For my #Blind followers, my Two-year-old just heard me say "Open Seeing AI" to Siri, and is now singing "Open Sseing AI, open Seeing AI, hi ho the dario, open Seeing AI." She still isn't sure what blind means, but she is composing music about our access tech.

The first one is a custom @MapComplete theme, but @MapComplete does more stuff with Wikidata. There biggest (and coolest) integration is mapcomplete.org/etymology; but many themes also show and ask for relevant wikidata items (such as mapcomplete.org/artwork and mapcomplete.org/memorials showing e.g. artists, the article about the artwork or for memorials whom is buried there)


I was very sad to hear the news related to AppleVis yesterday. This site has been a huge resource for the last 14 years.

In 2010 I created a blog called the iAccessibility Report to review iOS apps for accessibility as well, and that site is now just called iAccessibility. iAccessibility is being built to have many of the same community features as AppleVis, so that we can continue to provide resources to those who are wanting to learn more about iOS, and Apple products.

34 hours to travel half-way around the world. 😧

Another 34 hours to be reunited with the luggage. 🙄

Nemyslím, na kole jezdím celkem často. Cyklistiku provozuje čím dál více lidí. Ono i na elektrokole se musí šlapat. Samozřejmě netvrdím, že není hodně lidí obézních a je i pár co jdou na kolo, udělají selfíčko a tím to pro ně končí.

People often confuse how characters feel with what an author is trying to communicate, and it's really frustrating.


Thoughts on the reaction to MHA's ending
With all the screaming and crying about MHA's ending, I'm realizing that some people just can't handle bittersweet endings, or sometimes endings at all.

Thoughts on the reaction to MHA's ending
People get really upset when everything isn't wrapped up in a neat little bow. When a character doesn't succeed in 100% of their goals. To them, trying and failing means there was no point trying at all.

Thoughts on the reaction to MHA's ending
There's also a lot of gnashing of teeth if the main hero isn't revered until the end of time, with every other character constantly singing them praises.

Back in March I scanned through a terabyte of old geocities sites with the goal of finding *all* the 88x31 buttons. Recently, I realised that I didn't scan for all the geocities subsites (e.g. de.geocities.com, br.geocities.com, etc). I've fixed that mistake and have added 1.8k new 88x31 buttons from Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong and many more international sites. Feel free to explore the updated site or download the zipped button archive (31k buttons, 156MB)

Gente indignada porque en Galicia llueve en verano. Este año apenas se ha visto el sol.

Esto es el norte, amigos. Cuando veníais aquí "por el fresquito" iba en el pack. Que os haya coincidido unos años geniales tras la pandemia, que es cuando se puso de moda, no quiere decir que sea la norma.

Toda la vida fue así. Si no os gusta la lluvia el norte no es para vosotros. No se puede pretender tener sol y 23 grados como si esto fuera un climatizador a voluntad. A veces coincide, a veces no.

A ver, este invierno fue eterno. Duró prácticamente hasta julio. Eso tampoco es normal. Ahora por suerte ya podemos decir que hay verano.




The End of an Era: A Message From the Founder as We Announce the Closure of AppleVis | AppleVis applevis.com/blog/end-era-mess…

in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Není to úplně pravda. Zbytečný negativismus a plýtvání životem?
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Právě, že to chápu. Taky mám občas takový období, kdy mě všechno a všichni serou. Naštěstí stačí udělat nějakou zhovadilost jako si koupit kyblík smaženejch kuřat nebo si dát pivo a během pár dní to samo odezní.

Deprese nebo propady v náladách máme jednou za čas všichni. Jenom je dvousečný to psát online, protože se potom vždycky objeví nějakej rozumbrada, kterej na klinickej problém doporučí si jít zaběhat nebo zacvičit. To se mi potom plaší kladiva, když to čtu a je to jako kdyby tě někdo píchal špendlíkama do očí.

Jako člověk, co se s depresí léčil ale musim potvrdit, že tohle dost významně pomáhá :)
in reply to Schmaker

chápem.. pohyb pomáha ale denne urobím ~30km v práci (čo ma relatívne baví a robí mi peniaze), to je okej. Posledné dni sa zase opäť zamýšľam prečo som sám a nenachádzam odpoveď. Keď počúvam cudzie rozhovory a chovanie sa niektorých párov voči sebe tak to nechápem ešte viac. Bývanie ma prestalo "utešovať", peniaze tiež, alkohol pijem ale moc z neho nemám. Pozitívne ale je, že začínám mať pár ľudí s ktorými sa dá u piva pokecať, čo som dlho nemal.

In 2022 I became #curl's 1000th commit author and was congratulated as such until I had to confess to @bagder that I wasn't: I had used two distinct email addresses and was thus only the 999th.

The record (daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/30…) doesn't reflect this, but it is my #sundayConfession

in reply to JP Mens

Contributing to the curl project is a career booster.
Our lead Enterprise Architect was awestruck when he saw the "NASA 2020 Mars helicopter" badge on my Github profile. That became how he'd introduce me to others...

I'm sure you are not the only one counted more than once. Water under the bridge by now though as we count 1288 authors.

Catholics, others respond to mockery of Last Supper at Paris Olympics

My brothers both have a Nintendo Switch. So I'm mildly curious about that platform. One of my brothers showed me his, and it seems to boot to the home screen pretty fast (like two or three seconds), assuming that's a cold boot and not waking from sleep mode. I'm torn between admiration for the Switch system software team, developing a lean and mean OS of their own, and dismay that it has zero accessibility for totally blind people. There's still no screen reader on the Switch, right?
in reply to Evdog1245

@Evdog1245 Oh damn, disappointed about the 30-second cold boot. I wanted to believe that somebody still cared enough about efficiency to do better.
in reply to Matt Campbell

Yeah, it definitely seem like a pretty long time from when I press and held the power button, to when I heard the little chime that plays when the home screen comes up. And this was a switch light but I don’t think it has a lower quality processor. I’m actually curious how long it would take to boot up a brand new switch, it actually plays a really cool boot up sound on first w boot when the set up screen comes up.


Whoa! I just found something Orca can do that NVDA can't. In Firefox, Orca supports the standard find command. Press ctrl-f, type, hit escape to close the search dialog, and Orca's focus is where the search result is. NVDA and, to my knowledge, Jaws both require screen reader searches and don't work with ctrl-f.
in reply to Alex Hall

it's worse than that. JAWS takes over CTRL+F so people don't know the difference.

Not that with JAWS the browser find is overly useful, but it's the idea of just hiding something mainstream that bothers me.

Returned them and bought @pluralistic's Radicalized instead [1].

As usual great post from @yatil yatil.net/blog/the-infuriating…

Fixing issues in development is way cheaper for sure. Wish #NIST had some values for fixing issues upstream? So many problems could be fixed (I think) if we pushed to fix accessibility issues in the software that we use.

Open source is a big part of the internet. Almost everything includes some open source packages. How do we get folks contributing beyond the scope of their project?




My favorite conspiracy theory about the #Paris2024 Olympics is still that the only reason the opening ceremony is not being held in a stadium is so Macron can avoid being booed by 100,000 people on a worldwide broadcast 🤓

#фалыстыннаш

когда унылая лошадь говорит что хамас нельзя уничтожить - это неправда. точно так же можно было бы говорить что немецкий нацизм нельзя уничтожить. но его уничтожили.

но конечно без первого этапа - уничтожения военного потенциала - обойтись ни как нельзя.

in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion я не вижу ни чего дурного в том что палестинские арабы хотят свое государство, хотят участвовать в олимпиаде и пр. Они имеют на это право если не ставят себе целью уничтожить Израиль и убивать евреев. Если спортсмены выступают без лозунгов хамас - это ок.
in reply to Galactic Jew 🇮🇱

Согласен. Просто я не видел особо бурного протеста палестинцев против того, что творит Хамас. Но опять же, я не читаю по-арабски и только начинаю учить иврит.
in reply to André Polykanine

нет такого протеста, наоборот - широкая поддержка.

но это вопрос очень сложный, из чего эта поддержка состоит. насколько тут играет роль тот самый «социально одобряемый ответ»

возвращаясь же к истории немцы тоже поддерживали гитлера. и эта проблема решается. если ее решать.

Hello, world!

We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.

We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.

We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.
