Ollie (Block Theme): Untermenüs per Hover statt Klick aktivieren
Wer das WordPress-Blocktheme Ollie verwendet, wird schnell bemerken: Bei Untermenüs im Navigationsblock muss man zunächst auf den übergeordneten Menüpunkt klicken, bevor sich das Untermenü öffnet. Das unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen Themes (z. B. Twenty Twenty-Five), bei denen ein einfaches Hovern mit der Maus ausreicht. In diesem Beitrag zeige ich, wie man dieses Verhalten direkt im Code-Editor des Block-Editors ändert.

H/T @ Jennifer Psillas, GISP | GIS Project Manager at City of Tucson Parks and Recreation
“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

#Fahrradnavigation - suche apps für grapheneOS, OsmAnd läuft flüssig 😄 macht was ich brauche 👍
Besonders gefällt, daß ich über Routenparameter (Wege neben) Haupstraßen vermeiden kann. Bei den letzten 3 Routen ist genau die Strecke rausgekommen, wie ich sie mir wünsche: Ruhig, wenig Autos, viel Natur, trotzdem relativ kurz, gradlinig und ohne Umwege.
Tipps für andere #FOSS apps sind willkommen.

After about 5 years we finally did it, the next version of #navit is released now!
https://github.com/navit-gps/navit/releases/tag/v0.5.7
It brings loads of bug fixes and also some new features :)
For everyone reading who doesn't know what Navit is, it's a fully offline #openstreetmap based #navigation software for many different systems. With #geoclue it also works well on #mobilelinux. But we also have an app for #android.
The docs can be found here:

Weekly output: Google’s live lane guidance, Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoils
LISBON–I traveled here to speak at my ninth Web Summit conference in Europe via another EU city that I’m quite fond of, Barcelona. The Mozilla Foundation had the good taste to host its Mozilla Festival there and then provide me with a travel stipend to cover the event, so of course I was willing to start my Web Summit trip a few days early. Even though that left me little time at home between working a 15-hour day Tuesday as an election officer and then heading to Dulles Airport Wednesday afternoon.
11/4/2025: Safe to Go? Google Maps Adds ‘Live Lane Guidance’ for Polestar 4 EVs, PCMag
PCMag had two stories under my byline this week, and this was the one I actually wrote this week to cover an update to the built-in Google navigation in one of Polestar’s battery-electric vehicles. The other involved my editor updating a post I wrote in May about President Trump withdrawing his nomination of private astronaut and payments billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, the new plot twist being that Trump had changed his mind again and had re-nominated Isaacman. I realize how confusing that last sentence can look.
11/7/2025: This battery-electric hydrofoil could supercharge a ferry transformation, Fast Company
Two years after getting an introduction to the Swedish startup Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoil sport boats on the San Francisco Bay, I enjoyed an update of the experience on waters I know much better–the Potomac and the Anacostia. With a longer word count than I had for that PCMag report in the summer of 2023, I went into much more detail about Candela’s ambitions to get into the passenger-ferry business, its likely competition in that market, and potential obstacles to electrifying ferries.
