I’m hovering your finger over the “record” button on the tape player for three hours, trying to make the perfect mix tape off the radio years old.

Just submitted the first build of #openscape, a community revival of #soundscape, a spacial audio navigation app to test flight. Then… Forgot to send this post… Oops. Anyhow I got approval.
That’s the ‘app’ part down… Now I guess the rest is development. #iosdev

On Friday, we reported an issue with Google Chrome Version 114 and JAWS 2021 and earlier. Thanks to Google’s prompt response and dedication to accessibility, this issue was resolved quickly, leading to a solution that restores access to the Chrome browser for all versions of JAWS. To solve the problem, download the latest version of Chrome, 114.0.5735.110, then restart Chrome to begin using the updated version.

Goddamn even if the cops leave the phone locked to view the ID, they’ll just pocket the phone afterwards and “give it back to you when we’re done here” – you willingly handed it over to them, they can keep it.

Now they know you can’t be recording them. You want to hand over the one thing that they know might keep them honest?

Are people just not paying attention? How the fuck can anyone be in favor of this? You want your ID on your phone so bad, get a sticky ID holder and slap it on the back.
