@krisajenkins pilot interesting! Thanks Kris! I know maybe half a dozen people using jj regularly and you’re the first to mention the first two!l of these three!

@thepeoplestech True, it's not *big* tech yet. That helps, I guess.

@RandamuMaki I know what you mean.

I remember coming back from Dublin one weekend and it took a week to drop some phrases in a very weird Dublin accent I'd picked up.

@Daojoan counterpoint: maybe _do_ abandon "AI" completely because of it.

@cwilcox808 Thanks. I realise the focus of that article is native apps, but I quoted it because it describes what I experience in VoiceOver today on Mac OS for a design prototype I’ve coded up. Which is to say…

it most definitely does *not* read in the order followed by the accessibility tree (AT).

However, I’ve just discovered that this issue seems to be limited to Firefox (and forks):

- Chrome: AT
- Safari: AT
- Firefox: visual order
- Waterfox: visual order (my default browser)

Meanwhile ordinary people are left to deal with floods, heatwaves and rising costs that keep getting worse. 

The planet is overheating and the wrong people are getting the bill.

Enough is enough. Governments must act to ensure that those most responsible pay their fair share for the damage they have caused.

@stoleks Sans dire qu'on peut se passer de la violence, j'ai quand même un souci avec le fait que ça semble toujours être des mecs, valides, qui soient à prôner la violence physique contre d'autres personnes. Y'a un sujet sur qui défend la violence. 2/

@EUCommission Seems odd to make a website response instead of parents. I guess your constituents would be unhappy with you of you implied THEY had responsibility for their own children.

While you're being told to recycle more & use paper straws to save the #planet the world’s richest 0.01% are wrecking it not only through their lavish lifestyles but also their ownership-based #emissions.

A new Greenpeace Africa report found that the world’s richest 0.01% are associated with about US$992 billion worth of climate damage in 2022 alone through ownership-based emissions. These are emissions linked to the companies, investments and assets wealthy people own and profit from.

@onepict I find my brain just sort of adopts whatever language gets spoken around me and I involuntarily start to mimic it (oftentimes badly) in my own speech patterns.

This more frequently happens with accents of languages I'm already familiar with, like Dutch and English, so if I'm in Friesland I will start butchering Frysian...

Same must be true for my reading comprehension of these languages.

My partner does not have this, and it's probably where her rigidity stems from.

We live in a #deathcult rooted in 45 years of #neoliberalism and #postmodernism. Until we understand those roots, we'll keep mistaking the symptoms for the disease.

Today's "reasonable" politics to often feels like lost people, each individually thrashing through the same thorny bush. The problem isn't the people, it's the roots feeding the mess.

Cut those roots, and the old growth dries out. But history reminds us: when old systems collapse, the fire can spread in dangerous directions if we don't build something better first.

That's why we need the #openweb, #4opens and #OMN - not just to critique the old world, but to grow the next one. #climatechaos #KISS

@stefan Definitely! The Bluesky company going bankrupt or having to take drastic actions would be a good test on the protocol.

@gkrnours UR A REAL ONE

This "vlizotrap" is a Dutch device traditionally used to manage population size. Once a year, usually in the summer, every Dutch person completes the challenge of using this extendable stepladder to fetch camping equipment from the attic. Those who are too old or unhandy die trying. #FolkloreFriday

Yesterday I've caught the #ISS with my telescope.

I was a quite unorthodox method: the DSO camera was continuously filming through the 200/1000 Newtonian, while I was aiming looking though the viewfinder.

Lots of cleanup and stacking later, here's two pictures, the one on the left from the beginning of the pass, the second while at its peak.

(maybe I'm starting to train for the near future when we'll need to shoot down data-centers from orbit, nobody knows...)

@henryhenderson I'm heading to Varberg for https://www.goatmire.com and some holiday after ☺️

Holiday in the climate emergency.
No that’s not AI or edited, it is a photo I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France.
Ash is raining from the sky.
What future will this boy grow up in?
It is in our hands, but time is running out.

If you get stuck, I definitely recommend the online Dictionaries of the Scots Language at https://dsl.ac.uk/
