I was recently informed by my building administrator that there is another tenant living in the building who says she has a service dog, and has "papers" for it. It is a 2-yo pitbull, and has attacked a 5-yo child as well as other adults. The staff member wanted to make me aware of the issue. She didn't tell me where the tenant lives, but she did tell me the areas of the building that she frequents with the dog, and what entrance she uses. They are at a loss as how to prove her service dog is fake, which they and I are sure it is. No service dog should attack anyone ever. I decided to do a quick google search just for the heck of it, and although I was very specific, I got a page of results featuring websites that offer service dog certificates. This just proves how easy it is to create fraudulent service dog licenses. If anyone has ideas of who I could tell the building to contact, I'd love to hear them. I did tell the staff member that just being a service dog, whether or not it can be proved that it's legit, doesn't mean the dog can behave any way it wants and it will be protected. It has to be clean and well mannered, otherwise the dog and its handler can be legally removed from an establishment. I've also considered the possibility that maybe there is no legal way out of this, but surely if the license is fraudulent, there must be a way to prove it.

I have been trying since October to update my Android device. I need it for work. I currently have a Pixel 5 which won't run Android 15. I have placed 4, yes four, separate orders between Amazon and Best Buy, and all orders were canceled. I guess me having a newer Pixel isn't meant to be. I wasn't even going for the latest model, I was trying to buy a Pixel 8 pro. Perhaps between Prime Day, Black Friday, and Xmas/ BOXING Day sales maybe they sold out incredibly fast. Here's hoping I can get a new phone soon!

So, all of Canada, and probably a good part of the U.S. too, will soon be at the mercy of a polar vortex. I remember we had one 2 or 3 years ago, and temps were below - 40 Celsius with the windchill. Absolutely brutal! I am not looking forward to this. On the upside, at least I don't have to commute to work.

Slack has to be the most responsive team if you file an #accessibility bug. They are also really quick to fix said bugs, as documented in their latest release notes from the app store.
Bug fixes • What's in a name? In your audit logs, any mobile users who viewed a PDF were being logged as "Slack User" rather than their official handle. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but the security team needs to know who had access to those documents. Tragedy averted. • With VoiceOver enabled, the button to "Add a reaction" was not selectable. Some would say that "Act, don't react" is a wise maxim, but we believe in both. We hope the action of fixing this bug elicits a positive reaction. • VoiceOver was glossing over usernames when reading out DMs. As intriguing as it might be to play “Guess who wrote that message?” it can also be, frankly, pretty annoying. We’re sorry about that.

I'm in a reading slump. Anyone have any suggestions in the genres of fantasy, scifi, or I'd even switch it up with a good mystery. No romantacy, please. #Bookstodon #books #reading #scifi #fantasy #mystery #detective

I haven't crocheted in years, but I still have a tidy supply of yarn and all of my hooks. Last night, I went to Walmart and bought a big ball of cotton yarn to make some dish cloths. Something simple to ease me back into crocheting. Since Sundays are not terribly busy at work, I expect I'll have a few made by the end of the day. My only dilemma is that I have forgotten how to thread a yarn needle once the project is done and I need to weave in my ends. So far, all of the tutorials I have been able to find on Youtube have been most unhelpful because it's assumed that I can see the video to follow along with what they're doing. I had the same problem years ago when I first learned to crochet, so I know I will figure it out. I am completely self-taught. I think I had a book that was written specifically for blind crocheters, but it's been so long, I have no idea what I did with it. (It's a digital file, not a physical book.) I might ask chat GPT to give me instructions on threading a yarn needle. Anyway, I'm excited to take up crochet again. I love to create things, and I haven't been doing that lately.

Here's the last pic of the day. I'm using chat GPT to crop the photos. It works, sort of. There were originally 4 stones in the pic, but 2 of them were quite small so I guess the AI cropped them outt.

I am working today, but it's really slow. I'm still at my sister's place, and I'm set up in her craft room. She has a very extensive collection of rocks and crystals, so I am amusing myself by taking photos of the crystals and having AI identify them. The crystals are all various shapes and sizes. I think I might start my own collection. Here is a pic of the first one.

So I decided to upload my crazy AI file to Suno to see what kind of song it would come up with. Unfortunately, uploading audio seems to be inaccessible using Voiceover on the Mac in both Safari and Chrome. Anyone have any tips? #Suno #A11y

Good morning! Here, for your listening pleasure, is an AI Eleven Labs voice run amuck...or something. I loaded a book into Eleven Readeron iOS yesterday. The app doesn't have the greatest controls for skipping all of the bits I don't care to read at the beginning. As soon as the voice starts to read the table of contents, it goes whacky.

I never thought I'd say this ever in my life, but I miss working in Excel. Google sheets are awful! For some reason, when I use them in Chrome, they aren't enterin g in information int he cell that voiceover says is highlighted. Using them in Safari is worse, I can barely get Voiceover to speak anything, and that's with all of the #accessibility settings turned on.
I know I can export to an excel file, but it's a bit more difficult when it's a shared sheet.

So I've seen people post from this app called feditext recently. I looked it up and found a GitHub site, but it’s not on the App Store.

Off to the dentist shortly, then heading to the Apple store to pick up an early Xmas gift from me to me, a new Apple Watch series 10 to replace my 7. I'm also going to have one of their supposed geniusus take a look at my 2020 MacBook Air which won’t boot up properly. I have to get it fixed before I can sell it.

Is anyone surprised by this news? I’m not. This guy is a snake, he needs to stay right where he is, in jail. And why does he have internet access while locked up anyway? I didn’t think inmates were allowed internet access, but I guess either money talks or the rules have changed. https://apnews.com/article/diddy-sean-combs-indictment-bail-9194f48e5f3326afb8c36068b2149492?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub
