Thank you, fediverse people, you are the best. 🫶
Today in the iOS app store in the Today tab, I encounter a heading with the title
Accessibility Awareness, the Best Accessible Apps and Games, Curated by App Store Editors
I swipe right and what do I then encounter?
Six separate buttons, all labeled "App Suggestion" with no accessible titles.
So, VoiceOver users just hear "app suggestion, button", "app suggestion, button", "app suggestion, button" ...
I have reported this to Apple Accessibility.
Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

Blind software developers on fedi, I have a question!
Have you used GDB? and if so, do you still use it? I'd love to hear experiences from blind users because I can't tell how good or bad our interface is for users.
For more context, GDB is the main debugger (that I know of, at least) for C, C++, Rust, Ada and Fortran. If you used a debugger for a program in one of those, you probably used GDB with maybe some interface on top.
Because GDB is all text based, I'd think it could reasonably well suited for blind users, but I'm sure being accessible isn't as easy as "the text is there" so I'd love to hear the experience of blind users!
I tried searching online but couldn't find any experiences from GDB users specifically (only general tool advice from coding with eyes closed), so direct experience would be appreciated!
Boosts are welcome!

I've used GDB occasionally to set breakpoints and debug C and C++ code, from the CLI. It usually works fine, other than terminal weirdness when gdb and program output might mix or interleave.
I no longer use it but that's because I don't write C or C++ anymore.

Outages are still occuring. After 3 calls we are slowly getting there:
1️⃣ We don't see any problem on your address
2️⃣ Oh I see regular outages on your modem. The modem is in bridge mode, isn't the problem on your side? I will send a technician to your home tomorow.
(...)
Then I persuaded my mum to call there as she is in different flat on different account with modem in standard router mode and to collect more reports. That finally made them look for cause.
3️⃣ No no one reported any problem on your address. Your neighbour called? Aha. Let's have look. Oh, there seems to be some outages occurring. Oh. It seems to be happening in whole street. Ok, sending technicians right now.

It's been a while but here's a new graph I'm testing. Getting the complexity for every function in #curl then assigning that complexity for all lines in that function. This gives an "average complexity per source code line".
Then plot this score for curl over time.
The idea now being to push it down hard.
When we do the right de-complications, the number will go down.
But it‘s refactoring on how things operate, not „just“ splitting up high-scoring functions into pieces.
Complexity, to me, is dominated by the amount of state functions operate on. Not the if/switch paths. When all functions have access to a couple hundred state variable, things remain very complex.
