Sometimes Emacs drives me up the fucking wall, but then I have to use editable dired like once a year and I regain all my love for it.
Is this codependency.
I think #Anki holds a great deal of potential for #blind learners of #languages and other subjects:
The desktop app uses Qt 6, so isn't entirely unusable. It's also fully open source.
The iOS app is extremely usable with VoiceOver, albeit relatively expensive for a mobile app at £24.99, and not open source.
The web interface is usable, but would currently cause people to think more about how to use it than the actual subject they were studying. Still, with some user scripting, it could be workable.
And finally, all Anki functionality is available via their Python library, which could be used in a command line app or more #accessible frontend.
Of course, the issue is always the time needed to take things from where they are now to where they need to be. And I suspect a significant challenge would be having screen readers speak/braille things in the correct language as hopefully declared by each flashcard.
There were these twin sisters just turning one hundred years old in St. Luke's Nursing Home and the editor of the Cambridge rag, "The Cambridge Distorter",
told a photographer to get over there and take the pictures of these 100 year old twin bitteys.
One of the twins was hard of hearing and the other could hear quite well. The photographer asked them to sit on the sofa and the deaf one said to her twin,
"WHAT DID HE SAY?"
He said, "WE GOTTA SIT OVER THERE ON THE SOFA!", said the other.
"Now get a little closer together", said the cameraman.
Again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" "HE SAYS SQUEEZE TOGETHER A LITTLE" - So they wiggled up close to each other.
"Just hold on for a bit longer, I've got to focus a little", said the photographer.
YET AGAIN - "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
"HE SAYS HE'S GONNA FOCUS!"
With a big grin, the deaf twin shouted out, - "OH MY GOD - BOTH OF US?"

We heard back from the Obtanium dev, and his advice is to delete the app from Obtainium and re-add it, but specify a release title filter this time. Or you could add it in one click via the crowdsourced app configs website: apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/?cat…
(Basically, there was a hiccup caused by the fact that repo now hosts two apps instead of one, but this should be a one-time occurrence.)
I sent an email out internally, so I can stop being quiet on here.
I quit Microsoft! Last day tomorrow! New adventure next week! Computers! Eek!
There were 4 men, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle.
When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appears.
Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, 'Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run
towards the pool and jumped, you must shout what you want the pool of water to become, and your wish will come true.'
The French wanted to start. He run towards the pool, jumped and shouted 'WINE'. The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine.
The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, 'VODKA' and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.
The German was next and he jumped and shouted, 'BEER'. He was so contented with his beer pool.
The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel.
He slipped towards the pool and cursed, 'SHIT!'
“For me to post a hurricane forecast and for people to accuse me of creating the hurricane by working for some secret Illuminati entity is disappointing and distressing, and it’s resulting in a decrease in public trust,” says Cappucci. He says he hasn’t slept in multiple days and is exhausted. This last week he received hundreds of messages from people accusing him of modifying the weather and creating hurricanes from space lasers.

...I'm sorry... wut? Is this for real...?
Was an honour to present the @fsfe 's work for #softwarefreedom at #libreoffice Conference 24. (slides uploaded to events.documentfoundation.org/… )
Thanks to all the @libreoffice contributors out there 👏
he's 9 years old and never encountered a clockface.
@andrew well, this came ot me from mainstream: the rest of the kids were doing scratch and they decided to pick up something more audible.
But yeah, it's bonkers to me thta there's no analogue clocks or watches around in his life. I don't leave home without a watch on!
Is it ironic (or just plain hypocritical) how the full legal text of the EAA directive is entirely structured with `<table>` markup (for content that isn't tabular, and it isn't declared as presentational).

You will get more Mastodon boosts if you have suitable Alt Text on your image posts.
Trust me on this 👍🏾
[Prompted by the uptick in image posts /re-toots these past few months that have no Alt Text and which I would otherwise boost, but generally no Alt, no repost]

in reply to Paweł Masarczyk • • •and the developer is a really nice guy. I left the testing group a few months back because I wanted to give Nostr a try. Only realizing now that you can actually use both. Though, I have to be careful what I say on here lest I get booted, something that can’t happen on Nostr.
Tell him I said hello. 😊
