TODAY IN SPAIN!

The northern Spanish city of Zaragoza was inundated by a heavy downpour in less than 20 minutes. The fire brigade had to rescue desperate people from their cars.

Here's what I'll do today and it would be great if you would join me.

On the website you're working on today, find a stylesheet and add the following rule.

```
*, *:hover {
cursor: none !important;
}
```

That forces you to use the keyboard. If you find something that makes it hard or impossible to do using the keyboard, fix it! Not just for yourself but for everyone relying on keyboard accessibility.

Edit: fixed code formatting

To je přeci krásné, ne? Já se v dnešní době pomalu mám stydět za to, že jsem ISP jen proto, že někdo na nás ukázal prstem, že ISPci jsou ti špatní (před tím byli operátoři). A tady se to jede ve velkým a všechno cajk... Dnešní svět fakt nechápu.

There is no more famous pirate in East Asia than the woman known in the West as Ching Shih, her true historical name being Zheng Yi Sao, Pirate Queen of the South China Seas. Likely a prostitute who married a well-known pirate, she soon proved a capable commander and soon organized a confederacy of pirates, helping one another against the Qing government and other foes. Taking over for her husband, she proved an even more capable pirate and many flocked to her, women especially, for her egalitarian attitude and redistribution of wealth from the aristocratic Qing Chinese government. Even aided by Portuguese ships, the Chinese could not capture her and could not stop her fleet. At her height, she sailed a fleet of 400 ships with 40 to 60 thousand sailors. When the end came and she surrendered, Zheng Yi Sao could not be killed by the Chinese due to her power and influence, and instead a retirement was negotiated, one that was quite favorable to her and allowed her an easy life: for a pirate career spanning 10 years from 1801 to 1810, that's quite something. She retied to Guangdong, running an infamous gambling house and dying at the comfortable and respectable age of 66 in 1844: hail the Pirate Queen of China! #FairytaleTuesday

Encouraging sighted gamers to try an audio game
Hey sighted gamers, I'm gonna try to get you to step out of your comfort zone a bit. Yes, believe it or not, despite the game I'm about to promote, this post is not for the blind gamers out there... unless you somehow haven't played it before. Anyway, here goes. While writing my book, I've been tempted to play some games again, and one of them is a game called alt-frequencies. It's a game where the entire story is told in the form of radio broadcasts which you can influence by recording clips from one station and sending them to another. The game is mostly linear, however you can affect the story by sending different clips to different stations, and yes, there are multiple endings. It has minimal graphics, but this game is all about the audio. Sighted gamers, step out of your comfort zone. Try it. It's available on PC, Switch, and mobile, and it's very high-quality. If you want more recommendations, I've got those too. Thanks for reading!

"Death glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond" de Tamara Kneese.

Desde los primeros días de Internet las personas han muerto y llorado en línea. En rincones tranquilos de iteraciones pasadas de la web, los muertos persisten. Pero los intentos de preservar los datos de los muertos a menudo fracasan, ya que los sitios web y los dispositivos se deterioran y mueren, al igual que las personas.

My understanding is that GUIs are usually worse than TUIs for #blind users. Sadly, I don't know of any #TUI for #OpenWRT (well, there's the command line, obviously, and there's a class-project over at github.com/mattacwilson/OpenWR…, but that's no replacement for LuCI 😞​)

Hey designers, don’t prescribe screen reader pronunciation.

Hey devs, don’t override screen reader pronunciation.

Vale, pero aparte de los ERTE, la disminución de la temporalidad, el Ingreso Mínimo Vital, la subida del SMI, el récord de afiliación a la Seguridad Social, la contención del precio de la energía y la inflación, el impuesto a las grandes fortunas, la primera ley de vivienda, poner el consentimiento en el centro de los delitos contra la libertad sexual y las medidas sobre la salud reproductiva o los derechos LGTBI+,¿qué ha hecho el gobierno progresista por nosotros?

#Tusky 23.0 beta 2 has just been released, containing some small bug fixes since beta 1.

Classical music played by a model train. The train has hammers attached to it and passes glasses of water, tuned to the appropriate pitch. As far as I am aware off, they set a world record with this. youtu.be/aBNHmUT3GPg

So like...

Remember how Finland had #nazi minister #Junnila not too long ago?

Well, his replacement has made jokes about himself being a nazi while visiting a nazi memorial in Germany.

The guy's also involved in grooming and coercing of minors.

...And now the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation is looking into him detailing classified details of the victims in his case in his book... In which he claims he's a martyr, basically.

Shit's bad.
