Notes from Nerdsville.
Since I started watching all the classic Doctor Who espisodes in order, I've come to appreciate the quiet horror of the first Cybermen.
With minimal paraphernalia, and face coverings like bandages, they're easily the most creepy, evoking the sort of body horror their increasingly shiny descendants have lost. The weird, elongated pronunciation adds to the effect.

This coming Friday, July 26th, is the one year birthday of a major accessibility issue in documentation for website developers being pointed out, and little has been done.
Let's put it to bed without birthday cake.
Brain cancer has removed my ability to help, but I hope it's possible. If you've written HTML or CSS take the time to read over the issue, this is important.
Boosts appreciated π

1. I don't like the direction the new owners are taking it what with it being a web app, and I do worry that eventually the classic version is going to simply stop working with some future Windows update. We already have the occasional odd glitch here and there.
2. Foobar seems to be still actively maintained, and has fooRun for extended shell integration. And the possibility for hotkeys to switch outputs
Cynicism is easy. And it's understandable. Life is hard, made harder by people in power who only serve themselves. So I get it. But every real life activist I've ever met, every longtime volunteer or long-suffering advocate, was ultimately an optimist. It's like being a gardener. You don't plant a seed unless you expect, or at least hope for, a future capable of growing a plant.
Hope takes a lot more work than cynicism. But it's also smarter, cooler, and a hell of a lot more useful.
I grew up in the eighties, which means, above all else, two things.
One, I grew up firmly believing that cynicism was smart and cool. All my favorite media hammered home that message. Hope was for Disney princesses. Cool kids were sad.
Two, I thought I was going to die in a nuclear war. And not abstractly or theoretically or some far off future. We legitimately thought that any random Tuesday, the world would end.
Things can get worse. But they can also get better, and with work, often do.
