There is a global need for us to stand up for our #RightToRide. Here is a message I just sent to Uber, which explains what we just went through tonight.

I am blind and use a white cane. My wife is also blind and is accompanied by a guide dog.
This evening, we enjoyed dinner with friends, and upon leaving the restaurant, used the Uber app to request a ride home.
The driver pulled up almost immediately, but I still sent a text to him to let him know that my wife and I are blind and that she was traveling with a guide dog. I asked the driver if he could assist us to his vehicle.
One of my friends has some useable vision, and was able to direct us to the vehicle. The driver told my friend that he wasn’t going to take us and that we had to call Uber pet. All of us explained calmly and clearly that guide dogs were not pets, that it was illegal for him to refuse to carry us.
The driver did not believe us. He kept insisting we must use Uber Pet, or Uber Assist. At this point, I explained the process as I understood it. That if he drove away in breach of the law, we would notify Uber. Uber would begin an investigation which would result in the driver being barred from the platform pending that investigation, and possible further training.
At this point, I was videoing the exchange on my phone for evidence, which I may yet still provide to the media. The driver continued to insist that he wasn’t required to transport us. I indicated that since he was breaking the law, we also had the option to call the police.
As I am tired of having my civil rights violated by Uber drivers in this way, I calmly advised the driver that I was going to sit in the vehicle while my friends called the police. I explained that while in it, I would also seek to raise assistance from someone at Uber.
At this point, he said, “OK, I’ll take you”. I didn’t feel particularly safe, but I advised my wife that we were no longer being refused a ride and that she should get into the back of the vehicle with her guide dog.
During the ride home, the driver was courteous and I think curious, but he continued to insist that he wasn’t required to take us, that he was only doing so out of sympathy for us because we are blind. I took the opportunity to educate, to explain how well trained guide dogs are. He asked what functions guide dogs performed and we explained them to him. But he kept insisting that Uber had told him that disabled people with dogs should use Uber Assist or Uber Pet. For the record, we used Uber X because a driver was nearby and it was raining heavily.
To add insult to injury, because of the altercation which took several minutes, we have been charged extra for the ordeal we endured.
Clearly, something is seriously deficient in terms of the way Uber trains and onboards its drivers. Blind people should not be made to feel like they are liars, and have to take action to prevent the vehicle from leaving the scene so the police can get involved, just to get home from a night out.
Drivers must know the law, and Uber must take responsibility for ensuring drivers are aware of the law and comply with it.
This was a deeply distressing, upsetting conclusion to what was a pleasant night. We should be able to enjoy a night out without it ending like this.

Der Hund fährt gerne Aufzug, deswegen nutze ich das Ding. Ich würde sonst die Treppen nehmen. Meistens jedenfalls.

Ich habe einen Nachbarn, der auf derselben Etage wohnt. Wir nehmen ab und an gemeinsam den Aufzug. Manchmal steigt er nicht ein, weil er erkältet ist, und wegen meiner Maske Rücksicht nimmt.

Der Aufzug hat immer wieder einen Defekt. Einmal ging das Licht nicht.

Mein Nachbar hat erst gezögert, ich habe ihm aber gesagt, dass er ruhig einsteigen kann. Wir sind also gemeinsam...

btw, I guess it may be a good idea to mention here I'm officially looking for a job. One that has zero relation with WordPress or its ecosystem, if possible.

So if you need a javascript someone with quite a bunch of experience working in content creation platforms and similar shit, give me a ping.

FediNuke/tier0.csv transparency update:

I override-added an instance to FediNuke using my documented override process.

feministwiki.org (subdomain “fedi.”): I blocked this on envs back in June proactively after it was automatically queued for manual review. The decision was easy, given the blatant transmisia on their root domain.

Since then, additional receipts have cropped up and they’ve been blocked by enough bias sources for me to do the override process. I added it to my shared lists, inc. FediNuke. Receipts on my receipt archive.

Severity is on par with the likes of spinster.xyz.

I know there are “native” HomeKit thermostats and whatever, but we’ve had Nest gear for years and it all still runs like a champ. We have Nest E, Nest Hello doorbell, etc.

What I’m saying is, Starling Home Hub is a great little puck that hooks our Nest stuff into HomeKit. And app-wise, I’m clinging to the OG Nest app for dear life. It’s so much nicer than Google Home, IMO.

And now this too ...

"On behalf of the WordPress security team, ..." and then many mentions of "fixing a security issue" without specifying what it is. (The patch is, presumably, public since the plugin is OSS and PHP?)

I don't have an opinion on the broader Wordpress situation, but seeing a security exception used to wield power in a broader controversy is extremely worrying.

Open source communities trust security teams with exceptional powers, and weakening that trust damages everyone.

Finding fulfillment and satisfaction in life is a very difficult task.

Ableism and individualism make it far, far more difficult than it should be, by leading us into a false understanding of how life even works.

But there is a way out.
