I really feel sorry for the public sector employees working on meeting this #a11y deadline for PDFs.
"PDFs are where services go to die."
No doubt the people working on this will be super under-resourced, and actually meeting this deadline won't be seen as much of a win by anyone, but not meeting it has legal and dire consequences.
To be clear more #a11y is good! Under-resourcing teams is not!

If your government agency is typical, you have a lot of PDFs. Probably thousands. They are probably not accessible.Rebecca Woodbury (Department of Civic Things newsletter)
Here in the United States, "I'm voting Green" is just a shorthand way of saying "I'm voting for the cheaper Putin lickspittle to help the more expensive Putin lickspittle get back into the White House."
To the Green supporters/Russian bots about to fume in the comments about how their vote is in fact something else than the above, here is my pre-emptive reply:
Wow. I didn't expect the amount of resonance my writeup is getting. Thank you very much.
I did a lot of changes, split the document. Hopefully providing alternative, practical strategies for synthesizing sounds in a size-coding context:

This weekend I managed to get #wmbus receiver working. 🎉
Our housing cooperative installed new hot water and heater meters with radio readings. I found out it uses 868Mhz wmbus protocol and that there is an #ESPHome extension adding support for this.
I only needed encryption keys, which I was provided with by the cooperative.
Now my #HomeAssistant tracks out heating and hot water #consuption. Yay...

#OTD in 1843.
William Rowan Hamilton invents quaternions, a 3D system of complex numbers.
Important precursors to this work included Euler's four-square identity (1748) & Olinde Rodrigues' parameterization of general rotations by 4 parameters (1840), but neither of these writers treated the four-parameter rotations as an algebra. Carl Friedrich Gauss had discovered quaternions in 1819, but this work was not published until 1900.

Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”

„Naposledy za námi přijela někdy na podzim. Jen na pár dní. Ustlala si tehdy mezi mnou a klukem, na zemi, přímo pod stolem. Prý že tak je zvyklá, že takhle se cítí v bezpečí. Celé noci tam pak naříkala. Vyla jako zvíře a křičela ze spaní. Nikdo si prý neumíme představit, co se tam na východě odehrává.“

Ever find that sitting in front of your unnecessarily complex music rig is hard sometimes? Creative block hits and there's nothing you can do about it?
I certainly find that lately, more often than not.
One device has come into my life and changed a lot of that however. Ableton Move.
In this world-first video, I take you through making a beat without sight, just using the undocumented screen-reader function within the web-based Move Manager.
It's incredibly freeing to be able to just load a fresh set, be presented with four random sounds and perhaps one of them will inspire you so you just begin doing a thing that you had absolutely no plan to do before you started.
