So there's a way to get the Steam app to play nice with screen readers.

Go to your desktop and highlight your Steam icon. Open your applications menu, go to properties and add -gamepadui to the end of the string. Make sure there's a space between the quote marker and the dash or it won't work.

You might have to login again, but this throws the app into a beta of the Steam Deck UI which fuck me sideways is very NVDA friendly. There's some bugs here and there, but this is lightyears better than what we had to deal with before.

You know what, I like the ending paragraph. Mastodon is not essential software. It's OK for it to be unreachable sometimes. If someone gets angry at not being able to always and immediately access their instance, maybe they should take a deep breath. There is so much more to life than social media.
I almost even feel like this is a hot take and I'm a little bit worried about posting it. But I still feel it's true.
Thanks for the guide!

Co aktuálně čtete?

Já zrovna dočetl Mokrou rybu a vrhl se na Tichého zabijáka. Obě to jsou detektivní knihy od německého autora Volkera Kutschera , jedná se o 1. a 2. díl ze série a odehrávají se v meziválečném Německu. Podle kníh byl natočen seriál Babylon Berlín.

Já mám sérii dočtenou, akorát jsem původně začal číst až od 4. dílu, protože jsem si toho v knihovně nevšiml. Tím, že se případy neprolínají, tak to ani nevadilo a já tak dnes jen doháním dluh :D

So let me offer a better one: Evan is one of the reasons we are all here. He is credited as one of the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol:
w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Back in the day (a decade ago), he also used to run the biggest instance of #StatusNet, identi.ca. My old account is still there, even though I have lost access to it:

StatusNet was the precursor of fedi.

Welcome, Evan!

Yesterday I have discovered this amazing call recording app for #Android. It's called #BCR. Apart of its settings it has no UI, it detects both incoming and outgoing calls when they are picked up not when you are making them, it supports storage access framework, it uses android system decoders, it has quick tile toggle, it generates consistent file names with optional contact names, it can be installed as a magisk module. Ihave translated it into slovak. It's really very light on resources and works great. github.com/chenxiaolong/BCR/

Good news for the @Mastodon #iOS app‘s #VoiceOver support. @jedfox has been on a roll these last few days and has added some really awesome #accessibility related pull requests to the public repository. Hope they all get merged soon and new TestFlight builds be made available so we can test them out before release. Among the fixes is the compose button, custom actions, better labels in the compose screen, and more.

Hope @Gargron or @zeitschlag can approve and merge them soon. #a11y

I turned off cross-posting from and to Twitter now. It just doesn’t work for me. It feels weird to see RTs here and Mastodon handles on Twitter.

Mastodon is not a cheap copy of the hellsite, but a platform of its own with a healthy, respectful community. 💚

I will, however, microblog on my own personal website more and syndicate the posts to different platforms. #IndieWeb FTW! I wrote about it here:
