Kind: Notes

So I'm writing an article on accessibility overlays and why they can't make your site accessible, and I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but wonder why anyone would possibly think that something like making sure your website complies with various pieces of accessibility legislation would be as simple as a single line of code. Overlay vendors are mostly at fault for creating this illusion, but the fact is there's a market for it. The businesses eagerly buying it share culpability. 1/n

Morning everybody we made it to Friday let's do this. Also, I need more coffee.

Me: "How is it only 12:30"? Also me: "Shit I still have a bunch of stuff I need to get finished today I'm glad it's only 12:30".

Oh no you don't Chrome, not today.

Happy Blue Beany Day to all those celebrating.

Sometimes I wish I had two soundcards and an external mixer, because trying to get the music volume to screen reader volume ratio just right via my system's soundmixer is hard. But I like listening to music while I work.

Dear Dell Command Update: I know there are updates to install, you've notified me several times within the last hour, please for the love of all that's technical, knock it off!

Well isn't that special! Chrome has this thing that pops up in the sidebar that says "control your music from Chrome" or something similar. It's a long message. Anyway, so you open it, and when you dismiss it like a pro browser user because you've already made decisions about what controls your music, it stops your music and you have to go start it again. Very not nice.

I'm using earcons via my screen reader until the Mastodon client I'm using implements support for filters. At least this way I don't have to hear "RT @" all the time since people are *still* crossposting retweets over here which is super annoying.

If I see one more Cyber Monday email I'm going to scream. Why did this holiday/observance get invented and more importantly, how do we make it all stop

Welcome to Monday everybody it's already crazy over here but let's do this anyway.

This is a test to see if Bridgy Fed is working properly.

We're back home. I am stuffed and so is John. We brought home some leftovers and half the chocolate cream pie came home as part of the spoils. Now we're cozy with a book.

I felt pretty cruddy yesterday, but doing much better today. Lazing around with some books because frankly it's cold outside and I don't want to go out in it. I have both Twitter archives in hand so it's time to take Twitter off my phone I think. I'm leaving the accounts up for now but locking them. And I'm loving the image descriptions.
