Repeated emojis in social media posts are a nightmare for screen reader users.

Here’s why, in a post from Threads, where people are filling the posts with a mass use of emojis.

Apparently, Dunkin sells donuts…

Follow these tips for emoji use if you don't want to infuriate blind and partially sighted people 🤬
- limit them to one or two per post
- don't put them between each word
- don't use them one after the other
- don't use a different emoji for each bullet point

In the original Star Trek series, the episode "The Naked Time" (S1E4) has Sulu, bare-chested, carrying an epée, wrap his arms around Uhura's waist and saying, "I'll protect you, fair maiden."

Uhura replies, "Sorry, neither."

She's neither "fair" nor a "maiden." I never clocked onto that when I was a boy.

Há um Portugal que vive nos braços de facilitadores bem relacionados e há outro que só conhece dificuldades. No primeiro, qualquer lei ou portaria pode sofrer um jeitinho em nome de investimentos; no segundo, há muito aperto e poucos “apoios”, muitos estudos e avaliações e poucas decisões.

They finally got me, too. Yesterday, after 5.5 years at Skillshare, I was laid off along with @ramsey and 21 others.

That means I'm immediately available for work. I am looking for a staff/principal software engineer role working on a foundations/platform team. I love modernising legacy applications and mentoring other engineers.

I'm based in the UK but happy to work for a company anywhere in the world - contract or perm. So let's chat. :)

in reply to Katy TransWomenAreWomen Ereira

Try modernising windows internals lol. There's still stuff from the dos days in there that no application on windows 10/11 is using. I'm doing software engineering next year at university once this foundation year is done, and I'm not looking forward to getting into the mess that is web development. X browser does this, Y browser doesn't support that, and Z browser crashes if you do this, and this weird browser you've never heard of uses this version of JS that stuff doesn't work on.

👉 The EU Commission used unlawful micro-targeting on X to promote its chat control legislation

👉 This violated the EU GDPR and undermined established democratic procedures between EU institutions

Later today, I will run part one of my "mastering #libcurl" sessions over on Twitch and Zoom. Part one is a two hour
dive into starting and some libcurl basics. Part two will go deeper and cover many more options and libcurl tricks.

This two-parter will show more libcurl code and details than you ever saw in a video before.

It'll be fun!

#NativeInstruments are having a fairly sizable sale. If you've a mind to, please consider buying through my site (at no extra cost to yourself) which helps me make more videos about libraries that are accessible. I use said funds to purchase things if I can't get NFR's from companies, so you don't have to, and so you can hear if you like the sounds or not. Many thanks.

Lily Alexandre talked about how the pandemic is active and ongoing and how things are just as bad as ever in her latest video and idk what the reverse of being gaslit is but it feels like that. Can't remember the last time I saw any video on YT that acknowledged the actual reality of the situation or even acknowledged the existence of covid at all youtu.be/CSiIG8NXrI4

In Spain we're having major changes in the rules for the evaluation of research activities (in the public sector, our research merits are evaluated every six years, a "sexenio". #ANECA, the evaluation agency, opened a public consultation about their draft for their new rules, which advance in the consideration of #OpenScience practices, including #FreeSoftware

Here are my contributions to that consultation (in Spanish) jgbarah.github.io/Notes/sexeni…

Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated
