We moved the Firefox Translations engineering channels from private Slack to a public Matrix channel, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. The project was a bit more closed in its infancy, but now that we are on a good track, everything is defaulting to much more open. This makes me happy.

Wonderful article from @bas on getting started with #accessibility. basbroek.nl/making-accessibili…

I love how he emphasizes that while accessibility is a vast space, we can start small and learn from the assistive technologies already built into our devices!

What is the game with the most outlandish plot you can recall?
in reply to pamela :flan_butterfly:

@yuki2501 Blaster Master. Boy's pet frog escapes, so he goes to the backyard and finds a huge hole that leads to a nuclear waste dump. Frog goes in, boy chases after. At the bottom there's a nuclear powered titanium tank that the boy boards to go on an underground adventure. The final boss whips you.


"Boeing reports $6 billion quarterly loss ahead of vote by union workers who have crippled production"

Gotta love the implicit bias.

Let's fix it:

The company doctors call "EvilCore" fits the description in every way.

Health insurance companies pay it to help them stiff policy holders. It's a scam on the American people.

Hi. Uber is looking for people to be a part of a pilot study from October 28 through December 6. If you ride with a service animal and you wanna participate, you take rides and report in on how your rides are impacted by disclosing that you have a service animal. They will give gift cards and compensation at the end amounting to $270 to compensate people for the price of the rights they took. Here's a survey that you can fill out as a first step to qualifying for participation. SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey uber.surveymonkey.com/r/7MQ9H7…


I just tried the hearing test feature of the AirPods Pro two that is available in the United States with iOS 18.1.
As expected, my hearing loss is too severe, and it will not enable hearing assistance. It claims moderate loss in the left ear, severe in the right.
Many of the tones exist in the frequency spectrum where my tinnitus is especially bad in the right ear, so I’m not surprised.
this being said, the test UX is very good and straightforward.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

I just did it as well. Really well done and easy to follow. I assume you can take it as many times as you want…


A big shout out to everyone at #A11yCamp yesterday. Sean spent a very informative day there leaning and networking on all the latest in #A11y / #Accessibility!

Photos are Sean with Riley Busch from the department of education, and a view of the Clarendon Auditorium filling up before the event started

As noted on the banner in the first photo, A11y Camp is Australia's premier conference on digital accessibility and inclusion.

@mvgorcum I love KDE connect but for some reason it doesn't work for me a lot of times.
I made sure I'm using it correctly: same network, updated to stable, turn off content blockers. Yet most of the time, my Win10 laptop & mostly vanilla Android phone can't see each other.
in reply to mesakeith

@mk_rexx I don't run windows, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help there. Maybe you can try bluetooth? If I recall correctly kdeconnect can also run over bluetooth.


Why did the art thief get caught while trying to get away from the museum?

Because he had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.

in reply to Funny Jokes

@jaybird110127 One of the puns doesn't quite land if you read that joke with eSpeak, because it pronounces Degas as "day gah".
in reply to Matt Campbell

@jaybird110127 Oh, I guess Eloquence pronounces Degas the same way. So the joke probably depends on a mispronunciation of Degas.

All right folks. I don't like doing this again, but I need 195 dollars to get out of the lnegatives before OVFF. 200 or so would be preferable, but 195 will at least get me there. I wouldn't ask this, but I get paid on Friday, and I'm afraid that if I don't have this, most of my pay'll be eaten by the negative balance. :(

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROFITS OFF TRUMP — they have an inherent bias and must NOT be taken at face value



the idea that something must be bad because it’s bad as done in the united states does follow almost logically from the idea that the united states does everything better than everywhere in the world, which is the underlying assumption of more people than will admit it


Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.

Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.

If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

The social value of rustfmt and the default Rust style is absolutely incredible. I saw someone the other day talking about the annoyance of having people reformat other people's code in a PR and do so differently/inconsistently. And I had this reaction of "...oh, yeah, that used to be a thing that came up". Huge appreciation for the #rustlang rustfmt team for all their work.




Time to stop dealing with other people's bullshit for a little while, and write some code.

I'm looking for an accessible calendar app that will allow me to build and organize schedules. As part of my graduate program, I have to develop a case load schedule as if I were a TVI visiting students in schools. I have to develop a month-long schedule, and I thought Excel would be good for that, but it's hard building a calendar and having to add multiple events per day. If anyone can recommend a great way to build and export an accessible calendar, I'd greatly appreciate that. Thanks so much.
in reply to Melissa Roe

ah. Outlook lets you copy and paste calendar items into CSV if you view it as a list, but everything else exports is ical unfortunately.
in reply to Sean Randall

I mean, unfortunately for your use case. ical has been around for 25 years. CSV sa a visual format for events seems a bit of an oadd duck


It must be awesome to be so rich that you get warnings about crimes you are committing, as opposed to, like, getting arrested like normal people.
