Our NOAA weather Radio hourly reports started with the following.
"at 8 AM, at Pittsburgh International Airport, a thunderstorm was reported."
my question is, was it reported for being too loud? happy Wednesday.


So like

Protesting "the wrong way" is bad

Protesting "the right way" gets ignored

I think some folks just don't want protests of any kind tbh

What NVDA said thanks to interrupting popups:
"Boosting CBC News :press: Add-on updates available dialog Updates are available for some of your installed add-ons."
Apparently, NVAccess struck a deal with the CBC to alert the masses about NVDA addon updates. Or something.

haha love when that kind of stuff happens, it's the wierd coincidences in screen reader interruptions joining together like that that make life just a little bit more amusing throughout the day :D

Am schlimmsten finde ich das Statement von Spahn ("wir sollten EU-Recht einfach mal aussetzen"). Was für ein KATASTROPHALES, FATALES Signal. Zu fordern, demokratisch entstandenes Recht & Gesetz einfach "auszusetzen". Wen wundert es da noch, wenn Faschos auf der Straße auch einfach Strafrecht aussetzen und beleidigen, drohen, verletzen und morden?
Spahn ist mitschuld.


Last night I had a nightmare that Gtk+ had not been maintained by 7 years and that Owen Taylor had moved on to a secret Red Had project on social media and I was running frantically trying to get a new release out.

We’ve all heard the phrase “under-promise, over-deliver.”

But what about “over-promise, unsustainably deliver to crush competition, gradually erode consumer trust over time?”

As far as I know carriages only officially open to both sides at 5 stations.

Goodbye unnecessary rotations & hello longer maximum password length! (Fun fact: Tuta has no password length limits 😎)

What do you think of these changes? How do you create your passwords securely?

It's still gonna be a while before universities and companies stop unnecessary password rotations for practices IRL.

🔥 Twitter vs Fediverso 🔥

A la encuesta de @ElSaltoDiario sobre si quedarse o no en Twitter podemos ver que:

En Twitter la mayoría quieren que se queden. El el Fediverso prefieren que lo dejen.

Pero en el Fediverso hay un 79% más de votos que en Twitter. Pero aún seguimos con la matraca de "es que en el Fediverso hay poca interacción y por eso he abandonado mi cuenta".

Twitter es un nido de ratas, huid de allí todes y venid al Fediverso! La reorganización es clave para nuestra sociedad.

Pedir a los rentistas que no sean avariciosos no es política de vivienda.

Hay que tocar los beneficios de los grandes tenedores e intervenir el precio de la vivienda.

Sí, intervenir el precio de la vivienda, ministra. Ya hemos perdido una legislatura, no perdamos esta también.

Na to že som minulý týždeň skoro celý robil a do toho cvičil... v pondelok po tréningu mohol teambuilding dopadnúť aj horšie. Necítim sa ale najlepšie po pravde.


Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:

Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.

A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.

Decoy phones.

Seriously, no one thought about this?...

@cachondo there was a vibrating watch called the Meteor. Not sure if it’s still available. I think it cost about 80 quid.

@dwilliams niche markets, I guess. Sad that scale should still pose problems with JIT production, 3d printing, that sort of stuff should have helped.

Wednesday. Sitting through a presentation at work and really thinking that this is what i'm taking a whole bunch of meds to stay awake for?
Where's the relaxation? The fun? Family time? The books? The Movies?
Hopefully it'll be over soon!
I know, ineed to work to enjoy everything else. but when your waking hours are so limited it's even more frustrating that this has to be the priority.

90% de probabilidad de que si el día del examen sacan cuatro bolas¹ con títulos de temas para que elijas cuál desarrollar, al menos un tema de esos será de los que te has estudiado. ¿Es 90% suficiente o iríais tirándoos de los pelos pensando en el 10% en el que no caería nada de lo que has estudiado?

¹alerta si te sacas las opos de profe en #murcia, se rumorea en sindicatos y academias que hay una bola menos este año

in reply to modulux

jajaja, es que por un tema...
Yo respeto mucho a quien se prepara oposiciones de este tipo, porque no poder confiar ni en la misericordia de quien redacte el examen para no profundizar en esos cambios de última hora me pondría tensísima.

En las últimas del INE también cambiaron el estatuto del organismo mientras me las estudiaba a un mes del examen y me faltó presentarme con dos pistolas.

in reply to Elena

Tengo unos compañeros que están haciendo la promoción interna que tardó un montón desde la OPE y convocatoria hasta el examen, se modificaron leyes clave, y claro, ahora el temario se refiere a títulos y capítulos de leyes que fueron totalmente reestructuradas, y hasta que nombren tribunal no saben muy bien como se va a interpretar eso, suponiendo que el tribunal emita algún tipo de aclaración.
