One thing I think about is how flat-earth types could convince themselves, without having to trust anyone, their model of the earth is wrong. I don't think the earth is flat, but it is an interesting problem in #epistemology.
A model needs to explain observations if it is to be believed.
Lately, I've been thinking about day length as seasons change, and how cycle is opposit…

For 5 years now I've been learning about web accessibility and reviewing websites. But I'm not a native screen reader user, and my mobile app experience is lacking.
This month I learned about "Accessibility Actions" or "actions available" for VoiceOver and TalkBack. I shoulda known about it for years-- it makes navigation by swiping potentially much quicker.
Would you be willing to share your thoughts and experiences with this feature?

Some activities recover faster than others after crises
WHY?
To answer this question, we've divided the Swiss population in 4 lifestyle typologies using Latent Cluster Analysis:
👨‍👩‍👦 Young rural families
🧓 Low-income retired
🧍 Solo dwellers
👫 Wealthy couples
We've also developed a typology of activities covering possible interactions between crises and activities:
👉 Constrained/unconstrained
👉 Indoor/outdoor
👉 Social/solitary

4. Seiya a punto de madreaserlo, Ikki no se arrepiente de nada

What's the path of least resistance to archive reddit.com threads that are somehow still online?
I've seen that web.archive.org and archive.is can get blocked by reddit's bot detection, and even if not, they don't archive all the permalinks to nested comments etc.

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

A paragraph of text in black, red and blue. Each line ends with a particular color, and the next line starts with that same color, fading into a different color across the line.

The paragraph reads:

Suffering from screen fatigue? We’re here to help! BeeLine Reader makes reading on-screen easier, faster, and more enjoyable. We use a simple cognitive trick — an eye-guiding color gradient — to pull your eyes through long blocks of text. This helps you read more effectively and maintain your focu…
