Under the ADA, state and local governments, public schools, community colleges, and public universities will soon have to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA. Depending on the size of the population served, entities have until April 2026 and April 2027 to comply.

Fun with Codex this weekend.
Updated my goofy little AI Space game, now renamed Space Junk. Now invaders will move around as they fall on higher levels, also centralized a lot of game logic between this and the music scale game. i.e. screen reader buffers, music/game volume.
Goal is to build on this structure and add more silly little timewasters. Ideas welcome.

There should be a law that prohibits online service companies from *requiring* phone numbers to create an account. Have you noticed how difficult it is to sign up for any online service these days unless you have a phone number? Why do I have to pay a subscription to a third party to use your service? Why is a tithe to a phone company a requirement to access your online product?

Really like this version of All Too Well by Taylor Swift. Kinda reminds me of #christmas for some reason, no idea why. youtu.be/6gQRGcMlOQI?si=5USjo5…

Today I checked elementary OS's website, because I was curious if elementary OS 8.1 had released yet. And nothing. It turns out I just checked two hours early, because it just released right now!

It brings fractional display scaling. Finally! I have been whining about this for way too long. And now it's here. The Wayland session is now the default session, and a lot of other goodies, and as always with elementary, a huge focus on accessibility, which couldn't be a bigger deal.

Huge props to the @elementary team, and congratulations to them!

My laptop is giving me the side-eye right now. It knows what's about to happen. :D

(Please don't assotiate me with the development or lead of the product, I just decided to post it as I saw it.)

I've considered doing a pre-recorded Let's Play of RimWorld where I describe how the game works, and as much of the mechanics as I can. that being said, I imagine the mod will get updates and so some older videos may be slightly out of date. I've got a post running with a poll asking if people would be interested in a Let's play. The poll is split exactly 50 percent down the middle. Please vote if you haven't already. youtube.com/post/UgkxNZKLfQ_oO…
