Kind: Reposts

A momma bunny caught in mid-jump, busily fetching nearby garden debris and taking it behind the blue Iris to the left.

Later, a close-up shot of the ground where she was working. The debris is covering up something. If past years are any indication, it will be two tiny babies laying on a bed of soft fur. They will live in the front yard most of the summer, growing fat on the clover lawn.

(A look out my home office window through the screen.)

Everyone who’s ever said “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” is somebody trying to bully you into giving them the power to strip you of your dignity at a moment’s notice.

On a whim, whenever it’s convenient for them.

That’s the fight. It’s not about privacy, it’s not about secrets, and it never was. It’s about power.

Sometimes a piece of music will just perfectly encapsulate a moment in my life. I like to not let those pass. I’ve been wanting to sing this one for a while, but tonight felt like the right night for it. Props to Coldplay for making one of the best damn songs in the universe. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/javcoknxx5ingap/Viva%20La%20Vida.mp3

I very much agree with @yatil here. There simply is no reason why a very common design pattern like a toolbar container should not be part of HTML, and browsers implement the proper keyboard interaction. Or why on Earth HTML still doesn’t have rich list box items or tree views / tree tables.

Because both many web developers and browsers still let blind people down regularly, JAWS still wants access to the full HTML in modern browsers so they can fix up most common errors, and even allow script authors to more finely tune the experience if they want to. For other purposes, GreaseMonkey and custom scripts for web sites to improve the accessibility are quite common in some circles. Basically, right now, the burden for a better accessible web lies on the screen readers and tech savvy blind coders who are able to script web sites via GreaseMonkey to improve the experience. JAWS has done this since 1999. And they’re not going to stop anytime soon.

I bought the girls a Goodie Box from Chewy and it came today. One of the toys is a stuffed grassy hill and in the hill there are 2 holes and there are stuffed squeaky bunnies inside the stuffed grassy hill and the goal is to pull the bunnies out of the hill! Here is Callisto trying to figure it out! #DogsOfMastodon

To meet corporate sustainability goals, I have disabled garbage collection for all applications.

Developers will now have to reduce, reuse, and recycle memory.

for the love of all that is holy, tech companies, if you have a blog provide a way to stay up to date with your content with RSS.
It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s universal.
I will not come back to your blog every week to figure out if you have posted something new.
I also don’t want the 100th newsletter.

Gonna start a page called Older Fans, where it’s just me telling everyone what hurts today and what miniscule task I was doing that caused the pain.

Today it’s: My neck; Sleeping.

Tons of vintage, nearly impossible to find recordings.

Hey folks, new to the server and thought an #introduction was in order.

I’m Nolan, A.K.A.. Lights Out Games, a blind game developer making audio-focused games. Check out my profile link for examples of what these sound like.

I also do lots of open source work, much of which currently involves game accessibility in some form. Notably, recently I helped integrate the #Bevy engine with platform accessibility APIs via AccessKit.

Look forward to meeting you all.

The Turing Test was a lot more fun when it was a thought experiment and not something you have to do every time you see something on the Internet.

The, after breakfast, recliner Olympics has commenced.
I think the winner is my husband, who looks forward to this morning ritual.
Summer brings the juice and retrieves toys for as long as he will keep throwing.
She is a happy dog, for sure.
Good morning, Mastodon.

oh sure, when the fed prints money, they’re “fixing inflation”, but when I do it, I’m “committing a felony” and “violating the HP end user license agreement”
