@dgerard Bingo! It’s actually incredibly hard to make our audience move with us, and also, this as well. See this link https://tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter/112953152861782587

As a writer, this baffles me to no end. I love the word, Delve! It's such a simple word that conveys a lot! My God racism is so fucking weird.

I hope they do so they spend more money and so investors will get pissed off at how much money they are spending. Investors are already getting pissed, which is good! https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/08/03/ai-investors-are-getting-the-jitters/ @snooggums

It is a shame LLM's weren't designed to be a common good to Disabled people though. We're just a happy use case accident for these companies and AI manufacturers. It's tricky because this could be done just as well, I figure, with specifically designed LLM's instead of generic ones. @pavnilschanda @CarbonIceDragon

@db0 The sad thing is I know a lot of people that would pay that without thinking twice

I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more #privacy advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

A Guy Walks into My Bar Audiobook recommendation.

Before I start, this is an M/M romance.

One of the most wonderful British male narrators I’ve ever heard. His name is Shane east. I don’t know his ethnicity, but I was immediately swept up by him reading of one of the characters. This audiobook is a duet narration. This means that multiple readers are reading the dialogue of characters. It is not an audio drama or a full cast recording but I just love the male British narrator Shane East https://www.audible.com/pd/B08BTLV158?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp

Found a neat little program that will compile, split, merge, and rename chapters in fiction all with the keyboard. Some commands conflict with screen readers so I suggest not using this program for reviewing your writing, but for compiling. It was designed to be keyboard exclusive and is at least 70% accessible, with some dialogs not reading unless in browse mode. warewoolf. https://github.com/brsloan/warewoolf #OpenSource #BlindCommunity @foss

@Skooshjones @privsecfoss @foss Also, another reason why big tech catches on, every time, is not so much that the UX is glossy but that Zoom, Apple, etc, all know that #Accessibility is needed to, 1, be dominant. As people look for stuff and tools that are accessible to Disabled users, Apple and Zoom come up a lot because they knew that capturing accessible design was a great way to capture a huge portion of users and otherwise. 2. Accessible design works for everybody. Seriously, having a far cleaner UI is better for everybody, including developers when they need to change code later.
