"Alice Wong, a proud Asian American and disabled woman, transformed the disability justice movement by insisting that disabled stories, disabled joy, and disabled futures mattered. Through her fearless advocacy and storytelling, she made sure millions of disabled people could not be ignored. Alice was known as the cyborg oracle in the disability community, challenging systems that devalued disabled lives while expanding the movement by emphasizing dignity and collective care. As a disabled ancestor, her legacy will forever shape the community.”
My statement from @americanprogress.bsky.social on disability justice activist, author, MacArthur fellow, and cyborg oracle Alice Wong.
this is some of the best alt text I've seen in ages.
Terminal window showing cargo-nextest running a Rust test with rust-gdb debugger. The test 'test_argument_parsing' from cargo-nextest is being executed. GDB (GNU Debugger) version 15.0.50.20240403 starts up, displaying copyright information, GPL v3+ license notice, and configuration details for x86_64-linux-gnu. The debugger is reading symbols from the cargo_nextest binary in the target/debug/deps directory. The prompt shows '(gdb)' ready for debugging commands.
Just released cargo-nextest 0.9.113, with support for a long-requested feature that I realized I needed all of a sudden: debugger support! Run individual tests under gdb, lldb, WinDbg, or Visual Studio Code via CodeLLDB! This preserves all the environment setup done by nextest.

Lol. I'm glad we know how to speak english! I'm going to find out what an informations (sigular) is.
Who is noreply? They seem to be employed by every company I interact with. Noreply must be one talented employee to have so many jobs. They never respond to my emails though. It's kind of sad.
Is there a rule of the universe that causes all of the leaf blowers to start all at once whenever I try to do important work?
#blindBirding While many birds make sounds , in many cases, seeing the bird can help with identification and tracking individuals. There's so many different sounds even the same species make. In my area, I'm always impressed with how many sounds house finches and red winged blackbirds make.

Land and People; A Living System Among the many amazing scientific discoveries of the past few decades, one of the most beautiful is that Earth is, in some sense, alive! We humans are a part of a vast physiology that includes organisms, rock, water and air. All living things adapt to and change Earth's physiology over time. Human civilization is changing many aspects of Earth's physiology including nutrient cycles, the diversity of organisms that make up the system and even the climate. In this light, "sustainability" might be seen in a new light: can we design human systems to be most compatible with the nature of Earth's physiology that our civilization "grew up in?" Can we minimize our community's negative impacts on living systems and also be quickly adaptive when necessary- City of enabling us to react in healthy ways to the changes we Lafayette create? OPEN SPACE When human beings went to outer space and took pictures back of Earth, we becamequite literally the conscious awareness of the planet! The science that paralleled space exploration and went with us into space has made us aware that we are part of Earth's living system. Our lives are a part of the thin, blue film at Earth's surface! In many ways, our modern science is thus rediscovering what all of many cultures have known for millennia-instinctively and through story. We are a part of life! When we return our focus "down to Earth," we can rediscover how our ancestors came to know themselves as part of Earth's physiology. We observe the seasons and our relationship to the Sun's energy. We sense and scientifically verify how our breathing intertwined with the breath of not only all other organisms, but with that of the rock, water and air! Where does this awareness lead us? How does it affect our view of ourselves .. of sustainable human culture?
Found this sign by a bird sanctuary at Wanaka Lake in Lafayette, CO.
wow. I just encountered my first ever experience with an Ai making a spelling error. it wrote unwraped rather than writing unwrapped.
On this wonderful day, I am unbelievably excited to announce a brand new product! But working on this one for a while! 😀 derekriemer.com/posts/2025/0...
I just discovered Duduk music, from Armenia. Here's a really interesting piece. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Teeo... & si = kWopXc1jMNL2_SQG
I wanted to be lazy and have an AI write a test for me, to see if it would actually generate valid scaffolding. Nope, in this case it wrote a test that mocked out the unit under test and then tested that the mock did what it was supposed to do. Brilliant!
Hey folks, the sign-up for our @axios.com Boulder newsletter is live. I don't start until the 31st, but you can start signing up now www.axios.com/signup/boulder
I'll be at csun. I got laid off Friday and made last minute travel plans. If you want to meet up and say hi, let me know! #11y @nvaccess.bsky.social
github copilot is a bad junior engineer who only comments obvious things, and screws up the rest.
E.G.
# Defines the RESULTS_FILE constant.
RESULTS_FILE = 'results.csv'
# Opens the file for writing.
foo = aio_open(RESULTS_FILE, 'w')
#writes to it.
foo.write('duh')
#does not bother to close it.
Aren't they both based on open protocols? I haven't used mastidon yet but hear it's a little hard to use.
Grr, another smart cane. Need I say, this is not a product we we need? The cane here is not necessary for this tech, and putting this in a cane is worse than just making a separate device. www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
I wish it had regions oro headings around the posts instead of links, and the at selector for people isn't accessible on web, but it's surprisingly good for a very young app.
@nvaccess.bsky.social hi
