@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,

Again, I have to re-iterate this: https://calckey.social registrations are closed today.

In the meantime, here’s a list of other #Calckey servers:

@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.

In Central European countries, there’s a centuries-old practice, which is called Blaudruck (blue-dyeing) in Austria and Germany. It involves printing a paste called Papp onto cloth before dyeing over it with indigo, and was so significant to German culture that it’s influenced idioms (apparently the phrase “blue Monday” can be traced back to it). The craft almost disappeared in the 1980s. Here’s how a new generation revived it.
