Screen reader users using a free and open-source calendar app on Linux, what do you use? I'd like to use one as a reference to make GNOME Calendar more screen reader friendly.
(Boost appreciated)

this is for software released less than two years ago:
$ cmake .
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
fuck you so very much, CMake, and fuck everyone who still uses you
the thing is, nothing is stopping us from going back and doing things properly.
for instance, the whole 80s thing of distributed, shared-nothing computing is still up for grabs. it wasn't pursued outside of research labs because it was hard and not backwards compatible, but now even our microcontrollers have multiple cores, it's ripe for revisiting - especially as it turns out that the most signficant feature of shared-everything SMP is how easy it makes side-channel attacks

now i'm wondering if it would be conceivable to drive a geometry shader from an actual disk image and zoom down into the actual data
... i'm just imagining how many times i would get blender to crash
password managers need two password generation options: "normal and secure" (40-character alphanumeric) and "your CIO is a dumbass" (16-character mixed case alphanumeric with exactly one special character at the end)
@jcoglan @whitequark I do love systems that tell me "Must contain a symbol... no, not *that* symbol!" 🤬
This July 4th reminds me that I only learned a few years ago that the Statue of Liberty is an anti-slavery monument created by a French abolitionist back in 1865 to celebrate emancipation, so I tell my little cousins about the broken chains at her feet any chance I get.
There's a special place in hell for people who drive loud as fuck cars and motorcycles.
Pro-tips for anyone creating an address form.
ZIP code is not a generic English term for postal code, but instead a very specific USPS thing (it stands for Zone Improvement Plan). If you serve anyone outside the US of A, call it "Postal Code".
Not every country has states, don't make it a mandatory field.
Many, many more nuances to international addresses, but these are the ones that bother me most as a Belgian.
I managed an e-commerce server for about ten years. It grew from a small local shop into a major national business, even handling international orders. They expanded to the point where they reduced their local brick-and-mortar store hours because the bulk of their revenue was coming from online sales.
Then one seller came along and convinced them that switching to Shopify would be the key to growing even further. Apparently, their €130/month bare-metal redundant setup - which boasted a calculated uptime of 99.995% over 10 years - just wasn't cutting it anymore.
They’ve been on Shopify for about six months now, and every now and then, I still get the alerts. I left the monitoring active via Uptime Kuma and ran the numbers. Over the last six months, their uptime dropped below 98%.
In other words, in just six months, they’ve been down for almost as many hours as they were during the entire previous decade.
I contacted the client - not because I want to take over the hosting again, but just to understand what on earth happened (we're on excellent terms). Their response was: "We don't know, but if it happened on Shopify, it means it was bound to happen anyway."
As long as we keep swallowing the lie that "the cloud" and "tech giants" are always the right solution for us, we completely deserve the cloud and the tech giants.
my personal pet peeve is websites that have some badly coded javascript
Been going down a bit of a kei truck rabbit hole and wishing you could buy something in that form factor but electric in the US. I don't know why the only 2 (as far as I know) electric mini trucks in development in the US are not fully embracing the kei truck design and capitalizing on the trend with is part aesthetics and part practicality.
The Slate has a classic US truck shape which wastes space in the front and thus it only has a 5' bed despite only having a 2 seater cab. Worse, the bed width is only 42" so you cannot easily fit a standard 8x4 sheet of plywood which seems like an obvious use case to support if the truck is intended to actually be used as a truck.
Then there's the Telo MT1 which has more of a kei truck shape. Their marketing materials explicitly say it can fit a sheet of plywood, however that requires some removable partition to increase the bed length because they chose a 5 seat cab. Feels more like truck cosplay than a practical vehicle.
Friends, asking for accounts on Mastodon or organizations that are about low vision resources. I am losing my sight (not from macular degeneration) and want to connect with others like me. It's pretty devastating for someone who's been an artist and photographer all my life, but accessibillity options are greatly improving. Currently using Zoom, Magnify and VoiceOver on the iphone. Looking for connection and inspiration and your well wishes too! #lowvision #accessibility

@zwol @ajn142 @johntimaeus Catching up on the thread I see you're using box fans, I see someone else pointing out quite rightly that box fans are more a "Blow air around person to cool them down and it doesn't matter very much which direction" sort of fan rather than a "Blow a lot of air in a particular direction as intake/exhaust" sort of fan, in that the fan is round and the frame is square and a lot of air gets sucked in through the corners of the blow side.
The rich-man's solution is a whole lotta money on a whole-house fan, the raccoon solution is duct tape
