Special Weather Statement, Northern Denali Borough; Southern Denali Borough, 2025-05-06 13:43 AKDT.

Snow returns to the Alaska Range, with snow levels falling to road level from Anderson to Cantwell tonight. Snow rates may be heavy at times with 3 to 5 inches of snow expected by Wednesday evening. Roads may become slick as snow will likely begin as mixed rain/snow before turning to wet snow as temps drop to around freezing.

Travelers should use extra caution as they traverse the Alaska Range along the Parks Highway.

all those write-protect tabs you broke off cassettes. where are they now? micro-flotsam, broken down, ground to dust, eaten by a salmon, then by you. a particle of mixtape remains in your ventricle. the songs of youth, forever in your heart

Reflecting on Our First Year: The Social Web Foundation’s 2024 Annual Report

Social Web Foundation @swf@socialwebfoundation.org

We launched in September 2024 with a bold mission: to foster an open, decentralized, and user-centric social web. In just the few short months that remained in 2024, we made meaningful progress. Our participation at W3C TPAC and collaborations with major stakeholders like Mastodon, Ghost, and Automattic have helped spark momentum for a healthier, more resilient online ecosystem. Today we are proud to publish our 2024 Annual Report– the first of many– to highlight our technical […]

Another vacation, another electrical system debugging problem... The power was off when we arrived - main breaker had flipped. The power was working when the housekeeper left that morning. I turned it back on and everything seemed to work fine. Then I noticed a weird clicking behind the clothes washer. The housekeeper had put a wet mop behind the washer... directly on an open socket in the power strip both the washer and fridge shared.

why is spotify's accessibility so terrible??

you can't disable animated thumbnail previews in the stupid tiktokesque "trending podcasts" shelf, you can't change the UI scaling (on mobile at least), there's no light theme (or themes of any kind), no setting for "OLED black", you can't change the font...

the only accessibility settings are mono audio and disabling the animated "canvas" things that show up instead of album art.

hot take: if you're a multibillion dollar company, you app needs to have some kind of setting that means when i'm not interacting with anything, the entire app is still, aside from progress bars. even youtube gets this right (animated "doodle" logos notwithstanding...), and that's a video streaming platform! there is no reason for a music app to have looping five frame per second clips of podcasters laughing!!

it feels so demeaning when i have to cover the podcast shelf on the screen with my thumb just so i can read the names of the playlists on my homepage. just let me turn it off :(

@lynnesbianLynnesbian :bune_ylw: from a few years as an app developer for a big company, there are a few contributing factors

- Flashy new things are prioritized over literally everything else, because this draws attention. Accessibility features, while huge for those who need them, will only be perceived by a vast minority of users.

- Dynamic font sizes tend to break a lot of layouts, requiring alternative restructuring of the screen depending if you have this setting on or not, which means more components, more development time, more costs.

- I have personally worked with designers who knew nothing about accessibility. Hell, I'm working with native iOS now, and I've lost count of how many designers only knew web, despite the company having almost 20 apps!

- Statistics and usability tests are pulled from whoever's ass is talking at the moment. They think a bottom sheet is the best way to implement this feature? They will require a bottom sheet for this feature.

- A lot of decision-making people know shit about accessibility unless they're personally affected by it. Seriously. The only reason some people I work with are starting to look at these things is because one of the higher ups needs a bigger font size, and the entire app exploded in a gory mess of colors in his hands because none of it was planned nor implemented properly.

…actually, it never in my entire life occurred to me to ask this question. What are these seven notes? The musical sting at the end. You've heard this musical sting before! Sesame Street used it all the time. It sounds kind of like "shave and a haircut" but I don't think it's "shave and a haircut".

the way a digital artist would feel watching me draw is exactly the same way i feel watching my dad use excel.

i can't complain about how painful it is to see someone double-clicking the copy button in the ribbon, then click-dragging the scrollbar, then clicking a cell, then double-clicking paste. i'm out here tapping the tablet screen while hovering with the pen (which blocks finger input), then moving the pen out of the way, tapping the eraser tool, then literally rubbing out mistakes like i'm using a physical eraser, then using the pen tool to fix the smudged edges i've just caused.

my dad's penguin typing doesn't seem so bad compared to me using the pen to carefully fill in the white edges left by the paint bucket fill tool.

my dad asks me how to make C7 display the average of cells C1 through C6, i have three tabs open desperately trying to relearn how mask layers work (i did this one week ago and have since forgotten. i will forget again one week from now.)

in case anyone is curious about the status of Good Internet magazine: we're on track to send to the publisher next week, but we're looking at shipping magazines by the end of the month!

SO EXCITING! <3

i had planned to send out pre-order emails, but i wasn't sure if this would be kosher or not, frankly. would love to get a pulse check from folks, since that would help offset the upfront cost of printing (as i am currently unemployed).

An interesting chat on "monorepo" during the Podman Cabal meeting today. Jan Kaluza walked us through the pluses and minuses of combining the storage, image, and common projects into one "mono" repository. Catch the discussion here! youtube.com/watch?v=PbafpszDDs

I heard that Linux very broadly is known for sound issues. And I had anecdotal assurance that Linux Mint was better off in that regard. I noticed right before leaving the house that I seem to be affected. I’ll mess with it later but it’s understandable to have issues given my PC was made for Windows. Any tips on where to start, pros?

Yes, speakers are on. Volume is up. Not muted 🙃
