We should rethink how we teach people to code

It's fair to say that the tech industry at the moment is not in a good place. Software engineers tend to be detached, demotivated and unwilling to care much about the work they're doing beyond their paycheck.deadSimpleTech

I have just found a nice document scanning app for android that can do automatic edge detection, cropping, multipage scanning, OCR, PDF export and more.
It's called #makeacopy and it's using #tesseract engine to perform the OCR directly on the device with no internet connectivity requirement at all.
The app has almost full #a11y support for screen reader users in the sense that all the controls are clearly labelled and it's easy to navigate.
I can't resist and I have asked the developer if it would be doable to add a screen reader compatible notifications making the automatic edge detection somehow accessible as well.
Now I'd appreciate comments from low vision screen reader users, mobility trainers, people assisting other blind people or others who might be able to tell if my idea is viable and how much you like it?
Here is link to the github issue I have started: github.com/egdels/makeacopy/is…
Thanks for looking into it.

Da mich diese Frage umtrieb:
Sollen wir auf Plattformen wie NIUS interagieren?
Mein Fazit nach zwei Angriffen in drei Tagen.
Ich habe mein Schutzteam gefragt, ob es klug war, dass meine Community unter dem NIUS-Artikel kommentiert hat.
Danke an alle, die durch ein Newsletter-Abonnement dieses finanzieren!!
Die Antwort war eindeutig: Ja.
Warum?
Ressourcenbindung: Jeder NIUS-Follower, der dort in den Kommentaren gebunden ist, hängt nicht bei mir ab und attackiert mich nicht direkt.

Der zweite Angriff hat fast ein Viertel meiner BahnCard 2027 finanziert.
Aus Hass wird Solidarität.
Aus Spaltung wird Unterhaken.
Meine Bitte:
Stellt euch virtuell vor Menschen, die angegriffen werden.
Ihr bindet damit Ressourcen, ihr zeigt Präsenz, ihr macht Mut.
Und ihr zeigt: Wir lassen uns nicht einschüchtern.
4/4
Autoritäre Kräfte setzen darauf, dass wir verstummen. Dass wir uns zurückziehen. Dass wir aufgeben.
Danke an alle, die sich einmischen. Die kommentieren. Die widersprechen. Die da sind.
Ihr seid nicht nur Schutz für mich – ihr seid Schutz für unsere Demokratie.
Pusht das hier to the limit!
Danke an alle, die verstehen, was wirklich zählt ❤

I am on an academic committee that for some reason tomorrow is discussing the ChatGPT Atlas Browser: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT_…
Several objections will be raised!
Some of my concerns are to do with critical reasoning, natural resources, user lock-in, the extraction of training data.... but I would appreciate hearing your thoughts about other themes I might bring up. Thanks in advance.

Duck Duck Go has added a tremendously useful feature to their search -- a permanent block. Any site can be added to a block list to never show up in any of your search results again.
I will be using this on any site that is obviously spitting out AI generated "articles."
Semi-periodic reminder that the DM feature here is utterly broken and should not be regarded as "private" in any meaningful sense. And its semantics seem designed to violate the principle of least surprise.
Example: ANYONE mentioned in a message, not just tagged at the start, is a recipient. So if you send someone a DM that says "That @mattblaze guy is an ignorant moron", I get a copy.
I was reminded of this behavior just now.

A while back I was making an animation of some caterpillars & found dragging the timeline scrubber back & forth in time with the music playing in the room most entertaining.
Now, if this makes you think "what a foolish thing to be entertained by" you probably want to scroll on. This post is not for you.
If this makes you think "hey - I want to make a caterpillar dance" then you want to click this link. Oh aye.

Can someone who uses voiceover on iOS 26 please confirm this? Or am I going mad?
Opened the kindle app, did a thing, continued with ma day. Cycled back to it later in app switcher, voiceover fully announces the app as “shit”. If you swipe up, it says close kindle. I’ve yet to check but I’m pretty certain this isn’t a drunken / stupendously high dictionary entry, as it reads kindle normally everywhere else.
We're really excited to see how you, the community, jumps to our side and helps us improving the #IzzyOnDroid repo – you're wonderful 🤗
Just 6h ago we asked for your help, and we already received several very helpful reviews on apps needing some extra pairs of eyes. Please keep it up! Together, we can achieve so much more

Bad news. This is not just kinky folks.
I was talking to some (totally straight, non-queer, non-kinky AFAIK) blind people a few yrs ago. The subject of accidental breast touches somehow came up. They were all surprised I don't "fake" such accidents, especially around sighted people who don't know any better. I was apparently the only one in that group who didn't.
