@lauren Wall? I think that's still a thing.

@Marvella Oh no I'm so sorry I will definitely keep you in my thoughts.

@marklemley Is this referring to hyperlinking the photo, or using Instagram's photo embed?

Lobbying is simply legalized bribery, pass it on.

For abled folks: Next time you’re about to argue you’re not ableist, think about the fact that there even need to be laws to create a bare bones accessibility ….that it wasn’t something abled ppl just wanted to do to include their fellow human beings.
Then contemplate that these bare bones laws are very often disobeyed and society isn’t in an uproar about it.

I absolutely hate the “yes or later” UX patter with all my fucking heart. If you were asked whether you’d like to be hung today, would “no, but please ask me next time we talk” be an acceptable answer for you? Because it sure isn’t for me, and that’s how I feel like when I’m forced to click that “later” button. Even if a software, in fact, is going to ask me later, it should at least have the decency not to rub that fact in my face. NVDA’s “skip donation this time” is a much better wording here.

If we truly want people to join the #Fediverse, the *best* way to do that is to post content that you can’t get anywhere else.
I haven’t seen anyone do more in that regard than @Deglassco, who is not only sharing American history, but American history that many politicians on the right are actively trying to erase from public school curricula.
*This* is how you do it. 😎
If you aren’t already following @Deglassco I encourage you to take corrective action immediately. 😊

@bruce_toews @technolass I agree with Bruce here. There's also the possibility that, as president of the chapter/org, you're in a position to make change that others cannot, so saying something about this man's behavior could do some good. But also it's not a simple thing to deal with either and I get that.

@housepanther I get that, but I can't figure out how to manually add book info that isn't already in the DB. This could be a pebcak error though.

@housepanther I have, and I like the idea, but still have concerns about where it's going to get a book info database after I did the goodreads import and there were several books it couldn't find. A book info database is some thing we'll need to figure out since Amazon essentially controls that at the moment.

Republicans are moving ahead with plans for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to testify before a Judiciary subpanel after he falsely claimed Covid-19 was “ethnically targeted.” (RKF was not, as he claims, misunderstood. He is a anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist and his appearance at a GOP hearing just demonstrates how specious the hearing is.) https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/07-17-2023/jordan-gop-rfk-covid/

I got bored and ran the script of a scam call I got through Eleven Labs. Then I got more bored and ran it through @shaysters ‘s cloned voice. Then I got more bored, started playing with the settings, and… it… did this.

FreeDV seems to be yet another #AmateurRadio #HamRadio software project that has been designed to exclude blind and other disabled hams from participation. It is shameful #ARDC is willing to grant money to projects that harm a segment of the amateur radio community. #accessibility

Logging #accessibility bugs can be an exhausting, time-consuming process that’s often not adequately appreciated. Wouldn’t it be awesome if one of our consumer orgs put together some sort of accessibility bug bounty that would make it all worth more people’s effort and time?

@Rachel_Thorn Thanks for that edit! :ms_blue_heart:
Another good resource is imagecaptionspls@a.gup.pe (not tagging it to avoid spam). It’s both for people who can’t describe their images, and for those of us who can’t see to ask for descriptions when we’re curious.
It used to be super active when it was on gup.pe, but since switching to a.gup.pe useage has fallen. Since the group boosts all posts it’s tagged in it’s way better at spreading things around than hashtags are, so it’d be lovely to see it used more.
But yeah, so many resources for the people that need them, which are usually also the ones that absolutely would write media descriptions if they could! Meanwhile there’s perfectly abled people whining because they have to take a couple minutes out of their day to be kind rather than having AI poorly do it for them. Sigh. -
