I decided to record the forest in autumn during one of my regular walks a couple of days ago. The weather was nice. A few birds, wind, the gravel under my feet. When I got home I recorded some piano, pads, bells, and put it all together.

Something I learned very intimately lately is just how variable disabilities can be. And this extends not just to mental disabilities but physical disabilities as well. The main disability I had before was static. Each day was like the last more or less. I always knew intellectually of course that this isn't the case for everything. And going through it is something else. So don't judge disabled people on their good or bad days. Sometimes it can be almost completely ok. Other days it'll be beyond a struggle to keep going. And often you don't know what it's gonna be until you're there. Don't be so quick to judge people one way or the other. If you see them then it's likely because they could manage then. It doesn't mean tomorrow will be the same.

I'm sure that my TV's screen reader reading out minified JavaScript source code whenever I open up the YouTube app is not part of bug fixing and performance improving. Is it?

Nice that Androids Talkback has AI in it now but the keyboard experience is still not so great. Google. Please...

Oh no bitwarden what the hell did you do to your website?

<a aria-label="go to https://bitwarden.com/products/personal/" data-testid="cta-link" class="plausible-event-name=navigation+drop+menu+click plausible-event-button=products+pm+personal ......

It keeps going on and on. And the result? A menu that reads like this to a screen reader:

link go to https://bitwarden.com/pricing/business/

link go to https://bitwarden.com/download/

link go to https://bitwarden.com/developers/

Can we collectively add a thing to VS Code that pops up a really big warning when you control s any file that has aria-label in it that says "You probably don't wanna do this!" and won't let you proceed until you enter a very good reason for why you did this, which is then inspectable in the html source for all of us to see?

But seriously was it always Haskell? Why did I think it was Python and why was I so convinced? Weird stuff.

I have committed a grave error. An egregious mistake. I thought Pandoc was a Python thing. It was not. It is, of course, a Haskell thing. I am forever sorry for all the functional gods I may have angered with my false beliefs and I will attempt to recategorize Pandoc as not a python thing in my mind, though I fear it may be difficult.

Apple. No. We need to talk. We have a big big problem. That problem is AirPods. I never, and I do mean never, want my AirPods to connect to my watch. Ever. So stop aggressively pulling them away from my phone even when there's clearly audio playing on said phone. Also, when I press forget this device on the watch, who in their absolutely right mind thought that this should mean forget them on all devices connected to my iCloud account? No seriously who? I need to talk to them. Nicely. And explain to them that this is just wrong. It's wrong. That's not what that option should do. Nobody thinks that's what that option should do.

Because this is me, I added UI sounds to it. And I'm pretty happy that I managed to get them to play without interrupting already playing audio on iOS.

The completely hand written web app of this thing with offline message syncing, voice notes recording and playback, file uploading, camera, all the accessibility stuff like arrow navigable lists, the speech stuff, sound code, all the dynamic things, PWA and offline support, is 37 kb of javascript. 9 kb gzipped. And I'm sure I can get this down even further. Don't tell the framework people this. They might come for me.

It's very unusual. Because of course it is.

It seems like I've reached that stage of programmer life where I'm building my own note taking app because I don't like any of the existing ones.

I assume it's going to go just about as well as you would expect.

It's fun though. I'm having fun.

But hey I achieved something today I thought I never would. I got BsI to output the text I meant to type. That's definitely new.

The reason I like direct touch normal keyboard is it requires very little phone juggling. It's very quick to do. It also isn't full screen so I can still kind of explore the visible parts of the screen above the keyboard. I'd also say it's really quick to type with two thumbs but I suppose that's more familiarity than anything else. You can probably be pretty quick with BsI too especially with contracted braille input. I forgot a lot of my English contracted braille though so I'd have to relearn that. I only ever really read German contracted braille. Which obviously won't work well for typing in English

Missed the apostrophe but the rest was fine. I think this is the first time I ever got this to actually output proper text.
