@CiaraNi for those who don't want to use products or services supporting the war crimes in the Middle East and want a warning when opening such a website, i can warmly recommend TheWall app for chrome browsers and for Android https://the-wall.win/
You can choose not to warn for a month, or to put sites on a whitelist.@danie1 Good to know about - thanks for the link

@darkerknight Thanks for the tip. Good to know the option is there. I have chosen in this case to avoid workarounds. I have deleted their app.

@CiaraNi I have long since ceased to understand why people continue to use META products or hang out on X. There are plenty of alternatives. Meanwhile, the companies in question continue to support Trump and ICE with both data and financial backing, and they also use those platforms to influence people.
They literally help fascists come to power and then complain about it or are shocked by the actions of fascists. Incomprehensible!
@AccordingtoWouter It's all such a frustrating mess

@Gina @agturcz @CiaraNi @fdroidorg @bo or they could just do a responsive web site rather than have to develop two mobile phone apps for Google/Apple. Far easier for everyone.
@zymurgic Yes, agreed

Such an interesting point. I have an issue with public announcements made on (and sometimes only made on) Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account (never have). On my phone, I can't even see the 1st page of a Facebook account. On my computer, I can sometimes see a few posts and a few comments.
@PostcardsFromParadise I have this problem too. Not being on Facebook has social consequences too, we get left out of so much - local groups, sports clubs, resident associations etc. I look forward to the day there is an anti-Facebook tipping point.

@CiaraNi Worth looking at EU directives on accessibility e.g. Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services (Text with EEA relevance) https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019L0882 - we might all be relying on the minimum standard set for accessibility yet!
@vinh Interesting. Thanks for the link.

@agnez Yes indeed

@CiaraNi Here in the Netherlands "PIN only" is really a large city thing, and even there it's rare.
I live in a village in the bible belt, and over here it's unthinkable that a shopkeeper would not accept cash.
I have my office in the center of the second largest city in the country, and even there it's rare to find places that don't accept cash. They exist, but the place right next to it will accept it then.
And we have a law coming up next year that makes cash acceptance mandatory.
@kevin That's good to hear - a law making cash acceptance mandatory

@notsoloud @CiaraNi @sindum Måske man skulle finde på noget mere specifikt i stedet for at “submarine” specifikke krav til licenser ind i det?
Det primære må være friheden til at installere en app på det device man ønsker.

@CiaraNi are you using default stock rom?
@GOKUSHRM I don't know what that is

@AccordingtoWouter It's all such a frustrating mess
@CiaraNi And then it makes me happy to see that there are also people like you who do stand up to it 😀

@bo @Gina @agturcz @CiaraNi @fdroidorg yeah, now that would be a great example of a digital public good.
-
@bo @agturcz @CiaraNi @fdroidorg wait so how can Digid be used without Google if you can only get it through the Google Play store?

@pol_9000 @codinghorror OK I'm missing something, why would there be social stigma associated with parental leave?
-
@oblomov @codinghorror I m not sure on the social stigma if it is just part of the normal tax declaration. Not sure about Italy, but here in Luxembourg we have good parental leave (6month for each parent, paid at up to 5 thirds of the minimum wage) and there is no stigma about it.

One time there was a mouse in my old apartment. We saw it scurrying around at times but never saw any other sign of it.
When we moved out, we were emptying out the pantry and pulled out the tray we toss single serving condiments packets in when we get takeout. Every packet of mayo was ripped open and licked clean and evenly other condiment completely untouched.

@eniko i don’t know if any likes mayo…

@pol_9000 @codinghorror I did some calculations on the situation in Italy a few years back, and it would have been quite possible for us. I'm not familiar enough with the US situation to speak about there, especially with the federal vs state system, but from a quick look at the federal budget there's something like 4 T$ devoted to social security &c, which would be what, 1.2K$/person/month if it was an UBI?
-
@pol_9000 @codinghorror (also if you can act on the tax rates, higher priority should be given to making the rich pay their dues through a solid progressive taxation system, which would incidentally increase the cash flow and make it easier to implement an UBI)

@alberto_cottica @mora @FlaviaMarzano sono felice che lo starter pack voci di donne sia stato d'aiuto anche ai maschietti 😄
alla fine mastodon è bello ma trovare le persone è a volte un incubo.
