sanism, trans genocide 

it really would have been better if more people questioned the entire concept of mental illness and the idea of it being grounds for removing someone's bodily autonomy, it's extremely fucked up and allows and directly causes so much horrific abuse, and the only people who say anything about it are psychiatric survivors and no one even listens to them
and now in Russia they are actively banning transition and the state is openly attempting to make sure all trans people are treated as mentally ill and "cured" in what must be horrific ways
and i wonder if this will eventually happen in the U.S.
but if your response is "this is bad because trans people aren't actually mentally ill" then fuck off, those "crazy schizos" you find so annoying don't deserve to be tortured either, and it should have been obvious that if society accepts human rights violations for any group (mentally ill, terrorists, etc.) then the next step is that label being used on anyone the establishment wants to get rid of, and if you reached adulthood without thinking of this then you don't think enough
if everyone collectively agreed to stand up for those who are most despised, like unhoused folks and people with highly stigmatized neurodivergences, we might not have to worry about being the next genocide target
but if you think some genocide is acceptable as long as it has an imposed limit that stops it from affecting you then seriously fuck off

@0149170fe78b061ce6c7295fff2daa303f710ba17efd8fafd8343292b4295e84@mostr.pub Yeah, I might need to buy a chromebook to understand what it's even like for them.

@queenslight Yeah, I'm thinking about changing the approach. Sadly Agregore stuff only really works where you own hardware.

I'm thinking teaching how to hack sites with chrome devtools might be more useful overall.

@queenslight Oh yeah! I wonder if classes on programming exist for blind folks already. Most of my presentations are audio heavy and I try to post markdown docs alongside the slides, but defs the code part would take finesse to describe.

I feel like a bunch of text for tutorials and an audio call where folks can ask questions might work?

@andrew_chou I have a raw recording but I still need to clean it up and remove some nonsequiters and "ums". Been kinda busy and havn't gotten around to it. I could send you a private copy if you'd like though.

Been hanging out at local libraries to get a bit more aquainted with them.

Apparently one of them has a makerspace. Gonna see about running some workshops or something for teaching folks to program. The hardest part would be logistics since the library only really offers chromebooks for folks to borrow. :/

People of the #fediverse, especially those creating various services, there are alternatives to HCAPTCHA when you ask people to create accounts or login. Despite HCAPTCHA's propaganda, HCAPTCHA is not truly accessible to #blind people. It requires us to give up our privacy if we choose the cookie option. The text alternative doesn't work most times. I just tried to sign up for a /kbin server at redit.buzz and wasted 30 mins on HCAPTCHA.

Please be #inclusive!

we need more roving vendors. they shouldn't be solely the province of ice cream and scams.

@Azure @alcinnz @loke @lunch I've been thinking of using "component registries" which attach themswlves to a semantic web schema (by url string) and take in data passed as RDF the spit out UI elements. I was thinking html/css for rendering could still be useful to avoid making a new engine to start, but ideally it should spit out something more simple and platform agnostic. E.g the UI elements defined by ARIA roles.

A user could then mix and match components from their registry.

@lunch @Azure @alcinnz @loke Yeah agreed. For HTML I was thinking that limiting to what's defined in the ARIA accessibility tree would be a good place to focus.

for more complex data semantic web schemas could give us more options on how to interpret data.

We are not at the end of the useful Internet. We may be nearing the end of the phase where the corporate Internet pretended it didn't feel entitled to your attention and efforts.

Any of these large media sites have been useful in the last 15 years, it was rarely because of anything they did. Usually in spite of.

@alcinnz @Azure @loke @lunch Where can I find the source code for your project? It seems really cool.

Mauve 👁💜

@Azure @alcinnz @loke @lunch I love that! Yeah one thing I've been thinking about too is instead of HTML rendering, the browser could parse out the semantic components and let the user bring their own component sets to represent the data.

Defs more useful for content based pages than apps, but I think there could be paths between those worlds.

Also a reason I've been more curious about stuff lately.

@queenslight Yeah that makes sense. I mostly use Matrix so I can have all my chat apps bridged to it and don't need to switch as much to get information.

I have private spaces for myself where I group stuff from slack/matrix/discord/telegram/signal so I can open them when I want to catch up on that particular area.

Going to be speaking on a panel for the 2023 #solarpunk conference! called "From Capitalist Realism to a Solarpunk Reality: Theorizing and Building the Infrastructures of a Better Future". Where we challenge the idea of what's 'realistic'. With a Q&A session after the talks!

Our talks will be building off each other's work, blending academic & activist methods, techniques, and thoughts with concrete, real-world examples. These ideas are guided by sociopolitical movements and feminist, queer, and indigenous thought.

A sneak peek into my own talk! I'll be telling a narrative story of how we can build dual power through collective action, with actionable examples mixed in that highlight steps that we can take right now - steps that might snowball into larger change.

@queenslight Ah yeah, I got a text to speech extension for Firefox. Sadly it requires internet to run and uses Google services.

I've been thinking of making one using one of the webassembly based TTS engines and have something to navigate the accessibility tree with it.

In general I think it'd be cool if the user agent exposed that stuff to people as a first class feature.

@fabrice Yesss, gotta release a new chat app each quarter, right!

@alcinnz @loke @lunch @Azure Right?! There's a whole module in CSS for exposing this stuff to users. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do It's defined right there but none of the browsers bother pulling your theme from your OS.

Mauve 👁💜

@queenslight Dang! Good to know. Hopefully matrix clients can catch up.

What's the main pain point you've had with element? I've been contemplating making a web based matrix client to simplify some of the UI to make it easier for me to navigate with a keyboard or alternative input device.
