Wow, English-only people (or Western languages, for that matter) are so naïve. In case you didn't know, the lang attribute is very important in East Asian languages.
Serious question. How do platforms that accept user-generated content handle this?
Take Mastodon for example, if three users send a post, one in Chinese, one in Korean, one in Japanese, and the app is international, how would this be handled? How should this be handled?
Are apps targeting the Asian market rewquiring the user to correctly fill in the "language" field each time? Are you effectively required to include AI-based language detection in each product? Are browsers truly unable to figure this out on their own when there's no lang attribute present?
Tired of playing email tag to figure out a meeting time? We are too. Our newest project, Appointment, is coming to the rescue - and a closed beta! Find out more and get links to the waiting list and our GitHub repo in our announcement blog.
This looks great! Have used some of the free open-source scheduling tools and always found they didn't work well on mobile. This looks really slick so far
sounds great, but will it be integrated into the Thunderbird app? Specifically I'm curious about the Android one, but likely it would come to desktop first I'm guessing
@greytheearthling Framadate has some features we don't, like general polling. Appointment has the ability to connect video conferencing (right now, Google Meet and Zoom). We hope you sign up for the beta so you can compare directly!

oh man! I can remember spending hours listening to this when learning my braille N" speak! thanks for sharing! now, if I only had my old BNS2000 to go with it! lol
I was asked to promote @FediverseSymbol in my work. So I had a naked friend do a short tutorial on how to paint the symbol itself. I hope it doesn't get lost in the federated timeline.
today's devices come with an AI processor integrated. On my computer I have disabled it from UEFI settings. However, there is no such method on mobile devices. This means that I will never be able to upgrade my phone or computer.
It is a generally valid statement that AI can not be trusted, given that it can take its own decisions. So in order to actually benefit from it for specific use cases like photography etc, we have to be able to put hardware limitations on it.
Oh no bitwarden what the hell did you do to your website? <a aria-label="go to bitwarden.com/products/persona…" data-testid="cta-link" class="plausible-event-name=navigation+drop+menu+click plausible-event-button=products+pm+personal ......
It keeps going on and on. And the result? A menu that reads like this to a screen reader:
Can we collectively add a thing to VS Code that pops up a really big warning when you control s any file that has aria-label in it that says "You probably don't wanna do this!" and won't let you proceed until you enter a very good reason for why you did this, which is then inspectable in the html source for all of us to see?
@piggo it actually used to have one! But really, windows has one, mac has one, linux has one that works with chromium and firefox browsers. So I doubt having a screen reader in Chrome would have made them care enough to try before production.
It would lower the barrier a lot, I tried twice to wrap my head around Orca and gave up. I for sure don't have the motivation like someone like you who actually needs it, but it's amazingly obscure
@piggo on windows you press control windows enter, and on mac you press command f5. On most linux distros you should be able to turn it on with super s, or super alt s. Anything after that is actually using the screen reader itself, which is sadly necessary to test functionality meant for screen readers. Building one into Chrome probably won't help you here as it would need to be similarly complex. Otherwise, the functionality you're testing for would be missing in the screen reader. But in Bitwarden's case, turning on any screen reader, focusing the website and pressing tab a bunch would have caught this problem.
@piggo that said though, I believe chrome's dev tools have an accessibility inspector which should have also definitely made this pretty obvious, no screen reader required.
@piggo ah well I'm trying it now and that does not seem to be quite as obvious as I expected. I'm still really confused as to how aria labels like that could happen though. I don't really understand.
@piggo yeah that is very unfortunate actually, because the aria is completely useless. Something that automated testing just won't catch I suppose since it wouldn't know what a good label would be.
Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
Muestra en qué orden agregaste los #podcasts, así que he podido ver con que podcast empece y cuales siguen activos.
También puedes ver que etiquetas le has puesto, la velocidad de reproducción, cuanto saltas al principio y final de cada episodio, si tienen etiqueta funding, idioma, autor, entre otras cosas.
Bueno y el total de feeds/podcast que he añadido, que son 203, aunque quitando las pruebas de los míos propios serán 200.
La aplicación que he usado desde Flatpak es: DB Browser for SQLite sqlitebrowser.org/
Las cosas que descubres revisando podcast para los premios #ASESPOD @verdugo789
En el ALTtext están los 65 primeros que agregué desde 2019. Por si queréis ideas de podcast para verano.
PD: Un abrazo virtual a los podcaster del principio de la lista, espero que les vaya bien aunque no graben ya.
Well, if you've ever wondered why Unix systems have both /bin and /usr/bin, and why users are under /home and not the logically-named /usr, here's your answer:
@kevinctofel Worked at Bell Labs in 1980’s, we ran Unix on a VAX 11/780 so no need for directory separation, but our target machine was a Motorola 68000 workstation which required manipulation of the Unix working directory structure to insure it would run wherever we installed it. Wrote the GUI for it to allow telephone system designers to design & display a proposed trunk system for wired dial phones. The project died with the Bell breakup, but was fun to work on at the time 🙂

I know, we had this conversation just the other day, but using approriate hashtags for the community you are talking to is still important so I'll keep banging on about it :) You aren't reaching finance people with that hashtag, you are reaching accessibility / blind / screen reader using people.
