Good morning everyone! As you all know if you follow me, I'm a sighted dev whose focus is on accessibility for the blind. I got into the space of accessibility and learned how important it was because I joined an accessibility jam and got first hand experience speaking with blind gamers. So I'm inviting you to the type of jam that changed my outlook! So join the discord for "Games for blind gamers" and ask your questions!

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

A brilliant new Black Mirror-style sci-fi thriller by the star of Red Dwarf and Fully Charged.

Shadow
The Ghost Camera is a gripping sci-fi thriller in which a British hi-tech start-up accidentally discovers an alternative use for one of their inventions – by creating a tiny, momentary black hole in a lab, they can capture images that defy all attempts to explain them.
Morris is a laboratory janitor in Oxford and is perfectly happy with his lot.
When Morris accepts company stock as overtime pay, he never expects to be caught in the middle of an extraordinary discovery – a camera that captures images from through time, not space.
Told through Morris’s own observations, but also through clippings from newspapers, tech magazines and websites from all over the world –
The Ghost Camera offers a Black Mirror-style parable about where technology might lead us.

While LLM output looks promising and true, there is always something wrong — and you won't find it unless you have experience in the subject area.
For carthography AI is especially bad, because nobody writes proper documentation, so there is nothing to train on.
Here are three examples of Ian's LLM photo-to-tags bridge integrated into Every Door. While opening hours detection works great, everything else... Can you spot what's wrong in each tag list?
How do I know who and when edited a place? On the editor pane header there is a clock button, which shows the object history, highlighting tag changes. Go back in time and see how OSM grew!
Thanks to George Honeywood for submitting a pull request adding that panel.
In the past couple weeks, I'm increasingly looking towards @MapComplete : its thematic editing and linear geometry tools would be very helpful when I finally get myself to survey speed limits in my area.
Every Door can do much, but not all. That's why many mappers have multiple apps on their phones: StreetComplete, Organic Maps, OsmAnd, Vespucci, Go Map... And MapComplete in a browser tab.
