¿A qué se debe que aún no podamos acceder a los datos de todo el país?
Según el organismo competente del @mitecogob consolidar los datos es un "proceso complejo y largo".
El Tribunal de Cuentas lo achaca a la mala coordinación entre comunidades autónomas y Ministerio.
El resultado es que encontrarás datos de 2017 y 2018 para 28 provincias, los fuegos de 2019 en 20 regiones más, los incendios de 2020 en 11 territorios y los de 2021 en Badajoz, Córdoba, Granada y Soria.
Con los datos en la mano podemos contarte que entre 1983 y 2016 ha habido más de medio millón de incendios que han arrasado una superficie como la de Aragón y Cantabria juntas.
Galicia es la comunidad autónoma con más incendios y más superficie calcinada. Aquí te damos los detalles⤵️
Interesting piece in the Grauniad about Divers With Purpose, an African-American organization of divers that engages in underwater archeology, especially investigating shipwrecks of slave ships. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
It is September 2024. For more than two months already, there are no direct trains between the Netherlands and London. Yet NS publishes a new article describing how you need to check in Amsterdam or Rotterdam 45 to 60 minutes before departure for pasport and security check. 🙄
Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
Scroll to Text Fragment (i.e. #:~:text=…) has had poor accessibility and we’ve been slow to implement it, wanting a better solution. As of bugzil.la/1914877, Firefox now supports this feature, highlighting the range to assistive technologies to support better accessibility.
@jcsteh Hi Jamie, hope you're well I seem to remember somewhere in my old and addled mind that you had some sort of resource that removed aria from a webpage? I seem to remember something about a hammer if this is indeed the case and I have not been dreaming is there any chance you can point me at the resource. Cheers H
@Mishu70 It's a Firefox add-on called AxSHammer. I believe someone ported it to Chrome, but I don't have details of that. Firefox add-on is here: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…
Just discovered that @protonprivacy have produced an excellent 60 page guide to IT Security for small business (and individuals!). It covers all sorts of software and network configuration. Not just about Proton products.
It's well worth a read even if you think you are upto speed as I guarantee you'll pick up a few nuggets.
This gorgeous saffron spice tea popped into my mind today so I have made myself a pot. I first had it in a Kashmiri shop in South India. They serve this tea as you wander around. It was so so good so I asked what it was. Simply saffron, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves.
For a full Kashmiri experience you can add Karshmiri green tea leaves, organic dried rose petals and slivered almonds.
For a pot: 4 cloves, or more if they are small. Sometimes I use up to 10! 4 cardamom pods 2cm piece cinnamon 1 pinch strands of saffron
method Crush the spices roughly in a mortar – no need to grind them at all, just to break them up a little. Place in a teapot, pour hot water over and allow to seep for 5 minutes. This will allow the saffron time to develop colour, and the flavour from the spices to emerge. Strain into a special teacup and sip slowly.
1/2 This video is probably a good example of one which, aside from the "The TRUTH about the ADHD Superpower" heading, really doesn't need a screen reader to read the text. The text is captions of what is being said in the video - that is a great thing for those who are deaf or otherwise benefit from captions. For a screen reader user listening to text, in this particular case, they are generally better off listening to the dialog being spoken direclty
2/3 NVDA CAN read the captions - press NVDA+r to have NVDA use OCR on the text. Note that NVDA has a setting to periodically refresh OCR. It's not perfect, but could be used in a situation like this (if that text WASN'T already being spoken for instance). By far the best option is for the video to ensure needed information is conveyed both visually and audibly to suit all audiences.
Note that audio description in this case could also describe the room etc - that information is not currently conveyed, although in this video it is arguably secondary to the dialog.
@NVAccess Thank you for taking the time to answer this for me. I deeply appreciate the information. It makes sense now, the text would be extraneous. (Going to write down this info, so I hopefully won’t forget!)
I appreciate you so thoroughly explaining everything. Have a good weekend. 😊
You're welcome :) In this particular case, a screen reader user can ignore that text - there are other videos where similar such text may be useful, and it may also depend on the platform the video is on as to how accessible that is - On some platforms you don't need to use OCR at all, just move NVDA's focus to the text as you start the video, and it will keep reading out new text as it changes.
"Das Asylrecht ist dazu da, schutzbedürftigen Menschen Schutz zu bieten", so die Migrationsforscherin Kohlenberger im ZDF. Das dürfe man in der Asyl-Debatte nicht vergessen.
Our In-Process blog is out. Today we have a reminder of NVDA 2024.3, info on NVDA 2024.4 and our Beta / RC program, details of the upcoming SPEVI conference 2025 and a walkthrough of creating a portable copy and the highly anticipated change to the process which now creates a folder for you.
@KaraLG84 It is a question we get asked each year and one we consider each year. We haven't made a decision yet but definitely one for us to start thinking about!
Some very smart, talented, and creative friends of mine recognized that "herculean tasks" and "sisyphean tasks" seems a bit limiting, so they came up with some more.
My cousin Jared wins a lot of radio contests and basically every DJ in Ontario knows him by name. I asked him to share his tips and had fun writing them up for WIRED: wired.com/story/how-to-win-rad…
Survey by Owl Labs finds that if the ability to work from home was taken away, 66% of workers would immediately start looking for a job that offered more flexibility; about 39% would promptly quit. cnbc.com/2024/09/03/working-10…
I wrote this blog post in 2019 with the confidence that the WordPress starter theme I built would stand the test of time, no matter how many things changed in the WordPress core.
I'm happy to say that after upgrading to the latest WP version, including PHP, everything works as smoothly as it did on day one.
Blowing my own horn here, but this is a great testament to how a modular and lean source code can be resilient and reliable without needing constant maintenance.
I have a weird issue: an APK (i.e. ZIP file) with deflate-compressed data which I cannot recreate using python + zlib, even with code that tries every possible combination of parameters (with the obvious exception of providing a predefined compression dictionary) instead of just varying the compression level.
One file's compressed data can be reproduced using strategy Z_FILTERED, but for all the other files I've tried the script doesn't return any matches (it works fine with the APK we built ourselves, which should have had identical compressed data as the build is supposed to be deterministic).
Reminder of how much we like to criminalize being poor.
Skipping a $3.50 transit fare results in a $425 fine while skipping a $20 parking pass lands you a $70 fine that rich people complained to high heaven about. What justification, other than hating poor people, is there for this not scaling?
Make parking fines $2000 and then let's talk about the fictional "war on cars"
In My Day™ we whined about restaurant website menus that were PDFs. Today, a restaurant’s “website” is an Instagram account which doesn’t list their address or hours, and the menu is a Story. Requires you to be logged into Instagram, goes away after four seconds, can’t be zoomed in. Just perfect.
I confirm that I don't know anybody wanting that stuff in a browser... We need to find an alternative... Maybe a Webcurl ? You're just missing an UI, after all
I've finished adding subtitles to my 4th DebConf presentation, and with that I wrote a blog post with a summary of everything.
There's some background into curl and wcurl, including the draft wcurl logo and the recording of the Debian curl maintainers BoF, if you want to have a peak at the maintenance of curl on Debian.
Others have said this, but the Internet Archive's appeals-court loss to Big Publishing is a disaster for everyone but the cartel of companies and a tiny number of A list authors.
The publishers will tolerate libraries only as long as they can control everything about how books can be loaned. If public libraries were being invented today, the cartel would make their core functions illegal.

Así, ya puedes ver los incendios ocurridos en toda España hasta 2016 y hasta 2021 en algunas provincias 🤷♀️.
