I can't tell who hates web browsers more. The developers or management? From where I am standing, a web browser can fully replace your shitty app that doesn't need to be an app. Like why does Wordpress even have an app? Everything can be done on the website including reading. #Internet #App #Apps

Hey #Blind folks, suggestions? See quoted toot. I am seeking similar. #Email

If there’s any indication that audiobooks count as reading, take a hard look at the current reading is dying or is a lost art discourse, and yet, audiobook listeners continue to have better reading comprehension than those that simply do not read at all. I came across a YouTube video a few years ago where this non-disabled guy is going through self help book after book struggling to read and all the discourse surrounding him was rooted in, of course, ableism, but actively angry at him for trying to improve himself. I am not a fan of any self help books at all but Maybe the cure to save this reading decline is not to shame others when they want to read anything or listen to something. #Reading #Education

I don’t get it. Is this what AI psychosis is all about? I’m very shocked that this is the same guy that created Pinafore and no use of a local model or even an ethical one either. I’m not a programmer so I just don’t get it, I guess. In my profession, I simply don’t want anything creating for me.

If you really want to tell disabled people to use an open source or alternative thing instead of the proprietary thing, you better make damn well sure that open source or alternative thing is at least screen reader friendly as a bare minimum when it comes to disability access if you're the developer.

If you're a user of the open source or alternative thing, encourage the developer to do better than the proprietary developers on all disability developments, even when the developer tries to make the excuse that they are not a large corporation and can't afford the accessibility developments.

If you can't figure out why disable people continue to use proprietary thing when open source or alternative thing exist, shut the fuck up and do a lot more reading instead of replying.

A dipshit Tech company emailed me this morning, so I replied, in order to process future emails, I'll need $500 from you before proceeding. Please use your connected payment information to send me a PayPal payment to <PayPal EMAIL> and, well, I got some extra Pizza money today folks! #AI #LLM

I showed loved ones how much I care about them by uninstalling native mobile apps and just pinned websites to their homescreens. #App #Apps #Apple #Android

I was reading somewhere in my RSS reader, I'm not linking it, that Mastodon hates everything and everyone, but the dude complained about not everyone liking fascist adjacent stuff and I'm over here like, how do we make bigots feel less welcome? this is fantastic! this is the kind of PR Mastodon should be striving for, is to have Nazis and dipshit fascists talk about how much they hate us. We wouldn't need to take out advertising! That is a legit marketing strategy, but I can't remember the term right now but get bigots to do your PR for you by talking about how shit you are, in their eyes, and you’re golden. #Fediverse #Mastodon

I use Drafts to send notes to my PC from my iphone but are there any ways to send to KoofR or NextCloud? I see a lot of actions for OneDrive and Dropbox but no Koofr or NextCloud options #Draft #Drafts

Trying Dynasty the CW / Netflix remake and i’m absolutely hooked! I am utterly enthralled with rich snobs backstabbing and fucking each other over. The audio description isn’t pointing out any of the characters races, so I was a little confused a lot throughout a few parts. There’s a part where the butler and a guy are stuck in a cellar and the butler says, take a gun and shoot the lock off the door, and the guy replies, don’t stereotype me! I can infer at least one of them is a person of color, but this is where a case where the objective audio description fails to guide me along with the drama / story. I am having the absolute time of my life though. #TV #TVShow #Netflix #AudioDescription

I had a birthday recently and that scroll to find your year of birth is becoming increasingly offensive.

YAY! Had someone write to me asking if she could read something at an offline open mic, in a city I am not at, so I sent her this. In short, yes! Take my work into offline spaces! Spaces I cannot access. https://sightlessscribbles.com/reprints/ #Offline #Syndicate #Readers #Reading #ReadingCommunity #AmReading
