Finally got a copy of the "Appt Accessibility Handbook"! Loving it! Thanks Quintin!

Looks awesome @janjaapdegroot and Paul! Great job!

You can head to appt.org/en/handbook for downloading a pdf version or ordering a printed copy like this one!

On Independence Day, the New York Times ran an op-ed by a literal right-wing monarchist insisting it's bad to vote and people shouldn't do it.

Also, public records confirm he does vote. He just doesn't want *you* to.

If you needed any further evidence that their "Biden must go" coverage is rooted in hatred of democracy, this should be it.

Co znamená značená cyklistická stezka? 🗺️ Myslel jsem že je to trasa v krajině která lze s vhodným nastaveným převodem projet na kole a že to slouží lidem kteří jsou zde poprvé najít takovou vhodnou trasu. 🚲
Nečekám tedy že potkám schody, úsek kde musím kolo vést a podobně...
Ještě pochopím dočasné stavební omezení, ale tohle nechápu.

@pkotrcka když to kolo povedu přes pole louky lesy, tak to tu definici splní taky. To se nemusí zanášet do mapy

So @ShaunOfTheShed thinks that as a result of the X/Twitter iOS app issue being resolved so quickly, we should rethink the need to demand that there are dedicated #accessibility teams within companies, but what do you think?

You're lucky to have had the issue resolved with a quick fix, but the Android app has been having issues for almost two years now. A dedicated accessibility team is more than a requirement for X. Here's our article regarding the issue. accessibleandroid.com/twitter-…

We're putting out a survey to #Fediverse instance admins, regarding the size, operational costs, and community funding of instances. The survey is very brief, and completely anonymous. We hope to compile this data into a report in the near future.

Wenn ich schon lese "..wurden ein elfjähriger Junge und seine 15-jährige Schwester von einem schnell fahrenden Auto erfasst." schwillt mir der Kamm, steigt mir die Zornesröte ins Gesicht und ich rege mich tierisch auf!

NEIN! Sie wurden von einem jugendlichen Raser mit seinem PKW schlichtweg über den Haufen gefahren. Wann gewöhnt ihr euch mal an, Klartext zu schreiben, Ross und Reiter in aller Deutlichkeit zu benennen?!?1?!1 Es ist auch - sorry, aber ICH schreibe Klartext - scheißegal, ob es sich um einen 3er BWW oder um eine Nuckelpinne handelt. Oder sollen jetzt alle 3er BMW in sippenhaft genommen werden? Beiträge wie der von Herrn Westerhoff lenken die Sicht - absichtlich? - in eine falsche Richtung, lenken vom tatsächlichen Problem ab!

“El poder judicial desempeñó un papel análogo al de los militares contra la II República”

“Se ha escrito mucho del ruido de sables pero poco del de togas. El Poder Judicial desempeñó un papel análogo al de los militares para acabar con la II República”

Rubén Pérez Trujillano habla en su libro 'Jueces contra la República: el poder judicial frente a las reformas republicanas', del sabotaje judicial que sufrió la II República por parte de la judicatura.

Rusáci neumí válčit. Ta tupá horda umí jenom obětovat statisíce lidí, tak dlouho, dokud nedojdou lidi protivníkovi. Dělali to kdysi a dělají to furt. A zaslouží si jednou provždy prohrát všechno.

Algorytmy YT podpowiedziały mi film z krótką analizą, czemu muzyka jest coraz gorsza:
1. bo coraz łatwiej ją tworzyć
2. bo coraz łatwiej jej słuchać (za miesiąc dostępu do prawie całej muzyki świata zapłacimy mniej niż za płytę)

Więc de facto nikt jej nie ceni.

It's a pleasure. It seems that Narrator does it properly. Not sure about JAWS though.
in reply to Amir

I know how Narrator grabs some information off screen is different to how we do it - so knowing that Narrator works is useful in that we know it CAN be accessed correctly - but whether it is because they have specifically worked around a bug in Notepad or DON'T have a particular processing bug NVDA does.... or whether it is simply that they are collecting the same informatin in a different way is harder to know. Either way, thanks for all your help :)


We do have to keep ourselves awake, of course. 1 result early doesn't mean the other 649 will appear within minutes. The phrase 'double-pronged penis' is not something one ever really wants to come across, is it? But the article is on my list to stop me drifting off when I've maxed-out on the coffee ...
