Fresh off the press: Transition Technologies, the Polish company behind everything with Seeing Assistant in the name, have done it again. Seeing Assistant Go is their brand-new navigation app that improves on the previous Move offering. Most of the features you know are there plus a few additions. There is a simple as well as an advanced mode with a couple more settings and options. You can explore all of the OSM tags for a point which lets you find out pretty useful things e.g. does a pavement have tactile flooring or do the traffic lights have acoustic signalling. The navigation no longer provides instructions based on clock-wise or compass directions but rather you turn around with the phone in your hand and once you hear the assigned sound, you know you have found the direction and then carry on straight. This one will need a bit of getting used to but I was told by an experienced blind tester of the app it actually works once you got the hang of it. As far as I know, a blind developer and user of navigation apps is involved full-time in the project. Happy testing! iOS: apps.apple.com/pl/app/seeing-a…: play.google.com/store/apps/det… #Accessibility #a11y #Blind

Pronatalist agenda: Encourage white births, enforce regressive, hierarchal & stratified social roles, push women out of public sphere and narrow women’s prospects for social, professional intellectual life to pregnancy, child care & housework.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“the pro-natalist movement...is not really interested in making parenting easier or less burdensome for women. It is not interested in making children more affordable, or making them healthier.”

“It is not interested in making pregnancy safer, or in making childrearing less damaging to women’s careers.

“It is not interested in these because all of these pursuits are in fact antithetical to the movement’s real agenda”

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

in reply to Preston Austin

Pro-natalists' agenda “is to encourage primarily white births, to enforce regressive, highly hierarchal and stratified social roles, to push women out of the public sphere and to narrow women’s prospects for social, professional and intellectual life to little more than pregnancy, childbirth, childrearing and housekeeping”

“Despite the extreme anti-woman bigotry and regressive gender politics...American liberals have been hesitant to combat the right’s embrace” of it.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

in reply to Preston Austin

“women should be able, free and encouraged to live lives that do not conform to regressive notions of women’s proper roles as wives and mothers, that they should be free to invent themselves on their own terms – including as permanently childless adults. This is not, as the pro-natalists would have it, an abandonment of their biological duty – and it is not, as their liberal sympathizers would say, an example of cultural decadence.”

A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: voltpaperscissors.com/diybookl….
Feel free to ask any questions.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but corporations cannot be “furious.” They also cannot be “happy”, “sad”, or gripped by any other emotion because they are not people. Stop anthropomorphising corporations. mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1…

It would be awesome if the voters in Carleton fired Pierre PoiLIEvre!

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Question to people doing electronics and other fields using very small units: do you use the name "thou" or "mil" for the unit representing 1⁄1000 inch?

Considering adding this in unit list in @GIMP. Wikipedia seems to say that Thou is more common globally (but North America) and it looks like @FreeCAD (a good reference!) uses "Thou" too.

Yet a reporter insists that "mil" is more common and that "thou" wouldn't be understood by engineers.
So which is it? 😄
