Dutch cartoonist Ruben L. Oppenheimer today in newspaper NRC: Trump's bible.
Small orange hands on a book, maybe a bible. One hand moves a finger along the lines to read what it says. Chapter 1 1 In the beginning, Trump created the heavens and the earth; big, beautiful earth. It was the biggest earth anybody had ever seen in the history of creation. Incredible. I call it: paradise. And Kamala was allowing millions and millions of people to come into our paradise. So sad! 2 But the earth was without form, and void; total disaster. By the way all Biden's fault. Worst God ever. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. We're doing great in the deep by the way. And the Spirit of Trump moved upon the face of the waters bigly. Strong waters, the best waters. 3 And Trump said, Let there be light, tremendous light: and there was light, the greatest light. Everybody says so. 4 And the light came from China! And Trump saw that the light was good; because it was cheap.

So jetzt mal ehrlich ihr #Fedinauten da draußen, die ihr #Misskey, #Sharkey oder #Iceshrimp nutzt! Wieso nutzt ihr das, was ihr nutzt und was findet ihr besser im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Fedi-Möglichkeiten?

Bin auf der Suche nach einer weiteren Fedi-Software, die ich mir genauer anschauen möchte und muss mich zwischen den dreien entscheiden.

Gerne darf dieser Beitrag zur Entscheidungsfindung geteilt werden. 😜

I was told that the output I would likely get on most of the triple 7 controls would be bogus, and that currently the mcp speed box does not work. Until I can actually fly a test sector with it, we'll be doing the 737-900 ER

Probably going to be streaming again today. Most likely the PMDG tripple 7. I have never flown this particular aircraft before, and I will absolutely fly it like the 737. I also know that accessibility is a WIP, so there are some things I simmply cannot do.

@drew Out of interest, do you know if there is a deliberate a reason WhatsApp UWP has the emoji and add attachment buttons between the message list and the input box? That makes it less efficient to get between the two, which is a pretty regular thing. I can easily work around this with the WhatsAppPlus NVDA add-on, but I always prefer things to be better out of the box, so thought I'd ask. Could those buttons be positioned after the input box instead?

+1 to this.
having input and outputnext to each other in the tab order is far more logical to my mind, particularly given that you can press return to send.

Thanks for this! I’ll see what I can do, can’t make any promises though🙁

In general, how big a priority would you put on having fewer tabs to get you to where you want to go? This is a place where WCAG falls down a bit IMO because it emphasizes following the visual order, which can clutter things up.

the visual order makes no sense if you need to interact with the list of messages in this case.

No digo que no tengáis razón los que decís que el gasto en subvenciones al alquiler habría que meterlo en inspecciones. A largo plazo, sería lo mejor. Pero esto, ¿que implica?

Para empezar, modificación de las RPTs correspondientes, para lo que hay que ir a negociación colectiva, obtener informes preceptivos varios, dotar las plazas presupuestariamente, y de forma consolidable (con lo que se necesitarían hacer modificaciones presupuestarias al capítulo I), sacar la oferta de empleo público (que es anual), convocar, nombrar tribunal, y hacer las pruebas selectivas, resolver recursos, llamar a nombramientos, dar tomas de posesión...

Si se hace en 2 años, es con suerte.

lo malo es que se ha demostrado que las ayudas al alquiler directamente van a una subida en igual cuantía del precio a pagar y al final estamos como antes a costa de perder dinero público en subvencionar al rentista.

Happy thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends. We aren't big on Turky, so dinner tonight will be a boneless leg of lamb done on the smoker, mashed potatoes and stuffing.

i grew up surrounded by people who read books by self-help and project-management gurus, from teachers to relatives. I’m critical of much of the overcomplicated advice that gets published by them. one of the only self-help or project-management mantras i sincerely believe in is SMART goals.

Any time I make a goal that I haven’t made sure is specific, measurable, attainable/realistic, for which I’m responsible by a given time, I fail. Silly acronyms that spell out relevant words are supposed to be bullshit but this is somehow the ultimate exception.

“work out more often” fails. “try this light five-day exercise regiment, fitting it into your schedule on these days, and write down what was too easy to ramp up next week” works.

“clean the house regularly” fails. “clean the counter until it’s smooth, at this time tomorrow, within 15 minutes, and reward myself with some blueberries if i finish in time before moving onto the next cleaning task” works.

With ADHD it’s impossible for me to be productive at something without obsessively SMART-ing my way through it. I’ve tried everything and this is the only thing that’s stuck. I’m amazed that such a silly corpo acronym for increasing team productivity is actually 100% legit.

seriously. SMART covers all the ways I wriggle out of tasks.

  • “where do i begin”: specific.
  • “will I ever be have done enough”: measurable.
  • “it’s too overwhelming”: attainable.
  • “someone else can do it”: responsible individual.
  • “eh, later”: time-bound.
  • “I don’t feel like it”: I went through the trouble of making a SMART goal, making a five step promise to myself to do something. I don’t want that effort to go to waste.

That’s basically it. All the ways I avoid something taken care of by one comically simple acronym.

adhd brains are an absolute joke. for real. like, the only thing I did today was to attach a time to the tasks. not just the day, no, a specific time and an estimated guess how long it’s going to take.

and that alone tremendously helped. omg.

thank you so much for sharing this!!

Sometimes I wish there was a way to either turn off user names altogether or put them at the end of the posts. This may be e a screen reader thing, but it gets overwhelming to my ears when one or two people take over my timeline. No personal feelings, BTW!

When JD Vance says, "My wife has three children" – he does not refer to his wife by her name (Usha). He also does not refer to any of his 3 children by name (Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel). And most importantly (red lights flashing, sirens blaring) – he doesn't acknowledge himself as his daughter's/sons' father (i.e., "Usha and I have three children"). All three of these are significant distancing behaviors.

I am once again asking you to refrain from using “Zionist” or any variation thereof when you talk about Israel, its government, people from Israel, settler-colonialism, etc.

Because the way you’re using it is similar to how it’s been used as an antisemitic slur for decades and it’s normalizing that kind of thing in a way that will harm Jews who have nothing to do with Israel and may even vocally oppose the policies and actions of Israel’s government.

Is there a reason I shouldn’t buy a framework laptop to replace this Dell garbage?

I feel like it’s the year 2001 when I resisted getting a mobile phone until I really needed it. Now I’m resisting Meta glasses. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the cost … I really need a laptop too, but it may also be because it’s “what everybody’s doing” in my little community. For now, I resisted instant next day arrival, and my wife and I’ll be old geezer standouts for awhile at least. We are ok being classed as geezerz though.

@andrew @FreakyFwoof @jscholes I don’t have the need for any kind of smart glasses right now and we’re trying to save money and all. But if I were buying, even with any downsides I’ll take a mainstream option over a for the blind product. I just don’t trust these niche products that are so highly priced to stay around. And when envision ends up like Orcam it’ll be a mess.

The sky was thick solid clouds stretching from the horizon in the east to just above the horizon in the west. I wondered if that little gap above the horizon in the west would be enough for an interesting sunset. We waited 35 minutes for sunset and it was worth it.
