could be a fairly long shot, but why not? Fedi please boost this for reach <3

anyone in (or in touch with someone who is) in Aotearoa New Zealand, and has any old braille notetaker devices they don't want or can't use?

we're particularly interested in anything from what we consider the golden age (1990s to early 2010s), especially the early Humanware Braille/VoiceNote series. but we'll happily take anything, even if it's broken. we live on very little income so we might not be able to pay you much for it, but will absolutely pay shipping and would love to talk barter of some kind. or we can work out a payment plan, up to you.

we're based in the Waitaha/Canterbury region and can pick up anywhere in the Ōtautahi/Christchurch Metro, or can collect from the BLVNZ office on Bristol Street.

@GoemonIshikawa It's accidental, there is http://bird.makeup. The idea is that basically tweets of people are somehow forwarded to mastodon accounts at bird.makeup. for example, @satyanadella. but you can't interact with them.

I was just reminded of this.

It's so cool bridges from #Twitter exist. I followed Andrej Karpathy and Satya Nadella this way, and some other people also. It's sad it doesn't work for everyone for some reason. #Mastodon

@adisonverlice Sorry, what is it?

@Yinshi О да! А я сейчас много слушаю Катей (не путать с той Катериной). Она была уж не помню чья, локвендовская что ли, раньше, сейчас везде в Вокалайзере доступна вместе с Миленой и Юрием.

@Yinshi вот! А у меня один раз, ещё во времена настольных компов, батарейка на Кмосе полетела. И усё, пиздец мышке. Тоже фиг знает сколько сидел.

@Yinshi Пиздец. Но вообще привязывать что-то к оборудованию, как мы знаем, такая себе идея. Без возможности это пофиксить, по крайней мере.

I once dated a girl who had a twin, and people always asked how I could tell them apart.

Easy - Alison painted her nails red... and Bob had a beard.

@somcak Be careful, you may severely damage your ears. No joke!

Nothing unusual, just a man performing "The lion sleeps tonight" in front of… a literal living lion!

@asael then I'd need to vibe-code most of the accessibility stack, which is kinda painful also)

@asael Именно.

Just read #Microsoft will tie #Windows activation to the mother board somehow. Don't know how it will work, but what if someone upgrades the RAM, or changes the CPU, or whatever else? Usually hardware-bound activations are a pain in the back, but let's see.

It seems, it's the first time when I see this on #YouTube: The uploader has not made this video available in your country. Weird.

@anika_voin Я бы сказал, более серьёзная скорее. В русском переводе «Следствие ведут овцы». «Овечки» тут не подходят совершенно, это взрослые разумные существа со своими слабостями и достоинствами, очень тяжело переживающие смерть человека, который их опекал. Мне запомнилось именно так. Но хэппи-энд да, есть.

@anika_voin Похоже, я книгу читал, мне очень понравилось.

Is it only me or recent #WhatsApp for #Windows builds, namely everything related to voice and video calls, can be handled only with touch cursor in #JAWS? #Accessibility #Blind

@Klimahandling @hpod16 also so-called European alternatives are in most cases hostile to people with disabilities. If you don't know what accessibility is, please google for it or ask me, I'm more than happy to answer any question. As a blind guy, I care only about #Accessibility because I literally cannot live and work without it. Thanks for reading.
