I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.

Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.

I have now put together usecases & broad ideas into this #GNOMEPapers ticket: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubat…

Yesterday I bought the web book Every Layout (every-layout.dev/), which teaches how to do CSS layout the right way. Now, I wonder if we could get National Braille Press or a similar organization to do a Braille version with tactile graphics, so fully blind people could more easily get their heads around this aspect of front-end web development. (I have enough usable vision to look at the graphics if I really need to.) Of course, testing one's own layouts would still be a challenge.

Somehow I've gotten stuck with working on frontend styles for an SSG-based website at work as a totally blind person, since I'm the only one that knows HTML/CSS/JS and we have specific brand requirements so it can't be avoided. The embarrassing dance of "How does this look now?" is tiring to everyone involved and slightly humiliating. I tried leveraging GPT vision in my workflow, which catches some things, but more often than not it's overly optimistic and wrong.

⌨️ prayer for the un-entitled user

"Like the rest of the web platform, interoperability is key to accessibility support. It is safe to say at this time (September 2024) that the display of title attribute content on keyboard focus is not implemented interoperably."

Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...

Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.

Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.

The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.

The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
