Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

  • It was a draft PR too

  • And force me to compile on my own computer!? I’ll find out I broke treated features via email, thank you very much!

  • Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds

  • In case there was ever any doubt who was paying the tariffs, I guess…

  • this absolute bullshit from reddit

  • Reddit was so important in my life, each of these steps is more saddening. I’ve come to realize that that company can’t and won’t make the spaces that matter to us: we were always the ones doing it.

  • I got my Clicks Power Keyboard!

  • It zooms in on the whole screen and follow focus works as expected. I haven’t tried this, but you can enable full keyboard access and should be able to pan with the keyboard, although you may need to adjust shortcuts. Speaking of shortcuts, the keyboard doesn’t have arrow keys, but you can use Symbol plus WASD.

  • WebAIM Screen Reader User Survey #11

  • This one felt pretty short to me.

    I appreciate the question about disability so we get less cross-contamination between use by disabled people and developers or auditors: the objectives are different and so are the usage patterns and needs.

    The question about AI was also pretty nuanced. This might be one of the best editions of the survey.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

  • The game has a really vocal fan base, I love it!

    Making failure fun is one of the hardest things to learn when running games and it’s super understood that they managed to do it in this format.

  • James Hoffmann - The Truly Absurd Secrets of An Incredible Americano

  • Interesting. Academic, like the rest of the video, but definitely interesting!

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

  • I’ve been playing Disco Elysium for a few months, a few hours here and there on weekends.

    It’s so interesting. I don’t usually play games that are so clearly based on tabletop RPGs.

    There are obvious rolls, but also lots of passive rolls that happen behind the proverbial GM screen you might not notice if you’re not used to TTRPGs.

    There are also clever ways to “no, but” after failed rolls. Situations where a game master would just want to railroad the players into success, for the benefit of the narrative. Having been in that position, I respect the way this is pulled off.

    I also enjoy the options for doing completely unhinged things. Obviously counterproductive things that may bring up a “you can certainly try” or a “sure, why not?” at the table.

    In terms of accessibility the interface text gets pretty big, the highlighting for points of interests isn’t bad at all and the voiceover for speech is very nice, even if a lot of text ends up not being read.

    This is essentially a point and click game, so I ended up having to buy a vertical mouse for it.

    Overall, it’s been a great experience. I’m into it.

  • Hey @ACBNational @nationsblind @Unitedblindleaders hope you guys are keeping tabs on these age verification moves by various platforms locking out #blind and #disabled users, #Discord is about to

  • Relevant announcement from Discord.

    This is going to be a bad time, because both making a video of your face and photographing your ID are barriers.

    Living in the land of fancy electronic IDs for everybody, I didn’t even consider the drivers license issue. Not fun.

  • How is everyone doing this evening? I'm sitting in bed drinking my medical food shake, listening to music, with a few #IncrementalGames idling, and maybe doing a bit of #Python practice on

  • I have shakes for when I don’t have the time or spoons for making food. Sometimes I throw some peanut butter or jam in there for flavor variety. That might work for you.

  • The Hoop - accessible pour over coffee brewer - James Hoffman (YouTube)

  • Totally understandable. The French press can be a pretty accessible brewer too. If I want a second coffee, I like to take another break to make it. I’m very process oriented though.

  • The Hoop - accessible pour over coffee brewer - James Hoffman (YouTube)

  • At the risk of buying two more brewers instead of just one, what’s this coffee after water method? Isn’t that more of as immersion brew?

  • I Was Scammed Out of $130,000 — And Google Helped It Happen

  • My bank is continuously surprised that I understand this. It’s probably a bad sign.

  • Vibe coding is great for MVP's

  • The thing about low code is the successful products in that field have their blocks built by experienced teams. I’ve heard of setting up low code apps via LLMs and that almost makes sense. They can only do as much damage as a bad project manager cosplaying a solution engineer, scrapping the whole exercise isn’t too bad, and they can be a nice demo for the client.

  • feat: Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md by numinit · Pull Request #15 · JiaT75/STest

  • I would have thought describing images you post to spaces for blind people would be common sense, but do find my self enforcing rules on that all the time. Rules that are front and center. A real code of conduct formalizes rules, allows for consistent enforcement, and informs minority populations of the protections they may expect. If you don’t need that, I’m happy for you, but you may want to explore the nature of that privilege. Whether or not that’s necessary in the context of FOSS projects depends on multiple factors. It’s certainly not necessarily if you want to be a benevolent dictator for life.

  • The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon

  • And you can do a lot of that with good IDEs.

  • Thoughts on the Revolution Identity came as a backup to the Ambutech Slimline

  • That makes sense. Like I said, I value the convenience and space saving nature of a folding cane, but I’m only in this situation at all because the cord broke.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • That would theoretically help, but do you suppose the people who make them use floppies would be magnanimously generous enough to offer two drives?

  • Thoughts on the Revolution Identity came as a backup to the Ambutech Slimline

  • I’m not in the US, but I’d go for that if I could. That’s the rigid cane, right? I like the flexibility of folding canes, but the super light weight would also be great.
