Hey @prism question for you. In WhatsApp, if I'm contacted by someone who isn't in my contacts, but I'd like to add them, there seems to be a difference in the pop-up I get whether I use VO actions to add a contact versus me double tapping towards the top of the screen on their number and going down to add a contact from there. If I open their detail page and create a contact, their info is filled in, including their name and number. If I do it using the VoiceOver actions, the only thing that gets filled in is their name. Would it be possible to change it so that the dialogue you get is consistent across both?

I am working on some Gemini related stuff (the protocol, not Google AI) and would be interested in hearing about how Gemini stacks up from an accessibility perspective. Are there any specific clients or screen readers that work best? Is there any specific Gemini formatting that helps or hinders? Is there any accessible-specific content that you think should be made available via Gemini?

On a related note, am I wrong in thinking that Gemini is well suited to a low/no vision user? And if so, why?

this haunts me:

“The processes that slow engineers down are the same processes that make their work legible to the rest of the company. And that legibility (in dollar terms) is more valuable than being able to produce software more efficiently.”

Anyone in the #GearSquad (or out of it) have these Adam Audio D3V monitors? My long suffering Eris 3.5s have developed an intermittent buzz, so it is time for an upgrade....

I’ve just canceled my @heiseonline subscription which I’ve had for don’t know how long, definitely more than a decade. Reason is that Heise is part of the German lobby organization “Die Familienunternehmen,” which is problematic in itself – but that organization recently decided to cooperate with a German fascist party. While a number of other companies saw the public criticism and decided to withdraw their membership, Heise published this bullshit statement: heisegroup.de/presse/Zur-aktue…. It can be summed up as “we don’t want to talk about politics.” No further questions, goodby Heise.

My mum passed away 32 years ago. Every year her best friend (who had a hand in raising me after mum died) sends me a nice message. Every year - because my take on things is that any good news stories in my family are as a direct result of her kindness, love and patience - I send her a breakdown of all of the nice things happening with the kids. Every year she sends me a response to that, which hands down is fuckn hilarious. She's a no nonsense Austrian woman of advancing years, with an extremely dry sense of humour.

Her response this year.... "What a wonderfully long and interesting report."

Je viens de trouver un exemplaire du Catalogue d'objets introuvables de Jacques Carelman d'occasion, je suis refaite !

C'est un livre que j'ai passé des heures à feuilleter gamine, j'ai hâte de re-découvrir toutes les inventions farfelues 💚

Been having Claude Code giving me "assignments" to help me learn a new (huge) code base and tbh it's working REALLY well. As a manager it's important I understand the technology my team builds, but I'm rarely writing much shipping code these days. I'm someone that learns by doing, so being able to plow thru a code base like a college CS assignment and by the end of the day have a solid understanding of how it works is a really cool use case!

Codestats, my small CLI tool to give you detailed analysis about a folder of source code, just got a new update to version 0.3.1. It adds many new languages (bringing the total up to 384), fixes a couple problems with language detection, and makes the tool run much, much faster by using more optimized string algorithms and memory mapping for large files! On my Linux machine, analyzing my home directory with absolutely no caches went from taking about 9.5 seconds to just over 8. You can install with cargo install codestats, or download binaries here:
Linux (x86-64 Debian glibc): github.com/trypsynth/codestats…
Windows (x64): github.com/trypsynth/codestats…
Enjoy!

I switched back to Android and truly honestly tried to use all the default AI stuff that Google is trying to push forward.

I probably lasted 45 minutes before disabling everything.

The initial "fascinating" nuance of having auto reply, suggestions, "intelligent" context recognition, and so on, quickly was replaced by annoying and incorrect results, constant interruptions and prompts and popups that made using my phone just painful.

Years of development wasted on features that don't work

Amsterdam airport is deploying reverse vending machines to collect used plastic bottles and cans. Their unique feature is that they are able to pay back deposit to any European payment card.

Unfortunately, they let some Dutch person write the English text making it totally obscure to foreigners: what the heck should "reverse pin transaction" mean and how I'm supposed to put in PIN if there's no pinpad? 🙄

RE: cosocial.ca/@ResearchForTheFro…

Are you as enraged as I am by the new Canada-Alberta energy MOU?

One way you can take action is by supporting communities and grassroots movements that are fighting for climate and environmental justice, including land defenders facing unwanted oil and gas pipelines.

This pipeline will never happen, and we'll make f**cking sure of it.
