I suppose if there is one positive thing about the current environment here, it is that people in the media and in political life who think being blind automatically makes you ignorant and incompetent feel emboldened to be more upfront about it. That allows us to tackle it head-on.
For years, in various capacities, I have campaigned against the use of the word "blind" to equate with these things, because it subconsciously reenforces stereotypes about blind people.
It is very difficult for a blind person to find employment, sometimes because of lack of training, and often because, despite training, we are deprived of opportunity due to common misconceptions. It is a struggle to find people who believe in us, and the need for public education is ongoing and real.
In the US, the Federal Government has in recent years been a place where qualified, competent people who happen to be blind can thrive and be recognized for the talented people they are.
So it is deeply disappointing that a capable public servant who is blind is being ridiculed and discredited not for anything he said, not for being bad at his job, because he clearly is not, but merely because his blindness is being used as a weapon and a tool of derision. This release from the National Federation of the Blind is so important. Blind people cannot allow this sort of discourse to go unchallenged.

In den vergangenen Tagen gab es Messerangriffe in Bremen, Lübeck, Ratingen, Erfurt, mehrere in Dortmund und in Berlin. Teilweise mit Toten, mit Schusswechsel mit der Polizeiwillkürliche Opfer. Von keinem hast du wahrscheinlich gehört. In die Trends kommen nur die Einzelfälle mit Schutzsuchenden. Rate mal, warum. volksverpetzer.de/analyse/mani…

So manipuliert man dich über Messerangriffe - Volksverpetzer

Another almost shocking experience with an onboard electrical outlet. ⚡

Apparently many people travel with chargers manufactured so poorly that the pins hold stronger in the outlet than in the charger itself.

I don't have any insulated tools with me, nor have I seen any staff to report this to, so this will probably stay like this for a while in the ABv6 part of #NS #VIRM 8640.

A picture of a Schuko electrical outlet, apparently on a train. The left hole has a conductive pin stuck inside.

@anymouse_404 @ozzelot podle mě to může být klasické IT, jako třeba v nemocnicích: zemnící kontakty jsou spojené se zemí, v tomto případě s kostrou vozidla. Zdroj kontroluje izolační stav mezi pracovními vodiči a zemí a při poklesu impedance vyhlásí poruchu, ale funguje dál, až do druhé závady.

Ovšem teď jak to píšu, tak mi to připadá trošku překombinované na něco, co není operační sál, ale jen zásuvka ve vlaku 😉

V drevnich dobach iOS vyvoje s UIKitem zabiralo 90% casu debugovani ruznych vizualnich glitchu. Clovek si hledal hodiny a hodiny na SO, aby pak nekde napsal

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ...)

a vse fungovalo.

Dnes je to jednodussi. Vidite UI glitch. Zaplatite $200. Deep research 5 minut crawluje StackOverflow, fora, Swift blogy aby pak vyplivnul... a vse funguje 🤷

Zlaty vyvoj pro web.

#ios #swift #it

DispatchQueue.main.async { showDrawer = true } This schedules the presentation to the next Ul cycle, by which time the body may have calculated the size. This isn't guaranteed to solve all cases, but it can reduce the chance that the sheet shows before the size is propagated.

Ah well, hiding near an island is not good if you're a submarine anyway.
Gosh I haven't played this properly in decades. Had a brief revisit when I relicensed the new computer but before that it was on my Windows 95 machine.

Tak, lidičky, protože se to blíží, tak se chci zeptat i vás, jestli se chcete někde v Praze potkat. Budu tam od 17. -24.3., ale z důvodu právě, cestování a tak spousty z vás bych to viděl na pátek nebo sobotu (21. nebo 22.).
Místo bych zatím nechal otevřené, jediné co vím je, že to nebude čistě vegetariánská restaurace :) a řešil bych podle zájmu.
Takže aktuálně otázka je ANO/NE?
Pokud se shodneme že jo, udělal bych na srazy nějakou anketu.

I'm giving up on the idea of running my reading updates on the web.
So for now if you care to get regular updates on my reading, feel free to subscribe at buttondown.com/SeansShelf
If it works for the majority, we'll keep it. if people want a different system, we'll talk about it.
Updates come weekly on a Wednesday.

@Friendica Support @Tuxi ⁂ So oft ich auch die Namen meiner Feeds personalisiere (meinrss@anonsys.net) personalisiere, sie werden immer wieder ohne mein Zutun vom System geändert.
In diesem Bespielfall ist der personaliserte Name Neues Deutschland, wird aber immer wieder in nd geändert. In anderen Feeds läuft es ähnlich ab.
Gibt es dafür eine Erklärung?

Ja, es ist ein anderes Konzept: FreshRRS ist /auch/ ein Reader, zuerst aber ein Aggregator, der die Feeds sammelt und dann den Clients zur Verfügung stellt.
Ich verwende vier Reader (3 Computer, ein Telefon) gleichzeitig, und alle bedienen sich bei meinem FreshRSS. Es ist wie ein Mailserver, der ganz unterschiedliche Clients mit denselben Mails versorgt, und alle Clients sehen, was schon gelesen wurde, in einen Ordner verschoben etc.
Solange Du nur einen einzigen RSS-Reader verwendest, bringt das natürlich nichts.

“Evaluating overlay-adjacent accessibility products”
ericwbailey.website/published/…

The very fact that a digital accessibility accommodation is a product is a sign that you might not be the customer and, even if you are, only for as long as there’s money to be made.

Evaluating overlay-adjacent accessibility products

The rubric I use to evaluate these products remains very similar to how I scrutinize overlays.

"An administration effectively fronted by Elon Musk – a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” – is so touchy about the language that we use that scientists are now self-censoring. It’s so prescriptive about what things are called that it’s blocking journalists from events for continuing to refer to the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Gulf of America." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Saying ‘women’ is not allowed, but ‘men’ and ‘white’ are OK? I’m (not) shocked

Thanks to Donald Trump’s sweeping executive orders attacking a number of terms, ‘women’ is literally being erased

Now I wonder where HTTP2, and eventually HTTP3, falls in the tradeoff between minimizing bloat and keeping essential features. For example, for a program that only needs to make a few HTTP requests, or just one, would it be OK to disable HTTP2 support? Disabling HTTP2 in the reqwest crate saves about 200 KB of x64 machine code in a size-optimized release build.

But by doing this, would I be preventing an eventual phase-out of HTTP 1.1 that some might want to do?
