I really wish blind people whos only disability is blindness would remember and keep at the front of their minds that "just because something talks, or makes noises,' does not by default make it accessible. And when someone who is blind tells you that this talking device/tool/thing isn't accessible that you don't immediately start yelling, name calling, etc. This shit is SO EXHAUSTING! There are people who "require" braille. Not because it's nice, or fun, or cool.... but because without it *nothing* is accessible. So when we say "This game" or "this tool" or smart speakers in general aren't accessible, it's facts. I'm going to go touch grass now.

I'm back to hosting the monthly DWeb Virtual meetups. Looking forward to this speaker lineup!
we take security very seriously. that's why we have gotten you used to constantly smashing in your login credentials until it becomes something you do uncritically and as fast as possible
This has been most useful when I was jumping over a fense near a waterfall and my phone managed to pop out of my pocket on the other side. Would have lost it there if I didn't know to go right back to it :P
I got an extra #cyborg sense called "Did I forget my phone somewhere" which triggers when my bluetooth headset randomly disconnects.
@jnkrtech Real! Right now you can kind of cheese it by defining a property thats set to a arrow function which you can wrap in whatever.
```
class foo {
example = memoize(async (args) => {etc})
}
```
A bit more gross to read IMO. I think you could also mess with the class prototype?
OK, I admit it: it'd be convenient if #JavaScript classes could have decorators on methods. Memoization of async methods would be so much cleaner and more reusable if we had them.
Unionizing creates opportunities for consent,
by ensuring that the ground rules establishing when consent is necessary during the course of business are understood by all parties, and enforceable by means of withdrawing labor when that consent is not respected.
@dumpsterqueer IMO we need more people off of social media and back into hanging out IRL. If the mainstream platforms died and we had some small niche spaces left for the weirdos then the world would be a better place.
will never understand why anyone would want the fedi to go "mainstream"; as though there's not already plenty of mainstream social networks for people who want to feel connected to everyone in the world
lean in to the weird little server vibes where you can chat shit and flirt with your friends imo; destroy the concept of "the fediverse" as a mappable monoculture and embrace how you can have fun just seeing a tiny 1% of posts from your cozy corner instead
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
