@aral I'm curious how you became invested in accessibility. For most of us there's usually some event or person that opens or eyes, and then we can't stop caring about it anymore

@aral yes, same for me. I do miss those about the Netherlands, but I do prefer the welcoming culture of Ireland (at least until recently)
Not sure if you experienced it too, but being an immigrant in the Netherlands, even a highly qualified one, it's tough

@aral why the "."?
I normally put those utilities under $HOME/bin and I have a $HOME/local for more complex tools (needing config and so on) basically the same as "/usr/local" but only for this user -

@aral I think it's called a "socially acceptable genocide"

@aral I would be happy to meet in person after years of interacting online.
I'm not really into making webs (although I think you have a great point)
Bray is just a few stops in the Dart from Dublin center (I would be running the line almost end-to-end but whatever) -

@aral oh, I missed that!
Why does surveillance capitalism have to taint all the fun things? -

I'm hoping the new #RaspberryPi5 will run smoothly all the MAME games that previous models struggled with, maybe even 3D games such as Tekken.
Even simpler games like Puzzle Bobble 4 don't run smooth on the current hardware out of the box.
I have to get one to give it a try.

TIL you can exhaust the call stack of an #MSX by not returning from a subroutine and using goto instead... or by using RETURN <line number> where that number is not on the body of the calling block.
Something that is basically impossible to do work modern languages.
I also learned that such stack is about 84 levels deep

@aral if it makes you feel better, they almost rejected my pre-approved mortgage because I resigned to get a new job that was paying 20% more.
And if you are a freelancer is another nightmare. I can imagine the same logic (or lack of thereof) applies to non-profit

@aral the fact that we are just down 2 banks does not make it any easier :(
I heard Avant are decent, I almost switched to those when KBC closed.
