Kinda wish I could set the Orca Modifier button to something more convenient for my strange keyboard setups. Middle mouse button would be ideal tbh.

And of course on a SiliconGraphics workstation there's also a 3D gopher client: GopherVR

Really not a fan of how many web pages have all their navigation BS at the start of their accessibility tree. The main content should be front and centre rather than sidebars.

Found it from this blog post on using orca headless on a raspberry pi. I want to get rid of screens eventually so it's quite relevant for me.

Stumbled across this neat tool for folks to use webcams as a sort of sonar using stereo audio. (warning can be loud)

people becoming interested in decentralized autonomous governance but somehow missing 200 years of anarchist theory and arriving instead at fake computer money is galaxy level political illiteracy

20. These "power gloves" are cool for doing gestures and game controller input. Kinda too pricy for my taste, though

If the thing you depend on costs a lot of money to operate, and got a lot of "investment" (loans) to get it in everyone's face, it will inevitably screw you over once the true owners want to bleed it dry for cash. The alternatives might not be as "popular", but they're the only option to escape the cycle.

It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.

So systemd-brained I have no idea how to debug runit on termux to see why my script isn't running 😰

animals enjoy my company, and I'm never without wheat. here, take some. *I hand you a scoop of grain from my apron pocket* there you are—but remember, nothing in life is free. you owe me something in return. I would like a binary-compatible drop-in replacement for libncurses written in rust. no worries, I can wait. you can write it through the winter, subsisting on the debt I have just loaned you. they call this leverage, in the finance world.
