Discussion
A couple of table top game designers came together to build an open-source colour identification system that is colorblind friendly. It uses symbols and color theory. For example: the symbol for green is a mix of the one for yellow and blue.
I could totally see those engraved on little wooden tokens for board games for example.
In a joint statement, Scottish Trans, Trans+ Solidarity Alliance and TransActual claimed the legal framework is "fundamentally broken" but the huge backlash driven against the Code of Practice "opens up a vital sliver of hope for a better future in UK law."

Danish journalists eat American journalists for breakfast.
This is Rasmus Svaneborg from Ritzau showing how it is done.
@randahl I feel like there is a breakfast pastry joke here but I haven’t had enough coffee yet. Great question though.
It’s only bragging wishcasting if it comes from Santa Clara Valley—otherwise, it’s just sparkling lies. Matt Scherer joined me and @alex to discuss the AI bubble and how we can avoid bailing out billionaires.

Where you live is your choice John - as it is for a family of 4 or 5. That's not at issue.
What is at issue is whether unearned income should be taxed LESS than earned, whether council tax should be proportionally LESS on big expensive houses, whether it should be easier for older people to borrow for buy-to-lets than for young people to buy their first home, etc, etc...
There are always, inevitably, winners and losers in any changes to fiscal and monetary policies - the point is to make people currently paying more than their fair share the winners - and in the process make UK housing more affordable.
@GeofCox A more equitable set of tax burdens and incentives is if course long overdue, and fiercely opposed.
But your proposed target of driving moves is a different matter.
And I'm puzzled why all your comments focus only on individuals, rather than on the big capital that now controls a lot of the housing system.
Two seats left
For any interested in the last couple of seats for Tunnel, the hours have been set to UTC 15:00 - 19:00, so fitting in with a cohort that is largely US and EU based.
@smallcircles @echo_pbreyer Yea this sucks, the eu is often does wonderful things but it is also deeply flawed as seen here. The only fix for it is treaty reforms and unfortunately it is unlikely that member states will agree on such reforms any time soon...

There's a discussion on HN again, where the matter gained a lot of attention the past couple weeks.
One person clearly named in top comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberta_Metsola
> "Roberta Metsola's actions this week jeopardise the legitimacy of the EU project as a whole."
Another comment about "What is coming back" with #ChatControl 1.0:
> "US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud."
Sometimes, while designing some hypothetical fediverse software, I run into this feeling
setting aside ActivityPub spec compatibility itself, there are these frustrating moments where I hit preconditions like 'this won't work because of which FEPs (e.g. Activity Intents) other fediverse software happens to support' and it just kills the momentum.

@rubinjoni @AnarchoNinaWrites (I also think it's worth reading these patterns across cultures rather than assuming they'll need to be rederived separately in different cultural contexts. The amount of history and depth of cultural roots available to draw on plays a role in how many different touch-points are available to connect to, but this sort of conspiricizing also functions as a really portable form of rhetoric, that in a globalized culture can be carried at the front of cultural exchange (as opposed to, needing to root itself in the local culture generationally, first).
e.g. despite Japan only really getting its first full-time professional antisemite in the 1970s (cite to "Jews In The Japanese Mind"), Aum Shinrikyo's sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway was, to them, an attack targeting the Jews and the Freemasons.)
(Uh. I hope this was coherent paragraphs of thought.)
@gaditb @AnarchoNinaWrites First time I hear about the Aum Jews&Masons angle. I'm curious about Aum ever since their members visited Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, but I can't find a lot of resources in English. I don't want to delail this thread, but I'd like to be a part of Fediverse Aum Shinrikyo Special Interest Club, once I find one.
@maiwann et le garage du constructeur n'est pas toujours le plus compétent… Mais il est plus chère (donc demander un devis)!
@iergo Oui mais ils ont les outils spécifiques ! (super cet enfermement propriétaire coté bagnole, on adore)
The guy who insisted that Biden was too old, confuses Ukrainian president Zelenskyy with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This morning's Low Quality Ad is for this "Easily Distracted By Birds" Pin. Please be cautious about displaying this pin. You'll hear a knock on the door, find a mysterious pigeon placed on your doorstep, and before you know it you've been robbed blind. Textbook bird distraction.

@maiwann Tu peux changer de garage mais ce n'est pas toujours intéressant. Il va falloir transporter la voiture en panne d'un garage à l'autre notamment.
Il a du te faire un devis au départ ? ou demande lui 2 devis (juste le diagnostique, ou réparation) pour ne pas avoir de surprise. Ou tu peux lui poser directement la question si c'est un garagiste honnête. Il n'a peut être pas envie de lancer dans une réparation complexe ?
@iergo La voiture roule et a un problème une fois qu'elle a trop chauffé, donc je me dis que l'amener a un 2e garage ça doit se gérer.
Et non pas encore de devis, on attendait le diagnostic 😬
J'ai en effet l'impression qu'il sent que ça va être complexe, il m'a parlé 2 fois de la possibilité qu'il faille de l'outillage spécifique et bon… je comprends qu'il n'ai pas envie de s'équiper pour 1 seule bagnole
Oooh - bait and switch. The Trouble Maker Games "Count Binface" figurine was £5.50 when it was publicised. It is now £6.50, and the £5.50 link has disappeared.
@realcainmosni I got it for 5.50 yesterday, I guess they got a rush...
so, the fuck is the AI news today?
Platform that can't stay up because it's now vibe coded slop has morons trying to replace it with vibe coded slop
Or
Platform that can't be relied on not to reference hitler renamed in the hope you think it's safe for use by anyone at all ever
@mathieui 🤦♂️
@JulianOliver They fixed the bug though: you can no longer get rid of it officially
