Dear geek/libre comrades, I have a queer-stion for you: Do we know if the first communities -in the 80's and 90's- around the development of critical computing (?) and its evolution towards free software were related to the homosexual liberation movement and the fight against AIDS? Thanks
201.6 million years ago, one of the Earth's five great mass extinctions took place, when three-quarters of all living species suddenly disappeared. The wipeout coincided with massive volcanic...
In seinem 1927 (!) erschienenen Buch beklagt sich Kurt Floericke, wie furchtbar die Tierwelt in den letzten 40 Jahren "verarmt und verödet" ist. Die Schuld dafür weist er hauptsächlich dem "Siegeszug von Industrie und Technik" zu.
Surprise…
Das eBook dazu kommt die Tage mit der nächsten Runde bei ebooks.qumran.org/ an. Der Titel: "Aussterbende Tiere"…
Bei so viel Interesse (Likes & Boosts) möchte ich Euch natürlich nicht zu lange auf die Folter spannen – das genannte #eBook steht jetzt bereit, wurde gerade mit 23 weiteren bei ebooks.qumran.org/ hochgeladen.

"A source close to the file said the bidding consortia warned Ottawa that ridership would be lower with a high-frequency train than with a high-speed one, since customers are looking for the shortest possible trip."
So they paid somebody to tell them that? Maybe I should become Govt Consultant and make the big bucks here. I could have told them.
Le gouvernement Trudeau annoncera dans les prochaines semaines un projet de train à grande vitesse (TGV) pour relier Québec et Toronto, a appris Radio-Canada.
@wagtail is the best CMS in terms of features and accessibility. I can't recommend it highly enough! It’s a powerful CMS that boasts impressive features, used by organizations like Google and NASA. Plus, the community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Accessibility is a top priority for Wagtail. With clear accessibility goals, dedicated accessibility team and a built-in accessibility checker, Wagtail is designed to make content accessible at scale. wagtail.org/accessibility/
Can you believe that a GitHub issue I opened six years ago in the depths of “the long dark tea-time of the soul” has had such a cascading impact? It has ultimately led to the formation of a dedicated accessibility team for @django This is a moment that truly highlights the power of open source and everything it represents. I'm so grateful for this community 💙 @thibaudcolas fosstodon.org/@thibaudcolas/11…
For me personally – this was a definite inflection point in my career, as I started investing way more into accessibility expertise. For Wagtail, we followed this with a project for a large govt agency to do even more testing and improvements of the CMS admin. Then got our accessibility team started. Then the accessibility team for @django. An #ATAG audit for Wagtail. Yearly reporting on our accessibility. There’s a long way to go but the journey’s been great already 🌈
After 6 years – we finally got to close our longest-running #accessibility ticket in Wagtail, github.com/wagtail/wagtail/iss…. Thank you @mush42 for reporting this initially. We benefitted immensely from your accessibility expertise and first-hand experience with a screen reader ❤️
This was the ticket I created our "accessibility" ticket triage label for. 38 of those still opened, 165 closed. Kick-ass!
Hello everyone, After reading the docs, I've decided to use Wagtail on one of my personal projects. Since I'm blind, I've discovered that my experience on editing content would be rather unpleasant...
That is amazing, Musharraf! The accessibility teams cannot do good work without the input of disabled users. You being a programmer is even better because you know how code works.
We sadly have a long way to go in Django core as well, but I hope you can enjoy our platforms for a long time, and that your experience improves.
Whether you choose to operate entirely on AWS or in multicloud and hybrid environments, one of the primary reasons to adopt AWS is the broad choice of services we offer, enabling you to explore, build, deploy, and monitor your workloads.
Writing Tools tries to shame you if you use it on profanity — it pops up a modal dialog if your source material has swear words —, but then it goes and works anyway?
I mean, seriously. Who OK'd the kind of user experience that will yell at you, every time, for no reason if it even slightly disapproves of your language. What kind of bubble are you living in?
Let's face it. Switching screen readers can feel like picking a new pair of shoes. We know our trusty old shoes, or TalkBacks in our case, have gotten us

Happens here in Canada w/ Post Merdia [not a typo, they're quite literally shit], as almost all of Canadian media have decided that the leader of the official opposition is justified in not obtaining a security clearance and that the LPC needs a new leader.
MSM DRIVES THE NARRATIVE.
Pollsters asking, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much I hate Trudeau? [I don't]
None ask about how concerned Canadians are about PP NOT having a security clearance.
Despite having a Harris endorsement ready to go, The Washington Post, AKA Jeff Bezos, is refusing to endorse a candidate... hedging their bets... scared to piss off the orange shit stain.
Apple has today released macOS Sequoia 15.1, bringing the first set of Apple Intelligence features to Macs with Apple Silicon outside of Mainland China and the European Union.
Finally got the chance to dig more into this story ”Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said”
What’s confusing is that it mixes anecdotal evidence with studies, on diff versions of Whisper, wrapped in a range of different software, using a variety of audio types. Audio quality, length, number of voices, speech patterns all matter a lot. And the longer the recording the more likely it is to have errors
