ooo, looking into this… i’ve been thinking of starting a new blog-esque project and debating if i stick to hugo because that’s what my current blog runs, or switch to something new & hopefully migrate my current blog down the line. i truly hate the way hugo is developed and it’s only going to be a liability as time goes on.
may i ask how straightforward the move was? were you porting an entire theme or just the content?

i’m going through some boxes, and i absolutely have no reason to keep this box for a cheap, plastic phrase sampler with about 13″ of volatile memory… but just bask in its glory for a second before i toss it

they were charging more than five bucks back in the day, too.

i seem to remember some of the weird high-contrast stuff (for, like, slides of diagrams and other specialty purposes) i used to play with had odd (but not ortho) responses… though i’d be hard-pressed to come up with details. but ultimately, i think you kind of answered yourself by the fact that learning color filters was just a part of the art, and keeping the response relatively flat and predictable meant the artists maintained that control.

i don’t think anyone knows, and that’s the ominous part 😅 they recently made an announcement that was just kind of like ‘big things are coming’ with no info and at the same time pulled the ability to purchase any new licenses. so folks are rightfully kinda freaked out ‘cause y’know… when, in recent history, has that been a ~good~ omen in tech?

if memory serves, gnome chess itself doesn’t come with engines, so i would be curious what your distro is bundling… i don’t know why they wouldn’t just dump stockfish in, but even gnu chess is capable of rather high elo play… guessing the interface is just telling the engine to play at a low level and not really adjusting elo according to your wins?

having shared an egregious amount of personal data with a parking middleman and their unknown quantity of business partners, i stare at the back of my phone, smiling. i wish my phone always looked like this. no apps. no onerous privacy policies. no screen. i see a quarter on the ground and snap back to those halcyon days where a parking meter didn’t come with a terms of service agreement.

thanks for suggesting i call them ‘0.23 meter nails’ instead, phone, everyone knows and loves that band

it helped that you could grab a book like ‘80 programs to manage your personal finance in the basic language’ etc. with a clear path of learning code to accomplish something personally useful instead of just coding for the sake of slogging through some incomprehensible corporate bullshit. a whole ecosystem of ‘computer as universal tool’ vs. subscribing to the least worst software package on the market etc.

the radio-browser site doesn’t list it, but the android/ios versions of foobar2000 make use of radio-browser as well, which is how i get down to the indie beat 😎

given, like, the design of the 1541, it is pretty fitting though. c64 loves bonus cpus 😹

one interesting example of this is the final chesscard, which included an additional processor and ram in the cart for the chess engine - http://blog.worldofjani.com/?p=3460

any time an artist i’m actively paying attention to releases one, i’ll watch it once i’m aware of it. often i become aware because of youtube recommending them, and i’ll typically set aside a bit of time to then watch some new stuff as well as some known faves. i definitely miss the mtv/vh1 era, but i’m thrilled that the artform hasn’t died out!

i was looking at listenbrainz again recently and was a bit frustrated they tout selling datasets for ai training right on their homepage 😕 though i haven’t looked into it further…

go to the ‘reader’ link, and replace ‘epubviewer’ in the url with just ‘epub’

echoing the other sentiments i’ve been seeing: the @npub1nuu…gjr3 stream that just concluded was an absolutely wonderful experience

mars volta - _frances the mute_ comes to mind as another good example of locked-groove runout loops
but i’d mostly feel remiss seeing this conversation and not mentioning rrr-100 and rrr-500 from rrrecords. 100/500 artists respectively creating as many loops on vinyl. essentially random what you’d hear on any given play. not easy listening, but i love these releases because they’re exploiting a uniqueness of the medium.

oh yeah, i wouldn’t have bothered responding if i thought otherwise! i think i have very similar hopes/optimism for gemini as you, i just do accessibility work for a living so these things jump out at me. hope i didn’t come off as confrontational.

yeah, i think building up from csv makes a lot of sense!
re: headers, prioritizing cells instead of rows is wiser, or at the very least a mechanism to declare a column as well.
a typical default in a screen reader is to announce the column header any time you move the screen reader’s ‘cursor’ to a new column, and same with rows… can be quite easy to get lost without those relationships present.
but yeah, it is definitely not an insurmountable problem

2024-10-07 19:14:40 UTC

i missed your earlier suggestion, apologies on that!
screen readers have a variety of setting levels for various special characters. defaults tend to be verbose, which could certainly be an issue… but the big one is having an actual structure so the screen reader knows how to navigate it and folks can move cell-to-cell quickly, get relevant header info quickly, etc.
so yeah, any solution where the structure of the table is actually communicated to the screen reader is viable.

doing tables this way is, unfortunately, an accessibility nightmare, and i think accessibility is one place we shouldn’t be looking backward from the modern web.
now, if such a method became standardized in a way that clients would be able to properly translate the structure for a screen reader, that’d be peachy.

huh, every other month for the past few years, yamaha has released background-sized images of exploded views of their products. i realize it’s just marketing, but they are beautifully done and worth looking through. https://www.yamaha.com/en/about/experience/wallpaper/

it’s always felt weird to me how allergic folks seem to be to job control. job control is great.
