Ok. So Kaisma didn’t disappoint

I bumped into a surveyor who spoke English and confirmed this is the route. The gravel, circled, is where Kaisma Rail Baltica station will be. The arrow is roughly the route the track will take

I’ve been to some odd places on but this is perhaps the strangest place to locate a station I’ve seen. Why here? 🤔 Even what village there is in Kaisma isn’t close

every time I mention Palestine in the DRW newsletter I get at least one (usually more) angry responses with a "why wont you stick to tech/privacy/security" vibe

surveillance and AI tech—fueled by data collection of Palestinians—are amplifying the genocide. Israel exports its tech around the world, 'battled-tested' on Palestinians. Israel has contracts with large data-extractive tech companies. these are privacy and security issues.

Less than a week to go until #CiviCamp & #CiviSprint Hamburg (where I'm presenting).

I wrote this after the big progress at the Ashbourne Sprint last December - https://civicrm.org/blog/nicol/theming-and-accessibility-age-formbuilder-and-searchkit. This was followed with a big push at the Montreal (virtual for me) Sprint in February to finally make all of CiviCRM's 20 years of different markup/JS patterned accordions accessible – without JS! This dropped in #CiviCRM 5.72: https://civicrm.org/blog/dev-team/civicrm-572-release and seems to still be issue-free two months on. #a11y

nicol,
@nicol@social.coop avatar

We then closed a 6-year open issue for accessible accordions (expand/close UI elements): https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/3294.

It was first raised by , the great expert and champion, as Tech Director at US National Federation for the Blind (https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/17735/access-for-blind-users-to-civicrm/17752#17752). The 7 years it took to find the resources/volunteers/time to do this is made sadder by the fact she died in 2019. But her impact lives on, not just Civi's focus; but 's Olivero theme is named after her influence there.

is a publisher with a lot of experience. You would think they would understand DOIs. They do not. As if they don't care about references and citations. If you see a "10/gh3n5k" about where you could expect a DOI, it probably was supposed to be a DOI. Maybe try to add some publisher value and work with the authors to fix that? Then you can also check if the author list is actually correct (no, it was not). Is this a N=1? No, it is not. It is a routine in

The Register goes deep into looking into Christine Dudley's comment (which I reported earlier) that she started to see ads that reflected the audiobooks she was checking out from her library.

Upshot: They can't tell for sure that the ads appeared as the result of her reading those books, but the sheer volume of data tracking methods and pathways invoked on sites, services and devices used by libraries and patrons also make it difficult to tell for sure that they didn't: https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/18/mystery_of_the_targeted_mobile_ads/

Anyone know of good tools for annotating trails on top of OpenStreetMap data and then viewing the resulting trail + map data interactively, but OFFLINE, on an iPhone? Is there a video guide on how to do this?

to answer my own question (lol!), GraphHopper seems to offer a lot of what I want: https://graphhopper.com/maps/?profile=car&layer=Omniscale

I've also seen BRouter recommended: https://brouter.de/brouter-web/

You can create the trail you want to walk - despite having never been there before (in advance), then just download it as a .GPX file and open/use it on your mobile, completely offline in a suitable app e.g. OsmAnd

Happy birthday to us? 😄

I've just paid for the second year of localization café server, which makes us about 15 months old.

At 250 EUR, it's a very easy to justify business expense, and we're still at half capacity. We could have 100 concurrent users, we have 46.

Maybe I'll do a promo-kind of post for the outsite world, and maybe some cards for Gamescom, but I like the little routine we got. Easy peasy.

Just remember to recommend this place to good colleagues 😄

Hear you soon!

Damn. The US is absolutely an oligopoly, through and through

"Enter the Intercept’s general counsel David Bralow, who said he had problems with the article. He didn’t have legal concerns. Bralow instead thought it inopportune, saying that attacking Bezos might not sit well with the Intercept’s own billionaire donor, Pierre Omidyar, especially at a time when he was keeping the organization afloat."

to return to the point, my transgression was that what I had written upset the worldview & dominance of a board member too cowardly to tell me their name, who does nothing to support our work. (Multiple times I'd asked for equipment and was first ignored, then given less than 1/4 the min budget, as decided by the board, so I continued to use my personal camera and video equipment)

The oligarchic control is everywhere, and it's particularly sensitive to being challenged on a narrative level.

I've contributed a fair bit to free content (CC licenses) & open source projects over the years.

Personally, I want "my" stuff to be used to make AI models better. I use open licenses precisely because I want people to come up with interesting & hopefully beneficial new uses.

I understand why lots of folks feel differently, of course.

However, it's not a clear-cut legal situation, either. Training != inference; it's only model output that violates licenses that's unambiguously infringing.

I disagree with calling copyright a "worker protection". If it was, it would not be something that can be hoarded into large piles that confer massive economic power.

Copyright is an intellectual monopoly right that ostensibly exists to incentivize creative works. And it's often the first thing creative workers have to sign away as part of employment agreements or contracts.

Springer rolled out a new search interface a little while ago, and in the process they broke their DOI resolution which fucks up pretty much everything (our discovery layer / knowledge base, Google Scholar, etc)

Like https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57860-1 redirects to https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-57860-1 which gives HTTP 404, when it should redirect to https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-57860-1

How do you screw up a redirect that simple? And how do you not fix it within minutes?

54 years ago today, on May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guard troops fired on demonstrating students at Kent State University, killing 4 of them and wounding 9 others.

11 days later, police fired on students at Jackson State College in Mississippi, killing 2 students and injuring 12 others.

Among the many reports and studies following the killings (for which no one was convicted) was the 1970 Report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest. You can read it here: https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED083899
