This badass woman should be all over the news but sadly her accomplishment is under-reported.

very much recommend this beautifully written, acerbic, wide-ranging and informative piece about Arabic typography in the web browser https://lr0.org/blog/p/arabic/ "Arabic letters are strongly right-to-left. Latin letters are strongly left-to-right.... Spaces and punctuation are neutral and take their direction from whoever is standing next to them, like guests at a wedding who know nobody."
If this isn't bureaucracy in France in a nutshell 😅
Sign outside of a relatively small wind farm giving chronology of the project, translated to English, it reads:
1998 - project starts
2002 - applied for a construction permit 🤞
🦗 ... 🦗
2018 - construction starts 😅
2020 - construction ends
2021 - commissioning and grid connection
I don't know the actual history, maybe there is a good reason... but I enjoyed seeing this as someone often refreshing various french government websites to check on the status of a "depot de demande de" something or other (no construction permits, though).
@NilaJones @helvick @mttaggart @trashpanda @ai6yr @h2onolan normal people overwhelmingly just use the stock technology as shipped
@mattblaze @NilaJones @helvick @trashpanda @ai6yr @h2onolan I routinely ask our security team to browse the web on a stock Windows machine to remember what the rest of the world experiences.

The most respectful alternative, open to all and full of content to explore.

Meanwhile in Clacton.....
Arise, Sir Jude Bellingham!
The Trump regime's all-out war on fair elections -- spanning myriad tactic and agencies, often blatantly illegally -- should be a front-and-center preoccupation of every American journalism organization. At best we're getting episodic coverage. ProPublica gets it. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-midterm-elections-takeover-takeaways
@dangillmor Why the F did thy put "take over" in quotes?
It's very literal... No quotes needed.
The Project 2025 regime is trying to take over the midterms. Period. The end. No quotes.

The Green Party in the UK is experiencing a surge of support on the back of populist economic policies. Why are the Australian Greens failing to achieve something similar? The Greens vote in Australia has effectively plateaued since 2010
@david_reid Because they look and feel like metrosexual lawyers, not everyday working class people. Identity is a hellava drug.
