Until more #Accessible / #BlindFriendly clients are made (for other than specifically #Mastodon), most of us are purely out of luck!

How ya gonna expect most blind people to jump over to a different platform (with the exception to a #HomeSocial instance), if all the work is being specifically put into Mastodon?

Remember to take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

So, since JoinMastodon.org has decided to change the way servers are listed on their website — showing preference for large servers who do not have a manual review process to join —>

From https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/05/02/a-siri-bug-in-the-ios-1641-calendar-app-is-causing-problems-for-vision-impaired?utm_medium=rss

Naturally, sighted people can just allow Siri to set the event on the wrong day and correct it later manually, but this is not an option for the visually disabled.

*sigh* Okay. Figures. Just keep on telling people that all blind people can do with their iPhone is talk to Siri. So tiring and insulting. Like yes this bug is important. Yes it should be fixed. But blind people have got to be able to use VoiceOver if Siri doesn’t work, or breaks, or can’t read your voicemail, or whatever Apple does to it.

For all of my friends out there who like whacky or unusual audio related content, I found this on a completely unrelated Google search. Such a cool idea!! https://youtu.be/hRnqQgjhlrg

In 1997, Jorn Barger coined the term “web-log” to describe his website “Robot Wisdom,” where he logged his journeys around this exciting new digital space called “the web.” Two years later, @peterme shortened “web-blog” to “#blog“:

(Don’t talk to me about shopping at Walmart unless you’re prepared to subsidize my groceries somewhere else. Disabled people in America are kept poor on purpose as public policy.)

Happy birthday to this snoot. I hope the rest of him is having a good day, too.
