Danke #Merz! Der Typ hat echt mal so keine Ahnung von der Realität…

Wie kann ein normaler Arbeitnehmer solche einen Typen bzw. die dazugehörige Partei wählen?
Politik für den Bürger? Fehlanzeige!

Und den Umweltschutz auf der Strecke lassen, ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht der jungen Generationen.

Wer #Merz oder die #CDU wählt, der wählt Rückständigkeit und soziale Kälte

Me: “whew”

Them: Provide your Email address”

Me: “that’s a payment, though. Personal information is a payment”

I was at a masked meetup in Golden Gate Park today, enjoying the company of fellow #CovidIsNotOver peeps. There's a discord server that we use to coordinate, and it's usually just an informal hang. We're not completely off the beaten path, but let's just say parking isn't a problem.

Guy (properly masked) walks up to us and asks us if we're a #CovidConsious group. He'd never heard of us, and thought he and his wife were the only ones.

Visibility matters, y'all.

Every time government leaders get a raise, minimum wage should be raised by the same percentage.

Every time a CEO gets a raise, including bonuses, all workers should get their pay increased by the same percentage.

If they need raises in their living wage, it only goes to follow that everyone else does as well.

The courier came to the door. He said, “Mate! I have two iPhones for you mate!” I said, “yeah mate, that’s what I was expecting mate”! He said, “Mate, why do you need two iPhones mate!” I said, “one for each ear mate”. He said, “that’s incredible mate”.

Now I have an incredible restore assembly line underway, where I’m running between Bonnie’s and my phones, so when she gets home, it’ll be all ready for her. Yea. She will be so happy, and her happiness is my purpose in life.

Ich habe ein Manuskript, das vor allem aus Dialogen besteht, also wie ein Hörspiel oder Theaterstück. Eine Hörspielumsetzung mit echten Personen ist wohl unrealistisch.

In der visuellen Version werden die Sprechenden durch Emojis vermerkt, die kann ich leicht durch Namen ersetzen, als AltText oder in einer extra Version.

Wie würdest du so etwas lesen wollen?

Benutzt du einen #Screenreader oder Ähnliches?

Vermute ich richtig, dass eine einfache HTML-Seite (ohne JavaScript oder kompliziertes Layout) bei gleichem Inhalt grundsätzlich barrierefreier ist als eine PDF-Datei? Wie ist es mit ePub?

Wertet dein Screenreader PDF-Tagging und Alternativtexte aus, oder liest er nur vor, was an der Oberfläche zu sehen ist?

Every so often I go read the Amazon reviews for replacement SawStop cartridges and see how many fingers have been saved lately

Even the folks reporting false positives on wet wood, nails, etc almost always give five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was at a Hashira workshop with @Bubu the past two days which was really nice. Here are some of my favourite photos from it!

(@Bubu took the photos and did all the wonderful ties in them)

I find myself really irked by the headline here. The problem is not a "simple website bug", the problem is that they wrote thousands of lines of code without ever thinking about what the trust boundaries are, or should be.

This is a massive design flaw. The idea that cars should be controllable from some mothership is bizarre (and not needed for app control - have a digital signature from the mobile device). The idea that cars are enrolled even if the user didn't set up an account is similarly broken. This isn't a "simple website bug" but a massive failure to consider the security implications of features.

Some of these science videos I see on TikTok are so absurd I'm convinced I'm being trolled.

There was one where they were putting a bunch of bees into tiny chairs in a miniature classroom. Then they placed explosives in front of the class and only fed the bees which attempted to investigate the explosives. As a result the bees became conditioned to instinctively stick out their tongues expecting food whenever they detected the scent of explosives. So they built a handheld explosive scanner where the cartridges are literally just rows of bees in tiny chairs and a computer vision algorithm which monitors how many bees stick out their tongues at any one time.

I though this has to be an elaborate prank, but according to Google, this is actually a real device that someone made.

Portanto….. as duas pessoas que gritam “25 de Abril sempre” são agredidas pelos manifestantes do chega e a seguir a polícia prende-as, é isso? expresso.pt/sociedade/20...

Tive que procurar as imagens porque achava impossivel ter acontecido o que tinha visto relatado.

Mas vi na SIC Noticias às 22:00 as imagens do apoiante do CH a agredir violentamente com socos manifestantes pró-imigração, uma delas que cai violentamente no chão com o impacto.

O que faz a PSP? Deixa o agressor do CH ir em paz 😧 e detém 2 dos manifestantes agredidos 😧 após tê-los imobilizados de forma violenta 😧

A PSP mais uma vez a demonstrar de que lado está
