Misinformation is false or inaccurate information—getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to mislead.
The way I easily recall this for myself is, misinformation is something you can crawl out from under as a mistake. While disinformation can often lead the person down a path of a mental disease, where coming up with it becomes gamified and of little consequence to them and their future
Under the Radar #303: Raising Prices - Relay FM
Looking around the App Store, it's clear that we're not charging enough.Relay FM
Just received a bit of unusually honest job spam:
We are looking to enter the US software market and are
interested in working with experienced US professionals.
Given the salary gap between US developers and other
developers, I think this collaboration could be beneficial to
both of us.
Oh really? How's that? Do I in particular seem like someone who might be OK with a lower salary? Hard not to read something like this and see in it every instance of someone thinking I should be OK with less for some reason related to my disability. They probably didn't know that specifically and maybe I'm misreading, and also they claimed to have found my non-existent LinkedIn, but for everyone writing that I'm sure there are many who don't.
Job-searching as someone with a disability suuuuucks.

Bombic je z tej miniaturnej mensiny, pre ktoru sa podarilo naplnit tu cast programoveho vyhlasenia aktualnej vlady, ktora hovori o "bezpečnejšie žiť".

Este k tomu programovemu vyhlaseniu vlady: - "Lepšie": urcite nie, aj ked to zuzime iba na ekonomiku, lebo konsokidacia zdvihne naklady vsetkym¹ - "pokojnejšie": to tiez nie, lebo "furt nieco"² - "bezpečne žiť": nuz, ani to, o.i.Mastodon
I really feel sorry for the public sector employees working on meeting this #a11y deadline for PDFs.
"PDFs are where services go to die."
No doubt the people working on this will be super under-resourced, and actually meeting this deadline won't be seen as much of a win by anyone, but not meeting it has legal and dire consequences.
To be clear more #a11y is good! Under-resourcing teams is not!

The elephant in the new accessibility law: PDFs
If your government agency is typical, you have a lot of PDFs. Probably thousands. They are probably not accessible.Rebecca Woodbury (Department of Civic Things newsletter)
Here in the United States, "I'm voting Green" is just a shorthand way of saying "I'm voting for the cheaper Putin lickspittle to help the more expensive Putin lickspittle get back into the White House."
To the Green supporters/Russian bots about to fume in the comments about how their vote is in fact something else than the above, here is my pre-emptive reply:
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?
Wow. I didn't expect the amount of resonance my writeup is getting. Thank you very much.

@Michael Vogel Wenn Du die Funktion Natives Teilen nicht wieder herstellen kannst bzw. magst, fühle ich mich mit meinen Kenntnissen und Fähigkeiten außerstande, hin und her zu testen. Darum versuche ich zu akzeptieren, dass ich mich vom nativen Teilen verabschieden muss.
Die aktuelle Einstellung Spiegeln als meine eigenen Beiträge bewirkt, dass Blogeinträge und Kommentare auf dem Blog in meiner oldie-Instanz gespiegelt werden. Blogkommentare auf oldie werden jedoch nicht im Blog gespiegelt. Ich denke, damit werde ich leben können.
Der andere Friendica-Account ist mein Feedreader, den ich ausschließlich als Feedreader nutzen möchte. Und nur zu diesem Zweck habe ich ihn eingerichtet.
Von weiteren Tests in dieser Sache möchte ich lieber Abstand nehmen, weil mich das nur wieder verwirren würde.
Die aktuelle Lösung (siehe oben) ist zwar nicht die Ideallösung, aber sie kommt von allen diesbezüglichen Funktionen dem nativen Teilen noch am nächsten.
"Idle thoughts for October"
baldurbjarnason.com/2024/idle-…
This week's post is short but manages to be a bit contemplative nonetheless.
Idle thoughts for October
I decided to take a bit of a writing break after last week’s mammoth essay. Not because writing these things takes so much of my time.www.baldurbjarnason.com
Und es flattert gleich ein Beispiel in meine Timeline, warum es Mist ist, wenn Posts keine Bildbeschreibung haben.
Es wäre toll, wenn ALLE, auch Leute, die auf Screenreader angewiesen sind und zum Beispiel als Sehbehinderte oder Blinde die Buchmesse besuchen, wüssten, dass in Halle 3.1 B101 beim Gedenkprojekt zu den Bücherverbrennungen der Nazis Sticker und Buttons der Leseratten Antifa zu haben sind.
Es ya el tercer día y esto que no se pasa.
Sé que me queda sólo un día que sufrir, por lo general, pero ahora mismo me quiero morir.
Y para colmo, el termómetro parlante que tengo me dice: "su temperatura es 38,1 grados. ¡usted es la fieeeeebre e e e!", a sí, con una voz cavernosa.

“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.

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...
