“In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away”

teun,

@passenger @dogzilla @dibi58 @stevenbodzin @juandesant @pvonhellermannn @espanabizarra That's fascinating! It reminds me of Donna Haraway's Camille Stories, in which 'Communities of Compost' pop up in the near future which commit to (re-)learning to live on damaged land in small-scale and radically different ways. Perhaps involuntary parks are indeed the places where this kind of re-imagining needs to happen.

She talks about it here: https://youtu.be/Z1uTVnhIHS8?t=4335

Been thinking about digital accessibility, Word, and Markdown. Moving away from PDFs, my university (which I’m perfectly fine with) wants to predominantly move in two directions: HTML web documents (sometimes they are so far online only with heavy headers/footers) and Word documents (which various accessibility apps support). a) problem with the former is we lose the P from PDF = portable if they are only viewable online in a browser or bulky web archives and … 1/x

teun,

@ClaireFromClare @konrad @tinebeest A fellow student of mine is blind, and they vastly prefer Word documents over PDFs. Even if a PDF is properly exported with accessibility options enabled, there's still hard-coded line breaks that make it difficult to, for instance, copy-paste a piece of text. There's also the fact that headers and footers are hard to distinguish from the main text. Poorly made documents are worse still.

I also absolutely adore PDF, but in a11y terms it's not perfect.

Going to switch back to foot to be honest. Kitty is good and it allows me to fullscreen the terminal and still be transparent where as Kitty doesn't but that isn't a show stopper. Kittys memory usage and 2 second startup delay are quite annoying though.
1/2

teun,

@JustineSmithies Fun fact: Kitty's dev does not really care about optimizing startup speed and regularly makes this clear. See https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/330 and https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/4292#issuecomment-981090208.

I roughly had the same experience with Kitty and then just switched back to xfce's default, because I realized I didn't really need any of Kitty's goodies.
