Can anyone who has disabilities tell me how good Linux support is for Wacom or other digital tablets and if there's any speech recognition available for Linux (including the ability to give voice commands in addition to dictation)?

As Heather Cox Richardson reports, the Supreme Court just signed off on a South Carolina congressional map that dilutes Black votes by gerrymandering.

And Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion. She writes,

"Almost exactly 70 years after the Supreme Court unanimously decided Brown v. Board, it appears that the framed timbers designed to reverse the expansion of minority rights are falling into place."

Well 💩
I just learned that Peru 🇵🇪 signed a law last month that classifies people as mentally ill, despite lots of societal support for them.

Guess we can cross Peru off of the countries USians can flee to in November (if the cheeto gets reelected).

Whenever I see people talk about how they wish there was an explicitly antizionist fedi instance I can’t help but chuckle a bit.

Start one. And come back to me in a year if it’s still up. Cause it 100% won’t be. The issue isn’t Zionism that people have on here, it’s Jews in general. They hate us regardless. There have been numerous explicit antizionist leaning instance on the fediverse that have been ran off here because they didn’t sit there and take explicit antisemitism, and by nature of calling out antisemitism they were accused of being Zionists.

I literally don’t even talk about Zionism and have explicitly criticized the Israeli government and shared viewpoints that are highly against the grain of most American Jewish society, yet I still get treated like shit. I call out antisemitism, and people still brand me a zionist as a result.

This is why I’m highly suspicious of the intentions of the people piling on to attack babka. Many of the fediverses top antisemites is sharing that fediblock post for a reason and it’s not because they give a shit. You’re being played for fools.

Positive news for :

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

Okay so with no show stoppers appearing, I've dropped Greater Northshore BIke Map 1.2 - Late May 2024, which shows bike infrastructure and adds preferred non-infrastructure routes between the Seattle and the new Eastside 2 Line Bike Connector maps.

You can find it here:

https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap

It covers Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Juanita, parts of north Redmond that the 2 Line leaves out, and a decent chunk of unincorporated NE King County.

Next up will be a revision of the MEGAMAP, a map that pastes together the Greater Northshore map and the two others into one big poster-sized beast.
