So let’s see if Mastodon can be used to find jobs. Please boost for visibility! 🙏

Unfortunately she was part of the 13% recently laid off by #Elastic. This is your luck! She’s now open to work: linkedin.com/in/irinatruong

Mastodon is “too hard…not user friendly…there’s nobody like me there.” Look, I’m from the old school who had to learn that thing that looked like a TV and a typewriter. And you had to type these long letters & numbers called URL. To get around you had to use something called a mouse that clicked on text called links. Where you said to your best bud so many times, Sis, what’s an internet??? Trust & believe, if we really want to, YES WE CAN.

In this Substack post, I interviewed my agent about how he chose which editors to send my novel manuscript to (and his sub lists are #diverse in a way the #publishing industry often isn't, and the novel eventually drew three publishers to an auction). I also share thoughts on revising to prepare for this process. Hope it's helpful!

@blindscribe That is a great strategy! A writer friend who also published with an indie press (Chaney Kwak, THE PASSENGER) did something similar in order to secure the best support for his book that he could. It turned out beautifully.

I'm working with an indie publicist and also feel like the publisher's in-house team is excellent. I'll definitely be posting more about this in the coming weeks/months!

With WCAG SC 4.1.1 Parsing maybe going away in WCAG 2.2, I wrote how I think other SCs will (already) cover for the narrow 4.1.1 bits:

This is *not* my opinion on the current wording nor argument for removal. #a11y

There is a non-zero chance that WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.1 Parsing will go away in WCAG 2.2. This isn’t a problem for users, regardless of the problems it may pose for the WCAG process, ACT rules, automated testing tools, or ossified testing proces…

In most movies that feature time travel, traveling back in time is instantaneous or takes just a few seconds, regardless of how long ago a person travels back. The exceptions I know of are two of my

"Here’s the thing, though: the system will frequently give the wrong answers * the real skill in the homework assignment will be in verifying the answers the system churns out — learning how to be a verifier and an editor, instead of a regurgitator.

What is compelling about this new skillset is that it isn’t simply a capability that will be increasingly important in an AI-dominated world: it’s a skillset that is incredibly valuable today. "

#LibreOffice (@libreoffice) has been my go-to document creation software for over a year now, and I've been thrilled by just how good Writer is. (I'm less of a fan of Impress, the presentation software, but that's for another day.)

Whether it's "good enough" to replace Microsoft Word is a matter of personal choice but, for me, it has done exactly that.

Braille!
I know that the below post might sound random but here goes.
The Unicode braille block starts from U+2800. The U+2800 character himself is a so called “blank braille pattern” which translates to a space sign in most cases. Stuff get more interesting if you want to make a braille pattern. In computer braille (8 dots) there are 256 possible patterns, it sounds like a byte, right? Right! Cause if you want to make a braille pattern, you just at a byte to the base character U+2800 as we already discussed. The bits in this byte are encoded in column order, so that 11100000 is the letter L, and 1101000 is letter F. The exception to this rule are of course dots 7 and 8. They have been added later and so putting them between dot 3 would break the compatibility with existing software. So, to reassume the encoding order is as follows (from bit 0 of the byte)
Dot 1
Dot 2
Dot 3
Dot 4
Dot 5
Dot 6
Dot 7
Dot 8

#Book recommendation! If you are interested in how came that #Putin came to power and how so called putinism developed in contemporary russia this is the book for you. For me its a little bit too anti-russian in its core but still, it opened my eyes for many things. Have a good read!

Today's tune of the day belongs to the band that rocked us all in preparation for yesterday's#WithinTemptation show in Gliwice. Great to hear that the European metalcore scene, if that's the right way to call it, is doing alright. They are also competing in next year's #Melodifestivalen and are thus in the runing for a chance to represent #Sweden at the next year's #Eurovision. Keeping my fingers crossed. ESC needs more metal. - Smash Into Pieces - Running Away From Home - youtu.be/lKbYcoi5lFQ

Something that has worked really well for librsvg - and now I'm happy to have for at-spi2-core as well - is a development guide for the internals. Not a library manual, but an internals guide.

It's available at gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/a…

I want to make it a good reference for the implementation details of #accessibility - for how the system is built, the roadmap and the cleanups we're doing, how to make toolkits accessible, that sort of thing.

One in ten US deaths last week were due to pneumonia, flu, or COVID-19.

That's about a 50% higher rate than the CDC's epidemic threshold.

Bottom line: this country is in the midst of a severe respiratory disease epidemic that nobody's talking about.
