#Gaza #Palestine

Wikipedia has officially added “Gaza genocide” to its “List of Genocides” page, marking a major shift in how Israel’s aggression on the besieged enclave is being documented on the world’s largest online encyclopaedia.

In a related move, the platform’s editors recently voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the subject, adding it to their list of banned and partially banned sources.

Updates to Canada’s Copyright Act bring consumers closer to the ‘right to repair’ your devices

Two new bills will amend the Copyright Act to protect consumers’ right to repair their possessions. But more work is needed, including ensuring that manufacturers make their devices repairable.

#SwiftUI #a11y Techniques app updated with new Horizontal Scroll Views good/bad example that applies WCAG's Reflow success criterion to avoid horizontal scrolling at 320 or less screen width and adds right and left arrow buttons as single tap alternatives. apps.apple.com/app/accessibili…
Good example on iPhone 16 with display zoom enabled has 320 screen width and no horizontal scrolling and presents the buttons in a vertical stack instead. The good example on the iPhone 16 Plus with display zoom has a screen size of 375 width and horizontal scrolling is present with horizontally stacked buttons but there is also right and left arrow buttons to scroll using single taps rather than gestures.

Elon Musk deployed his vast resources to help Trump get elected, and now he’s poised to remake the US government to serve his interests.

But that was only possible because far too many people chose to ignore who he was to tell a more appealing story of a founder moving humanity forward. They should be held accountable.

Now I’m grieving. Soon(ish) it’s back to the work of #accessibility and inclusion.

Here’s what I wrote the day after the U.S. election: lflegal.com/2024/11/harris-def….


Today We Grieve

So many swirling emotions today. November 6, 2024. The day after the United States elected its first felon, a man who is transparent and loud in his cruelty, racism, and disdain for women and their bodies.

The Mac mini Pro case fits perfectly without modifications!

I’ve updated the listing to reflect that “Beta 2” is verified and safe to print.

I will soon be making tweaks to the power button and front port centering. Enjoy all!

There are still companies out there making Sound Canvas MIDIs of popular songs, most often for Karaoke machines that use Roland MIDI boards. Some of these MIDIs are surprisingly good, taking advantage of many of the Sound Canvas's capabilities. Here's an SC-88 version of Alan Walker's "Faded." Rendered with Sound Canvas VA, since I currently can't get this to play properly on my ST Pro, probably a MIDI interface issue. Arranger unknown.

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

Check out @Liberapay or @opencollective

A social media post image with the headline: Are you paying monthly for some of these? Followed by the logos of Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify and Discord. Then, another headline: Consider donating to some of these: Followed by the logos of: Debian, XFCE, KDE, GNOME, postmarketOS, Inkscape, Pixelfed, Mastodon, F-Droid, GIMP, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Liberapay, Matrix, Syncthing and PeerTube. There is also a remark at the bottom of the image: Disagree with my selection of projects? Make your own version of this graphic by editing the original from https://furbasik.de/consider-donating.svg

Apple added a feature called "inactivity reboot" in iOS 18.1. This is implemented in keybagd and the AppleSEPKeyStore kernel extension. It seems to have nothing to do with phone/wireless network state. Keystore is used when unlocking the device. So if you don't unlock your iPhone for a while... it will reboot!

'Hawking radiation' may be erasing black holes. Watching it happen could reveal new physics.

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests.
