I donated to @glyph and co's #SuperSwingDistricts slate. Properly resourcing state-level candidates increases the chance that voters in important swing districts might actually get to meet someone they're going to vote for, or be persuaded to show up and vote for something that matters to their local community.
Given that only 2.4% of people who responded to the latest [Screen Reader Survey](webaim.org/projects/screenreadβ¦) use it as a primary, I can't imagine a comprehensive or freuqently updated thing would be very robust.

@vol4life8657 The intrusive nature of ads and their negative impact on accessibility was one reason why I chose to stop using the Google News app on iOS.

Op vrijdag 22 november (13u30) en zaterdag 23 november (11u) organiseer ik een wandeling vanuit de Krook in #Gent waar we met #OpenStreetMap en @MapComplete bewakingscamera's in kaart gaan brengen.
Na een korte uitleg gaat iedereen een eigen kant op, op zoek naar camera's.

Hmm, interesting news from the Sound On Sound newsletter that could be useful for windows music-makers.
Microsoft announce audio-focused ARM64, ASIO & MIDI 2.0 Windows features
As part of their keynote at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit 2024, Microsoft have made a number of announcements about upcoming Windows features geared towards musicians and audio professionals.

Literally all I took away from that was an audio-focused arm, which is an image I will hold in my head today and enjoy. I am going to swing my arm around as I do things today and imagine it making ... arm noises.

Some more work on testing congestion control in picoquic on high speed loopback links. I found out that the data rate for a 10GB download using Cubic was less than half the data rate of a 1GB download. The issue: ACK Frequency was setting a 1ms delay and a very large ACK Gap, causing feedback frequency to drop and Cubic to slow. The fix: cap the ack gap to 32. More in the blog.
The first investigation of loopback performance focused on the randomness of the RTT measurements on loopback, and the fix for BBR was to not make congestion control decisions based on delays if the RTT were small.

Which is timely with the OpenSSL 3.4.0 release announced just days ago: that still does not offer a working (and performant) QUIC API. (yes, there is an attempt there but it's not production grade)
It's almost like the writing was on the wall already a long time ago.
In a world that is now gradually adopting HTTP/3 (which, as you know, is implemented over QUIC), the problem with the missing API for QUIC is still a key problem.

Attention all #remoteIncidentManager technicians who may be assisting end users running macOS Sequoia: Recent changes in macOS Sequoia have created some challenges for our Remote Accessibility Module, which allows seamless assistance without revealing the technicianβs disability. Due to changes in how #VoiceOver settings are managed in macOS Sequoia, visually impaired technicians may experience issues that disrupt their ability to perform tasks discreetly. Weβve identified these problems and are working with Appleβs Accessibility team to find a long-term solution, but we need your help to make sure this critical issue is prioritized. If youβve experienced difficulties using RIM on macOS Sequoia, we encourage you to contact Appleβs Accessibility department - accessibility@apple.com - and politely but firmly advocate the prioritization of a reliable API that allows for safe, controlled adjustments to VoiceOver. Spread this message far and wide! Together, we can push for better accessibility and maintain the tools that empower visually impaired professionals, while fully preserving their dignity by preventing non-consensual disclosure of disability. Accessibility is a right to inclusivity, and true inclusivity in this case must allow for the fair and equal treatment of visually impaired technicians in this stage of the support process. #accessibility #inclusivity
UnitedHealth has confirmed for the first time that over 100 million people had their personal information and healthcare data stolen in the Change Healthcare ransomware attack, marking this as the largest healthcare data breach in recent years.
Before you tell a disabled person that they need to βjust make the healthcare worker maskββ¦ please understand the imbalance of power that exists in hospital settings.
We canβt βjust make themβ do anything. If they refuse -our options are to take the risk or go without care.
Thereβs little recourse when a HCW refuses to mask - thereβs almost NO recourse that exists in the moment.
You can file a complaint after the fact - but if the care you require is urgent or an emergency - that wonβt help you
Imagine youβre taken to the emergency room with an urgent (or life threatening) issue. The doctor comes in and refuses to wear a mask.
Do you walk out? Throw a fit? These are not good options
Even if you manage to keep your composure and strongly advocate for them to reconsider - the longer you argue the more potential virus youβre being exposed to.
The more you βannoyβ the staff - the greater the odds of retaliation or reduction in care.
This isnβt like telling a friend or a colleague to mask. The dynamic is completely different.
HCWs have the ability to help you or harm you. You want them on your side.
A note in your chart indicating youβre anxious, difficult, non compliant etc can follow you around and impact all your care going forward. Getting charts corrected and notes removed is a time consuming and difficult process
As a result many patients donβt push the issue. They delay medical care as long as possible and then just cross their fingers they will get a compassionate HCW when they do finally go.
These delays can also cause harm - and shouldnβt be necessary.
Hospitals have never been terribly safe places. Theyβre where the strongest and most resistant bugs thrive. Theyβre also where the sickest and most vulnerable people are.
At least before Covid it felt like hospitals were TRYING to prevent infection.
These days itβs as though any amount of infection control is seen as weak. People are actually bragging about how many times theyβve had Covid or about the risks theyβre taking with their health. Staff arenβt masking even around babies, cancer & transplant patients
We have to change course. Our healthcare systems could barely handle the amount of chronic illness they were facing before Covid - they certainly canβt handle the constant influx of disabled patients and staff that Covid is causing.
This is why we need mandatory masks in healthcare settings. The responsibility to keep themselves and others safe should NOT fall on the vulnerable patient.
Many are unable to advocate for themselves - and others are unable to mask.
Mandatory masking protects everyone
Lastly - the solution to this problem should not be βdonβt go to the hospitalβ. Itβs not right to make ANY patient feel like theyβre wrong for seeking care. Like theyβve somehow βfailedβ if they end up with Covid.
Until youβre facing a life threatening emergency or serious health challenges - you canβt possibly know what you would do.
Is it scary to go to the hospital right now? Of course. Is it also necessary? Absolutely.
Patients should never be blamed for needing care or for being unable to get HCWs to mask. The system is failing us - we arenβt failing each other.
If you need the hospital - you have all my love & support. Itβs impossibly hard - and I will keep fighting to make it better.
As long as hospitals refuse to do whatβs right to prevent COVID (hello clean air & mandatory masking)β¦ the onus is unfairly on the PATIENT to avoid COVID.
My guide offers tips to reduce your risk of hospital acquired COVID (and other HAIs)
A guide to navigating the risk of hospital acquired Covid - as well as how to manage overall risk of nosocomial infections and hospital derived complications.
Iβm sad that a guide on how to avoid COVID in hospital is even needed. But it IS needed.
What we need MORE is mandatory masking in hospitals. They would prevent the overwhelming majority of covid infections.
HCWs - you donβt need to wait for a mandate. You can CHOOSE to do the right thing and put a mask on! Protect yourselves and your patients - you will save a life.
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.
Time to make it official! I want to turn #GNOME OS, GNOME's home-grown distro for testing and development of the GNOME Desktop, into a real production-ready general purpose OS. I finally blogged about it: blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/202β¦
