Hmm, so Tweesecake.social is searchable via Google? I mean, it's convenient when you want to find something, but... is it like that for all Mastodon instances? tweesecake.social/@techsinger/…

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space I really appreciate it. Again, I get that nobody cares about Win7, any work you could put in is an act of grace, as it were.

I'm mostly indifferent about the design changes in iOS 26, the majority of which don't affect VoiceOver users and are eclipsed by accessibility and performance issues anyway. But one path of logic I still can't wrap my head around is having an app tab named "Search," the main purpose of which is to perform a search, and deciding that the search field would be best placed as the last thing on the screen.

The kind of, presumably LLM-generated, code I get thrown my way...

Here's a fun bash snippet:

success=$((success & 0))

I find it so hard to believe a human writes this. This is the same as success=0. Why would you ever write it like that...

LLMs really are amazing, inventing whole new classes of ridiculously stupid code I've not seen before in all my years reviewing MRs.

Weirdest one I've seen in the age of LLMs was in the format (ignore the names):

```
function shouldDoThing() {
$checks = [isThingTrue(), isOtherThingTrue()];
// strict check for true in the $checks array
return in_array(true, $checks, true);
}
```

It's such a bastardization of `return isThingTrue() || isOtherThingTrue()`. None of these methods had side effects that required we call them all.

I agree, and yet many, if not most, people allow corporations to collect all of that information, and more. The users sometimes freely give it too. Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, X/Twitter/Bluesky, every supermarket club card, etc. And many of these companies and their data broker buddies sell this data, so the government doesn’t need to collect it themselves. They can quietly drink from the firehouse of data already available.

🎧I made one of my professional dreams come true, I interviewed a Deaf Sign Singer! As a Blind person and a singer myself, I had many questions. With the assistance of an ASL Interpreter and a sighted Audio Describer, I learned about sign singing from Deaf performer Gaitrie Persaud-Killings. She’ll be directing the all Deaf shadow cast at a screening of the Rockie Horror Picture Show in Toronto, presented by the most awesome Disability Collective, and I got some insights on what that means. Check out this latest Disability Podcast episode! I love my work!

What do you use for Mastodon on Android?

Looking for client that can do multi accounts, remote timeline pinning, remote hashtag feed pinning, drafts, threads auto split and maybe does not look like trash.

Basically I am looking for something as close to @MonaApp as possible.

I tried Fedilab but it is not even close. Phanpy, although a web app is actually great. Now looking for a native app that does as good.

Interessant wie stark die #Bauernaufstände von einer neuen Auseinandersetzung mit dem #Evangelium/ der #Bibel geprägt waren und den Antrieb für das Eintreten für eine gerechtere #Gesellschaft befeuerte.

Die Ausstellungen dazu in #Mühlhausen waren sehr interessant.

Oh how often I see that with apps I try to check for Reproducible Builds. Using a 2 MB NodeJS Github action to insert 2-5 lines of code – e.g. by passing it versionName + versionCode to update it in build.gradle. Utilizing some Github internal counters for versionCode (which are hard to replicate from outside.

Yes, you then no longer have to remember updating the two in build.gradle. So it's "simplifying" I guess 🙈

@delta@chaos.social Is there any hope for chat moderation features? Personally, I am a streamer and I enjoy using your product and building a community there ​:yellowHeart:​ But I am very concerned that at some point I might let someone who is not very adequate into the chat and they will have the right to kick everyone out of the chat...​:cirno_cry3:​
It would also be very cool to have the ability to tag chat members​:cirno_love:​

Sunday.

I wonder how many of the reviewers on trustpilot and Amazon are *truly* happy that people now know not only their names and that of their newborn babies, but also the size of their nipples. Does it really matter? Is nipple diameter personal data under article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation?

Crazy thoughts that spin through your head after a few weeks of very broken sleep, but yes, the breast pump has packed in.
I flooded one of our rechargeables - the mother-in-law and I have a bitter rivalry over which side of the sink is for dirty things: I argue the draining board is for clean drying things, and she seems to think wrongly.
So that was half our portable pumping power down, although to be fair we've never drained the battery on the other motor yet.
And this morning the electric pump she's been using also went pop. NO idea why.

So now I'm buried deep in flange sizes and nursing bra capacities.

On the weirder side, it was the first day of the year I got out of the shower to a warm towel, now the heating's gone on for baby. There's something inexpressibly delightful about a warmth on ones testicles after a cool shower.

Daughter is off to Spain with school tomorrow. Laughably, dropping her off at 4:45AM used to make me think of the sleep I'd be missing. The baby's put paid to that.

First day in a while we've had any serious rain, so we're all huddled up behind closed doors today.

@nuno_nuno If you would like to try the TestFlight, you’re welcome to do so - email paul@hackingwithswift.com! Although it’s been optimized for switch control, reduce motion, differentiate without color, etc, I think even the very first challenge will be very difficult using VoiceOver. It relies on the user noticing that a long string of characters ends with two equals signs, marking it as base64.

So it started a bunch of years ago with needing a basic expression evaluator for the MAME debugger. I found an article about infix-to-postfix conversion and wrote a simple expression compiler/executor based on the standard C operators and precedence. It supported a symbol table and allowed you to register functions that could be called to perform actions or get state.

Flash forward to the dawn of DREAMM and I needed to evaluate some expressions, so I ported/cleaned up the engine I wrote for MAME, with essentially the same functionality.

With DREAMM 4.0 I wanted to do more, and realized that if I could properly short-circuit the && and || operators, and add proper ternary ? : operator support, I could do quite a lot by combining those with the comma operator.

After doing that, I realized it was a small step to add actual if/else keyword processing, and support multiple statements via semicolons instead of the comma hack.

Then I realized that while loops were a pretty easy next step, and with some additional syntactic processing I could get C-style for loops working as well.

Of course, I soon found a need for break/continue support, so added those keywords next.

Then my scripts got complicated enough that I wanted to be able to define functions and call them (as opposed to calling external functions implemented by the engine). This need a bit more syntax, but was still a small step.

Functions should be able to have parameters, so the next step was parsing the names of the parameters and mapping them to the items being passed. And functions need to be able to return results, so explicit return keyword support was added.

And so at this point I've basically implemented a mostly complete C compiler/interpreter. 😜

If I knew this is where I'd end up, perhaps it would have made more sense to find existing code and use that, but at this point I'm kind of committed to my own thing. Also lets me control the behaviors to work like I want them to.
