Covid is still here. It is still damaging your immune and vascular systems. Protect others if not yourself, and wear a mask.

This is my friend’s neighbour. She is 104! And still maintains her farm house and garden without any help!

I just discovered #asstodon, and I’m going to be busy for the rest of the weekend now! See you later…

This is, what I mostly wake up to. Thanks for that, Josette!
Happy #caturday!

OMG 😱, I forgot #caturday yesterday! Was too busy tiling the kitchen. But cooling off my swollen feet inspired Josette to a new water source. Because why (ever) drink out of a bowl of fresh water when you can have flower pots, puddles or feet water?!

Then you can just blame it on someone or something else. 🤬

I agree. You can’t compare NL and F in that regard. But public transport should be seen as a public service and not a commercial success primarily, IMO.
Even in a very remote area in D would there at least be a bus once in a while.
Here there is just nothing. We are trying French countryside without a car and it is a real challenge, even along a „major“ TER line, which half the time is out of order with zero replacement.

In my almost 50 years as a native German, living a good chunk of that time in the country, I have never used that term nor heard it in action. Doesn’t take away from its pointed meaning. But I was surprised to learn it’s a hit export now 😜.

Just yesterday I was informed by my health insurance they gave all my data to a third party that got hacked. They don’t know what really got stolen or who is affected. Potentially the criminals now have my address, email, login, phone, social security no, and sensitive health data!
Will the company even be fined, as long as they declared the issue?
While worst case I will be dealing with fraud attempts for years…
I am all for GDPR, but it needs to be enforced and strengthened!

I actually studied modelism for a year. That’s how I learnt it. The other option is to take a garment you like and that fits well and „copy“ the pattern from that.
RE: @tomkindlon@disabled.social
The fact itself is no surprise to anyone following the topic, but that more than 18% on women and 20% of men with long COVID had cardiovascular events is rather scary. And we are talking „just a cold“ level of acute infection.
Today is supposedly the #heatwave peak here in France. And having had almost two full weeks of above 35°C and very warm nights means that the 55cm thick stone walls are bunking masses of heat and it will take days to cool down a bit indoors. But then most of July is announced to stay above 25°C, more like 28°C.
It also means little and only low quality sleep with regular migraines. This is definitely my most intense heatwave, yet. And I fear it’s only the beginning 😥.

„Gedöns“, a German dialect word from Cologne, describing „things“ in a slightly derogatory manner. Maybe comparable with „stuff“ but not limited to physical objects. It can also describe over the top thoughts or anything that really is more in the way than necessary.
In English I would also say „serendipity“. I haven’t found an equivalent in other languages to describe this beautiful circumstantialness.

⬆️ This, and maybe even individual transportation in general. There is a lot of room for improvement on the public transport sector here…

@streetartutopia@mastodon.online This is where our cats usually sit on warmer days. We figured we make some snow placeholders in the meantime.
My jaw dropped and I can’t get over the fact that teenage boys raping girls get away with a fine that is less than a parking ticket. What are we teaching them? That there are no consequence to fear! Unbelievable 😡

It is. But the industry was so appalling at the time that I switched with a heavy heart. But it’s a really handy life skill :).

Very interesting points.
I became an in-house expert because it was a legal obligation to pass an audit. Loved the topic and was really happy to improve the app significantly that way. External consultants helped our team and trained us.
While the software that is exposed was then compliant, all their internal services and products were completely failing on basic levels - and not just for people with diagnosed disabilities.
People forget, it makes services better for everyone!

Zumindest bedarf es dafür einer sehr, sehr guten Datenklassifizierung als Grundlage. Und die Firma, die das wirklich sauber und konsequent umsetzt muss mir noch begegnen…

Um Fahrgastrechte einzufordern? Das ist integriert in dem Screen, wo auch das eigentliche Ticket zu sehen ist. Nach unten Scrollen unter „Weitere Optionen“ und dort kommt dann ein Kontextmenü, wo Du direkt zu der Fahrt die Anfrage stellen kannst.
