The End of an Era: A Message From the Founder as We Announce the Closure of AppleVis | AppleVis applevis.com/blog/end-era-mess…

The End of an Era: A Message From the Founder as We Announce the Closure of AppleVis | AppleVis

Dear AppleVis Community, It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that after careful consideration I have made the difficult decision to step down from my responsibilities with AppleVis.

In 2022 I became #curl's 1000th commit author and was congratulated as such until I had to confess to @bagder that I wasn't: I had used two distinct email addresses and was thus only the 999th.

The record (daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/30…) doesn't reflect this, but it is my #sundayConfession

We tried to buy an ebook... it was DRM protected and required some weird adobe ID and installing some obscure calibre plugins to maybe eventually be able to read it.

Returned them and bought @pluralistic's Radicalized instead [1].

As usual great post from @yatil yatil.net/blog/the-infuriating…

Fixing issues in development is way cheaper for sure. Wish #NIST had some values for fixing issues upstream? So many problems could be fixed (I think) if we pushed to fix accessibility issues in the software that we use.

Open source is a big part of the internet. Almost everything includes some open source packages. How do we get folks contributing beyond the scope of their project?


The infuriating inefficiency of accessibility audits · Eric Eggert

Accessibility audits are the bread and butter of every accessibility consultancy. It’s an easy to package product that clients have learned to ask for and buy. They have expectations on the deliverables and the form of an audit.

Hello, world!

We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.

We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.

We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.

A Jeol T330A SEM (two pallet-sized modules: a column and a control module) standing in a mostly empty room. Panels from the column module are missing, and cable harnesses are still tied up with painter's tape.

Earlier this cycle Teemu Ikonen added support for displaying track position / length and a progress indicator to #phosh's media player widget 🥳 :
#phosh

👏 more 👏 developers 👏 need 👏 to 👏 hear 👏 this

I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it (prior to coming to me for strategic advice, of course 😉).

You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

(screenshot excerpt from tailscale.com/blog/new-interne…)

Screenshot from Tailscale's blog post with the following text highlighted: "I read a post recently where someone bragged about using kubernetes to scale all the way up to 500,000 page views per month. But that's 0.2 requests per second. I could serve that from my phone, on battery power, and it would spend most of its time asleep."

The New Internet

We don’t talk a lot in public about the big vision for Tailscale, why we’re really here. Usually I prefer to focus on what exists right now, and what we’re going to do in the next few months.

Another example of Communuty Notes on X being useless:

"This is an AI generated video of Vice President Kamala Harris using audio of clips that were never actually stated by the VP,” read one suggested Community Note. “Videos like this are dangerous to those who can not decipher AI generated content from reality.”

X is now basically Gab. Another reason to organize here.

I honestly wish the audio games forum was shutting down instead of @AppleVis but on a more serious note, I'd love the site to be given to the community or archived in some way because this is blindness history and there is no other comparable repository of accessible apps for iOS. Can someone, anyone, talk to David and the team and preserve the apps databases, at least? Give the website to the community, don't just shut it down completely because there's a lot of community value. Shut down the forums, but at least keep the repositories and blog posts alive for as long as the domain and host will last. applevis.com/blog/end-era-mess… #Apple #Blind #Accessibility

Someone still has to pay for the hosting and bandwidth and maintain the system; security updates, etc. And even if someone else offered to do it, the AppleVis folks have to trust that they'll do a good job and not misrepresent anything or tarnish its historical reputation. Situations like this are super tricky. The reality of the situation is that because this was all voluntary, they owe the community nothing, nor should they.

Ideally, there might have been a succession plan from the beginning, both technical and management, but there wasn't. And again, since it was all voluntary, no one can expect that. It is what it is. Very sad though.

@jcsteh I totally see and understand what you're saying, but if they knew about this several months in advance, why didn't they start a search for someone who could potentially take it on? I'm sure there are many in this community who are trustworthy and want to see the site succeed, and have the necessary skills to make that happen. It doesn't make sense, and both the blog post and final decision seem rushed without much consideration.

@acarson @jcsteh Rather than second-guess the decision, I'd rather focus on what we can do. I've stated earlier that I'm willing to take over the main responsibility with the community's help. I'm certain that there will be many issues to consider. I'm Going to give this a bit of thought and organize something in a day or so.

@ppatel @acarson @jcsteh Agree… I did write to David asking him for the list of things that anyone wanting to take this on would have to consider. I somehow think website / Drupal administration is not going to be the hardest of them. :) Yes, there is web hosting and such, but in David’s blog entry it seemed like the concerns were beyond technical.

@acarson @vick21 @ppatel The handover itself is a lot of work. Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with that. Sometimes with community projects, you feel like you can never leave, because even if you pass it to someone else, you still end up answering questions, resolving issues, providing guidance, etc. I'm not saying this is necessarily the way I would choose to do things - as I said, ideally there would have been succession planning - but also understand how exhausting this kind of thing can be. It's entirely reasonable that someone would just be over it and want a clean out.

@Cristobalm @jcsteh @jscholes I've moderated several discussion groups over the years and none of them were as big and numerous as the ones on AppleVis. Even moderating those small groups, one or two in particular, were quite a chore as I had to deal with a small subset of users who couldn't seem to follow simple guidelines. It was taking a toll on my mental health and I gave them up and never once looked back. In my case, I put the word out that I was looking for someone to take over and I had people who were willing to step up. With AppleVis, just moderating those forums would be quite a huge job and you'd need several moderators, possibly one or two for each forum.
