Hey Google and Microsoft, instead of spending billions to refurb nuclear explodium stations, why don't you spend these billions in future clean energy tech to the good of humanity. And I'm not talking build tech-bro solution.


"I received four denials on the same day. Three of which occurred when requesting one ride. I was connected with another driver and was again denied another two times. The app notified me that I would have to re-request my ride as it had timed out. Later that afternoon, I attempted to request a ride home. The driver arrived, saw me and my dog, and drove away without speaking to us. This time I did not notify the driver previous to them arriving.โ€ โ€“ Guide Dog User in Texas, January 2023

Another audiogame that would be cool to have the music for is Manaman 2, then I could build a Mist World music soundpack for it - I wouldn't even need all sounds, just all musics. The manual thankfully lists artists, but unlike STW does not list track names so I cannot purchase them like I did (bonus: I now have a bunch of purchased music and I did get to support the artists too)

โ€œShopify, accessibility lawsuits & โ€˜Complianceโ€™โ€
nicchan.me/blog/shopify-accessโ€ฆ

Long read that looks at responsibility, content accessibility, the ACR of one theme, and drive-by lawsuits.

This quote tho: โ€œIn a way, the Shopify app store and theme store create a parasitic ecosystem.โ€

The latest developer beta of iOS 18.1 resolves the direct touch issues with VoiceOver. Apple even responded to my feedback saying it had been fixed! Normally all of my feedbacks feel like yelling into the void. Momentous.


This is a positive review! Very much looking forward to when this debuts for the iPhone 16. Have been eyeing this ever since it was released at CES. Clicks Keyboard for iPhone 16 Pro โ€“ Rebuilt on customer feedback - 9to5Mac 9to5mac.com/2024/10/14/hands-oโ€ฆ

back when I was looking for a job in 2023 they were on my list. Their applicant gate keeping was shit. I guess that's a good way to never have been involved....

It's time for a silly Monday afternoon beat thing.
Last night, I sampled a bunch of sounds from a Perkins braillewriter and loaded them into my shiny new Ableton Move. Today, I made this silly thing with it, not actually using many of the samples, as it turns out.

Never forget that Canada decided non disabled people needed $2000 a month to survive the COVID shutdown - yet expects disabled people (who may never earn again) to live on approx $1300 or less.

Being sick is expensive - and we shouldnโ€™t be worth less than our non disabled peers.

in reply to Broadwaybabyto

Yep!

In the US we got $2,000 covid pay. But disability pay is only $700. And it takes up to 10 years to process your application




I know why I'm glad I went with HP now. the HP bios configuration utility. Del makes something similar, but sadly limited to their workstation-class systems. HP does not discriminate on this one, unless you count not allowing the disabling of Absolute protection chips that come shipped in the factory. (Some see Absolute Protect as a trojan for allowing a lot of core access) the HP-specific BCU is downloadable here and requires commandline. ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp14350โ€ฆ

@jaybird110127 i didnโ€™t know HP did this. Lenovo does one too and it is excellent and accessible.


I mean a lot of people donโ€™t even consider the fact that in addition to Columbus just being a terrible murderous individual, he was also an idiot and a terrible navigator.


I have today off, (thanks Indigenous People!), so I've been spending it sending get-out-the-vote texts to #Democrats in Ohio and Arizona. If you're #Blind and looking for an #Accessible way to volunteer this election cycle, Campaign for Democracy is entirely virtual, lets you text on your own time, and only requires a device with a Web browser. (some familiarity with Discord also helps, but isn't required.) Learn more here: campaignfordemocracy.com/text/
in reply to Kerri

@Tamasg Can I text not just โ€œget out and voteโ€ but actually โ€œvote demsโ€. How direct can one be? :)
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 @Tamasg it's a Dem-leaning campaign, (started by Gov. Newsome of CA), so the people we're texting are mostly prior Democratic voters. it's pretty direct.

Just made a restaurant booking and... what fresh hell is this?



I really wanted to give @thunderbird another chance, but upon opening the app it asks me to login to my outlook account, which fails. The app also just keeps freezing and crashing. Has it somehow gotten less stable oven time?
in reply to Andrew Miller

Microsoft-owned accounts can be tricky, and we have a guide for troubleshooting them: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mโ€ฆ

As far as crashes, that's not the experience we want you to have! If you go to support.mozilla.org/en-US/prodโ€ฆ you can search for your issue or open a new ticket and submit crash logs and provide the info needed to help our support crew and community contributors help solve this.



I suddenly lost the ability to send messages with a three-finger swipe up in Braille Screen Input today. I can confirm it's broken in Messages, ChatGPT, WhatsApp and Mona. I haven't updated my phone to a new beta, it just broke. I also can't recall changing any settings or gestures that might be related. Very strange indeed. Has anyone else experienced this on 18.1?
in reply to simon.old

Uh, no, it works here. IS there a newer iOS version than 18 that was publicly released last month?

For some time, Iโ€™ve been using Wipr on my iPhone to minimise trackers and elements that impede #accessibility. But after doing some research, I decided to give 1Blocker a try and I am very impressed. I can tell itโ€™s working and using the web just feels a lot better with it installed.
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 It works even further than that. They use the VPN profile systom to block trackers and ads in apps.
in reply to Jonathan Mosen

Love 1Blocker so far. I wish they provided more explanations for some of their options, e.g. โ€œremove annoyancesโ€. What does this mean? :) Anyway, installed and playing with it right now.
