I’m just curious. Is there anyone other than Fandroids, (die-hard fans of Android) or Google who is seriously suggesting that Android is on par with Apple when it comes to productive accessibility?
On a more serious note, I think Devin’s making a very valid point. Apple may be a company I hate to love, but there’s a reason I switched from Android to Apple a long time ago and it has nothing to do with my love of corporations
The only part of Devin’s post I’d quibble with is the part about whether or not people are pushing for accessibility in the open source arena. If there’s not buy-in from project maintainers and/or project founders, accessibility is going to be an up-hill battle.
And it doesn’t help that the leadership of the open source and free software communities are basically ambivolent at best about this whole accessibility thing.
I was actually looking into getting myself a Surface, but if they’re running Android I think I’ll hold off on that.
Oh and hi devin, glad I found you on the fediverse. That was a nice Monday morning bonus.

This is probably the most poetic take on link underlines I’ve ever read.

Push without notifications
I clicked on the link for Jeremy’s presentation, only to be directed to his book on this subject, which I will promptly be buying. I spent a little time looking through the A Book Apart catalog and didn’t realize that had so much cool stuff. And yes, as a user, I would really appreciate not being annoyed on a constant basis by websites I’ve given permission to notify me. I gave Slack permission to do that on the old computer and that was one of the first things I didn’t set up on the new one.

State of the Social Reader
I’ve only dipped my toes into the topic of social readers. I definitely believe they are the best way forward for RSS and the Indieweb in general, but I’m so used to the current way of handling RSS as a consumer that it’s taking me a whhile to make the jump between traditional RSS and social reading without the middle man of a social network.

I’m looking forward to listening to Tech was supposed to be society’s great equalizer what happened? after ID24 is over, and I’ve noted the books mentioned so I can hopefully grab coppies in an accessible format.
