Sometimes we come across a wild idea that really tries to re-imagine things, and re-conceiving wearable computing as a distributed system of “fiber computers” embedded into textiles is …
Observation 4 - Priority road signs do not apply to cyclists
Sensitive content
and also my experience is, when I see someone break a traffic rule, it's usually several rules in a row: on my ride to work it's often this set: 1) ignore NoMotorizedVehicles sign from observation 3 2) not giving precedence from observation 4 3) then I meet the car parked on a pedestrian crosssing infront of a school.
The Bloc Québécois and Conservative Party have both said they will participate. The NDP confirmed Monday it will also join, but the party added that it believes the pay-to-debate model sets a bad precedent.
I cannot stress this enough - so many of the people in the Trump WH, including Trump himself would NEVER pass even the most rudimentary background checks. They have access to intel only because the Senate Republicans confirmed their incompetencies. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

“Here is a list of WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria that I think cannot be completely tested with automated tools. These criteria require manual testing because they involve meaning, usability, intent, or user experience that automated tools cannot fully evaluate.” html5accessibility.com/stuff/2…

MY LATEST: I sat down with Microsoft's Jessica Rafuse, who leads accessibility partnerships and policy at the company, to talk about this year's just-completed Ability Summit and much more in a new interview.
March has been a big month for Microsoft in the accessibility arena. Besides launching the Xbox Adaptive Joystick , the Redmond-based tech titan last week held its 15th annual Ability Summit .

These file-conversion tools often work as advertised, but ultimately pair the converted file with a program designed to secretly hijack the victim’s computer, the FBI warns.
The original Dear Abby was a badass, esp for her time, she was a champion for queer acceptance in her column and was very big on telling parents to listen and accept their children instead of punishing and fighting with them. But also this response is a banger. Top 10 advice columnist responses of all time.

US officials up to the Vice President discuss the planning and execution of the attacks in Yemen on a Signal group and added a journalist to that group.
#oopsie doesn't even come close to.expressing what I think right now.
So. Uhm. Well. I think if Signal is safe enough for that, you can use it too :)
In 2025, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM) like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and DeepSeek are being used for everything. Writing emails. Generating code. Even applying for jobs.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is quite long, and, honestly, hard to digest. @tink it down and explains in clear terms which digital products and services must meet accessibility requirements and exactly what businesses need to do to comply. Please, if you design, develop, or sell digital products or services in the EU, read this article, it’s still shorter than the actual act, and very well explained!

@helpers Hello, I'm new to fediverse hosting. Recently started a small Friendica instance for me and my friends. System: YunoHost 12.0.12 on VPS bought online App: Friendica 2024.12-1~ynh1 URL: kedralife.cz
I have huge problems with the worker queue, it periodically gets stuck for a very long time, processing nothing for hours or (more often) days (so far the maximum was 11 days) when it just grows a processes nothing. This means that my friends can't send each other private messages, public posts don't federate and any sort of permission-restricted posts get stuck on "pending" for days.
I tried running the worker.php with crontab very 5 minutes in addition to the friendica deamon, but it does not seem to help.
@FifiSch You can scale the worker in admin->page->Worker/Performance settings. You should run the worker manually and see if it throws an error? If this is the case depending on the error message you may enable extensions or increase the memory limit... or find an error in an addon...!??

Ok, so Gemini Trains - the 4th known possible rival to Eurostar - is public. Some ex-Go Ahead people behind it. Once I’m done meeting SBB I’ll analyse it!
Gosh. I was off work for a day last week with a new Peter Cawdron. This week I get yet another day off and there's a new Scalzi! I haven't had a day off this quarter, then 2 books come along at once. #Bookstodon
I think I might need to start asking some LLM to help me with this #hCaptha. I really have no clue whether a microwave oven lives in an aquarium or where on earth is the Skip button.
