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

Irina Truong is one of the best senior #Python developers I know. Her work is always outstanding and polished. She also contributes to open source: github.com/j-bennet. You want her in your team, trust me.

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:

“The 411 on 4.1.1”

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

Think I've found someone using #OpenAI to post answers to a StackExchange site.

"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.

Myslím, že tohle bude as náš problém s notifikacemi, který zde řešíme. Můžete prosím někdo vyzkoušet i na ios nebo v jiné aplikaci jestli je také problém s oznámením. Děkuji 👍

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!

So far, the mushroom crowd have voted for 199 holiday songs to be played on our #countdown. Only trouble is, we're just going to play the top 100. That means your vote could make all the difference to what people hear. Be sure to vote for your top 10 holidays songs. Want a particular song to rank highly? That's fine! Go ahead and tell your friends, colleagues, family and even enemies to vote. Voting is simple and #accessible. MushroomFm.com/countdown2022 #MushroomFM

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

@archos Možná další zajímavá služba, ale toto bude asi nákladné na hosting, paměti to bude chtít hodně.

@Piciok Not everything you want to do may be possible, but everything in Flutter starts with semantic tree. I hope this article helps: didierboelens.com/2018/07/sema….
Also, the general #a11y #flutter documentation can be found here: docs.flutter.dev/development/a…

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.

Ich habe mir gerade mit KeePassXC (keepassxc.org/) einen Passwortmanager auf dem Laptop installiert und werde nun in den nächsten Wochen immer, wenn ich mich irgendwo einlogge, ein neues, sicheres Passwort setzen und dort abspeichern.
Lernen, installieren und einrichten war dank des wirklich sehr hilfreichen Adventskalenders von @digitalcourage nicht kompliziert.

Dann lass mich noch meine liebste Keepass-App für Android in den Ring werfen: Keepass2Android Offline.
Nur nicht von "offline" verwirren lassen! Aus der Nextcloud-App geladen hat man immer die aktuelle DB.

Leider nicht auf F-Droid, aber das Repo von @IzzyOnDroid lohnt sich sowieso 😉
