Oh, I can do a bunch of fun stuff now that I'm already sidecarring data into a sqlite database.

Doing the accessibility stuff is kinda making me think about localization. But I'm using like Heath's public domain translation and shit even for the English lololololol

Perona is one I was kinda immediately annoyed at her character in thriller bark but she became such a great character, especially on rewatching it, and I love her.

The way it's Perona leaving Zoro for dead and then immediately her nursing him to health

Yes! Accercisor is borked in whole ways, but I'm starting to be able to control buttons that I drew in SDL_GPU through accessibility actions in accercisor.

I'm scared to watch the "Can slime mold get stoned?" video.

I really just got a recruiter asking me about a role that the second line is must be willing to work 7 days a week onsite. Um. Fuck off man.

000

At least orca and screen readers still do work basically right with supported apps. But all the dev tools for Linux accessibility are fucked on Wayland.

Idk man, if you've got multiple people across multiple projects who've all worked quietly on major open source projects for decades all having crash outs over fascism, maybe there's a fucking fascism problem and their naming it is the part of the crash out we actually should pay attention to? Idk...

100

A lot in Linux space rn is someone crashing out about the thing they've spent hours of their life on being coopted by fascists then being dragged as unreasonable while some actual fucking Nazi shows up, does Nazi shit, and everyone wrings their hands over not being able to do anything about it

It's actually weird as hell to see people argue for Mastodon on here at the same time that one community I kinda pay a little attention to that is big on Mastodon especially is up in some Nazi shit over there right now.

Anyway, y'know, at the turn of the century, EHRs were largely over engineered garbage that even the physicians they were made for could barely figure out how the hell to use (not much has changed there), until governments decided to throw a shitton of money at EHR adoption, including firms like the

I see the EU budget hawks are as insane as the US budget hawks.

Id take the general CTO existential anxiety more humanely if every single one wasn't effectively, "Oh, I don't have intrinsic worth only because I can write code?! But I do because I can be a modern slaveholder?! Oh wow!"

Dude, the majority of software dev jobs have fuck all to do with getting anything actually done and a lot more to do with representing the power of the employer.

it really shouldn't be so extreme to say that I'd rather die than not find my way back to nomadism. I'm not asking something absurd, and even if I was, the only threat to you is that I challenge your concept of a definitive good life

Now that is a fascist I'm very happy didn't come over to BlueSky, it's odd to see screenshots of him.

000

I'm literally fucking reading posts while thinking about my code in this stupid level. Like it's literally who owns the message once it's sent. That's it. That's the question, and I'm like, "Huh. That's philosophically interesting the more we look at this because ... "

100

Istfg, for better or worse, I really do have my entirely own epistemology and shit. Mostly, I think I'm a crazy dumbass when I get thinking like this, but I *waves hands around inside the mass chaos of my mind* this shit man

100

This project and discourse on my feed are reminding me a LOT about my standing argument that math is most appropriately positioned in the humanities 🤷

Subjecting 940 people on BlueSky to my every random thought about developing this app

100

I don't think I can do the display/Julia thread splits the way I want without fucking rewriting the core of the app again lololololol. I just have this actor model framework in the Julia but I mostly have these constant producer-owned message buffers in the display/Julia comms right now.

It's just that a custom voice interface *should* be more interesting than a screen reader at this point O_o

I am sincerely happy for you (environmental and political issues aside) but my point stands that most people — dare I say those we might call normal people — simply do not think of their lives this way. For them to train an agent they would have to first do a lot of emotional and cognitive work.

I might make a custom voice command interface to operate the app just because I'm fucking pissed at Wayland rn

100

Anyway, I guess I'm doing accessibility work on Mac and Windows and just fucking guessing that it kinda works on Linux if you don't have a fucking asshole setup

Tressie McMillan Cottom @tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Oh fuck off, forums are full of accessibility experts complaining that Wayland refuses to work with them because of some elitist security dog shit

And I cannot say this part enough — AI agents aren’t fun. Maybe some of the LLM/chatbot experience captured affect. But an existential crisis about your social relations and how hard your life is so you can solve .0001% of a problem task at about 60-70% accurate, if you’re lucky, isn’t fun.

I'm terrified what Shopko Russel Brand's rust code looks like. The borrow checker can "help" AI, but omfg, AI will do absolutely apeshit code smells in response to that shit.

At this point, I have a whole category of code that I let an AI fix static analysis reports on, and some of it is like fucking the worst istfg. I don't think the people who say it's dog shit writing realize just how much so is the code lmfao

100

**Nobody fucking knows how to measure software development speed** Istfg, if we've learned *anything* from the last 3 years of engineers arguing over AI code, one thing we've learned is nobody has a fucking clue and everyone disagrees what the fuck measure even makes any sense.

The accessibility tools are all fucked under Wayland specifically because Wayland has a stick up their ass about having a global coordinate system like every other fucking OS on the fucking planet.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

No, I will not read the article. I'm happy.

BBC article "Cardboard towards culture toppled after wind hits" and its a picture of the toppled tower.
