Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! I'm an accessibility specialist for WhatsApp, which is about the least exciting thing about me. I also play video games--while blind! I hosted a politics podcast with Matt Cooper called The Game Is Rigged from 2017-2018. I've produced and acted in the Worm full-cast Audiobook project. I host a weekly show called Thoughtfood on Venom.FM from 12 to 3 PM PST on Sundays. I also sing and play drums. I'm even a snappy dresser--though this is disputed!

I don't feel quite like myself. Turning into someone else is killing me. Something has to change!

I keep getting a bluescreen whenever I restart due to something causing ntoskrnl.exe to lock pages. How can I debug the problematic driver or process that is causing this?

Why buy Waves Creative?

I snagged the vocal production bundle a few years ago for around $350. That also let me pick three free plugins, and free updates for a year. Now I need a new plugin, so I bought one new plugin, and a second one while I was there, for $65. This gives me another free plugin, another another year of updates, which includes plugins that were newly added to the bundle.

I now have all the plugins I will ever need! The subscription would drown me in plugins, and cost more!

What's the current state of the art when it comes to vocal removal? I used to use Demucs but hear that is no longer the best thing.

I went to go look up some of the classic Boomerang episodes I was raised on as a kid! Disappointingly, I'm not able to access their website. https://boomkids.squarespace.com/classic-episodes

There is supposed to be a list of episodes here to purchase, but none of the content is reading for me, I just see the navigation section and "powered by squarespace." Is that because there's an accessibility issue with rendering it to screenreaders, or is it not loading for anyone?

Quick question! On the web there is an ARIA-required tag which will mark a form field as required for screenreaders. Is there an equivalent for native apps?

There used to be a video from a guy talking about the golden shower he installed at a Trump property. It was uploaded in 2011. It was absolutely hilarious in light of future events, but the uploader (understandably) made it private. Did anyone happen to save a copy somewhere?

I got 6 wyze colored bulbs for my bathrooms. (they were half the price of the 4-pack of Hue white lights I got, and they don't have a hub!) I have been somewhat vexed deciding what colors to make them. Three bulbs per room just gives far too many possibilities for my ADHD brain to cope with! So, I have solved this problem in a very me way: random light colors! Now whenever you turn on the lights in a room, each one will come on with a different color. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/random-light-colors/582969

Has anyone tried setting up a local skybridge instance, and if so, can I creep on it? The public one is basically unusable because it is rate limited due to all the people on it, and I am too busy+stupid to set up docker and spin up a host and all that. But it's a great solution for getting Bluesky content in my fediverse client, which is what I am after. https://github.com/videah/SkyBridge

@NVAccess Was the option to choose NVDA's default sound output device moved? It used to be in synthesizers but do not see it anymore.

What turned me against the Free Software movement? It wasn't the tech industry's promises of money and power. It happened before I ever had a job in tech. My moment of radicalization came from an email from Richard Stallman.

What would it take to get natural voice support into NVDA? My understanding is that Microsoft wants to steer people towards Azure, but it's difficult to see how that would work in practice. Has anyone approached them about making this work?

I need to stop engaging with the Linux dorks. They are hopeless.

Sorry, GNU-Linux dorks.

Youtube music's podcast experience has annoyed me. For one thing, 2X is too slow for me! But also because the episodes play in reverse chronological order, which is just insane. So I guess I need a new app! What do folks recommend for ?

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: just writing "content warning" on a post isn't actually a content warning. It is virtue signaling.

If you actually care about warning your followers about objectionable content, use the content warning feature to obscure it. That's literally why it exists.

I really don't understand why I have to explain this very simple concept to grown adults who have been on the internet for years.

Edit: correct homonym usage. Thanks, internet!

@COWCAT I am having some trouble playing co-op Brok on PC with a PS5 controller. It seems like it is trying to control both characters at the same time. When I switch the co-op character to action mode, both characters do it and one of them will jump around in a circle. The rightstick won't select emojis, when I hold L2 it does the random statement and when I release it plays the fart.

I was able to fix it by using DS4WIndows and disconnecting the USB so that Windows no longer recognized it.
