I've been thinking a lot about bakcground audio in apps lately.
As an experiment today, I tried a gentle rainfall sound in my earphones with more thunder the further down my inbox I was. So as messages came in and I didn't move up to read them, more and more thunder worked its way into the ambient mix.
I'll keep doing it on-and-off and check the metrics of my Inbox usage with and without to see any impact.
Slavie teď o víkendu, myslím překonala fakt vše. To muselo dát práce, neskutečný.

TOP chorea: invaze na Hanou, Tribuna Sever i Chachaři. Které je NEJ?
Největší choreografie v historii českého fotbalu. Fanoušci Slavie se o víkendu předvedli s velkou parádou při oslavě výročí 132 let od vzniku klubu. Jejich nápaditá plachta i velká ohňostrojová show oblétla celý fotbalový svět.Petr Fantyš (iSport.blesk.cz)
To end a call in Teams you can press CTRL+shift+h. H for hang up. Sensible.
To start a voice or video call in slack, you can press CTRL+shift+h. H for huddle. Sensible, sort of.
if you try to hang up in Teams after someone else has done so, you might end up unintentionally huddling in Slack. Not sensible.
@JustinMac84 I've not had any of those issues I'm afraid, although the interface generally feels uncomfortable in lots of spots.
Which screen reader are you running with?
I wonder if there's a difference for home and workplace use? I know they used to have a classic and new Teams, as well as a personal and business one...
"What do you call an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl?"
See? Sometimes 'alcohol' IS the answer!

A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.
It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.
Total cost: £10 + return postage.
They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn't have to pay a penny before the job was done.
A product that's been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.
I'm stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.

it's been 9 months since I started my new job. my most used keystrokes are now
alt+shift+up or down to move to an unread slack channel,
CTRL+shift+4 in slack to see what I've marked for later
And ctrl+. in outlook to see when my next appointment is.
it's very different to teaching, working in digital accessibility. I miss the students coming through my door with problems technological and questions most personal, and the colleagues happy to learn new things and see just how capable blindness can make someone.
But I am part of a solid, supportive team, have a wonderful manager who interacts with me more than once a half term and company leadership seem to care about accessibility. all good wins.

Mastodon: oh cool, you're here
Blue sky: I am so unique!
Mastodon: we have sheepherders have you met them? There cool people
Blue sky: *shows all the pets*
Mastodon: *shows all the pets*
Was mir an #Thüringen gefällt?
Seit 2019 ist der #Weltkindertag in Thüringen gesetzlicher Feiertag.
Meines Wissens gibt es kein anderes Bundesland, dass #Kinder in dieser Weise wertschätzt.

Innere Stadt: Im "Metalab" wird Platz für Projekte und Tratsch gemacht - Innere Stadt

"You need a lot of things to travel through the universe.... but most of all, you need a hand to hold."
Even more true today than in 2006.
And yes, I did just quote #DoctorWho 's episode Fear Her.
It really disheartens me to see think pieces and social media posts about asinine stuff like the Magic Mouse charging port or the Mac mini’s power button.
Everybody navel-gazing and playing wannabe designer.
Anything accessibility-related? It’s platitudes and GEE WHIZ all the way down.
