@techsinger @EdenLinnea Yep, the Matilda Ziegler magazine is also gone. We need a single Web site for archiving these publications, not only for the sake of those who are into nostalgia but for preserving our history. There are collections of these magazines and other old documents scattered throughout cyberspace. This in itself has a benefit, since if one single archive goes away you don't want everything going away with it. That being said, we do need a single, organized archive to preserve things like written and recorded blindness publications, product catalogs, screen reader manuals and tutorials, etc. I'm not the best person to set up something like this but I'm willing to share what I have with someone who is.

To come to the US legally? Farm workers are supposed to get an H-2A visa.

In theory, H-2A visas are fine. They're supposed to work like a temp agency/worker-to-workplace matching service.

But in reality? So many H-2A workers are abused, extorted, cheated, raped, & held prisoner on the job.

Here's a brief piece on how over 100 people who went through the entire proper H-2A documentation process to enter the US legally, still wound up in slavery.

The always-in-crisis crisis that is Mexico's public health system is worsening. Some headlines just from today:

I have noticed that the AppUI AppManager replacement doesn't play nice with the "Verizon UI" pop-ups on this device, so it's best to stick with the original "Get It Now" interface.

Studies have found the most logical and fastest keyboard layout is not between key orders like qwerty and dvorak, but one that prioritises the size of keys depending on the frequency of those letters in the language being typed, regardless of the ordering.

This Apple keyboard has an English layout. More frequently used letters in english are larger and slightly taller, less used letters are smaller and lower, which conveniently prevents tyops.,

Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a “war,” a “conflict,” or even a “humanitarian crisis”?

Many of the world’s leading human rights and humanitarian groups – including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders – agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.

🕯On 2 August 1944, around 4,300 Roma and Sinti were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, ending of the so-called ‘Gypsy family camp’.

This was part of the Roma Holocaust, which took over 500,000 lives.

Today we honour the memory of victims & stand against prejudice of Romani people.

👨🏼‍🏫With the Council of Europe, we're working to bring Roma Holocaust history in school curricula across Europe, so young people can grow up embracing inclusion.

Doporučení pracovat se Seznamy na Mastodonu jsem dával už mnohokrát a ano, dřív to dávalo smysl pouze pokud jste používali aplikaci 3tí strany, která s tím uměla pracovat, ale to se s v4.4.0 změnilo.

Mastodoní web aplikace nejen umožňuje vytvořit seznam (to umí už léta), ale nyní přidala nenápadnou volbu "Skrýt členy na domovském kanálu".

Pokud je někdo na tomto seznamu, skryje jej ve vašem domovském kanálu, abyste se vyhnuli dvojímu zobrazení příspěvků.

Nemáte zač…d8-D

A jestli chceš tvrdit že to jakože nebyla žádná diskriminace Klempíře pro jeho politický názor, tak si zkus odpovědět na celkem jednoduchou otázku: zda by ho ti šumaři vykopli z kapely kdyby místo za motoristy kandidoval třeba za topnuly, kampeličku, hnutí dozimetr, černozadekníky nebo digikomunistické černé košile, případně si dosaď nějakou jinou hovn- pardon, hodnotovou libtardí partaj s bambilionem problémů 😏 😜
