Has anyone here managed to sign up with Discord, including getting an accessibility cookie to work? I've tried on both Windows and iOS now, gotten a cookie both times, and still can't bypass the fucking #Hcaptcha.

On May 24, 1844, the first message, “What hath God wrought?” was sent.
https://www.loc.gov/item/mmorse000107

That’s 180 years ago that Morse Code was demonstrated by sending the message from Baltimore to Washington, DC.

Still going strong! What other technologies have lasted as long?

so QE sent me automated accessibility testing results from a property of 274 pages. they did this by integrating the DQ tools into our automation suite. They want me to comment on its effectiveness with automation. All screen shots. Surely, the DQ tool can export to a consumable format other than screen shots. I guess I will have to figure it out.

@bmoore123 That many screen shots? Yikes! As long as they're paying for however long running them through OCR may take...

I normally tell people to tweak their Windows installation with Winaero Tweaker, but if you use Jaws, do not use it to disable UAC or you will stop hearing Jaws read the Start Menu, Settings, and other things.

I'm never one to watch or care much about the Rock Hall but watching this old rerun of the 2013 one, and I never knew how much I needed to hear Harry Belafonte gush over Public Enemy and spit some of their lyrics

@jake4480 And the Rush induction too. :)

@evilcookies98 Was this Thai food? A place local to me does a curry Pad Thai and I ask for it extra spicy. It may be my favorite meal on the freaking plannet.

In Las Vegas there are more Catholic Churches than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect all the offerings, then send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting, and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.- This is done by the chip monks.

There's an important problem the world faces daily that not enough people are talking about. Tortilla chips are NOT strong enough. They often break when trying to scoop something as simple as salsa, or even in your 7 layer dips

VE3RWJ,
@VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio avatar

@jake4480 I agree! We need tougher tortilla chips, but not so tough that their edges lacerate the roof of your mouth, like Cap'n Crunch®

This is a really good and rather lengthy interview (24 minutes) with a young Jewish student at Columbia University who is a participant in the #Palestine #solidarity encampment there.

I seriously do not understand the difference between UEB and whatever I learned when I was little. I’ve been working with it for days now and nothing looks any different.

Now that Rush Limbaugh is dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did. Because what he did had no value. It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value. He just made anger. Every day. Rising, blooming & fading like a fart. Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week. Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone. Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.
