If TFG wins, expect a run on fly-by-night crypto/fintech companies. VCs are holding back on deals to see what they can get away with in the next administration.
The risk profile between an admin run by a former prosecutor and one run by a dude currently running many of the same scams turns out to be a little different.
Anyway, if you care even a little bit about grifters trying to sell Grandma unregulated crypto derivatives, that’s one of 1000 things that hinge on this presidential election.

Do you need Code of Conduct Enforcement training in 2025?
Fill out my workshop time survey:
Help me figure out what time to run my monthly Code of Conduct Enforcement workshops.
otter.technology/code-of-condu…
With people needing training in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America, it's impossible to find one single workshop time that works for everyone. So each month I pick a different time zone to best accommodate.
If you are a conference organizer, please let me know which month and time you need training!
You can either fill out the form, or send an email to sharp@otter.technology
Nejdřív mě v kaufu nasrali. Lednice s minipivovary zmizela od piv. No tak jsem tam vzal basu ve slevě.
A pak mě znova nasrali. Oni tu lednici jen přestěhovali k pokladnám 🙃
Kurzer Bericht im DLF über Behinderten-Ausbeutungsbetriebe ("Werkstätten").
Es gilt immer noch als Argument, dass behinderte Menschen mit einem feuchten Händedruck entlohnt werden können, weil sie dankbar sein sollten, überhaupt arbeiten zu dürfen. Es ist einfach nur empörend, wie unsere Gesellschaft mit Menschen umgeht.
Knapp 6 Minuten, es gibt eine Zusammenfassung als Text.

Ich kenne übrigens einige der Argumente aus meiner Erwerbslosenzeit, wenn mir irgendwelche Mistjobs oder Quatschmaßnahmen schmackhaft gemacht werden sollten: Geregelter Tagesablauf (als wäre das ein Wert an sich), "Anerkennung" (als stünde ein entwürdigender Lohn dem Anerkennungsgefühl nicht offensichtlich entgegen), "Sinnstiftung und Identität" (weil ein Mensch ohne Arbeit ein wertloser Niemand ist), blabla. Das alles sei viel wichtiger und toller als eine angemessene oder überhaupt eine Bezahlung.
Unsere verkorkste Arbeitsmythologie macht wenige Menschen reich und viele Menschen arm und krank.

Das ist eine Nummer, die du in einer Situation weitergeben kannst, in der du dich belästigt oder unwohl fühlst. Wählt die Person dann diese Nummer, erhält sie kurze Zeit später folgende Nachricht:
„Hey, hier ist Noa. Eine Person hat sich nicht wohlgefühlt und dir deswegen diese Nummer gegeben. Besuche noanruf.de/nummer-bekommen/ und schau, wie du diese Situation beim nächsten Mal vermeiden kannst. Grüße, NoA.“
Today windows did another of its interesting gropey behaviours, changing my default browser to edge. I'm not going to fucking use edge, not now, not later. Stop trying.
And for some reason the programs that were opened while this change took place wouldn't use the right browser until I restarted them. Ugh.
We need a printer for the home office.
Small footprint is probably the top thing, because space is tight. Think something a bit bigger than a sheet of A4 for the ideal.
But we print rarely, so don't want the ink to dry up. It needs to be pulled out after 6-9 months of inactivity and work.
I am so lost with inktanks versus inkjet and have never seen a small laser printre.

Außerdem noch in der LightDM-Konfigurationsdatei (entweder /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf oder /etc/xdg/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/80_orca-dm-wrapper.conf) den Orca-Greeter einschalten, damit bei der Anmeldung gesprochen wird: greeter-wrapper=/usr/bin/orca-dm-wrapper
No idea how it renders visually but it works well for VO.
and the developer is a really nice guy. I left the testing group a few months back because I wanted to give Nostr a try. Only realizing now that you can actually use both. Though, I have to be careful what I say on here lest I get booted, something that can’t happen on Nostr.
Tell him I said hello. 😊
Sometimes Emacs drives me up the fucking wall, but then I have to use editable dired like once a year and I regain all my love for it.
Is this codependency.
I think #Anki holds a great deal of potential for #blind learners of #languages and other subjects:
The desktop app uses Qt 6, so isn't entirely unusable. It's also fully open source.
The iOS app is extremely usable with VoiceOver, albeit relatively expensive for a mobile app at £24.99, and not open source.
The web interface is usable, but would currently cause people to think more about how to use it than the actual subject they were studying. Still, with some user scripting, it could be workable.
And finally, all Anki functionality is available via their Python library, which could be used in a command line app or more #accessible frontend.
Of course, the issue is always the time needed to take things from where they are now to where they need to be. And I suspect a significant challenge would be having screen readers speak/braille things in the correct language as hopefully declared by each flashcard.
There were these twin sisters just turning one hundred years old in St. Luke's Nursing Home and the editor of the Cambridge rag, "The Cambridge Distorter",
told a photographer to get over there and take the pictures of these 100 year old twin bitteys.
One of the twins was hard of hearing and the other could hear quite well. The photographer asked them to sit on the sofa and the deaf one said to her twin,
"WHAT DID HE SAY?"
He said, "WE GOTTA SIT OVER THERE ON THE SOFA!", said the other.
"Now get a little closer together", said the cameraman.
Again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" "HE SAYS SQUEEZE TOGETHER A LITTLE" - So they wiggled up close to each other.
"Just hold on for a bit longer, I've got to focus a little", said the photographer.
YET AGAIN - "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
"HE SAYS HE'S GONNA FOCUS!"
With a big grin, the deaf twin shouted out, - "OH MY GOD - BOTH OF US?"

We heard back from the Obtanium dev, and his advice is to delete the app from Obtainium and re-add it, but specify a release title filter this time. Or you could add it in one click via the crowdsourced app configs website: apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/?cat…
(Basically, there was a hiccup caused by the fact that repo now hosts two apps instead of one, but this should be a one-time occurrence.)
