Note to USA folks, ❗trans folks especially❗.

A passport is:
- Fundamentally useful
- A federal ID
- Recognized in most state/local level contexts
- *You can change your gender marker on it through pure self ID, with nothing medical required*. "X" is an option. travel.state.gov/content/trave…
- Normally 4-6 weeks to process (faster if u pay extra); that means if you apply for one this week, you easily get it before Jan 20.
- Lasts 10 years

Perhaps apply for one (or renew it, to reset yr 10 years) soon.

Don’t expect Chrome to support keyboard-operable scrolling regions until (maybe) version 132 (anchor link):

Only 14 versions past its target release!

Keyboard-Only Scrolling Areas

I have spent a few years banging on about ensuring scrolling areas on a page are accessible to keyboard-only users.

I'll summarize the story for you so you don't have to waste any precious moments of your life reading it: Privileged American couple move to France and find out that France has its own culture **AND LANGUAGE** that they refuse and/or are incapable of learning so they hate it.

This was on the landing page of CNN, just under the election dross. This story of intolerance and incompetence was deemed important enough to be on the landing page. Marked as "featured".

Oh my, this reads so incredibly absurd: in France they have bureaucracy, we do too but it's different because we know it, also no frozen yoghurt.

What the hell.

Imagine, when you move into a different country they speak a different language and do things in different ways.

I'm sure moving is not for everyone and people will miss things, but it sounds like they just wanted to have the same experience, at which point why bother moving.

En este artículo, Mozilla explica cómo han implementado su IA de Firefox para generar textos alt de las imágenes de forma local y con un modelo open source. Explica cómo han intentado atajar los prejuicios en las descripciones.

En este tipo de cosas me parece que Mozilla va bien encaminada aunque en otros temas como la publicidad da bastante asco.

Firefox 130 introduces automatic alt text generation model for PDF images and an improved alt text flow, improving privacy and accessibility.

Vyzera to tak, ze p. Sutaj aj Estok odbavil kritiku PS klasickym "ad hominem".

Nuz, co asi tak mozno cakat od cloveka, ktory ma najvacsiu prax ako "falosny diskuter" na internetovych forach a soc. sietach.

(A ako som uz pisal nedavno ale aj davnejsie: k lepsim zajtrajskom sa nedopracujeme ani klamstvami ani podvodmi.)

Apropos of nothing at all, did you know that it is relatively easy for Americans to move to the Netherlands under the DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty)? Check out my immigration lawyer's website:

This last issue is because Android Studio— necessary for Android development— is not a Google product. Rather it's "JetBrains"' IDE for "JetBrain's" version of Oracle's programming language. Injected into this like a kind of parasite are two separate programs that make Android work; one of the two, AGP, is developed by Google, and the other, Gradle, seems to be developed by the community. Gradle and AGP are at eternal war with each other. AGP doesn't know how weird their name sounds to me

the android toolchain is something alright.

I love (/s) constantly having to ask google to fix nondeterministic output produced by their toolchain (or building workarounds in cases that's possible) to make reproducible builds for android work.

half the time it's bugs deep in some compiler code I have no idea how to even find, the other half is me having to explain to them what their own code is doing so they can apply my proposed fix.
