Hey European music unis/conservatoires, how about we get on devising proper DM/DMA Performance programmes? Cause uh... I really should be looking into applying for some, and the decent ones are currently only really offered in America, and uh... I'm not super incredibly enthused about the idea of potentially going to live in the US right about now. For whatever reason.

For reference, this is the one I got today: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07LB67NNG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

So I just got a rice cooker off of Amazon. Every rice cooker I've seen so far has a lid with two components, and inner one with some sort of rubber steam vent thingy and a (plastic I think?) outer one with a tight seal. The one I got today seems to just have a glass lid with a little circular steam hole, just like any regular old saucepan/pot lid, and no rubber seal at all, it just goes on top of the inner pot/steamer attachment.
Is this normal? Any idea on whether this will be worse at all than the other kind? Should I try to find a better one?

Went to see this place. Was told the rest of the tenants were not comfortable with a guide dog and that they won't be able to have me. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, but 1) the dog is with me all the time and I'm happy having him stay in the room when I go into communal areas and 2) it's of course unlawful to discriminate because of this.
And also of course, no matter how unlawful it is, the only thing I can do is complain, send them informative documents, etc unless I want to get into legal battle, which I don't have the money for. Of course it'd be much easier to stay in a place by myself, but in London I also don't have the money for that.
Soooooo yeaaaaah, if anyone knows anything about decent accommodation in London...

Trying to find a place to stay for the academic year in London. So far, three places have been all great and ready to offer a viewing until I mention I'm blind. Then it's all "are you sure you can go up stairs? Because I don't want to be responsible if you fall or anything".
Quoting literally. I'm not kidding. I don't so much mind that they don't know that the average blind person can go up and down stairs without a problem, but telling me to my face that they don't want to be responsible in those words is amazing. Seriously I love this.

Oh right, apparently this is necessary. I'm speaking from my own experience, but this extends to many people in many particular situations that require accommodations, not just blind people. I'm not qualified to talk about those, so I don't. Also this isn't about those options not being fully available to certain collectives, it's about them not being available at all, whatsoever. This isn't pre-Symbian territory, you can't just learn the menus of your Pinephone.

Having ideals and being convinced of them is great. It's all fine and good. Until your ideals make you feel very strongly that you want to switch to an open-source OS (desktop or mobile) running on open-source devices, but you happen to be blind. The Pinephone is amazing! But if you're blind? Nope, tough luck, buddy.
Oh boy here come the comments saying "it's open-source, if you want accessibility you can implement it yourself".

[#]Blind/#Screenreader users: I'm looking for a to-do/task list app that is quick and easy for simple operation, but also somewhat feature-rich (at this point I'll settle for anything though), and has decent support for both Mac UI/Unix CLI and iOS in some form. I know there are many, MANY such apps. I can't find a single one that is actually quick and easy with a screenreader on both platforms. Which... That's kinda the point of a productivity app.
Microsoft To Do used to be perfect (though I would have much preferred self-hosted), then the Mac app stopped working and I can't get it to work again no matter how much I try to clear all of its data.
