I'm a proponent of static websites. Most generators use a folder structure with Markdown files and other assets as the input.

However, not all users are confident editing Markdown and YAML front matter etc. by hand.

Are there any good web frontends for this kind of stuff?

It should feel like the authoring backend for WordPress or whatever random CMS, with a WYSIWYG editor, and the result are Markdown files & assets. Bonus points for Git support.

Coleguillas de Mastodon. Estoy pensando en retomar el canal de Accessibites para hacer episodios de accesibilidad web, enfocándome en buscar webs importantes que son un desastre, y hablar de sus problemas de accesibilidad. Algo así como "En busca de la accesibilidad perdida". La cosa es que siendo ciego lo de la edición de vídeo se me hace cuesta arriba. ¿Alguien en la sala a quien le mole la propuesta y se anime a editar los vídeos? ¡Gracias de antemano!


SHIFTphone 8

Es gibt nahezu unendliche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für den Custom-Key, deswegen würden wir gerne von euch wissen, welche Funktionen ihr euch besonders wünscht.🙂

Vorschläge in die Kommentare!

in reply to SHIFTPHONES

1) verschiedene Möglichkeiten parallel: A) bei antippen, B) bei doppel-/dreifach-tap, C) bei gedrückt halten

2) schon erwähnt: selbst etwas zusammenstellen würde auch "Exotisches" ermöglichen. Als vorkonfigurierte Optionen:

* Personal-Panik-Funktion (Nachricht an vorkonfigurierte Kontakte mit aktuellem Standort etc)
* Device-Panik: Lock, deaktivieren biometrischen Unlocks
* Not-Löschung: Factory-Reset, wenn nicht binnen 15s "Abbruch-PIN" eingegeben wurde

wo konfiguriert man den?

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅

@IzzyOnDroid
Klingt gut. Bis auf die Notlöschung, weil das in der Hosentasche zu leicht posieren kann. :)
in reply to Ditol

@ditol nicht, wenn man das zum Beispiel durch Dreifach-Tippen auslöst. Eher unwahrscheinlich, dass Du die Sequenz dann "zufällig in der Hosentasche" auslöst. @shiftphones ich suche aber noch immer, wo ich beim SP8 diese Taste konfigurieren kann. Oder kommt das erst mit einem späteren Update (also neuer als 20240927)? Auch das "Bei ausgeschaltetem Bildschirm Taschenlampe per Gedrückthalten der Powertaste" Feature, das ich beim 6mq gern nutze, finde ich nicht mehr 😉



Well then. It looks like #Spotify now switches tracks on you if ever you swipe left from the top of the screen or swipe right from the bottom of the screen. I don't know if this only happens in the Now Playing view, but whatever the case, I absolutely loathe this behavior as a #Voiceover user.
in reply to 🌟Kira Aeva🌟

That used to be a feature before they removed it now added it back. Interesting... It was a thing on older phones and also on Android. But it's cool on android. Just explore by touch instead of flicking left and right, should work. Should, is a word that I am loosely using, because that worked 8 years ago haha.


Mne to nové webové usporiadanie príde také akési moc rozťahané, zbytočne veľké a plýtvajúce priestorom. Nechcem byť trapko, ale to pred tým mi vyhovovalo viac 😉

As #DeníkN changed their podcast format and moved most of it behind paywall and I like to listen to it on my bike commute to work, I had to change the way I consume #podcasts and also updated the way I consume #RSS articles.

Here's what works for me for now 🧵

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

:ttrss: ▶️ :freshrss:
I replaced #TTRSS by #FreshRSS. The reasons are:
👍 more features
👍 bigger client support
👍 bigger development activity
👍 better look.

I use this to consume #rss in form of links to content:
📰 new articles on my favourite media
📰 update news of several softwares
📰 read city hall info desk
📰 discover new youtube videos on my favourite channels
📰 discover new episodes of my favourite TV shows on iVysílání (sadly not natively, but using rss bridge)

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

:ttrss: ➡️ :readrops:
On #android I use #Readrops as a #RSS client. It uses the #FreshRss as a synchronization backend.
It is not perfect, but it works for now.
It looks nice, but UX and readability needs improvements.
I tried even several paid apps, but they where all worse than this fully free and opensource app.
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

📱 🗞️
I also like the UI of the app #Newsflash from #Gnome circle.
It can be installed from #flathub and also synchronizes with #FreshRSS .
I will mostly use the FreshRSS web interface, but on my tesing #Oneplus6 phone with #PostmarketOS it is my number one choice.
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

🎙️
And now back to podcasts. I was quite surprised, that all these apps are really bad in consuming podcasts. Especially when I want to add more episodes to queue and remember where I stopped last session.
So I installed separate #RSS stack for podcasts only.
#RSS
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

:nextcloud: 🧩
I installed #NextCloud extension gPodder Sync. This does just job, it provides gPodder api. That's it. I like apps that do one thing and do it right.

This api can be used by client apps to synchornize
🔄 list of subscrubed feeds
🔄 listening state of each episode

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

:nextcloud: 🧩
Then there is another Next Cloud extension: #RePod .

It is a web client to the gPodder api, so I can list, subscribe and listen to all the episodes in the nextcloud web interface. That works nice.

in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

:antennapod: :android:
The last piece of the puzzle is the android podcast client. Here the #AntennaPod does a really nice job.
It has all I need:
🎙️synchronizes everything with gPodder api
🎙️predownloads new episodes
🎙️has queue of episodes



What I most miss about Twitter when it wasn't evil is that I could publicly shame companies when they were stealing money from me.

#Ebay and one of their sellers have stolen £80 off me and it doesn't matter if I post it on here because nowhere now has the power and reach of old #Twitter

There is currently no way to damage the PR of a company unless you happen to go viral on TikTok or YT.

As a side note - NEVER buy from Ebay, there is no guarantee that your money is safe. None.

in reply to Jyoti Mishra

This seems like something that could be easily fixed with a chargeback.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki I was screwed with an Internet purchase, I think it might have been via Ebay, and I just went to my bank for a chargeback and let them all deal with that.



This, is a banger. This whole soundtrack and just this composer in general is really good. This is Elly (sometimes romanized as Erii, originally エリイ) from the soundtrack of YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World (この世の果てで恋を歌う少女 YU-NO) for the NEC PC98. I'd like to see a bassist play the bass part in this, especially when it starts doing the changes! That sounds hard AF, but I'm not a bassist so I can't be certain. youtube.com/watch?v=0joudlesP6…

It is sad to note that the Zoom Conferencing client is becoming less and less easy to use.
It is becoming so bloated with features not necessarily associated with hosting meetings.
Even something as simple as scheduling a meeting does not work as easily as used to be the case.

A major JAWS script update is being worked on so as to hopefully make at least the process of scheduling meetings, and reviewing scheduled events, easier than is currently the case.
An accurate time as to when the update will be available cannot be given at present, but it is hoped it will be within the next two weeks.

in reply to Hartgen Consultancy

Do you have contacts there? I guess earlier they used to reply to accessibility-related inquiries.


Unpopular Opinion: I think C# is the best out of the high-level, statically typed, garbage-collected languages. It has a fairly large ecosystem of third-party libraries, great documentation, two high-quality GUI libraries (Avalonia and Uno Platform) and a high-performance sealing. I think Go is better for backends and microservices, but for a all around general purpose language, it's hard to beat C#
in reply to mohaneds

Yesss! I started my dive in it roughly a year ago and I can't get tired of its beauty and elegance! However, I don't know about those newish stuff's accessibility, so I'm still on Windows Forms. If you have any insights, I'm all ears.
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion Na, Windows Forms is still the best for us. Avalonia is fairly accessible, but it's laggy with screen readers. So far, i'm converging on C# and Rust being my favorite languages, with Go for web backends running on Linux.
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion Also: Have you noticed that Visual Studio is more accessible than any of the Java IDEs?
in reply to mohaneds

Of course! I mean, I really didn't see any truly accessible Windows app written in Java. but as for Rust... its syntax is so weird, unlike C#.
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion Yeah, it's unfortunate because Java jobs pay so much better, at least where I live. I'd love it if INtellij Idea worked well with screen readers. Also yeah, Rust syntax is a little dense and weird. The hardest thing was adjusting to variable types being declared on the right hand side of a variable assignment, but Go helped with that one.
in reply to mohaneds

that yes, but I also hate snake_case, and in Rust it's prevalent, as in Python btw.
in reply to mohaneds

Oh, also you told Avalonia lags with screen readers, what about Uno? And Maui?
in reply to André Polykanine

@menelion NO experience with those. Uno should be fine, as it does the WX thing of using native OS controls. I'll mess with it soon though. Also: uno lets you create the GUI with C# if you're not into XAML, which is cool. I wish Avalonia did that.
in reply to mohaneds

Tag me please when you have any experience, if you don't forget. Thanks!
in reply to mohaneds

I don't think it's an unreasonable view, but if I were to choose one of those langauges I think I'd go for F# myself, and the library access is still there.



I've been using the #Tusky app but I'm running into an annoying issue where if I switch out of the app while writing a post and switch back on, I lose my post and everything I typed up until that point.

I do use the native web app interface also so I'll probably just back to using that full time.

in reply to Zalasur Spoops ooOOoooOoo 🐵

It is a known bug and we are correcting it in the next update. In fact, it is already corrected in the nightly version. Sorry for the annoyances!!!

Great statement at #blinkon by @cdub

"Chrome is the 4th browser I've worked on. They've all had majority market share. 2 of them don't even exist anymore. The web platform remains. It outlives browsers, engines, companies even."

in reply to bkardell

Chromium seems like such an unstoppable juggernaut right now, though. To the point that I'm sympathetic to the argument that Apple's ban on browser competition on iOS might be a good thing in that it's preventing Chromium from becoming even more of an unstoppable juggernaut, leaving everyone else far behind and making it practically impossible to ever develop a new independent engine.

The article linked in my last boost (baldurbjarnason.com/2024/lisko… by @baldur) has buried in it the following unequivocal statement:

":And none of us should be using React."

I think those of us who agree with this message (I think I do) could do a better job of communicating it to those who aren't following the web development discourse. As far as my non-developer business partner knows, for example, React is still an uncontroversial industry standard.

in reply to Matt Campbell

If this doesn't exist yet, maybe we need a web page, with a catchy domain name like WhyNotReact.dev, that succinctly lays out the arguments against React.

Liskov’s Gun: The parallel evolution of React and Web Components

baldurbjarnason.com/2024/lisko…

This is a bit of an experiment. Probably the longest essay I've published directly on my website. 🙂







Time for another lesson from my days fighting in the Mod Wars in one of Twitch's more famous and busy channels

A few years ago, the channel began showing the pronouns of presenters and guests on stream. And toxic gamer types complained incessantly, often in very overtly transphobic ways, regardless of whether anyone on-stream was trans. We banned every single last person who complained. I personally banned hundreds, it must have been a few thousand all together. Anyone who DM'd the mods to apologize/explain it was a misunderstanding got unbanned, but that was a tiny fraction of them; there were more than a few bonus-transphobia parting shot DMs, often aimed at me because I was the first mod alphabetically.

And after a few weeks of this slaughter... the chat became a civil paradise. It was a much healthier environment than before we began showing the pronouns and causing all the most toxic people to volunteer their identity at once. People who are really gross on one axis tend to be unpleasant on all of them.



🌟 #Sharkvember excitement is in full swing with Freedom Scientific's **Next Big Thing** contest! Last year, the winning idea was all about AI-generated image descriptions—a game-changer for accessibility! 🎉🤖 This year, the competition's fierce, and it's anyone's guess what brilliant idea will take the crown. Will it be another AI marvel, or perhaps something totally unexpected? 🤔✨

Submissions are in soon, and on November 19th, finalists will showcase their visionary ideas for JAWS and ZoomText. I can't wait to see the creativity and innovation at play this year! 😍💡 The thrill of seeing our accessibility tools evolve is so inspiring. We might just see new features that transform how blind and low-vision users interact with the world! 🌐👀

Catch the live event and let’s cheer for these pioneers pushing the boundaries of tech! #NextBigThing #Accessibility #JAWS #ZoomText #Sharkvember2024 🦈💙

in reply to The Blind AI

ah yes, the game-changer copied from other screen readers and apps. I wish innovation didn't come with quite so much hype. Perhaps I'm getting old and grumpy!
