Bei meinem Vortrag auf dem 38c3 habe ich gezeigt, dass die deutsche Zweigstelle der International Association of Accessibility Professionals peinliche & falsche Übersetzungen, die den Sinn einer Prüfungs-Aufgabe für eine Zertifizierung entstellen, veröffentlicht hat.
Sie haben danach noch sehr lange rumgeeiert und mich der Lüge bezichtigt, obwohl der Beweis direkt auf der Folie war und ich auch mehreren (!) IAAP-Mitgliedern gegenüber die entsprechende Quelle gezeigt habe.

WTF can imagine their cli/gui displaying errors from underneath curl… Yet cannot get how curl license/contact can be first thing rookies are able to access before theirs ??? !!!
I have no any FORScan product but have a question about it (last link ;)

In a past life, I did an internet radio show, called "Things and Stuff", where much of my time was spent messing with buttons, sliders and knobs, talking about and demonstrating weird things, and playing music.
On December 23, 2017, I did one of only two pre-recorded shows in the 14 years that Things and Stuff existed, this being that year's Christmas-themed show.
Should you care to throw a bunch of Christmas things at your face, including a look back at recordings of somewhat incriminating Perdue family Christmases from every year between 1986 and 2017, except for 1997, as presented by me and another me (who doesn't talk to themselves every now and then), you can do so, at least until I get around to removing all the 2016 through 2019 archives from the place they are currently being hosted.
Now, if that's not incentive, I don't know what is.
We can't put enough gratitude in the character limit for everything our community has helped us do this year, so we wrote a recap blog. Thank you everyone who made this all happen! 💙 🙌

I'm listening with the wife, but we're only half way through the first book so far. Finding time is hard with the baby.
It's weird how I've actually read well over 4 million words of fanfiction, but actually only read the original series 3 times (once as a first read, again for me to log on my goodreads, and a third time with my daughter. She's listened to all the audiobooks many times, but I read them all to her myself when she was younger.
She's looking forward to the new TV series next year.
I imagine these full cast recordings are bringing the stories to another generation, too.
Just tried getting a program to run that didn't want to.
"ooh I forgot I have that thing called a coding agent, let's see what it can do."
Two minutes (and a few really weird binary metadata inspection tricks) later, I have the command that makes the program run.
Not being very familiar with the environment, I'd be surprised if I could pull it off inside an hour if I had to do it all myself.
New #screenReader verbosity settings for messages are now widely available in #Slack, under the #accessibility category of preferences. You can now control which parts of messages are spoken and in what order.
As part of this change, you'll also find that recent replies in threads now have relative timestamps (e.g. "just now" or "2 minutes ago") instead of absolute ones. This update brings the screen reader experience in line with the visual interface, with absolute timestamps still being used outside of threads.
If you have suggestions or run into problems, please use the /feedback command and mention that you use a screen reader. Alternatively I'm also happy to pass along any issues if I can reproduce them.

That is now the case in threads, mirroring the visual display that's had relative timestamps for years. In channels and DMs outside of threads, they'll still be absolute.
That change probably does mean you now have the new screen reader verbosity settings available though.

Mein Gastbeitrag ist heute in der WELT (Debatte) erschienen:
„Eingliederungshilfe: Doch, wir müssen uns persönliche Assistenz auch künftig leisten!“
Ich schreibe das nicht als abstrakte Position, sondern aus der Praxis: Ich arbeite im Bundesarchiv, bin (kleiner) Unternehmer und ehrenamtlich engagiert. Das funktioniert nur, weil persönliche Assistenz mir die Handgriffe ersetzt, die mein Körper nicht leisten kann – 24/7 im Schichtsystem. Nicht als „Luxus“, sondern als Voraussetzung dafür, überhaupt Verantwortung zu übernehmen und produktiv Teil dieser Gesellschaft zu sein.
Im Text geht es u. a. um drei Punkte:
• warum 24/7-Assistenz in der Realität Sicherheit und Selbstständigkeit bedeutet – nicht Komfort
• warum die Alternative häufig Heim/Institution oder Überlastung von Angehörigen heißt (und oft teurer ist)
• warum die Bürokratie rund um mehrere Kostenträger, Nachweise und Verordnungen selbst ein Kosten- und Kraftfresser ist – und was man daran besser machen könnte, ohne Transparenz zu opfern
Ich freue mich über eine sachliche Diskussion – gern auch kontrovers, aber fair.

Berlin, 18 December 2025 – LibreOffice 25.8.4, the fourth minor update to the free office suite developed by volunteers for personal productivity in office environments on Windows, MacOS and Linux, is now available from the download page.Italo Vignoli (The Document Foundation)
Thank you all for such a great office suite.
I use the flatpack on Linux Mint, and it updated automatically. There are dozens of little things like this that make both Linux & LibreOffice so convenient and hassle free.
You folks rock!
RE: toot.cafe/@baldur/115740595660…
This post is a good example of why truth and factuality same thing. This is the most viscerally true thing I’ve read in a long while, but the degree to which it’s factual or not is largely irrelevant. It feels like a kick in the gut nonetheless
(It is tagged as ‘non-fiction, so it probably is factual)

RE: someplace.social/@jonathan859/…
Guess what, btw, I haven't been contacted regarding my work time tomorrow until now. My taxi isn't informed yet, and I have now proactively messaged the responsible person. I'd love to just stay at home if I don't get an answer, but sadly this is my fucking job and I don't need even more trouble.
My vocational school class is going to the cinema next Friday, actually, not even just the class, several other classes from the school. Our English teacher was (apparently) able to select a movie from the catalog. But, guess what, oh no how sad, the film has no audio description, but but, we even asked the cinema, so sorry, we need to find an alternative for you. The alternative is that while my classmates to whom I already am separated thanks to several other factors of my disability enjoy themselves next Friday, I'll be sitting at the office (being given the time to work on school stuff), and of course I don't have to stay the full time. You know I'm not even angry, this was totally no surprise to me but it's so fucking ridiculous.
Every time there's news from Mozilla we see a lot of takes around here along the lines of: they're clueless, their heads are in the sand, they don't know their userbase.
Alternative interpretation: We're looking at another case very much like Bluesky - a corporation with somewhat-openwashed branding which knows exactly who their userbase is, hates it, and wants a different one.
The rationale is clear enough; the browser is just a massive opportunity for datamining. The "AI" startups can only dream of controlling a browser with even the marketshare of Firefox. In that light, it's no use having a userbase of technically competent, privacy-aware dissidents who can work around the extractive dark patterns. Let's face it people, we're not profitable to surveillance capitalism

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.
We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

September 2025: There are lots of rainbow arches and pavements around Iceland, but this has to be my favourite.
The LGBTQ+ pride colours changing to transgender pride and back again at the far end is a clever idea.
The location of many happy marriages, I'm sure, this pavement can be found at Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of #Iceland.

Lesbians of the world!
(and also other people I suppose)
I have one remaining thing to get/do/arrange ahead of Chrimbo (excluding all of the other stuff).... and that is get a present for my eldest kiddo. Just between us so be cool and don't say anything, but she's proposing to her girlfriend on Tuesday so (assuming she doesn't tell her to get on her bike) it looks like I will be inheriting a brand new daughter in law, which I'm very excited about. However - I have got ZERO ideas for a Christmas present for one or either or both of them and I thought it might be nice to do something that also encompasses their engagement.
I ask for lesbian engagement because I don't recall having a lesbian wedding in the family before (I have GOT to stop calling it a lesbian wedding) and wondered if there's some cool secret lesbian ideas for engagement and Christmas presents that I haven't yet thought of. So I'd be really grateful if you could get on the secret lesbian underground network, do the special secret lesbian handshake, give me temporary lesbian authorisation/clearance and help me come up with ideas because at the moment they are terrible. It's all..... Vouchers for a nice dinner, which is BULLSHIT. In my head I want to get them like quad-biking and such, but I can't help feel that's mildly offensive and they're not really action-lesbians. I've definitely said the word lesbian too much.

We had some more hiccups in the past day with images: the blurring-API (kindly provided to us by @panoramax for free) was down. This meant that images would be uploaded but would not be shown, instead showing the message 'your image is being processed'

Chtěl jsem dneska makat na webu.
No, mám pocit, že to nevyjde.
Sice se mi fakt chtělo, ale… 😇
Ráno psala manželka, že si zapomněla průkazku do práce, housle a noty.
Tak jsem jí to samozřejmě “musel” přivézt.
Cestou jsem se stavil pro suroviny a už namáčím čočku (bude na kyselo).

in reply to Casey • • •Deswegen nehmen wir uns jetzt mal die Nachteilsausgleich-Policy der IAAP DACH für ihr „Knowledge Badge“ zum Thema „Barrierefrei Lehren“ vor.
Die ist… schräg — um es freundlich zu formulieren. Ihr findet sie unter iaap-dach.org/files/Downloads/….
Sie schließt ganz zentral die meisten Neurodivergenzen, Seh- und Körperbehinderungen aus, es gibt keine Instanz bei der man sich über das Nicht-gewähren von Nachteilsausgleichen durch die beaufsichtigende Person beschweren kann.
Casey
in reply to Casey • • •Außerdem steht darin folgendes:
- Für die Prüfung sollten Sie nach Möglichkeit Ihren eigenen Laptop mitbringen, da nur so die
Nutzung Ihrer assistiven Technologien sichergestellt werden kann. Bitte beachten Sie, dass
die vor Ort bereitgestellten Computer keine assistiven Technologien oder sonstige Software
enthalten.
- Wenn Sie assistive Technologien mit Audioausgabe (z. B. Screenreader) verwenden, ist die
Nutzung von Kopfhörern zwingend erforderlich
Casey
in reply to Casey • • •Wie ists mit lauten Braillezeilen oder belüfteten Hilfsmitteln? Was, wenn ich auch eine Hörbehinderung habe, die die Nutzung von Kopfhörern unmöglich macht? Was ist, wenn ich Schaltersteuerungen benutzen muss oder Spracheingabe, und dadurch erheblich langsamer bin? Was, wenn ich ADHS oder Autismus habe und mich in einem Raum mit anderen Prüflingen nicht konzentrieren kann?
Tja, dann ist das Angebot der internationalen Vereinigung der Barrierefreiheitsspezialist*innen für dich unzugänglich.
