a sad story with happy ending:
back in 1995, in the netscape days, there was this little site called Betrayal at Krondor Help Web. some icelandic guy did the thankless job of mapping every treasure chest, enemy, dirt pile, maze, and moredhel chest puzzle solution. i visited and used it for decades.

Professor Eysteinn Björnsson updated that #retrogaming site for 25 years, until he unexpectedly died in 2021. i am honoured to now host it in his memory in perpetuity at dimwood.net

We live in incredible times.
Humans can do incredible things.

We can, for example, watch "Artemis I Close Flyby of the Moon" live on YouTube

It shouldn't be so hard to reimagine our social and economic structure to ensure our survival.

People, stop saying "just self publish" when writers share their stress about querying. They know self-publishing exists. They've chosen to query agents/publishers for a reason. Self-publishing is difficult and expensive; you are starting your own business if you choose to go that route. Not everyone wants to, has the capacity to, or can afford it. #Writing #Publishing

Someone please convince me how JAWS Connect isn’t akin to screen reader detection? If you inject a link in to a page on load based on JAWS usage and nag folks with specific messaging, how is this not targeting a subset of users based on their assistive technology? It’s one thing to provide a feedback mechanism for folks visiting your site. It’s something else when you inject a link that doesn’t appear in the tab order and is based on specific screen reader use.

Appeareance of images attached to a post


Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile… Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:

Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:

  • It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
  • Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)


My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:

I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.

But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!

Love this view of Organizational Debt

What is the minimum viable constraint on a complex system that allows the good stuff to emerge, and where are you over constrained and servicing constraints?

Kyle Rankin (@kyle), President of Purism, talks to CNBC about how Librem 5 USA📱 is built mindfully towards a secure supply chain. “At Purism we think data is uranium, so we treat it like a radioactive substance where we collect as little of it as humanly possible. Every extra link you add to the supply chain is an extra opportunity for someone to inject themselves in that supply chain and tamper with things.” Get the full context ➡️ puri.sm/posts/how-purism-is-ad…

Hey @yatil - I came across your #accessibility in the #fediverse post: yatil.net/blog/accessibility-i…

I'm currently working on a #chess game that can be played over Mastodon, and I'm keen for it to be as good an experience as it can be for everyone. I've done some research, have a prototype, and now I feel like I can start talking to users...

Would you be willing to offer your thoughts, and could you recommend a few people I could email or chat to?

obsessed with this article by the Android team. just looking at the graphs it's like "rust go up, exploits go down" security.googleblog.com/2022/1…

Godot Engine 4.0 is approaching release, future plans detailed gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/godo… #GameDev #OpenSource

Tusky 20.0 (a Mastodon client for Android) is out! It's live on Google Play + F-Droid now.

I helped with this release:

- I added (with help) a "focus" dialog that lets you set the focus point on an image attachment, like the web client has
- If you're logged in on more than one account it now shows your account name in the title bar. I didn't do that. I added a preference to turn it off since it's personally not useful to me… ^_^

There are other new features too, see:

#Tusky 20 is out! 💙
It is already available via Google Play, F-Droid should follow soon!
Here is the full changelog: github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/rele…
Enjoy ^_^
