completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those. keyoxide: aspe:keyoxide.org:PFAQDLXSBNO7MZRNPUMWWKQ7TQ
That feeling when I write documentation for something, then find the documentation I forgot I wrote for the same thing two years ago, and the wording and structure are almost identical. Right down to the same silly jokes. Then while editing I noticed a mistake I made in this version, and the exact same mistake was in what I wrote two years ago. Am I just an #llm that's made out of meat? Never mind anyone else: will I even realize when I replace myself with an #AI? Maybe it's already happened...
I was captured, against my will, by an ice cream truck and forced to purchase an enormous ice cream cone. I take absolutely no responsibility for this course of action! What other choice did I have? The chimes were playing turkey in the straw! Somebody had to do something! Luckily a line up of the brave residents of my neighborhood stretched down the street, each of us willing to do our part. The ice cream truck was eventually defeated and drove away in shame.
No, Apple Music, I do not wish to do the humpty hump at noon on a Saturday. Playing the song twice in a row is unlikely to change my mind on this matter.
Just sent some fixes for royalroad.com to the WebAccessibilizer. mainly control+shift+d to toggle showing story descriptions, as they only show on hover by default, and making the story description the main landmark on single story pages. Waiting for that and my fanfiction.net settings to be approved by admin.
@TSchulte Want it, yes. But I'm sure if I lived somewhere in central Africa, affording it would be another matter entirely. We're just lucky that we speak English, so anything we make we can just not translate at all. I have no idea what language is spoken in Cameroon, but I doubt releasing a program exclusively in that language is viable; it wouldn't surprise me if his choices were "do his best in English" or "don't release anything ever".
@Orinks Yeah, but the AI bros won't bother making the slut machines accessible. You'll have to fill out a captcha before you can...Eh, I'm gonna stop right there.
Also looking at his other projects, he has something that he calls an "accessible slut machine". Not a typo, it's called that everywhere. Disappointingly it's an "accessible slot machine". #English is hard and I feel bad for laughing. But at the same time I was really hoping for a slut machine.
I love this so much. It's pretty much a GUI for #tampermonkey, offering an easier way for #blind folks to find elements on a webpage and do things to them. Yes, you could do the same things directly by just writing JavaScript yourself. But this is much, much faster, and requires a bit less knowledge. It took me less than 30 seconds to turn all the story titles on fanfiction.net into headings. Labeling a button, or making other small changes would be just as fast. The typos and slightly incorrect English put me off at first; especially the word "blinds" for blind people felt weird and derogatory. apparently the author is from #Cameroon, though, so maybe that's standard there. stsolution2.org/WebAccessibilizer/#a11y#accessibility#screenreader
Tried to search for "best nzb index" but made a typo and typed "brest nzb index". Then the search engine decided that I must have meant "breast nzb index" and searched for that. Anyway, these papers on NZB/NZW Mice as a Model of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus are not the droids I'm looking for.
@FreakyFwoof Probably the times when India, china, and Japan are quietest. Best way to guess at this would be to get the population of every country, sort it by time zone, then find the hour where the largest number of people are sleeping. Sounds like a job for AI.
