MAGA: I have locked us all in this room and nobody can leave unless you let me drown this baby.
DEMS: Obviously no what the fuck
MAGA: Okay then I guess it's your fault we're locked in then.
DEMS: You're the one who locked the door.
MAGA: Yeah but you won't let us drown this baby tho so this is entirely your fault.
DEMS: You literally have all the power. You have all the keys.
MAGA: C'mon man just let us drown this baby we really really wanna! And then we can all go home for Christmas!
DEMS: Wait... What's that smell? Smells like... smoke?
MAGA: Oh yeah the house is on fire. Probably should've mentioned that.
DEMS: ON FIRE?? JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!
MAGA: Yeah I know man, too bad you won't just let us drown this baby. Looks like we're all going to burn instead.
DEMS: Look just give me the baby and unlock the door. We still have time to get out of here alright!
MAGA: *sigh* no can do, buckaroo. See, this baby? It's gotta get drowned first, one way or another.
DEMS: BUT WHY THOUGH
MAGA: Yanno...just seems like the right thing to do. Sort of like that time I set the house on fire.
DEMS: You're fucking insane.
MAGA: Oh real mature, asshole. Calling us names at a time like this with the house on fire, and this baby STILL not drowned.
DEMS: Oh shit I just remembered, the fire extinguisher! Remember that fire extinguisher I bought us a few years ago? Do we still have that?
MAGA: Oh this? Yep still got it. It's awesome by the way.
DEMS: Oh thank Christ we're saved!
MAGA: But obviously we can't use it.
DEMS: WHY THE FUCK NOT
MAGA: Because it's for EMERGENCIES you dummy. Jeez Louise do I have to do all the thinking around here?
DEMS: THIS IS A FUCKING EMERGENCY YOU DILDO
MAGA: You're always so emotional. That's why nobody likes you.
DEMS: If. You. Use. The. Fire. Extinguisher. Nobody. Dies. And. Everyone. Can. Leave.
MAGA: Or you could just let me drown this baby.
DEMS: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
MAGA: Okay look we'll take a vote on it. All in favor of letting us drown this baby?
DEMS: NO!
8 DEMS: maybe
DEMS: what the fuck was that?
8 DEMS: let's at least hear him out.
DEMS: Yes let's hear out the psychopath who set the house on fire and wants to drown a baby. Great idea.
MAGA: Ok ok look I can see we're close to agreement here, so
DEMS: The fuck we are.
MAGA: So... I propose a compromise. I'll unlock the door and stop setting any more fires, and we can figure out whether to drown this baby *later*.
DEMS: Absolutely the fuck no.
8 DEMS: how much later.
MAGA: idk maybe tomorrow or next week or something?
DEMS: You know you can't trust them, right? Tell me you know you can't trust them.
MAGA: Depends on how quickly I can gather some more kindling and matches.
DEMS: What the fuck was that?
MAGA: Nothing. You're hearing things. So do we have a deal?
DEMS: NO
8 DEMS: yes
MAGA: Great! Let me just drown this baby real quick and we can all get out of here!

For whatever it's worth, tree views are completely inaccessible on Mac OS, and this has been a problem for years.
I know that's not what you're asking for, but might be worth knowing.

Here's the complete timeline of events. From my first denial to travel to the US until I eventually received a tourist visa. And then I can't go anyway. December 5-11, 2016 I spent a week on Hawaii with Mozilla - my employer at the time.daniel.haxx.se
After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.
I wrote about these feelings. Join me in building a better future:

Re: last boost (mastodon.stickbear.me/@evilcoo…), first a little context especially for my sighted followers: As I understand it, that post is particularly about apps that, while technically accessible to blind people, aren't as pleasant to use with a screen reader as they could be. Yes, it's often necessary to deal with such apps to some degree. But, especially within the blind community, we shouldn't criticize each other for having limited tolerance for such things and choosing accordingly.
I'm just going to put this out there because I know I'm going to have more than one person. Ask. When you ask me why I don't use such and such app, and I tell you it's because it's messy, that's perfectly valid. I shouldn't have to swipe through seven controls just to get from post to post. Also, please don't tell me it's not a big deal. When I'm frustrated with something that doesn't work and you come back with. It's not a big deal, that makes me feel invalid. I don't like it. What might not be a big deal for you? Might piss me off to no end. Don't do that. It's not cool.
Absolutely right. It is particularly painful reading posts from apologists of apps like Discord and Steam because they're quote "better than they used to be" unquote (which in the case of Steam was unusable).
When legitimate accessibility work has gone into improving a thing, it should be acknowledged and supported while not equating progress with perfection. Accepting accessibility scraps is not a positive thing.

I'm not getting the sense that things are improving.
I don't use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don't trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don't want to reveal a real phone number because I don't want ads from nobody.
I don't need to see my parent's faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
"In the budget speech this year, commission president Ursula von der Leyen made a bold statement that AI is expected to approach human reasoning by next year."
Die Nächste, nach (bzw. vor) Wildberger.
"Surprised by this statement, I asked the commission to provide me with documents .."
"The commission’s response was not filled with references to the scientific literature. Instead, the Commission referred to the essays and books by tech CEOs."
Unglaublich.

If you need to troubleshoot your UnifiedPush setup on Linux, there is now a small app for this on Flathub.
You can check whether your push service is correctly visible, whether you can interact with it correctly, and whether it is receiving push notifications.
Might provide a link? Can't find it if I'm searching for "Unified Push"
