So, the fediverse bot I'm working on is for social games. You can read a bit about it here, and check out the code from the repository and so on if you like. For now it's not functional, it just does an event loop and some event processing: modulus.isonomia.net/pravda.cg…

Good news for #DoctorWho fans, the launch of the Doctor Who archive on IPlayer is finally happening, according to doctorwho.tv/news-and-features…

This is also a historic event for the blind and visually impaired, as well as deaf and hard of hearing fans, because the article states: "Every episode on iPlayer from the back catalogue will be available with multiple accessibility options, including subtitles, audio description, and sign language."

Classic Who audio described to me is a dream come true, and I am sure it will be appreciated by many. Allons-y, Jelly Babies await!

“I am so thankful for the creation of NVDA. It has really changed my life. With NVDA, I do not have to worry about spending tons of extra money on third party software to use a computer. I can purchase any new computer that I want, and I can use it for the same cost as a sighted person” – Reina, United States.

I switched to conhost instead of Windows Terminal yesterday. Today, I closed a command prompt window and immediately received ... wait for it ... 6463 identical NVDA errors. The error tone played continuously for about two minutes while NVDA struggled to play 6000 instance of the wave file, each interrupting the last, and write all the errors to the log file.
Additionally, if I try to invoke a tmux or screen session, NVDA stops automatically reading output and I can't find a way to fix it.
On the other hand, if I switch to Windows Terminal again, my entire machine becomes unusable after about 15 minutes of having any terminal window open, and the memory usage slowly climbs to ridiculous heights until I close all terminal windows and start over. I've seen it hit 1.2 GB.
So I can switch to macOS where I'm pretty sure terminal output still interrupts itself, or use TDSR on either platform, which is looking like a really nice idea, or switch to Linux, where terminal works great but lots of other things don't. Or I can smash all my computers with a hammer.

Mohl by někdo doporučit lightweight alternativu k #Redmine? Která by uměla jednoduchý task tracker (v podstatě pouze jednoduchý todolist se statusem jednotlivých tasků a přiřazením k určitým lidem), ovšem důležitá je taky možnost propojení s emailem, aby šlo odpovídat na maily ze systému a ty by se pak objevily buď jako komentáře tasku či nové tasky.

Jde mi o to, aby systém dovedl používat BFU. Ten email proto, aby se do systému ani nemusel přihlásit a přesto ho mohl používat.

Redmine je fajn, ale na jednoduché projekty je krkolomný, většina featur je zbytečná a z hlediska BFU není zrovna přívětivý.

(vím že existuje Trello a spol, ale rád bych to instaloval na vlastní server, čili nejlépe nějaký opensource projekt)

Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

A question to the #Tech bubble: I would like to use #Thunderbird with a bunch of shared calendars over Caldav. I had this issue two years ago and now here it comes again: Thunderbird becomes very slow as soon as all these calendars are added. They contain plenty of events each, many of them are reoccuring and I have tried both with and without offline support and also disabling autorefresh on some of those. I recall that back when I had the issue last, switching the view to show just one calendar at a time would help but to no avail now. Is this something I have to live with in 2023? ###Mozilla #OpenSource

Not sure if this site is well known outside the niche community of researchers of late Russian Empire klezmer. It gives free access to streaming versions of the Ukrainian National Library's reissue CDs of wax cylinders of #klezmer, #Yiddish song, #nigunim, etc. from the 1910s through the 1930s. Most of these were recorded on folklore collecting expeditions in the Pale of Settlement or later in Soviet Ukraine and Belarus. Some very scratchy, fascinating stuff.

This is great! I use Libreoffice for much of my work, though there are some aspects that make it difficult for visual accessibility reasons.

The first issue: the flip point where text becomes white or black based on the cell color in the spreadsheet is incorrect, as a result, a lot of mid range cell colors end up with text that's not readable (unless the text color is overridden).

Another: the highlight color for certain buttons in the UI when the system is in dark mode makes the text unreadable on the button.

I'm at your disposal if you have any questions about any visual accessibility issues.

On the website you're working on today, find a stylesheet and add the following rule.

```
*, *:hover {
cursor: none !important;

That forces you to use the keyboard. If you find something that makes it hard or impossible to do using the keyboard, fix it! Not just for yourself but for everyone relying on keyboard accessibility.

Encouraging sighted gamers to try an audio game
Hey sighted gamers, I'm gonna try to get you to step out of your comfort zone a bit. Yes, believe it or not, despite the game I'm about to promote, this post is not for the blind gamers out there... unless you somehow haven't played it before. Anyway, here goes. While writing my book, I've been tempted to play some games again, and one of them is a game called alt-frequencies. It's a game where the entire story is told in the form of radio broadcasts which you can influence by recording clips from one station and sending them to another. The game is mostly linear, however you can affect the story by sending different clips to different stations, and yes, there are multiple endings. It has minimal graphics, but this game is all about the audio. Sighted gamers, step out of your comfort zone. Try it. It's available on PC, Switch, and mobile, and it's very high-quality. If you want more recommendations, I've got those too. Thanks for reading!
