You might have noticed that the Teletext Archive has been up and down like a pogo stick just lately. The usual server is buckling under the strain, so I've moved it to another provider. I haven't moved the domain name yet, so it redirects to a temporary address, but links should still work. It's certainly a lot faster. There are no bitmaps yet and search isn't working at the moment, but it's a lot faster. I just need to see how much the data will cost me :-) www.teletextarchive.com

@grim_fandango When clicking on the Featured Upload link (BBC1, Saturday, 30 August 1975), I get:

One of my most memorable pieces of music journalism is this thing that was written in 2001 in Spin magazine:

"Among the bands willing to be Radiohead™ because Radiohead didn't want to be Radiohead™ anymore were: Travis (Radiohead but nice), Coldplay (Radiohead but sincere), Doves (Radiohead but vaguely funky), Muse (Radiohead but not that good), David Gray (Radiohead for your mom), and Clinic (Radiohead for Radiohead)."

@aharoni My guess is the first option, except it's not so secret. See https://udm14.com/

/ / / folks, plz compare:

In your experience, would UX from the 2nd link distract, overstimulate or bother you in a way that represents an issue?

Note: I'm not the one proposing this, I'm not even affected. I ask for the sake of others; polling for statistical sample size.

@nekohayo Autistic person here. Centring a variable-length URL that might be truncated on the right simply makes no sense and is highly annoying, so please just don't.

I didn't know what to answer on the poll. I could put up with such a broken centred address display if I really had to, so it's not a "serious" accessibility issue. But I do have the option of using another browser instead, and I would.

This really has been one of the most careless corporate rebrands in history, hasn’t it? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@mcdutchie@cybre.town avatar

@transponderings It's perfectly on brand for Musk and his total lack of anything resembling management skills.

On a related note, I'm not surprised the blocking feature is still there. Musk fired all the competent engineers months ago and no one worth their salt would want to work there now, so I suspect they have no idea how to remove the feature without breaking the site completely.

Was just at the most amazing talk I’ve attended for a long time* – totally worth the online fee for #Autscape2023 on its own :gi:

Nat Titman was talking about ‘The Autism–Dissociation Association’, and managed to cram so many novel ideas and relatable points into an hour and a quarter

They also gave a model example of genuinely informative and well-timed content notes/trigger warnings

*allowing for SDAM 😉

Nat's slides are quite complete, you can get all the essentials from them.

Question for @actuallyautistic and #neurodivergent communities.

I'm writing a paper on deconstructing neurodiversity. I'm looking for archival copies of the Autism Network International newsletter published in either 1992 or 1993. Any help much appreciated !!!!!!!

mcdutchie,
@mcdutchie@cybre.town avatar

@eilisnichaoimh What does it mean to "deconstruct neurodiversity"?

Maybe @Ira407 of the Autistic Archive can help with the old copies of "Our Voice" (the ANI newsletter).

#SineadOConnor (1966-2023) was a #neurodivergent* survivor who spoke truth at all costs, including mass ableist and sexist abuse. RIP. https://www.dailyedge.ie/sinead-oconnor-pope-3632821-Oct2017/

*Yes, bipolar and mental illness are #neurodivergence too, and as such are part of human #neurodiversity.

Has anyone worked out which font Musk stole his new logo from yet?

#𝕏 #Twitter #TwitterLogo #fonts

mcdutchie,
@mcdutchie@cybre.town avatar

@transponderings @padraig @Gwendolyn It is part of many fonts, being a standard Unicode character: 𝕏, the "mathematical double-struck capital X" (U+1D54F).

@exme @JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic Congratulations and welcome to our neuro-family. I bet you're still trying to figure out what it all means.

One important thing is that autism isn't all bad; there are good things about it (whether it's "worth it" is another question and depends on the individual).

For instance, you might enjoy this research, showing that we are different but not deficient in communication and in building rapport with others: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1362361320919286

@CarrieHall1001 @hosford42 @actuallyautistic

I can't think of any autistic person who is not autigender by that definition. Autism influences your whole way of being, gender included.
