I’ve finally got around to installing #ublueaurora on my main personal laptop, a 10 year old 11” MacBook Air.

Credit to @jorge and @UniversalBlue for engaging with the bullshit required to get the Broadcom WiFi working out if the box. *chef’s kiss*

Everything seems to work perfectly except the webcam but that is a nightmare under Linux so I’ll survive.

Je tente un nouveau jeu sur le #Fediverse , je ne sais pas si le jeu sera marrant, ni si vous aurez envie d'y participer mais je vous explique :

Le but du jeu c'est d'essayer de mimer une photo postée par quelqu'un avec le hashtag #Mimic

Les gens qui veulent participer doivent répondre au message initial en publiant à leur tour une photo en essayant de copier la photo originale et en respectant la consigne, d'où le hashtag "Mimic" . Une sorte de "Jacques a dit", " Simon says" en gros 🦜🦜

How scientists with disabilities are making research labs and fieldwork more accessible


Summary

Scientists with disabilities are addressing barriers in labs and fieldwork by promoting accessibility through advocacy and creative solutions.

Disabled people comprise only 3% of the STEM workforce, partly because labs, classrooms, and field sites are often inaccessible.

Many are told they can't work safely, says Mark Leddy, a former National Science Foundation official.

Groups like the International Association for Geoscience Diversity organize inclusive field trips, using tools like drones and assistive apps.

Advocates stress that accessibility benefits everyone and emphasize the value of disabled scientists' problem-solving skills and perspectives.

This is good. We need to make way more of the world accessible
in reply to MicroWave

This is great stuff. I personally had to change my dream career path because of a disability and I can't begin to imagine how happy I'd be if I could still access it.


"But there are two things worth noting here though, I think:

Democrats, even Biden himself, have in some key ways helped expedite the formation of the very oligarchy they are now decrying, and

We must understand that the tech oligarchy is already here. It has been for years. It’s only now more openly and aggressively expressing itself as such."

It puzzles me why would Trump start deportations in places where he and his policies aren't welcome. It would be obvious to start mass deportations in states like Louisiana or Texas where the majority wants it. Why Chicago? Maybe he realizes the economic and societal fallout and his goal is just to cause misery in the anti-Trump bastions?
