En ihan tiedä, miten lähestyisin asiaa, mutta joka tapauksessa omaa työpaikkaa koskeva lakiesitys on nyt lausuntopalvelussa: lausuntopalvelu.fi/FI/Proposal….

Pitää kai sanoa, että näkemykseni ei välttämättä vastaa työnantajani näkemystä! Tulemme silti tekemään viestintää asiasta tammikuun aikana, koska lausuntoaikaa on 31.1.2025 asti.

Oon töissä Saavutettavuuskirjasto Celiassa, joka tulee yhdistymään Kansallisarkiston ja Varastokirjaston kanssa - tai tarkemmin sanottuna meidät yhdistetään Kansallisarkistoon. Esityksessä Celiaa koskevat lait ja pykälät löytyvät kohdista "Laki Kansallisarkistosta" ja "Laki lukemisesteisten kirjastopalveluista".

Kotuksen yksi ehdotus viraston nimeksi olisi ollut "Arkisto- ja kirjastovirasto" (ihanan virastomainen), joka olisi edes jotenkin kuvastanut muuttuvia tehtäviä.

"Laki Saavutettavuuskirjasto Celiasta" pelkistyy siis "laiksi lukemisesteisten kirjastopalveluista" ja nämä tehtävät siirtyvät Kansallisarkiston hoidettaviksi. Mulle ei ole ihan selvää, miksi tässä tehdään kaksi eri lakia, eikä yhtä lakia Kansallisarkistosta. Mulla on omia uumoiluja syiksi.

Onhan tämä alusta asti ollut aika epätavanomainen yhdistyminen. Kansallisarkiston asiakkaat ovat pitkälti aikuiset tutkijat ja julkisen hallinnon muut tahot.

Celian asiakkaina ovat henkilöt, joilla on lukemisen vaikeuksia ja ikähaitari menee vauvasta vaariin. Voi ihan hyvin puhua haavoittuvimmista ihmisryhmistä. Lukemisen vaikeuksia on monia erilaisia: näkövamma, oppimisen vaikeus, motoriset vaikeudet, ADHD, lukivaikeus... Listaa ei saa tyhjentävästi tehtyä.

Miten nämä henkilöt tulevat löytämään Celian palvelut Kansallisarkiston alta?

Celialla ei tule olemaan erityistä asemaa Kansallisarkiston sisällä. Hallinto, tietotekniikka ja ennen kaikkea budjetit yhdistetään. Pyrkimys on käsittääkseni ollut, että organisaatio rakennetaan alhaalta ylös uudestaan ja eri tehtävät sijoitetaan "luonnollisesti". Miten siis huolehditaan, että Celian palvelut saavat ansaitsemansa rahoituksen?

Celialta myös poistetaan johtokunta, jonka jäsenet ovat olleet eri sidosryhmistä. Vaikka johtokunta onkin ollut ehkä ennen kaikkea muodollinen, niin oon pitänyt sitä tärkeänä linkkinä vammaisalan, lukemisen ja Celian toiminnan välillä.

Sitten on tietenkin omaan työhön ja työnkuvaan liittyvät asiat, jotka ovat ihan hämärän peitossa tällä hetkellä, mutta haluisin kuitenkin ajatella miettiväni enemmän asiakkaiden parasta kuin omaani näillä pohdinnoilla.

Muokkaus: Ai, niin! Kuka tahansa voi antaa lausunnon tästä esityksestä ihan yksityishenkilönä. Kannustan myös jakamaan tietoa asiasta sellaisille ryhmille, joita tämä voisi koskea. Mitä useampi lausuu mielipiteensä, niin sitä parempi.

THE FREEDOMS YOU SURRENDER TODAY ARE THE FREEDOMS YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL NEVER KNOW EXISTED...

You will not recognize this world in two years as it keeps prostituting parts of itself off to this new agenda, inverting reality & worshipping evil, and you will not recognize yourself if you keep selling off parts of your own soul to fit in with it.

The longer we don't comply, the more
desperate they become. The more desperate
they become, the crazier the demands get. The crazier the demands get, the more people wake up.

The more people wake up, the less powerful they become.

This is why it is so important to resist and to continue to wake up as many people as you possibly can.

"Lines are not being drawn here so much as they’re being revealed. One of the roles of the Ben Shapiros of the world, of all right-wing propagandists, is to obfuscate class lines. They feed people hatred for many reasons, including their own prejudices, but the ultimate purpose they serve is getting people to buy into fascist beliefs, which requires abandoning your class in order to support the owning class and their oppressive efforts."

When it comes to non-free firmware I think there's two reasonable positions - treat it like non-free code running on a remote system (suboptimal, outside the scope of current free software priorities) or treat it like software running on the primary CPU (all code on the local system should be free software, no matter where it's running). I think the FSF's position is unreasonable: mjg59.dreamwidth.org/70895.htm…

In the interests of balancing the media's obsession with Reform, here's the Green Party's response to today's announcement by Angela Rayner of a new phase in English devolution....

They suggest, it looks like Labour's devolution is a form that repeats the thrust of centralisation, but diversifies the centralised poles of political power.... a reasonable criticism of how this might well play out.

Nicotine in tobacco brings illness and death to millions of people. Yet nicotine in its pure form has the potential to be a valuable pharmaceutical agent. Nicotine fairly specifically binds to the cholinergic nicotinic gating site on cationic ion channels in receptors throughout the body. This action stimulates the release of a variety of neurotransmitters including especially catecholamines and serotonin

According to S&P more than $2 trillion of commercial real estate mortgages will mature over the next two years.

The average interest rate on maturing loans is only 4.3%. The rate today has doubled, making refinancing challenging. Also, roughly $200 billion of these mortgages are on office properties where the underlying value has collapsed.

The size of the pool of distressed capital is much larger than the subprime mortgage market at its peak in 2005.

After 67 hours of play time and several more watching playthrough and tutorial videos of Oxygen Not Included (2019), I threw the towel again just before getting into space. Getting a near-sustainable base going was nerve-wracking enough, and I've sadly hit my cognitive limit regarding the planning involved in rocketry.

Despite this second abrupt ending, I'm still somewhat proud I finally managed to get to this stage of the game, but it did cost me pretty dearly IRL in terms of obsession-fueled late nights, and it confirmed to me that I'm definitely an implementor and not a designer.

Annie Wells and Meghan Gallacher both sat on the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee which approved a report entitled The Human Rights of Asylum Seekers in Scotland last year in October.

The report said it welcomed schemes which had been piloted and stated the committee “believes that an extension of the existing national concessionary scheme to include all asylum seekers would be transformative and supports the call for country-wide provision.”

I'm not sure anyone at Apple ever actually used Apple Music. My use case is the following:
- I start a radio, mixing songs I added to my library with related songs
- A song I don't have in my library plays, and I happen to like it enough to want to add the song to my library.
- Too bad, the song ended and the radio moved to the next song. The previous button is greyed out, there's no playlist page for this radio, and there's no Listening History available.

I'm absolutely confused by this behavior. Is it a licensing thing where songs can be played as part of a radio for cheaper than if they are presented in an actual playlist, even if it's automatically generated?

White Christians own this Trump presidency as they owned his 2016 Trump presidency. And whatever happens with this presidency, including promised massive cruelty to immigrants and LGBTQ people, they'll own every bit as much as they, a majority of them, owned (but refuse to admit) their defense of slavery, their support of Jim Crow barbarity, and their opposition to civil rights for people of color.

New article on our site: "Stuart DiNenno and 'Kinist' White Nationalism"

atlantaantifa.org/2024/12/16/s…

On Saturday, August 17, 2024, three white nationalists held a demonstration in Dawsonville, Georgia. We discuss the leader of the small protest--Stuart DiNenno of Chamblee, Georgia--and the racist form of Christianity he promotes, "kinism." We also link DiNenno to harassment of Pride events in Burlington, North Carolina.

We are seeking information on the other two white nationists who demonstrated with DiNenno in Georgia, so please get in touch if you can help.
