A reminder that @elk is a very nice Mastodon client

pax,

@joelanman @elk sadly not accessible with screenreaders, unless they changed something

@evilcookies98 boosting because I know that it's right thing to do.

pax,

@evilcookies98 I know, I listened to you and almost cried like you.

It still takes a while before Meta(P92) joins the Fediverse and the recent times we have read a lot of things from both sides

Polls are not super reliable but maybe it will give a better overall picture of what you, the people using these platforms want

The result will not be the definite outcome for us but I do take it into heavy consider because I love you all very much!

"Would YOU want to federate with Meta's new platform?"

pax,

@stux block meta 😾🤮

My main speech dictionary now has this new rule to suppress the following since I've been encountering it more and more.

"A D V E R T I S E M E N T"

In case you were wondering,, each letter is pronounced every time a frame opens where an ad is supposed to go and the end of the frame. It's as annoying as it sounds. Nothing like interrupting the reading flow.

Wishing ad blockers were smart enough to remove the frames along with the ads.

#accessibility #a11y #ads #advertising #advertisement

pax,

@ppatel @x0 ublock is having some drama about getting paid for ad's to come through.

pax,

@ppatel @x0 they apparently did that to get some money to get this adblock going.

pax,

@ppatel brave's adblocker is smart enough to get rid of it.

Yes I want Linux on my iPhone! :ed_grin:

Let’s see if we can get working on iOS 17 :apple_inc:

pax,

@djvdq @stux @wagesof IOS 16 betas were stable, not like 17.

pax,

@stux @wagesof @djvdq probably you have terrible battery life and crashes of apps

pax,

@stux utm is broken under IOS, unless I'm missing something?

pax,

@djvdq @stux yep, but running dev beta on production/important machine is like asking for trouble.

pax,

@stux and why you have IOS 17 on your iPhone, that is not production ready.

Ericbomb, to gamedev

Hi everyone! Can anyone who depends on a screen reader read this for me and tell me if it works? I'm making a tutorial on how to make a Roguelike for my blind accessible game engine, so just wanna make sure it's in a good format! It will have informational and instructional content split up to hopefully make it easier for screen readers to find what is needed. Download .txt sample file here!

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon yaaay!
mention me and send the link when you'll release it, I will yell with excitement, then try it, making good game in process.

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon I am waiting for this engine, I will play with it when it comes, I'm happy that we will have something actually workable and I hope that I will be able to redistribute games made with this thingy.

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon
you should make 2 types of an executable.
one that would launch encrypted, unmodifiable game files, as devs would love to close down their projects.
next one would be executable for the developer, which would prompt for the password while running and will be decrypting and encrypting them in the background.

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon and there's no executable.

pax,

@Ericbomb good.

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon oh, only for windows?

pax,

@Ericbomb @talon good.
and, do you need help with compiling under macOS?
or do you need the library for speech?
I really would love to try it under macOS

pax,

@talon @Ericbomb the shortcut is not working, atleast for me.

So… Um… I hit VO+SHift+L on Sonoma, and… Alert “VoiceOver” is using a deprecated API that will be removed in the future. Please contact the developer for an updated version.

pax,

@TheQuinbox @talon @ppatel use ungoogled chromium, has only issues with youtube, but those are small issues.

First reaction after installing Apple Beta 2 on Mac (iPhone is still updating): Pitch changes are still broken with VO and multi case strings are still strung together with Eloquence, and I still can't control VO through Applescript. On the other hand though, we got even more per-voice settings for Eloquence. The pitch base parameter now works, and we got 2 new switches. Phrase prediction and abbreviation dictionary. Very happy about that last one!

pax,

@pitermach hey, is status menu working again?
that bug made me switch back.
btw any notable vo features that also are worth it?

pax,

@pitermach weird, on beta 1 they were borked.
