Anyone knows any visually impaired astronomers (or amateurs) who will be interested to test our #astronomy apps for #Accessibility ?

health, positive...? sort of?
I genuinely have no idea how this could happen, I guess the salt restrictions assume neurotypical folks who cheat on the restrictions or something, and they're not designed to be actually followed to the letter??

hospital, social worker, autism, positive
Social worker at the hospital today: "it's nice to work with autistic folks, it's so easy to establish a clear [agreement/understanding] with them!"

De trein en bus zaten vandaag weer vol met snotterende mensen. Als je wacht met mondkapjes dragen totdat er een golf is, nou, nu is dus het moment om daarmee weer te beginnen.

Asking for a friend (echt), is er een soort bank-of-last-resort voor stichtingen? Een bank die wel bereid is na te denken ipv gillend weg te rennen zodra het iets met het hulp aan Oekraïne te maken heeft? Het is leuk dat de overheid contante transacties boven de 3000 euro verbiedt maar dan moet je niet ook bankrekeningen onbereikbaar maken, lijkt me.

Some serious props to Australia Post for this one. No street number provided, just "The one with the big antenna". Thanks for the laughs @xssfox !

Ken je rechten, flyeren op “semi-openbare” plekken als stations is toegestaan

A huge victory for trans people's rights in the European Union: the European Court of Justice ruled today that EU member states are not allowed to refuse a legal gender change obtained in another member state, and that all member states must recognize a gender change obtained anywhere in the EU.
“The Court emphasised that the refusal to acknowledge changes of forename and gender acquired in another Member State is contrary to the fundamental rights of EU citizens.”

hot take rust floats should be called f23e8 and f52e11 instead of f32 and f64

Judging from said doctor's puzzled look, they did not expect it either
health, positive...? sort of?
Given that I'm suffering from kidney failure, I absolutely did not expect a doctor to ever tell me "your sodium level is too low, you should eat more salty things"

"COVID is not a cold, it's a car accident. It spreads throughout the body, impacting many different organ systems... It's not unusual to get into a car accident and be just fine, but a lifestyle that involves getting into a car accident once a year comes with a reduced life expectancy."

I'm about to finish an audit of 42 webcomponents. The devs did a great job because pretty much none of them had detectable issues in axe. Still, only 8 of these 42 components have no critical issues. I only discovered those bugs through manual testing.
Long story short: automatic accessibility testing is only the first step. Manual testing is a must. Also, hire an accessibility expert if possible.
hospital tech
Found a bug in the hospital check-in system; checked in for one appointment and it apparently also automatically checked me in for a *different* appointment later in the day at the same location (this is not supposed to happen), so I was having my lunch break while the people there were wondering why I was nowhere to be found despite 'checking in early'

Getting #GodotEngine oiled up to the state it is now, where development speed is so incredibly fast and there is such good harmony with foundation, contributions and community took many many, _many_ years of refining processes for development, contribution, release management, moderation, etc.
I will do a talk about it at GodotCon in a week explaining parts of this process!
Pressing the fork button takes a second. Learning to do what we do takes a tiny bit more 😞.
