The company said it would stick to its “longstanding practice” of showing the local official name for a geographical areas when when "official names vary between countries."
Heute ist mir das erste Mal ein EC-Bezahl-Terminal mit Touchdisplay ohne physikalische Tasten entgegengekommen. Auf meinen Hinweis, dass meine erblindete Schwester damit nicht klarkäme, relativierte die Apothekerin, es gäbe ja gar nicht so viele Blinde. Und das Gerät sei neu und müsse erstmal bleiben.
Bitte lieben Menschen die ihr EC-Kartenlesegeräte verwendet, denkt auch an Menschen mit Behinderungen wenn ihr neue Geräte braucht oder bekommt.
Danke
P.S. auf der schicken Glasoberfläche konnte man noch gut die Fingerabdrücke der vorigen Nutzerïn sehen. Ist vielleicht auch nicht so toll. #Inklusion #blindleben
Do nacistického likvidačního tábora Auschwitz přijeli na prahu dospělosti nebo jako děti. Dnes tvoří poslední generaci, která továrnu na smrt ještě pamatuje. Pondělního 80. výročí osvobození tábora se zúčastnilo 56 těchto přeživších. Historici proto už dnes musí řešit, jak uchovat vzpomínku na holokaust živou, až svět opustí poslední z nich.
O svých ztrátách, zažitých hrůzách i obavách z nových krizí ve světě v areálu německého vyhlazovacího tábora Auschwitz mluví nejmladší generace pamětníků.

As an excellent programmer once noted: constraints induce creativity and focused design. Delta Chat has been running against classic e-mail provider constraints for years and had to evolve its code to work against these constraints (rate limits, spam filters, signups, delays etc) and thus we were uniquely positioned to create a minimal #chatmail server template that beats Gmail, Outlook, iCloud etc regarding security, performance and efficiency. It's a similar story with #deepseek if you will.
⏰ Only a week remaining with early-bird pricing for my annual three-day deep dive into #pytest with #Python Academy! 📅 March 4th — 6th 🌍 Leipzig (Germany) or remote 📕 Three days of pytest knowledge from one of its core maintainers. Fixtures, mocking, plugins, …

There is one feature of #LocusMap that I really like: you can take a picture of a map, calibrate it with the standard map and then have it as an overlay.
Very handy when you take the kids to the zoo or amusement park. 👌

It's fantastic that after #Pebble was bought and terminated, the community managed to continue to run alternative backend services to keep it alive. And now the community got the watch OS open sourced by Google. 👍 I used to have the first Kickstarter version, but it's long dead now. But thanks to the community-built app store, my apps are still ready to be downloaded. I am curious how many Pebble devices are still alive. apps.rebble.io/en_US/applicati…
@fredbrooker Jo, oni asi vědí. Nějací asi budou.Všiml jsem si například, že Steve Mould (Edu Youtuber) nosí Pebble 2. Já přesedlal na Garmin a je to pro mně vlastně důstojná náhrada. Alespoň 7 dní výdrže je pro mě must have. A svůj watchface jsem si na ně z Pebble hodinek naportoval apps.garmin.com/cs-CZ/apps/630…
I just want to say how much I enjoy the hell out of my Ableton Move. I got one on day one. Currently, I'm in a position wherein I don't have access to 99.9% of my musical instruments and related gear. I have very little space to work with. This situation is unlikely to change in the near term.
Meanwhile, my hearing continues to deteriorate, and I feel like I am running out of time before I can't do anything musically, so, despite stupid conditions, I need to take advantage of things while I still can.
What's so amazing about the Move, though? Lots of folks see it and say "ah, it's another groovebox with lots of limitations." Or, for those in the no, they might say something like "Wait, isn't that just a slightly more limited hardware version of Ableton Note for iOS?" Well, yes, it is all of those things, but what truly sets the Move apart is it's (currently undocumented) screen reader. Yes, that's right, it's a nearly completely accessible groovebox that, when combined with a modern web browser, speaks almost every button press and turn of it's knobs in real time. No more counting clicks, memorizing menus, all that stuff that we as blind musicians got so used to. It's a real game changer for me as a totally blind musician.
Ableton really went big into accessibility with Ableton Live, Note for iOS, and now the Move. I'm sure this trend will continue with up-coming versions of both hardware and software. I have yet to play with any of their stuff beyond Note and Move, but I fully intend on giving Ableton Live a try at some point, and I'd love to see an accessible Push one day.
The accessibility they have now in Move isn't perfect, but they are aware of the current issues, and it's an absolutely fantastic first release. There are only a few things that don't read. Currently, the biggest hurtle is getting the device connected to your WiFi network so you can point a browser at it without tethering via USB C. The first time I set mine up, I did this with sighted help, but I was able to manage it, very slowly and kind of painfully, by using Envision's short text feature, not even the AI stuff. Hopefully, this will be addressed in future releases. This device runs Linux on a Raspberry PI CM4, and I fully intend on looking to see what they're doing for their network management stuff, and I'd love to help them make this more accessible if they'll let me. I'm not a Linux expert by any means, but I have a few ideas of how this could be implemented, potentially.
Seriously though, inclusive design combined with an already intuitive UI makes for a great experience.
I can say, without any doubt, that I've had the most fun in years making music with this thing, it's four tracks and all kinds of limitations included. It makes you think about things very much outside the box, and I'm absolutely hear for it.
Let's give a big shout-out to inclusive design. Make your products more accessible, and you'll get a whole new user base, increased loyalty, and free advertisement.
Ableton didn't bolt on their accessibility when it came to the Move. It was built with it in mind from the ground up.

Maybe you should try Python, the next generation object-oriented scripting and prototyping language, with a *readable* syntax. Python has been used by hundreds of happy users all over the world during the past three years, and is now ready for prime time.
Jakou aplikaci na Android používáte na podcasty? Migroval jsem ze #Spotify na #Tidal (protože blog.eischmann.cz/2024/05/14/s… a honest-broker.com/p/the-ugly-t… ) a chybí mi tam dvě věci: playlisty na generecká témata (relaxing sauna), ale to si pořeším sám. A pak to, že to neobsahuje podcasty. To mě až tak nevadí. Ale znamená to, že se musím podívat po aplikaci na podcasty. Na GPlay je toho mrtě. Máte nějaká doporučení?
Běž do něčeho, co má podporu pro Gpodder, ať se ti rozposlouchanost synchronizuje mezi zařízeními. Na telefonu mám AntennaPod, na desktopu poslouchám přes RePod v Nextcloudu, případně lze použít desktopový Kasts. Jako Gpodder server mám opět aplikaci v Nextcloudu.
Jinak Tidal má různé relaxační playlisty. I na saunu jsem něco našel, akorát toho asi nebude tolik jako na Spotify.
I didn’t think about this much back then, but ever since I switched to Linux, I’ve been thinking about this more and more. Hope this won’t become an issue for open source, given how pretty much everything depends on it.
Unrelated a little, but it reminded me how a few years ago the IRS had to call up retirement homes to get COBOL programmers to fix some issues that nobody else could.

Always did, because large corporations don't get to be that way without the subtle effects of authoritarianism and money focus that fascist tendencies tend to carry.
It's a mistake to think this is anything new, and the previous government was also displaying *different* tendencies that fascists also tend to display.
Both need resistance.
If there is some exception to this, it's the proverbial one that proves the rule!
Lmao. Capitalism ist the most batshit insane psycho shit ever created. Fuck Google and every living soul who is a part of it, mfers!
