The bill passes the first stage in the Commons but will be followed by months of parliamentary activity before it becomes a law.BBC News
The assisted dying bill debate is just beginning, with Kim Leadbeater kicking it off.
For anyone unfamiliar with Parliamentary debates, free votes on moral issues typically introduced as a Private Member's Bill like this usually lead to very good debates demonstrating Parliament at its best.
It's likely to be a good one to watch: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/…
Ayes to the right, 330, Noes to the left 275. It passed!
Holy shit, something good happened!
In 2015 I spent a couple of weeks in Singapore and I still remember sitting at a café and implementing the feature that merges multiple messages into the same bubble.
Today this feature has been removed from #Conversations_im in favor of moving the bubbles closer together. This gives better control over per messages actions such as sharing, quoting or adding a reaction.

I want to write my own cross-platform and accessible for blind users #Mastodon client.
There are no #a11y friendly clients for Linux (only some TUI software) and there are only one buggy and unstable proprietary client for Windows called #tweesecake.
I already know the stack I'll use but I have one problem.
I don't know Mastodon well enough to be sure that I implement every feature which is supported there.
For sure I can read the whole API reference but maybe there are easier ways, maybe some list of features, maybe some feature guide for developers, etc.
As a blind user I can't just install any popular and cool client and take all features from it... That's the problem: they are not accessible at all or not accessible enough for every day use.
So, maybe someone helps me with some sort of docs or I don't know :D

Can any of my friends in #Canada explain how it's legal for there to be private doctor services now? Here's one example:
There are many different doctors listed here: portal3.clicsante.ca/services/…
I guess our healthcare system is getting privatized without us even knowing?

Ah, I see that BlueSky has joined LinkedIn in supplanting Twitter as the primary source of accessibility misinformation.
(I didn’t make this clear, but this post came across my timeline here and on linkedin and it just shows how this kind of stuff spreads on algorithmic timelines and then bleeds over to other social networks. That’s how you poison a well.)

IMO, HP is one of the most translator-unfriendly books to have ever existed.
There's so much context and so many things that just have to "fit together" that translators almost inevitably have to sacrifice something.

Přátelé, přinášíme vám jeden z nejsilnějších příběhů, které se nám v Brocastu podařilo zaznamenat... Naše pozvání k rozhovoru přijal cestovatel, dobrodruh a ...YouTube
@archos@arch-linux.cz Doba klasických médií, která se řídila pravidly novinařiny, s internetem a nástupem sociálních médií skončila.
Situaci snadného šíření informací i možnosti na tom vydělávat už dávno začala využívat dezinformační média, která přišla s „metodou míchání jablek s hruškama“, kdy se za pomoci rozhovoru se slavným či veřejností uznávaným člověkem snaží konzumenty internetu nalákat k návštěvě jejich odporného média.
Mediálně negramotný konzument, a těch je naprostá většina v populaci, si totiž nezjišťuje to, s kým má tu čest, komu médium patří a k čemu neznámé médium slouží, většinový konzument jde jen za nabídnutým lákavým tématem.
Jsou věci, které je nutné, aby se děcka učila už ve škole, aby se trénovala v kritickém myšlení, aby se naučila odmítat všechny podvodníky internetu, kteří si hrají na novináře, ale ve skutečnosti to jsou prachsprostí nýmandi a podvodníci porušující veškerá pravidla, například platná pro vedení rozhovoru.
Dnešní mladí tvůrci obsahu internetových médií poučení studiem marketingu a možnostmi vydělávat na sledovanosti nezastaví žádná morální záklopka, tyhle už zajímají jen peníze a lajky...
Konec klasické žurnalistiky je začátkem konce demokracie. Proto je nutná regulace takové činnosti:
Nová média jsou také média, a proto pro ně musí platit pravidla stejná jako pro média tištěná a vysílací. Chceš si hrát na žurnalistiku? Pak se musíš řídit pravidly pro žurnalistiku a musíš být za šíření propagandy, manipulací, lží a skryté reklamy a nekalý prodej postižitelný. Nejde o cenzuru, ale o stará dobrá pravidla, jaká platí pro tištěná a vysílací média.
To se ale mladým i starým tvůrcům pochybného mediálního obsahu vydělávajícím na internetu nelíbí a začali křičet, když se RRTV začala o jejich činnost zajímat, neb se ČR již před mnoha lety zavázala dodržovat pravidla Českou republikou odsouhlasená v Parlamentu EU, ČR, která jako vždy od tohoto odsouhlasení pravidel spala jak Šípková Růženka, aby se nyní těsně před uplynutím překlenovací doby probudila a začala zmatkovat.
Úředníci RRTV mají totiž máslo na hlavě, protože nechali v ČR bez jakéhokoli svého zájmu vyrůst generaci namachrovaných egoistických hvězd internetového obsahu s obrovským dosahem, kterým se teď snaží nešťastnou formou sdělit, že se musí ze zákona registrovat a že budou podléhat stejnému dohledu, jaký platí pro šiřitele médií na vyžádání (Media-on-demand).
A tak jsme nyní svědky toho, jak se tito tvůrci internetového audiovizuálního obsahu (často velmi pochybným a s obrovským dosahem a zajímavými finančními příjmy) snaží přesvědčit veřejnost i politiky, že nejsou tvůrci mediálního obsahu... Klasický český kašpárkov plný emocí, polopravd, manipulací a lží.
Šiřitelé dezinformací a konspirací v jednom šiku s tvůrci obsahu pro pražskou kavárnu v boji proti RRTV. Prostě bizár, který vypovídá nejen o mediální gramotnosti zdejší populace, ale též bizár, který ilustruje právní gramotnost tvůrců internetového mediálního obsahu. Emoce místo fakt. A též odpor lidí vydělávajících velké a snadné peníze na internetu platit daň z příjmu.

* A different student in my math class told me he pays $20 per month for the “computational” version of chatGPT, which he uses for all of his classes and PhD research. The computational version is worth it, he says, because it is wrong "less often’. He uses chatGPT for all his homework and can't figure out why he's struggling on exams.
