Wikipedia mentions that it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day on the English version's main page, but to create an account on there and many of the Wikimedia Foundation's other projects you have to complete an inaccessible captcha. They offer an option for someone to create an account for you if you can't fill it in, but that's not good enough.
There's been a ticket open about this since 2006 according to the date stamp and nothing's been done.

So today is Global Accessibility Awareness day or GAAD. I love that Eloquence's American English voice pronounces that as god.

I've never used signal or Telegram. the accessibility of both is appalling.

Recaptcha is very forgiving with its audio captchas. Sometimes I'm given 1.5 words, so I enter just the one word and it works. Today I was given a clip from someone with a pretty strong accent and all I could make out from it is "transfers". So I entered "something something transfers", and it went through.
I'm pretty sure these can probably be defeated by modern transcription models, so I wonder how long we'll have such nice audio challenges.

I've been using Windows 10 since 2017 and have only just worked out how to turn off that bloody group by date thing in the downloads folder. View on the ribbon menu, group and set it to none.
sometimes I do find that useful, like in the recycle bin I'll set it to group by folders but for some reason I never thought it'd be that simple in Downloads.

It may not be Stonehenge, but it's still pretty impressive (and a thousand years older): the 'hunebed' at Borger, built 5400 years ago by the funnelbeaker culture. It was used as a burial mound for important people -- it would have been covered with earth, with one or more entrances left open.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

I love the sound of Slavic languages . I'd love to try learning one but I've don't think I could get my tongue round them.

Well my meeting with the pro-bono psychotherapist was a bust. He doesn’t believe in bipolar and thinks it’s basically a marketing ploy by Big Pharma. So that’s really not a good fit with me and my worldview, the diagnosis makes sense of my experiences in a way no other explanation has. Guess I will have to shop around for a therapist.

@datajake1999 just checking to see if you got my dm or whatever they're called on here.

I'll be watching the Eurovision final on Saturday. I've been reluctant to post this in case I get jumped on. but yeah. I'll probably be posting about it.
I'll use content warnings and hashtags. feel free to mute or block, whatever you see fit.
