Justizministerkonferenz: Ermittler sollen Zweitschlüssel bekommen, um Autos einfacher verwanzen zu können

Strafverfolgungsbehörden haben angeblich Schwierigkeiten, unbemerkt in Autos von Verdächtigen zu gelangen. Die Justizministerin von Baden-Württemberg fordert deswegen, dass Autohersteller einen Zweitschlüssel herausgeben müssen.

#flohmarkt needs an #accessibility review to leave beta phase.

Is there someone in the #fediverse who can help on #a11y?

Boosts :BoostOK: highly appreciated!

Accessiblity overhaul

Okay, this is a big one and ongoing effort. So definitely not doable in a single PR. Let's find accessiblity issues on flohmarkt: * not keyboard navigateable * not properly labeled for screenreaders * mediocre color contrast * more?

Můžeme si hrát na ekology a stavět rodinný domky s dokonale vzduchotěsnou obálkou, obalený 20 cm izolace, s tepelným čerpadlem a solárníma panelama, ale stejnak vždycky nejlíp vyjde bytovka.

Navrhuju, aby se tepelný ztráty přepočítávaly na počet obyvatel, protože by to zmírnilo požadavky na zateplení bytovek. Krom toho, že by to výstavu zlevnilo, otevřelo by se víc možností jak fasády řešit esteticky. Teď většinou končíme u polystyrenu/vaty přetažený omítkou a konstrukcí obludně obalenejch.

Hey all. I'm aware there's a million of these converters out there, but I had started this project a bit ago and decided to release it; take it or leave it. It's a minimalistic, simple audio and video converter that uses ffmpeg on the backend. Even absolute newbies to computers can use this UI. Originally for personal use, so it could be better named I know. github.com/Orinks/Media-Conver…

@Orinks This is a great idea. I was dreaming of fully accessible converter like this all the time.
Feature I'm missing within other multimedia converters is ability to setup streams to include or exclude e.g. when extracting audio track from video file Handling files with multiple audio tracks such as the main audio and audio description track.
I have to check this out.

Hledal jsem, na co koukat na Maxu, když mi dali tu slevu a když už mám všechno dobré dokoukané. Nakonec jsem s přemáháním pustil seriál Rome (2005).

To zas bude znásilňování dějin, říkal jsem si. Po stránce historicity jsem ale nejpozitivněji překvapen: hlavní linie příběhu +/- sedí, herci odpovídají věku postav, dvě hlavní postavy (dva muži z lidu – vojáci) mají alespoň jména odpovídající reálným postavám. Dokonce jsem se i něco doučil (Brutova matka Servilia byla Caesarovou milenkou; Caesar nebyl prcek jako Napoleon, Stalin nebo Goebbles, ale byl opravdu vyšší postavy než tehdejší průměr) a mnohé připomněl (sebevražda Catona Mladšího a Metella Scipiona).

Ocenil jsem satirické prvky (Caesar nebyl biologickým otcem syna, kterého měl s Kleopatrou VII 😁).

Neocenil jsem rétorické výkony senátorů, které jsou redukovány na jednu dvě vzletné věty. Jako chápu, že by na to nikdo nevydržel koukat, ale nechat toho Cicerona mluvit aspoň 5 až 10 minut teda mohli. 😀

Seeing as how I'm in 60s #DoctorWho in my #DoctorWhoRewatch (currently struggling to understand what's going on in the remaining #TheDaleksMasterplan eps), I thought my #DoctorWhoDay should see me rewatch Josh Snares' missing episodes series. I heartedly recommend.

By the way, the Perseverance Mars rover from NASA has it's 1337th day (sol) on the planet today!

I found out about this by browsing the raw images from its cameras, which all can be found here: mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multime…

Came across this elsewhere, and it seems a good reminder of how the Civil Rights fight was actually won.

Successfully fighting for civil rights requires multiple parallel strategies, *and those "lanes" can't overlap*. Someone who's protecting people, for instance, needs to be squeaky clean, legally, so the baddies don't have a pretext to come after them and the people they're protecting--which means they can't be showing up to disruptive protests in person.

The four lanes of an effective civil rights struggle: Protecting people, Disrupt and disobey, Defend civic institutions, and Build alternatives.

New data from the Highway Transportation and Safety Administration shows that people are twice as likely to die in fatal accidents involving Teslas than any other car brand (5.6 deaths per billion miles driven versus the average of 2.8 deaths per billion miles driven).

This debunks the idea that Tesla’s technology features make their cars safer. They are actually the unsafest cars on road.

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts about American cellular carriers in response to my question. From those initial answers, I was able to do some additional research. I have always enjoyed getting into the weeds with all things phone-related, so this has been fun.
I thought I would pay it forward by posting here about my conclusions in case there are others interested, and of course others may have experiences to share.
I am going to start with US Mobile, and see how it goes. There are two reasons for my choice. First, US Mobile is an MVNO, (mobile virtual network operator). Earlier this year, they became known as a "super carrier", and have access to all three major US networks, AT&T which they call dark Star, T-Mobile which they call Light Speed, and Verizon Wireless which they call Warp. This is a bit confusing if you sign up without knowing the nicknames, but I imagine that they're prohibited from using the actual network names for branding/trademark reasons.
When you are a US Mobile customer, you can switch between the three carriers. There will be some limitations around the switch depending on your plan, and I'll come back to those. This is attractive for me as someone who likes to geek out on these things, because I can switch from time to time to conduct testing, without the need to keep porting my number. There are also practical benefits. If you're going somewhere a little off the beaten path, and you know that, for example, Verizon gives better service, you can switch.
One thing to note though is that if you have an Apple Watch and want cellular service for it, you're going to be locked into Verizon because that's the only network where US Cellular can provide Apple Watch Cellular support. But they can do it via an individual number for your Watch or a companion plan for your existing smartphone number.
Switching carriers is not as simple as choosing the network in the user interface of your phone. You have to use the US Mobile website for this task and it can take a few minutes before the switch is actioned.
My second reason for starting with US Mobile is the customer service. It gets praised highly, and in my experience, justifiably so. I sent them a couple of emails last night and they replied with meaningful responses within minutes. They are also on Reddit, with an active subreddit with multiple staff responding to inquiries. They have no physical stores, and that suits me just fine. I would far rather deal with good support at home than go into a noisy store.
I am not particularly driven by price, but the plans are attractive. They have some very good plans for those on a budget, for just a few dollars per month. Their Unlimited Starter plan is just $25 if you pay by the month. This gives you 35GB of full speed data before they slow you down. If you want to crank it up further, Unlimited Premium gives you 100GB of full-speed data before slowing you down, for $44 per month.
If you're in a position to pay for a full year, it gets even more attractive. The 100GB plan averages out at $32 per month, which is pretty sweet. The Unlimited Starter only gives you two network transfers, not just per cycle, but forever. After that, they'll charge you $2 every time you do a network transfer, and there is a limit per month. Unlimited Premium give you unlimited network transfers. Unlimited Starter limits you to 10GB of hotspot data, it's 50GB on Unlimited Premium. Both come with an Apple Watch plan as part of the plan.
There are roaming and international calling options as well.
They offer WiFi calling, which means you can call anywhere in the world as if you were at home as long as you are connected to WiFi, but you do have to be in the US to activate WiFi calling, so if you are about to travel, be sure you've switched it on before you leave. This is great though, because I arrive in the US on Friday but will be home for Christmas, by which time I can use my US number as if I were still there.
I haven't found anything I want to do with the iOS app that I can't, but it's not a super accessible experience. Many controls aren't described as actionable, so you have to guess from the context where you should double-tap to activate. On a couple of occasions, I did have to resort to enabling screen recognition. Nevertheless, I was able to sign up online, set up two factor authentication, and install the eSIM all from within the app.
Of course the real test will be when I am in the US later in the coming week, but it's been a very good experience so far.
