Ruhe und Gelassenheit beherrschen jetzt die Innenstadt, nicht das Auto. Das hat mehr Leben in die Innenstadt gebracht, der Einzelhandel profitierte enorm.
