Is there a good source of free/paid generic HTML/CSS themes for tasks like apps/blogs that aren't tied to a given SSG/framework?
Specifically, if I as a blind person want to put together a decent-looking prototype for something in whatever framework I happen to be working with, I'd like to grab something with a simple set of pages/stylesheets and carve them up for whatever templating engine that framework uses. I know these sometimes exist for individual setups like Hugo, but it's harder to work backwards from a framework-specific theme to something more generic. Should also be friendly for editing by hand since the first thing I'll do is separate the layout from the content.
I think I'd prefer Bootstrap for CSS, or something a bit less semantically dense than Tailwind, which always sounds like alphabet soup to me.
My worst experiences with aggression on roads are from Prague.
So many companies implementing PassKey so wrong that it’s mind boggling. What’s so hard to just ask for PassKey and not use it as a second factor?
It is a secure token, it doesn’t really need entering username+password and PassKey. I’ve even seen PassKey + TOTP on top (PayPal).
I am almost wondering that it is not incompetence but the corporate minds want the PassKeys to go away by making them hard to use.

Actually don't even get me started on "transandrophobia."
I have entire _rants_ about the latter part of that word.
Part two: some of the people who were responsible for popularizing the term originally were, uh.
Let's call them hellishly problematic and leave it at that?
Which is one thing, but then that legacy lives on in how the term gets used today.
Because, much like with MRAs, there are real things to talk about but I almost _never_ see the advocacy in those contexts. Rather it is almost always "time to talk about how trans women are terrible."
5/
Much like how MRAs could talk about, say, circumcision or toxic masculinity but they usually end up spending their energy going after women and/or feminists, usually when I see "transandrophobia" (or transmisandry) it is going to be followed by talking, not about the medical establishment going after trans men, it's going to be followed by talking about "bæddelism" (in this, the year 2024) or—at best—how trans women "get to be loud and proud but not us."

Today, JAWS version 2025 has been released.
All our products are compatible with JAWS 2025, even J-Say, the update for which has just been released.
So targets have been met and in some cases exceeded.
Within the next few days, we will be contacting people who have a J-Say SMA and providing them with their upgrades.
However, the vast majority of people who have J-Say have acquired it through a Distributor. So in most cases, it is the Distributor who would let you know that the upgrade is available.
If you think you do have a current SMA, your best course of action is to send to us your JAWS serial number so it can be checked. We may then be able to provide it to you faster.
Quickly hitting peak frustration with Thunderbird's accessibility issues. Are there any other good accessible local or web-based email clients?
Don't suggest Gmail, I don't trust Google not to torch my account and nuke my data because some AI somewhere had a bad day.
Also note that I've used Thunderbird for over a decade, I've done all the usual config changes but the updates continue to break accessibility in new and innovative ways. It's not me, it's them, and I can't just not read some messages anymore because Thunderbird can't do accessibility testing right.

Don't show "account selector" by default or at least enable account pics
As long as Tbird doesn’t show account pictures, having the email list showing is fairly useless because there’s no way to keep them apart. I have 2 each of Yahoo + Gmail and besides the “account color” they all look the same.K-9 Mail Forum
#curl source code age (take 2)
How large share of the code was written after a certain date, over time.
@dve 100% is the entire code base of the time. It has kept growing ever since before 2000.
But that confusion risk is also why I won't keep this version of the graph, I will go with the "take 4" I posted later.
Interesting. When I search for “Norton Password Manager” on Chrome Web Store, it first lists five completely unrelated extensions, and only the last search result is the actual Norton Password Manager. Somebody told me that website is run by a company specializing in search, so this shouldn’t be due to incompetence, right? What is it then?
