So rblind.com didn't go down, and it isn't anymore broken today than it usually is. Cloudflare breaks #accessibility. It always has, and it always will. Now the rest of you know how it feels to be locked out because you don't run JavaScript and can't solve a captcha. Will you stop using #cloudflare? No, of course not! If it blocks #AI, you're completely fine with denying that blind users might be human at all. As AI becomes more and more capable, the definition of "human" is going to become more and more restrictive, until everyone who isn't completely able bodied and doesn't have absolutely perfect vision, hearing, and cognition is completely excluded.

Ik volg de Engelstalige stream en ik stoor me aan de fouten in de ondertiteling. Ja, het is snel en beter dan geen ondertiteling, maar doordat er veel non-native speakers zijn, worden sommige woorden volstrekt verkeerd geïnterpreteerd (AI, gok ik), zodat iemand The Netherlands kan zeggen, maar in de ondertiteling Ireland staat. Ik kan horen, en dus horen dat er een fout wordt gemaakt. Iemand die niet kan horen kan alleen vertrouwen op de ondertiteling. Niet oké.

Something I did not expect: my HTML ebooks, and the site in general, look pretty darn good on my flip phone's browser. I think there's some potential to make it really solid. Even the dark mode worked well, which was a sight to see.
It felt really good to see this. I'd read a blog post somewhere that you want your website to be functional on a crummy PSP browser. Seeing everything work on a flip phone made me feel like I'm the right track for #accessibility.
#ArtistOfTheWeek – this week I'm not choosing an artist per se but writer & activist Alice Wong.
The keywords last week were Access/Accessibility and this week the keyword is Change.
Alice passed away last weekend and was a bright, insightful, light-hearted person who embraced change and fought for justice for disabled folks.

Cochlear TV Streamer ja CachyOS
Testasin tunnistaako arch kyseisen laitteen. Kyllä tunnisti heti ja ongelmitta. Äänet kuuluvat hyvin prossuissa.
Cochlear TV Streamer on suoratoistolaite, eli laite ottaa PC:stä äänet ja lähettää langattomasti suoraan sisäkorvaistutteiden prosessoreihin. Prossut ovat kuin langattomat kuulokkeet.

We have a pretty strong stance on #Privacy and don’t believe in advertising as a revenue model. You are not the product! https://blog.elementary.io/you-are-not-the-product/
We believe that #accessibility features should be first class https://blog.elementary.io/accessibility-features-are-just-features/
And we’re all in on #Decentralized technologies like @FlatpakApps https://blog.elementary.io/elementary-appcenter-flatpak/

Wir setzen uns endlich daran, die Fotos und Videos von den letzten Wochen zu bearbeiten.
Hier gibt es den ersten Einblick: Taubblindheit (Vortrag und Workshop) mit HandsCom (https://www.handscom.at). Hier hat uns Brigitte Baumann ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen zu Taubblindheit erzählt und sowie welche Kommunikationsformen es gibt. Um das Theoretische zu festigen, gab es sowohl Spielstationen als auch Aufgaben. Es hat uns sehr gefreut, wie alle aktiv und munter mitgemacht haben!
Einblick zum Kreativ-Treff mit Anita Schachinger, einer Taubblinden Künstlerin von der Ausstellung.
Fokus vom Kreativ-Treff war es Haptische Kunst zu kreieren - zusammen mit Anita haben wir aus unterschiedlichen Materialien und Textilien Kunst gemacht, die auch erfühlbar ist.
Das Konzept kam so gut an, dass wir das sicherlich wieder bei einem Kreativ-Treff aufgreifen werden!
Saw this speech-to-text app in the recent @piccalilli newsletter and WOW, this will be a game changer for me when writing articles. So cool!

Hi all, one of our members made this radical guide for Covid safer events! If your organization has not acknowledged the harmful impact of infectious diseases prior to now, it's "okay to acknowledge this past while stepping into a new responsibility of doing what is needed rather than what is popular."
https://www.fairairnetwork.com/a-guide-for-covid-safer-events/
The guide is here to help people make their community events and spaces more accessible to all people. Give it a read. :)
