  3. Es war ein überraschend gute Erfahrung, dass ich eben diesen Trailer für #KarakayaTalkS eben mit "Ton aus" und ohne "Kopfhörer in Laptop und Ohr fummeln" hier im #Büro anschauen und komplett verstehen konnte.
    ...weil direkt #Untertitel da waren!

    Gutes Beispiel für #Barrierefreiheit (oder "weniger Barrieren"), oder?

  5. EU countries turn a blind eye to non-Europeans' struggles for medicines
    Published: 29th January 2024
    Today, EU countries agreed on a renewed EU global health strategy - the EU’s global vision for funding and international cooperation in relation to health.

    In response, Oxfam EU health expert, Piotr Kolczynski, said:

    “In the EU’s Health Commissioner's own words, where you live should not determine whether you live or die. But EU countries only pay heed to these words within Europe’s borders. In the rest of the world, the EU is playing the industry's game and undermining the right to health of the world's poorest people.

    “This new strategy shows that EU countries turn a blind eye to the unequal access to vaccines and medicines, which led to millions of preventable deaths from COVID-19 and other diseases. Their silence on patents and refusal to share technology or know-how shows zero learning from the pandemic. This approach is a barrier for poorer countries that want to foster manufacturing and control medical supplies.

    “Nice-sounding words do nothing to challenge a system increasingly captured by commercial interests and one that puts profits before patients. This EU strategy does nothing to bring us closer to a world where everyone can see a doctor and get treated on time.” oxfam.org/en/press-releases/eu #access2meds #pandemictreaty #COVID19 #EUpol

  6. Why the world’s first pandemic treaty may never happen politico.eu/article/pandemic-t 'A recent draft of the agreement, obtained by POLITICO, indicates that countries have shifted little in their initial positions on key provisions in the text, including on intellectual property rights, sharing information around pathogens, and transfer of technology.' #access2meds #pandemictreaty

  9. Deadly Premonition 2 und die Melancholie des Mittelmaßes

    Normalerweise wiegt die Last eines erfolgreichen Vorgängers bei Videospielen nicht so schwer wie bei anderen Medien – allerdings ist die Deadly Premonition Duologie alles andere als normal. Nirgendwo sonst könnten Verbesserungen zu Problemen werden, aber trotzdem ihren eigenen Charme entfalten.

  10. @lauramh @templetongate @bookstodon I had not heard of Draft2digital; that looks like a pretty good service. Vellum does make some very pretty books.
    But as an old geek I don't like the code it produces. I have only one eye I can read with, and it is none too good, so I edit nearly every ebook I read to make the code dead simple so I can expand it a LOT and still read it. Vellum and other tools make that tough. #Ebooks could be more #accessable, but many are not...

  13. One doesn't have to be a developer or programmer to #contribute to #opensource!

    Here are a few easy ways that I've experienced (and enjoyed) myself:
    - Help train #mozilla's #commonvoice #deepspeech recognition engine with your own voice and ears!
    - Improve #openstreetmap data either via their website's editor or an app such as #streetcomplete.
    - Translate #foss using the platform #crowdin (this morning I translated for #pixelfed!).

    What other #easy and #accessable methods have you used?

    “It is a deadly funding crisis, a global response knocked totally off course. This is a pandemic, and pandemics have no borders,” she said in an interview with the Guardian at the UN international development funding summit this week in Seville, Spain.
