“El president de la Generalitat dijo a las 13.00 horas en un vídeo que la Dana se debilitaba a las 18.00 y se iba a Cuenca, cuando los expertos y los meteorólogos de todas las televisiones insitían en lo contrario. Se congratuló públicamente de que no hubiera “alerta hidrológica” poco después de que su propio departamento de Emergències la hiciera pública.”

reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.
The name later became a slur because the bosses won, and used propaganda to hide the history, and because smashing looms is a dramatic symbol, and humans like retelling dramatic stories, not depressing facts.

Krásné dobré ráno občané mastodonu! 🐕🙋♀️🐈 Všichni jsme se dočkali! Je to tu! Zasloužený pátek! Dneska konečně odfrčí všechno vánoční zboží do obchodů. Už se u nás na základně nedalo pohybovat. A od pondělí začneme vyjíždět a dělat výlohy a měnit zboží. Vánoce se blíží milánkové! Mějte sváteční náladu. 😊👋 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno

With five days left until Election Day, the candidates are making a last-minute pitch to Latino voters in Arizona and Nevada — talking about border security, one of the biggest issues for the campaign.
Yesterday, my students presented our work at the ACM ASSETS conference. "Not Only Annpying. But Dangerous": Devising an Ecology of Protections for Photosensitive Social Media Users" dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/366…
In this study, we investigate prior work, conduct survey inquiries, and use co-design methods to explore how social media design choices influence exposure to dangerous flashing content which can trigger seizures, migraines, nausea, and disorientation for photosensitive users.
Through our analysis, we identify the current ecosystem of flashing content on the Internet, and propose a more robust ecology of protections, including on-device graphics filters that directly edit pixels buffers to prevent flashing before it occurs.
First, existing WCAG guidelines against auto-play of media need to be enforced. Second, users should have device level control over animation that may trigger flashing, and this control shpuld not be able to be reset by platforms that try to enforce autoplay to support their own ad revenue. Third, other users need to be aware of what makes content dangerous, so thay they may stop circulating it and causing accidental exposure. Fourth, creators need to know what makes content dangerous, and how they can test for danger, to prevent them from creating dangerous media in the first place. This includes corporate creators, like movie studios, whose ads for acrion movies have been a recent source of autoplaying strobing content in movie trailors posted via ad platforms. Fifth, platforms, including GIF libraries, but also all social platforms, need to implement reporting mechanisms specifically for flashing content which can remove that content from circulation. Sixth, there should be actual penalties for platforms and creators that do not react to, correct, and remove dangerous content, or who force auto-play on users.
And seventh, device manufacturers and operating system developers need to create on-device filters that eliminate flashing through simple real time post-processing. Machine Learning classification and prediction algorithms ARE NOT NECESSARY. We can do this with simple math. Yes it may sometimes look weird. But also people won't be dying in their sleep.
This work is very important to me, and I've been working on it (on the side) since 2017. I wasn't allowed to pursue it fully as a graduate student. As faculty, I still had to string the project together on wishes. And I'm still looking for a collaborator to work on the implementation, though if industry would just get their shit together and do it themselves, that'd be great.

Ever find it hard to keep track of links, buttons, and form fields on a cluttered webpage? NVDA’s Screen Layout feature helps! When enabled, items like links and buttons stay in their visual flow, appearing on the same line. When disabled, NVDA separates each link and control onto its own line, making navigation smoother for some users. Toggle Screen Layout on and off with NVDA+V to customize your browsing experience! #NVDA #Accessibility #ScreenReader #TechTips

Das stimmt, aber die Seite ist für deutsche Nutzer völlig uninteressant, weil es nicht viel mehr Auswahl gibt. Zudem sind einfache Anwender zumeist mitGithub meist total überfordert, weshalb ich diese Seite nicht verlinkt habe.

During Canadian Federal Elections, poll workers have been known to direct husbands and wives to booths at opposing ends of the room, so as ensure spouses are not ‘monitored’ by each other. I have worked one once and was told by the husband “I just want to make sure she doesn’t make a mistake.” I told him that she was probably old enough to manage in her own to make an ‘X.’ She looked down as she smiled. He wandered off grumbling. I didn’t care how he reacted. mstdn.social/@DemocracyMatters…
Why are so many women hiding their voting plans from their husbands?
A lot of households are not democracies; they’re dictatorships. This may mean voter intimidation and suppression.
