@frog67 I just noticed, I misspelled your name. So, hi Clare!

In reply to @frog67.

@frog67 Hi Chare! Believe me, I'm working on it.

@Marvella @devinprater @ChrisChaffin Happy birthday Devin

@scottjohnson And pundits too. Don't forget about them.

In reply to @ambercadabra.

@ambercadabra Oh they're perfectly with fear, as long as it's not their fear. That fear, you see, we're supposed to empathize with or something.

@chris Both the Rays and the Braves. I'm really hoping the Rays beat the Yankees today.

@treehousedarren @FreakyFwoof I don't think you need to be on mastodon.social in order for the correct spelling of Mastodon to matter. Aside from the official domain names hosting, Mastodon is correct and will get you to the thing you're trying to find out about/join, mastadon is not. So while I won't set my hair on fire over it, I will definitely correct someone's spelling to ensure they get the correct thing.

@FreakyFwoof @treehousedarren Speaking as someone who has had to just learn to politely ignore people misspelling WordPress for years because otherwise I'd never get anything else done, I empathize.

@treehousedarren @FreakyFwoof I don't know man, misspelling a domain name is the difference between getting to the site you were actually looking for, and ending up somewhere completely different. This includes extensions: E.G., whitehouse.com vs. whitehouse.gov. One is a porn site, the other is the site for the White House. That's just one example.

@aardrian Thanks for this.

@SteveSawczyn @objectinspace @annaecook @paninid @donmelton to say nothing of connecting external services.

In reply to @SteveSawczyn.

@SteveSawczyn @objectinspace @annaecook @paninid @donmelton They're doing some accessible classes, but there's still completely frustrating things like not being able to type in a password while using their TTS. It just says bullet when you tap a letter, so the end result is that you need a sighted person to log you in when things like the power go out or the router dies. And we lose power enough that it's an actual problem,

In reply to @aardrian.

@aardrian Oh I missed your post from last year I'll have to read that.

In reply to @aardrian.

@aardrian I have a sneaking suspicion that GAAD is a performative exercise for most, and find myself wondering what the continued usefulness of it is. Kind of want to write an article about it for World Blind Herald but I know it would probably create a ton of controversy.

In reply to @inherentlee.

@inherentlee The only one of these that would be indicated by screen readers in almost all cases is the asterisks option. Underscores would depend on screen reader verbosity settings, and capital letters are also somewhat dependent on verbosity settings. Would not use the latter to try to indicate text emphasis, possibly asterisks. Hope this helps, I couldn't get the pole to let me vote.

@cublanco @queenslight JBL Charge3. With an iPod that we intend to run until it won't run anymore.

In reply to @Rickster1963.

@Rickster1963 Yeah doing OK. Just listening to some baseball.

@Rickster1963 Hi Rick!

@queenslight We're not actually at the game, but we do have it on every speaker in the house. Which is one in every room and 3 in the living room.
