"Currently, the bill is only in the introductory stage so it hasn't yet passed and become law, so if this is important to you in the US you may want to speak to your representatives."

it's amusing how every time a law like this comes into the spotlight, someone just HAS to say "speak to your reps"

that doesn't do anything, they do NOT care. they are owned and paid for by billion dollar companies and individuals.

alternative strategies might work, and more people need to do those instead.

Another train journey. And it's time for another accessibility rant.

When Deutschebahn announced they were buying some level access Intercity stock (later to be named the ICE L). I was pleased. Finally DB were understanding that accessibility was important.

Except when the first trains rolled into Berlin Hbf in December, it became very obvious that DB had entirely failed to understand the assignment.

Please mind the gap between your expectations and the service actually delivered.

"But there are gap fillers in the only coach with wheelchair space". I can hear some apologists typing.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions of accessible design. That only wheelchair users need it.

What about parents with kids in a pushchair? Or people with heavy wheeled luggage? Or people who walk with a frame? Or crutches? Or people with balance issue? Or travelling with young children?

Just like how the curb cut effect makes the built environment better for everyone.

Accessible design makes the train easier to use for everyone. What Deutschebahn has said here is "fuck you all, we'll do the absolute bare minimum". The excellent writer @WeirdWriter has an article about door handle design with the line: "show me your doorknobs, and I’ll tell you who you are"

Show me the entrance to your nations trains and I'll tell you your country's attitude to anyone isn't perfectly able bodied. And the attitude from DB is somewhere between fuck you & the bare minimum.

Eine Frage an die Admins hier im Fediverse. Im Admininterface von @netcup gibt es die Möglichkeit #DNSSEC für die Domain zu aktivieren. Ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass ich das vor ~2 Jahren schon mal aktiv hatte es aber zu Problemen bei der Erreichbarkeit der Domain geführt hat.

Allerdings würde ich diese Option gerne wieder aktivieren. Gibt es hier irgendetwas zu beachten? Sollte man beim Apache oder anderswo irgendwas konfigurieren?

Food for thought. It has to be tough on teachers to see this happening.

This doesn't work for everyone (especially online courses must be terrible now), but I found a few simple solutions: Forget any assignment that will be "written", unless as an unscored practice or done 1 on 1 right in front of you. I did for example have written exams the same way as oral exams: one by one in my office, on my computer. Focus on actual skills. In presentations I checked the presentation itself for mistakes or omissions, but otherwise only scored the actual performance: How students spoke, how they presented their topic.

Problem is, a lot of faculty is unable to adapt, to change. I've heard "that's impossible" or "that can't be done" way too often, even after I already did it myself.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1164…

I am very happy to finally be able to announce this. We are working hard (you can’t imagine) to secure funding to continue to improve Mastodon, and are very grateful that amazing organisation like @sovtechfund invest in open-source, and especially Mastodon.

Developing open-source software is hard (and it is not becoming easier) and quality software requires a lot of hard work. Our team is growing and we are delivering more polished features than ever, and we continue to try to push it further


We’re happy to share that Mastodon has been awarded a service agreement from the Sovereign Tech Fund @sovtechfund 🎉

This covers five major initiatives through 2026 and 2027. We are very grateful for this support. Read about the details in our blog post.

It's #PortfolioDay, and for once I'm also going to partake by sharing a few of my photos. I am a photographer and I shoot predominantly on film. I enjoy the slow and tactile process, and I love the grain. I try to take pictures of things I find beautiful or meaningful. You can see more of my work on my website:

OK, back to work. Since it's nearly apple-blossom time AND a nice day, we got busy and seeded up the "Pot-O-Carrots" for the season. It's a large planter, about 19 inches in diameter and 15 inches deep, holding about 12 gallons (43 liters) of potting mix. We use pelleted seed and plant in concentric circles with about ½ inch spacing. Pictures are an attempt to show what we do and what the scale is.
