@graue @luis_in_brief the danger, of course, isn't the technology itself - which will never be powerful enough - but the human decision makers (bosses, CEOs, etc) that then decide it's just good enough and outsource decision-making to it (like they already are when it comes to screening job applications, hiring human writers/artists, etc)

Whatโ€™s your favorite โ€œChallenging but Funโ€ album? Something thatโ€™s always a bit difficult to listen to and sometimes hesitate to put on, but youโ€™re always glad you did?

Currently listening to โ€œThe Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of the Beastโ€ by Matmos, which is very much in this category for me

patrick_h_lauke,
@patrick_h_lauke@mastodon.social avatar

@mattly not sure if "challenging", but as an ambient/electronic afficionado, i'm always a bit hesitant with old Vangelis stuff like Albedo 0.39 and some of its jazz/prog instrumental noodlings ... but do enjoy them once i get to them in the end

@GoOz but is Obsidian itself accessible? admittedly I only looked at it a few years ago, but it was missing absolutely basic keyboard interaction, let alone screenreader support...

@GoOz sorry, wasn't meant as a gotcha type question. more my frustration at the time that the product was so inaccessible that i couldn't recommend it to people...honestly wondering if they improved at all

Having trouble sleeping of late. Not sure why. Might be the light waking me. But Iโ€™m always awake around 5 and then I just doze for a bit until itโ€™s time to get up. But I also have tinnitus thatโ€™s been quite bad of late and so have a quiet audio thing running on my iPhone every night.

Mrs G just send over a link to this: https://www.snoozeband.co.uk/products/snoozebandโ„ข-deluxe-sleep-mask-with-headphones

Tempting. Anyone tried one of these (or similar)? If so, any good?

patrick_h_lauke,
@patrick_h_lauke@mastodon.social avatar

@craiggrannell i've been using these sorts of "sleep mask with built-in headphones" for ages now (as i like to fall asleep with ambient music but in-ear headphones always ended up uncomfortable). it's been great and i get to sleep much easier (also good for midday naps)

J K Rowling calls trans soccer official a crossdressing straight man for no reason.

Look, even Elon Musk has advised her to get some other interests. Itโ€™s quite the journey sheโ€™s been on but sheโ€™s not alone and one day Iโ€™m sure psychiatrists will write books about this and other phenomena of our time.

@christineburns the constant drip-feeding of hate and the resulting attention from her "fans" as a result is the reason. she needs constant new targets to keep her discourse going

A majority of British voters now believe Brexit was a mistake.
A mistake our children will be paying for, for years to come. A selfish, short-sighted decision, rooted in racism and xenophobia. The world is in a dangerous place, what a time to be isolated.

@siblingpastry @marcus @SaraSoueidan thinking a basic "why are my custom key events not working with screen readers (on windows)?" look at windows SRs and how they consume (or just filter) keystrokes before they even reach the page, and how the appropriate role (or, as nuclear option, role=application) can usually solve this. similar to my recent aria-live exploration, with tests and results if needed
