I was heading home from CVS and decided to check prices between Uber and Lyft. Uber said it was only $3.79. Wow if that is going to be how much I pay to go to CVS now. looks like that’s the cheaper option. we’ll see if that still becomes available later, but who knows that is interesting. This trip normally cost you $7 each way.

Ok now this is getting out of hand. Who cares if your data is getting scraped off of stack overflow by openai. If you answered questions and helped people on SO then just think of how helpful that data will be in an LLM. Does it really matter if you get credit from an LLM.

AI and LLMs are here to stay, and let’s not push back on new technologies and ideas. We should embrace them and I don’t know, be part of the solution and don’t just remove your SO account.

@mikedoise The name of the game was that site anyway is to help people. I think this is being blown out of proportion.

Hey everyone, I have some news to share with you. As you may remember, I had some issues with YouTube a while ago, when they thought I was a child and blocked my live streams. I had to create another channel to continue sharing my content with you.
Well, guess what? They are trying to do it again! That's why I have decided to move to Twitch, where I can stream without any hassle.
On Twitch, I will be talking about accessibility, coding, and more tech topics, and maybe some gaming as well. I will also upload the videos to YouTube after the streams, so you can still watch them there if you prefer. But I would love it if you could follow me on Twitch and support me there.
So, please go to the link below and follow me on Twitch. I'm aiming for 50 followers by the end of this week, so let's make it happen! You guys are awesome and I appreciate your support so much. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I hope to see you on Twitch soon!

Good morning everyone! Here's some news, accompanied by a question. I will be streaming again very very soon. That's the news. The question is, does anyone have any suggestions for co-streaming, (now that Twitch is allowing it), that does not combine both chats? That's one of Twitch's requirements, that the chats not be combined.

I didn’t know that you didn’t have to put a quote for links in HTML. I’m wondering if the browsers may interpret it, but it may not pass validator

Good morning everyone.

I’ve been looking at podcast apps for the last several days, and Here is my opinion.

I've tried Downcast, and the sounds it makes is pretty nice, but I do feel like the interface is very minimal compared to the other two that I've tried.

Overcast is a very robust player, with better UI, and haptics as you move through the app. I like all of those features, and I like that the now playing UI is fully shown even while minimized.

Apple Podcasts is the last app I've tried at this time, and I love how this app works visually. There are no haptics, and the interface is similar to other Apple apps.

I would love to see these apps do better with push notifications, but I am still comparing based on this feature.

I have not looked at Pocket Casts, but that will be the next on my list.

@mikedoise I will have to try this

So it really is a shame that on the won't work with apps written in . It is an easy way to write GUI applications in Python.

@tayarndt@techopolis.social avatar

@mikedoise The thing is like for making mobile apps with python kiwi is one of the best options. Beware is starting to catch. Up I did talk to the kivy discord and a year or two back they didn’t seem like they wanted to make it accessible.

Exciting news to share! I've officially passed the Section 508 Trusted Tester certification, marking a significant milestone in my accessibility journey, which spans over six years.
This achievement is more than just a certification for me; it's a testament to my commitment to digital inclusivity and accessibility. Over the past six years, I've dedicated myself to understanding and advocating for the needs of all users, especially those with disabilities, in the digital realm. The Section 508 Trusted Tester certification deepens my expertise and equips me with robust tools to evaluate and enhance digital accessibility.
As someone passionate about making technology accessible to everyone, this certification reinforces my resolve to ensure that accessibility is integral to digital design and development. I am eager to apply these enhanced skills to create more inclusive and user-friendly digital experiences.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey - colleagues, mentors, and the accessibility community. Your guidance and inspiration have been pivotal in reaching this point.
I'm looking forward to continuing my work in this vital field, making a tangible difference in how we interact with technology. Let's make the digital world accessible for all!

@dalereardon Thanks for the feedback. I set up the store myself and I am a JAWS user. I understand the front-end may not be fully accessible. I have filed a support ticket with the team to make more accessible.
