Hi all, Accessibility is one of those topics that is often ignored until it’s too late, at times deliberately, and at other times completely by accident.
Some time ago I have written an article about interesting way to use Strings in #Swift. If you wish, feel free to take a look and tell me what I did wrong.
We've been doing this a while. Let's SWING for the big leagues. Tomorrow, we're doing a deep dive on #burpSuite from a #screenReader perspective. It will be mostly #blind (as in playthrough) as I've not looked at this program for a few years, and fully blind (as in sight) given ... well ... screenReader user :)

scratch, the 'language' for teachings kids the basics of #programming, has better first class support for async work than a bunch actual programming languages
We got up to 71 followers in not even a day. That is honestly meteoric. Tomorrow at 3 PM EST I'll do a first #stream. We'll make us a #TryHackMe account, go through the new user flow, maybe do a room or two while looking at the various #accessibility gotchas we run into. In future streams we'll do similar for HTB, HTBA etc. as well as more #programming related things but tomorrow ...we leave pallet town all mozie-like. See you all then! #twitch #infoSec #selfPromo
So ...let's face it. A LOT of folks in tech circles are somewhat amazed a fully #blind person can even find the power button on a computer, let alone operate it professionally. I am such a person, and I'd like to bust that myth. It's also true that many #hacking tools, platforms, courses etc. could use some help in the #accessibility department. It's a neverending vicious circle. Enter my new twitch channel, IC_null. On this channel, I will be streaming #programming and #hacking content including THM, HTB and who knows what else, from the perspective of a #screenReader user. What I need, is an audience. If this is something you reckon you or anybody you know might be interested in, drop the channel a follow or share this post. Gimme that #infoSec Mastodon sense of comradery and help me out to make this idea an actual thing :) twitch.tv/ic_null #tryHackMe #streamer #selfPromo
None of the major Rust web frameworks have a great error reporting story. We try to implement robust error logging with both axum and Actix Web and then compare the results with Pavex, an upcoming Rust web framework.
So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.
I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"
Since other people are discussing these things, always a good reminder that on #scala using cats-effect library and using #FunctionalProgramming these thing are properly abstracted away nowadays and on daily usage one finally barely has to care at all about it. - typelevel.org/cats-effect/docs…
Feedback wanted: I made a drop-in JSON replacement that produces smaller payloads. It's for busy programmers who want a quick win. evanhahn.com/jsos-proof-of-con…
It might be a bad idea! Please let me know what you think.
#Yaga #mod for the #Gothic #game status update. Recently the Open Gothic reimplementation of the ZenGin engine became quiet stable which let me to wonder whether it wouldn’t be easier to port YAGA to this engine, instead of relying on the Union SDK which is basically a set of reverse-engineered classes of the original ZenGin engine. This way, we get macOS compatibility, future-proof support for future Windows releases, ETC. That means a lot of Yaga’s code base would have to be rewritten from scratch, but that’s with the benefit. Tell me what you guys think, and let’s comment on this issue if you have some valuable insights
Introduction Hello everyone. My name is Nuno and I have been working on the YAGA project which aims to make Gothic I, Gothic II/Gothic II NotR accessible and playable for blind players. The current...
