“Under [Stallman’s] ideological leadership, the free software movement is unsafe, particularly for women. Women represent just 3% of the free software community, compared to 23% of industry programmers generally. This is no accident.”
This, 100%. Thank you for saying out in the open what we have all lived, survived, observed, and known to be true for decades. Now that F/OSS can’t look away, what will we do about it? The fish rots from the head, after all…

Just got back from my dentist. Her boss has introduced #AI into the clinic. It claims to automatically detect many conditions and right away it found 4 issues affecting my teeth.
The only downside was that its findings were 100% wrong, which my dentist of many years' experience spotted immediately.

AI-powered software narrates surroundings for visually impaired in real time

This weekend I managed to get #wmbus receiver working. 🎉
Our housing cooperative installed new hot water and heater meters with radio readings. I found out it uses 868Mhz wmbus protocol and that there is an #ESPHome extension adding support for this.
I only needed encryption keys, which I was provided with by the cooperative.
Now my #HomeAssistant tracks out heating and hot water #consuption. Yay...

#OTD in 1843.
William Rowan Hamilton invents quaternions, a 3D system of complex numbers.
Important precursors to this work included Euler's four-square identity (1748) & Olinde Rodrigues' parameterization of general rotations by 4 parameters (1840), but neither of these writers treated the four-parameter rotations as an algebra. Carl Friedrich Gauss had discovered quaternions in 1819, but this work was not published until 1900.

Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”

„Naposledy za námi přijela někdy na podzim. Jen na pár dní. Ustlala si tehdy mezi mnou a klukem, na zemi, přímo pod stolem. Prý že tak je zvyklá, že takhle se cítí v bezpečí. Celé noci tam pak naříkala. Vyla jako zvíře a křičela ze spaní. Nikdo si prý neumíme představit, co se tam na východě odehrává.“

Ever find that sitting in front of your unnecessarily complex music rig is hard sometimes? Creative block hits and there's nothing you can do about it?
I certainly find that lately, more often than not.
One device has come into my life and changed a lot of that however. Ableton Move.
In this world-first video, I take you through making a beat without sight, just using the undocumented screen-reader function within the web-based Move Manager.
It's incredibly freeing to be able to just load a fresh set, be presented with four random sounds and perhaps one of them will inspire you so you just begin doing a thing that you had absolutely no plan to do before you started.

Liebe Männer,
wenn ihr einen Post über Mansplaining lest und das dringende Bedürfnis verspürt, witzig drunterzukommentieren (z.B. "Ich mansplaine hier mal drunter haha"), lasst es einfach.
Es ist nicht lustig und tausende Männer vor euch hatten schon dieselbe Idee.
Do not downplay this. The Wall Street Journal editorial endorses murdering UN peacekeeping troops. This is all this means. They have adopted Netanyahu's line. It's a choice.
What follows is Israel bombing the UN.
They already did that: look up the 1996 Qana Massacre.
Kind of a jarring experience to have dudes publicly in my mentions defending Stallman over individual nitpicks on one item in a thousand-page dossier while right next to them on my TL are locked posts from women detailing decades of trauma and ruined career opportunities from him and his ilk.
Stallman is a piece of shit, he has demonstrated this over the course of decades, and if you want me to think highly of you, you will not defend him in my replies. I am not open to being persuaded!
