I was gifted a copy of this book by Tor Teen Publishing. I have not read it yet. But I’m excited to read it. It follows a pair of Black, magical twins who have to solve the thirty year old murder of their mother in order to save the New Orleans magical community from utter destruction. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #amwriting #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

@blindscribe At the top of the book cover on small font it says “Blood Debts”. Below that in large font it says “Justice Will Reign”. There is a review in smaller font below the large title that says “Will have you breathless - Chloe Gong”. The author’s name is “Terry J. Benton-Walker” and appears at the bottom. Would you also like a description of the picture on the cover, as your request is only asking for the title? #Alt4You

Wiki Arch Linux CZ
Protože články s návody se zde časem mohou ztrácet a musí se hledat, rozhodl jsem se vyzkoušet nainstalovat na náš server Wiki Arch LInux CZ.

Není to úplně klasická Wiki, kterou používají ostatní distribuce, ale je tvořena formou knihovny, ve které jsou uloženy knihy s návody.

Zatím to jsou začátky, ale budu se snažit postupně návody nahrávat i na Wiki

Émilie du Châtelet, who hypothesized conservation of energy, established kinetic energy as distinct from momentum and proportional to (speed)², and combined work by Newton and Leibniz with her own original ideas in "Institutions de Physique," was born #OTD in 1706.

Du Châtelet is an important figure in the development of classical physics, but she is not nearly as well known as many of her male contemporaries.

As the incorrect version of the World's Longest Train trip map is doing the rounds again... here is the *correct* one

It's Cascais 🇵🇹 to Woodlands 🇸🇬 - a geodesic distance of 11904.73km

Add trams, metros and the Changi Airport Skytrain and you can manage 11929.33km

And if you want the full explanation it's here: jonworth.eu/the-longest-train-…

Boost request for a person who did an awesome thing for accessibility.
Hey folks, I would like to call upon the Mastodon community to boost the individual who made the Youtube video linked here. Let me explain. This wonderful person took a video that was only published in Japanese, (a video where Nintendo's Sakurai discussed The Last of Us Part 1's accessibility features in great detail talking about how great they were for quality of life), and on their own time, with their own setup, voluntarily, dubbed the video in English for us blind folks so we could appreciate it too. This especially meant a lot to me, as I worked on those accessibility features, and felt kinda honored to be indirectly complimented by Sakurai. Anyway, long story short, if you ever need this kind of voiceover work done, or audio editing, hire this guy. They deserve some promotion after this awesome work. Oh, and they are also a coder!!! Hire them for that, too! :) youtube.com/watch?v=dWosA-2-Ze…

In 1993 alt text was added to the HTML specification. Someone then posted an idea: A library where people could store and look up alt text for frequently used images. I've lost the post, and no one else that I can find has talked about it since.

I believe that the time is now, but I can no longer be who. As I announced yesterday, I am closing down the alt-text.org project, but others have expressed interest in carrying the project forward.

This year for a Christmas Holiday project, my son and I made a little app which counts down to midnight in every timezone.

He got to experience first hand the challenges of timezone math, and the fun of building a confetti cannon.

Also, was a great opportunity to teach him about Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. He didn't even know those existed, but now he does, and why they are important.

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉

Ob Golem wohl geschaut hat, wer den Artikel geschrieben hat?

golem.de/news/unified-push-f-d…

"schreibt das Team des freien Android-Appstores F-Droid" – äh… nö: "Posted on 2022-12-18 by UnifiedPush Team" 😉 Aber ja, das F-Droid Team steht auch dahinter, sonst wäre der Artikel nicht bei F-Droid eingestellt worden.

Also: Go, @unifiedpush, Go! :awesome:

@Capandrellu schaust Du zum Beispiel hier: android.izzysoft.de/applists/c… – und ja, apps müssen UP explizit unterstützen. Welcher Distributor verwendet wird kann der Anwender jedoch selbst festlegen. Und Threema besteht auf dem eigenen Push-Dienst (ich hatte da schon einmal nachgefragt). @unifiedpush

For screen reader users out there, Apple TV+ has implemented autoreading subtitles on the web. Just play any title and enable subtitles: reddit.com/r/tvPlus/comments/z… (Yes, I know the post is mine)
