Chissà perché quando si trattano temi legati alla salute - p.es. "ho scoperto di avere un tumore al cervello al 4° stadio perché una volta al mese sentivo profumo di caramello" - le testimonianze arrivano sempre da Paesi anglofoni.

E sono riportate da testate conosciute come il FQ o trasmissioni tipo Report.



"Scapegoating vulnerable people has always been a deliberate ploy by the government to distract from its own domestic failures. Today, it might be asylum seekers. Tomorrow, it could be disabled people. The next day, trans people. Whatever the minority, we are witnessing the demonisation of vulnerable people, to the grave detriment of us all"

Y’all. I did it. I just published my very first macOS app. 🎉

It’s a color contrast checker for accessibility compliance. I designed and built it for myself, but I’m also gifting it to the world.

It’s not in the App Store, but it is signed for safety. And it will let you know when there’s an update.

I’m a little giddy about it. 😊

UPDATE: v1.2 with a versioning system is available now.

Great app, it’s already proven very useful! One question, what is the font size/weight combo that the APCA numbers are based on? The ability to configure this would be amazing for a future update, but I understand if you want to keep it simple.

@alextm I’m so glad to hear it!

I have considered some potential updates with variables for both WCAG and APCA to account for font size/weight variables. I’m just not sure I want to overcomplicate this.

Even if you visit a WCAG contrast checker website, they don’t show numbers for the 14/18-point breaks. They just note it. So I thought about adding it.

For the APCA declarations I’m using their contrast legend:

Warum ist denn ein Account auf der Instanz social-bund-de von Dir wegmoderiert worden?

Ist social-bund-de nicht an sich bereits ein Ausschlusskriterium fürs Wegmoderieren?

Was soll ich mit der Aussage "Das ist eine falsche Einordnung" anfangen, statt dass du fragst, ob ich ein Beispiel nennen kann.

Dieser Post wurde von deutschen Bürger*innen gemeldet (hat also nichts mit meiner österreichischen Sicht zu tun): social.bund.de/@bmi/1145855311…

Was daran Falschinformation ist?

"Die heutigen Entscheidungen im Bundeskabinett dienen der Reduzierung der illegalen Migration. "

Nein, sie dienen der Illegalisierung von Migration und Integration.

"Ziel ist es [...] mehr Ordnung in das Migrationsgeschehen zu bringen und dem Leitsatz der Humanität und Ordnung gleichermaßen gerecht zu werden"

'Ziel ist es, Menschenrechte und Humanität zu Privilegien zu machen und die AFD zu stärken' wäre ehrlicher.

Dass es irgendwelche Nachteile durch Migration gibt, ist ein weit verbreiteter Verschwörungsmythos.

---------------

"Die deutsche Bundesinstanz muss insgesamt für alle deutschen User auf Deiner Instanz sichtbar sein."

Muss sie nicht. Ist sie aber.

"wäre es trotzdem notwendig,
dass alle User aus Deutschland das sehen können und damit interagieren=es kritisieren können."

Wie gesagt, daran hindert dich nichts und niemensch. Die Posts sind nur nicht automatisch für alle sichtbar.

Du hast Recht, die Instanz hat eine Sonderstellung was Moderation angeht, Weil sie eine offizielle Instanz eines (noch) demokratischen Staats ist. In jedem anderen Fall würde ich eine Instanz blockieren, die Posts wie den oben genannten nicht moderiert.

Deshalb sind die Accounts nur verborgen, damit die Propaganda nicht unnötig verbreitet wird. Jede*r Nutzer*in unserer Instanz kann sich aber bewusst dafür entscheiden, Accounts auf dem Server zu folgen und mit den Posts zu interagieren.

Man kann nicht überblicken, wo Du noch überall demokratisch legitimierte Institute und Institutionen zensierst .
Demokratiebewusstsein hast Du jedenfalls nicht, stattdessen eine geballte Ladung autoritärer Selbstüberschätzung.

Das Bild zeigt eine alte, grüne Telefonzelle an einer orangefarbenen Wand. Die Telefonzelle hat einen klassischen Designstil mit einem Drehknopf für die Nummerierung und einen schwarzen Hörer. Auf der Vorderseite befindet sich ein "SOS"-Knopf mit der Aufschrift "TAB 9000". Die Telefonzelle ist mit einem Kabel verbunden, das zum Hörer führt. Die Wand ist leuchtend orange und hat einige kleine Flecken und Kratzer. Rechts neben der Telefonzelle ist ein Teil eines anderen Geräts sichtbar, das möglicherweise ein Telefonbuch oder eine Anleitung ist.

I'm in a newly and shinily renovated #VIRM train in The Netherlands right now. Back in the day when I was still forced to ride the train daily, there'd be a handle on the door, and a physical lock. But of course, that won't do in 2025. It's all controlled with electronics now.

I've sat here watching people struggle to no end. From teens to the elderly.

What an improvement uh!

Unes dades sobre la Flotilla a tindre en compte.

En la Flotilla del 2010, Israel va assassinar a 10 participants. I va ferir de bala a 53 més.

Els 700 supervivents vam ser segrestats i portats a una presó en el desert del Neguev. Van haver pallisses i tortures. I ens van robar absolutament tot.

Cada membre de la Flotilla del 2025 s'arrisca a morir a trets, ser torturat o desaparegut. De fet, ara amb el genocidi, Israel és infinitament més violent que en el 2010.

Cal saber-ho. I ara ho saps.

RT @rohanpaul_ai
💼 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI is scaling so fast that a 4 day week is plausible while output keeps rising.

His case is cause and effect, faster tools compress tasks, leaders activate more ideas, so time saved turns into either free time or new projects.

Bank of America Research expects broad labor efficiency as firms do the same work with fewer hours, which resolves the old productivity paradox.

Large trials of the 4 day week show the same results in 33 to 34 hours, productivity up 24%, and burnout about half with fewer sick days and quits.

The image is a newspaper article with a headline in Dutch: "Eindelijk dringt het door dat de extremerechts kiezer niet voor rede vatbaar is." The article discusses the rise of the extreme right and the ineffectiveness of the left in countering it. It mentions the failure of the Democratic campaign in 2016 and the subsequent rise of the extreme right in America, highlighting the need for a more effective response. The article also references the California governor Gavin Newsom as a Democratic challenger to Trump, using social media strategies to combat Trump's communication style. It discusses the growing understanding of the left in the Netherlands about the need to address extreme right rhetoric effectively. The article concludes by stating that the extreme right's appeal lies in its ability to tap into irrational fears and alternative facts, making it difficult for progressive parties to regain the support of voters.

According to RSF data, 220 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip in less than 23 months.

Today, OCCRP is joining an international media blackout campaign, organized by RSF and Avaaz, calling for the protection of Palestinian journalists in Gaza.

in reply to OCCRP

The media outlets involved in this campaign are making three demands:

🔴We demand the protection of Palestinian journalists and an end to the impunity for crimes perpetrated by the Israeli army against them in the Gaza Strip.
🔴We demand the foreign press be granted independent access to the Gaza Strip.
🔴We demand that governments across the world host Palestinian journalists seeking evacuation from Gaza.

in reply to OCCRP

With the opening of the 80th United Nations General Assembly taking place in eight days, we demand strong action from the international community and call on the United Nations Security Council to stop the Israeli army's crimes against Palestinian journalists.

Erotic Mythology 🔥 reshared this.



"Over the last few months, I have traveled across America talking to a wide array of tipped workers in an attempt to understand the shape-shifting phenomenon of tipping. I asked workers how it felt to have been at the center of a US presidential election campaign, and whether they think the No Tax on Tips will improve their lives, as has been repeatedly promised. But I also chose this as an opportunity to ask and understand: Why is tipping so rampant in the United States, and who does it benefit?

For thirteen long years Humberto, who prefers that I use only his first name, worked at a restaurant earning no wages whatsoever, making his living solely through tips. At the age of eighteen, he had moved from Mexico to America in search of brighter economic prospects. But being an undocumented immigrant without a college degree, Humberto had few options. He took the job he got: a server at a Mexican restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky. Each time he complained about the lack of formal wages, the restaurant’s owners would threaten to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on him, potentially having him deported. And so Humberto stayed on even as he “felt like a slave,” he told me. Indeed, he was working in conditions similar to the black servers who were hired just after the abolition of slavery over a century ago.

For workers like Humberto, the No Tax on Tips policy does close to nothing. “I wasn’t even being paid the subminimum wage of $2.13 an hour that my employer owed me. And I was barely making enough tips to survive,” Humberto recalled. According to Yale University’s Budget Lab, over a third of tipped workers don’t make enough to pay federal income taxes. The No Tax on Tips law has zero effect on their financial situation."
