What do you do when you need to walk across a 1000 acre farm on gravel roads to tend to your animals but a recent rain has made everything muddy?Zachary live...
If you are using Mastodon on a computer, you can optionally use it entirely through your keyboard using "hotkeys". There is a complete list of these keyboard shortcuts here:
You can see this list at any time by pressing Shift + ? (or just ? on some keyboard layouts).
Some of the shortcuts only work with the advanced multicolumn mode (more info about it: fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mast…) but most shortcuts work with single column mode too.
This Ars Technica article discusses just how much the rushed release of the new Sonos app will hurt their revenue, but I'm particularly impressed that their first example of its failures was "accessibility features", and that text links straight to @JonathanMosen’s blog post. I'm trying, but I just can't make myself feel too bad for them. And they still have to show they can actually get back on track.
I don't feel bad for them one little bit. Not only did they fail to do things properly, they doubled down and actively chose to ignore early user feedback. That failure is entirely on them and it was entirely preventable.
Still, as you say, the more important thing is where they go from here. To be fair to them, they've at least recognised the failure and are apparently putting other things on hold in order to resolve it.
@jcsteh yeah I recall the word brave, or something similar being used in response to feedback that this was going to be a problem. I hope they feel exceptionally good about their choices now

Laut Abfallwirtschaft kommt es täglich bundesweit zu 30 Bränden aufgrund von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien, die im Hausmüll entsorgt werden. In jedem 2. Fall rückt die Feuerwehr an. Zahlen steigen wegen der Verbreitung von Einweg-E-Zigaretten. @regierungbw und #NRW fordern vom Bund, Einweg-E-Zigaretten zu verbieten sowie eine Pfandpflicht für lithiumhaltige Batterien und Akkus zu prüfen swr.de/swraktuell/baden-wuertt…
Was haben E-Zigaretten, Bohrmaschinen und singende Grußkarten gemeinsam? Oft enthalten sie Lithium-Ionen-Akkus. Landen diese im Müll, sind sie eine große Gefahr. Denn sie können sich selbst entzünden und verheerende Brände auslösen.

While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.
Women’s rugby player Ariana Ramsey’s videos showcasing her appointments have gone viral, and now many others are making good use of the medical services offered in Paris.
New, by me: At least six companies were saved from having to pay hefty ransoms, thanks to rookie security bugs found in the web infrastructure used by the ransomware gangs themselves.
Security researcher Vangelis Stykas said he found simple security flaws in the web panels used by Mallox, BlackCat, and Everest ransomware gangs, which exposed victims' decryption keys and helped him to alert other companies before the criminals could strike.
If Apple wants to source its chips for pennies from foreign suppliers, it should have to pay a price to do so, such as a duty on imported iPhones using only foreign-sourced chips.
there is no apparent trend in either count or rate over the time spanned by this data set; however, the cutoff below 150 uses may mean that we are looking entirely at outliers.
> Both the U.S. and China are major countries that use incarcerated workers and pay them pennies on the dollar, if at all. Legal advocates say prisoners in the U.S. are exploited and pressured to work, because convicts do not enjoy full protection of the country's employment laws. Prison labor in China is even less regulated. apple.news/AdyBjydMKQQ-Y11ZGT_…
Well, I hope it’s a lesson. Still, 30 Mil seems like a bit too an oversized of a figure to me. I mean, what sort of things are they doing there to cost 30 mil?
@vick21 I think they're calculating opportunity cost for not introducing two new products on time. Unless the hardware and software teams are the same, this kinda doesn't make sense.
Since I'm seeing a lot of "I have covid" posts, reminder that the WHO actually published a protocol for recovery after the illness to reduce the odds of Long Covid.

Before I go to bed for the day I'm just gonna leave this here because I definitely didn't just spend an hour playing when I should probably be resting. Someone just made an accessibility mod for Balatro and now I understand why this game blew up. If you haven't heard of it, you're basically making the best poker hands possible with a standard card deck trying to reach increasingly higher score targets. For reaching them you get money which you can use in the shop to buy various upgrades and special cards that let you get even higher scores, which gives you more money... And that's how the game loop works. All this is accompanied by some very chill background music and satisfying sound effects. Another win for #GameAccessibility for sure. You can find the mod here forum.audiogames.net/topic/541…
@Scott So far, it's another case of a mainstream game making me feel kind of dim. I bought it, got the mod installed and working, it speaks through NVDA, I just... don't have a clue what most of the stuff it's saying means or how to play. @pitermach
@jscholes @Scott I'm struggling to get the mod working, have followed the instructions twice over and it is just like... maybe I'm too tired tonight heh.
@jscholes @Scott Okay so figured out how to play, now need to figure out which key it is to buy cards in the shop between rounds. I can see how this will become quickly addicting and fun. I can see why people are really enjoying this.
@blindbat84 @jscholes @Scott It’s right bumper on a controller or E on keyboard. It’s also how you use consumable items. Left bumper or Q to sell something
@blindbat84 @jscholes @Scott They’re listed in the documentation here, if you go by table a few times you should see it. And on that note the keyboard keys to buy and sell are V and Z by default, sorry I’m playing on controller. github.com/Aurelius7309/BlackH…
