@richardotomislav Congratulations!
@richardotomislav I hope that you have a nice celebration planned when you're done.
@richardotomislav Good luck. Animation exam?
@design_RG We have one of those, but the spout is on the side. Krisis sticks her head up to it and looks like she's drinking directly from the faucet.
@peterdrake That there is some of that civil engineering mumbo-jumbo.
accessibility, all developers read this
You as a developer need to test and improve your applications support for assistive technologies. The simplest way to do this is to install Orca or NVDA and use your application as normal with a keyboard. If you want advice on this, please direct message me to ask me questions about improving your applications.
@freemo Maybe. But I think there might be more to it. I'll post if and when I get some concrete evidence.
@freemo @Oblivia Folks around here are saying that it's not them. The ward representatives are organizing groups to protect their areas. Dreamhaven is asking for local geeks to help defend the store. Meanwhile, people are seeing folks that they don't recognize. Sometimes Minneapolis is described as "a big small town". People know each other. This is weird.
@freemo This isn't pictures from friends. It's more official. But both the St. Paul mayor and the Minneapolis police chief are stating that the folks they are arresting are from out of state.
@freemo I wasn't at the protests. Several friends were. The destruction is verified. Let me see if I can get you some good pictures that haven't spread as far yet.
@freemo I was somewhat selfishly mourning the loss of a bookstore. I do not mean to make light of the loss of lives.
@freemo The problem with it being a group of folks out of town, is that while the locals were gathering, yelling, and damaging a couple of chain stores, the out-of-towners destroyed Mom & Pop shops, drug stores, the post office, and a gas station amidst a residential neighborhood. The latter group is rendering a poor neighborhood completely unlivable. Grocery stores are shut. Buses have stopped their routes. And several of those local protesters were physically trying to defend the local shops. It is two, very different things.
@freemo I know that property is nothing compared to a life, but the arsonists burnt a bookshop that was very loved. No local did that.
Heya. I'm a child of the 80's, engineer, nerd, and frustrated optimist. While well-versed in many of the geeky arcana of topics, I am particularly involved in coding, anime, and JRPGs. Outside of that, I garden on and off, sew, and am actively involved in a long campaign to force myself to get some exercise. I look forward to meeting some new folks and maybe working on some interested projects.
