Čekáme na tchána, který přijede po půlnoci. Žena dohrála na klavír a říká Co teď?
Tak jí odpovídám, že dřív když jsme měli volnou chvíli dali jsme sex.
Právě ji málem praskla plíce, jak vyprskla smíchy.
A já se ptám, je to fér?
Neue Konservierungstechnik für Ötzi
Das Schmelzen der Gletscher legt immer mehr archäologische Funde frei. Die Forschung sucht nach neuen Wegen - vor allem Gletschermumien wie Ötzi - zu konservieren. Von S. Delonge und S. Kirschner.

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Lunes, pero algo más lúcidos por el cambio de horario y el sueño extra. Además, esta semana es corta. Ánimo.
Pero lo que sí es cierto hoy es que en mojácar está cayendo la del pulpo, casi como en Galicia cuando llueve bien, y mañana más de lo mSolo que aquí el suelo no drena tan bien como, por ejemplo, en Santiago.
I had to deal with a freshly unboxed Android phone, and the flipping *clock* app, that was installed by default, came with a privacy policy.
I discovered this because the clock started crying that it couldn't work properly without Google Play Services.
I don't care what the privacy policy was for. I am tired. A clock app does not be into a position to have any privacy policy more involved than "we collect and report no data".
The clock is now disabled.
I am so tired of this.
Is there any current way to get #NVDASR to honor Aria Live Region Assertive, such that new events interrupt speech?
When using the web-based screen reader mode of the Ableton Move with NVDA, you have to wait for the full text before the next event is spoken. Really annoying when quickly turning knobs and such. This doesn't happen with Voiceover on iOS or Mac OS, though it is slower to initially respond.
document.querySelector("[aria-live]").role = "alert";
Thanks.
is there a list of things this actually does/adds to NVDA? I notice it's not an official addon, so no real documentation.
Just so I know really.
Also, since it does work very well, can I share this to the Ableton Move group?
I'm sure we're not the only people who'd benefit from this.
@FreakyFwoof @chikim Here's what it does:
1. Modifies the API that programs use to make NVDA speak to immediately pump, improving responsiveness similar to NVDA issue #14928. For this use case, this isn't needed, but I figured I'd put it in the same addon to avoid having two of them. I've been running with this change for months and haven't noticed anything breaking.
2. Modifies the function that speaks ARIA live regions. If it gets a politeness level of assertive, it cancels speech before speaking. I also added the immediate pumping while I was there.
I can take 1 out without breaking anything. Pumping immediately in my (mostly unscientific) tests with my old gesture timing addon brings the time from pressing a key in Chrome to the response of a live region down from ~30 MS to ~12. I can also revert that.
I'm fine with it being shared.

#Reading the classic #novel Lanark. So far I'm just at the beginning, but this amused me a lot:
Lanark did not wish to be an artist but he felt increasingly the need to do some kind of work, and a writer needed only pen and paper to begin. Also he knew something about writing, for when wandering the city he had visited public libraries and read enough stories to know there were two kinds. One kind was a sort of written cinema, with plenty of action and hardly any thought. The other kind was about clever unhappy people, often authors themselves, who thought a lot but didn’t do very much. Lanark supposed a good author was more likely to write the second kind of book.

Great news, everybody: the Librarian of Congress has stepped in to allow ice cream machines to be repaired.
I fucking hate it here. Even the “good” news demonstrates how terribly technocapitalism has fucked us up.

Absolutely horrifying story found via today's Boonta Vista podcast, but my total 100% honest reaction is:

Kentucky man wakes up before organ donation, sparks investigation

Jeff Bezos has caved in to fascism by forbidding his Washington Post editorial staff from endorsing Kamala Harris in a likely quid pro quo with Mango Mussolini.
Jeff Bezos engaged in illegal union-busting tactics, spending over $14 million in 2022 alone to undercut his employees' rights.
Jeff Bezos spent $500 million to build his personal floating mansion Koru, the tallest sailing yacht in the world that is so big, it has its own 250-foot support yacht.
Jeff Bezos, executive chairman of Amazon, extorts 50% of revenue from sellers on the monopolistic retail website Amazon.com.
Jeff Bezos this year bought his *fourth* private jet for $80 million, a Gulfstream G700 luxury business jet that travels near the speed of sound. Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what the average American emits in a year.
Jeff Bezos, as reported by ProPublica, filed a tax return in 2011 showing he lost money and received a $4,000 child tax credit from the US government during a year in which his wealth held steady at $18 billion.
I can go on and on, but how many reasons do you need to boycott anything he touches?
Cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel your Amazon Prime membership. Boycott Amazon.
You have alternatives. Don't feed the beast.

Folks, there really is something sliding backwards in #Accessibility but I can't quite pinpoint it, but it's showing itself every time I invoice a client but I spent that whole time convincing the small business that, well, actually, accessible design is good. Toolbars won't fix accessibility. Your computer can make text bigger. Your monitor can brighten and lower brightness. your computer has a Magnifier in it.
I'm not joking. Back in 2006, you had to use those advanced accessibility talks, but not anymore! Now I get paid to tell people that there are themes in Wordpress that make stuff more accessible without toolbars and yes you can increase your mouse size.
Seriously, what's going on? I mean, I'll have income for a hell of a long time without really doing anything super taxing these days but wow! #WebDev

I would like to see us get *well* past “accessibility is good, actually”-level talks about accessibility.
With the title of this talk, I was hoping for a case study on an open source project that put effort into having accessible tools & processes and how that made it possible for disabled devs to participate…because I think often it’s assumed that sure, disabled people can be users, but they wouldn’t be devs.
The moral meltdown at the LA Times and Washington Post is a reminder that independent journalism is needed more than ever. It's also a reminder that being an independent journalist is HARD work, with challenges the "professionals" rarely see or grasp.

Lots of people can't use FB cos of the real name policy or it making you visible to stalkers/harassers or similar.
I have an FB but I hardly ever use it, if an event only organises via FB I won't be going. It's a social justice issue to put event info somewhere properly publicly accessible that doesn't track users.
