Today is Global #accessibility awareness day and I think I speak for a lot of people in the community when I say I'm tired. Particularly over the last few months, the overall climate towards accessibility and #diversity hasn't been super welcoming and while I have a good support network that can remind me that I am, in fact, human and worth existing, many do not. If you receive a request to make something #accessible, from anyone, keep in mind that may very well be the 5th, 10th or even 100th attempt this person has made today at screaming into the void hoping to be seen as a person rather than a potential drain on resources. Rather tna big companies showing off #AI gizmos that mean we've offloaded a problem we didn't want to deal with onto a fallible set of algorithms, maybe #gaad should be about being aware of how ridiculous it is that accessibility professionals and consumers need to fight to even be seen as human these days, because make no mistake, we do.

Me llamo Uriel, vine a Mastodon descubriendo el mundo del código abierto y la privacidad en internet, lo que hizo que la empezara a valorar. A veces desaparezco de las redes, suelo cotillear más que otra cosa, pero quien sabe...

Sigo en mi viaje por convertirme en un músico más completo, para transmitir como aquellos que me transmitieron. Mi refugio, el anime, los videojuegos y la música. Os dejo una pequeña parte de una pieza clásica grabada con el móvil, es la toma que más me ha gustado, perdonad la calidad, que la disfrutéis.

Do you know what “#Tivoization” means?

#RichardStallman coined this term to criticize a practice that restricts user freedom: even with free and opensource software, some devices block the execution of modified versions.

Yes, but why this name?
It simply takes the name of the first product (Tivo) this terrible practice was applied.

Did you know? 😬

Connecticut Towing Companies Use Belongings Left in Cars as Leverage to Collect Fees, Drivers Say

Can be sued; 4th ammt? says everyone is secure in their personal effects.
Towing company doesn't have a one time, legal siezure order for search and seizure of anything other than the vehicle.

Too, because it's the US, ergo reducto absurdums, illegal seizure of private property is same as theft of capital.
Individual in question might have intent to sell or deliver possessions to a buyer, but now the contract is void, to both buyer's and seller's loss.



Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything.

⚰️El Gobierno extremeño asiste por sorpresa a dos actos de reinhumación y homenaje a víctimas de la Guerra Civil.

La Consejera de Cultura de la Junta de Extremadura, Victoria Bazaga, estuvo presente en los dos actos cívicos, una participación inesperada, no exenta de polémica y que contrasta con su propuesta de derogación de la Ley de Memoria Histórica extremeña.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 'judicial coup' could see Palestinian parties banned from competing in elections for the Knesset, a senior MK has warned.

Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List, fears that new high court judges might not challenge the government if it ordered Palestinian parties to be struck off the electoral list.

Heute stellen wir euch Wodi vor!

Er baut fast alles. Von großen Technic-Modellen bis hin zu alten Systembausteinsets, von beleuchteten Showcars bis zu inoffiziellen B-Modellen, die aus bestehenden Sets ganz neue Fahrzeuge machen.

In Ernstbrunn zeigte er eine breite Palette an Autos, viele davon mit Lichteffekten, und bewies damit einmal mehr, dass man mit etwas Kreativität aus jedem Set noch mehr herausholen kann.

One person was killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement, the Health Ministry said.

A ministry statement said the victim lost his life when an Israeli drone struck a bulldozer on the Arnon–Yahmor road in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of nearly 200 people.
