I think it's been almost five years since I first pointed out that if GNU wanted to revitalize itself, one way would be an large effort to port old C stuff (like coreutils) to Rust, to improve quality--and attract new energy and people.
It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.
And today, on what random piece of software will I now not be able to use today because of my disability, we have Discord! Embeds, something that worked flawlessly for years and did not need to be touched, now no longer read to my screen reader. A GitHub webhook gets read like this now: GitHub APP , , Yesterday at 20:20 Message". Going into browse mode and reading shows literally nothing, so it's like they're setting aria-hidden on it. I'm going back to bed. I hate technology.
Great, just what we need, more accessibility BS. I also notice that at least on Mac, Discord now has buttons that just say "image" with the label next to it. if you tab through the controls like I sometimes do, you'll miss them.
@jdking92 @ZBennoui TBH, everything sucks. I use both equally right now and every time I go back and forth I hit something that just pisses me off on either platform. Also in your specific case Ableton, and audio things in general are so much better on Mac. Windows screen readers really fall apart in terms of efficiency because of the emphasis on tab-centric navigation. Something I can get to with a simple VO-F to search or VO-I for the item chooser on Mac might take 15 or 20 tabs to find on Windows.
A social media user on Monday shared at least part of a “60 Minutes” segment about a prison in El Salvador—where the Trump administration sent hundreds of migrants—after CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss controversially blocked its release.
Smart TVs have become a central part of home entertainment, but accessibility is still often treated as an afterthought. For visually impaired users, choosing
Been listening to these guys for like 10 years at this point, love everything they do. If you can, I would link to the actual episode so their listener stats come through correctly.
We’re thrilled to announce that AbilityNet has received a Recognition Award at the 10th anniversary of the Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative (RIDI) Awards.
We were out shopping at Barrington Mall today and I was surprised to see this big sign saying “Shopping is pointless” next to a photo of a happy woman in a field of flowers.
My first thought was that it’s some surprisingly on point anti-commercialism messaging to see in a mall at Christmas time.
Then I realised that a word was being blocked from view. When I made a few steps to the left, the whole sign reads “Shopping elsewhere is pointless.”
In short, François Legault and the Health minister of the day, despite all medical advice to the contrary, are letting a huge swath of the population of Québec go unvaccinated against #COVID19.
Get the cheapest plastic and the strongest adhesive so that whenever you remove the protective layer it instantly shrivels onto itself. “It curls, too.”
I just wrote up a list of the things that I can think of that the Trump regime has done which target disabled people. I might edit this post as time goes on. mikegorse.substack.com/p/trump…
There have been not one, not two, but several actions that the Trump administration has taken that target people with disabilities, so I decided to compile a list.
