Last Notes npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Hey #blind people, is there any tool for pads (you know, collaboratively editing simple text documents) that’s actually screenreader accessible? I gather that Hedgedoc and Etherpad are not accessible and at that point my list of self-hostable pad software ends. Is there anything better? npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Hey blind people, what is the recommended accessible format for distributing text-only content? So that a short text of a couple hundred words is browsable, searchable and the structure is understandable? Am I correct is assuming that a well-structured PDF with all the titles set correctly would do the trick? Or is there some secret file format that is much better suited? The document is intended to be distributed as downloadable file, not as a website. (Sighted people feel free to boost but for the love of everything please do not try to answer) npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA hey OLD PEOPLE! recommend me DAMN GOOD MUSIC from before 1980 ish that i definitely haven’t heard before! idc so much about genre but i’m not very interested in classical. any language is fine, english is great, but you do get bonus points for everything in other languages npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA wisst ihr billige ffp2 masken, die normalen in der mitte gefalteten mit ohrschlaufen, die für menschen mit eher kleinem gesicht passen? kindergröße ist definitiv zu klein, ich brauche ne erwachsenengröße, aber halt nicht so lächerlich groß wie zB die von siegmund. bonus wenn es sie in schwarz gibt. bitte keine teuren produkte oder andere formen empfehlen, ich will genau diese variante npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Es ist erstaunlich schwierig, einen höhenverstellbaren Schreibtisch zu finden, der bis auf 60 cm runtergeht und kein Mini-Kindertisch ohne Möglichzeit zum Stehen ist Ergonomie gibts mal wieder nur für den Durchschnitt npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA "Sie entscheiden, wie Sie unsere Inhalte nutzen wollen, aber Sie müssen halt schon auch so entscheiden, wie wir das wollen" https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/115/657/376/321/609/444/original/d32750a0c3640d43.png npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Ich habe so viele Fragen https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/115/548/185/412/504/135/original/4717c882930af34d.png npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Ich hab das Gefühl dass es seit ca. 5 Jahren überall heißt "momentan ist hier viel zu viel los, deswegen dauert es gerade länger" Also bei Arztpraxen, Behörden, Paketdiensten… aber es ist halt seit 5 Jahren "im Moment" und "aktuell" und "derzeit" npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Gerne auch ein bisschen mehr als nur IT, ich hab nen Hintergrund in Maschinenbau, komm mit Elektronik klar, krabbel gerne in Kabelschränke und hab (über das Anti-Stalking-Projekt) Erfahrung in der Zusammenarbeit mit Projekten aus dem Sozialbereich. Rahmenbedingungen: Komplexere IT und Serverkram nur dann, wenn auf Linux oder irgendwie auf Open Source basierend. Hamburg oder Umgebung, wenn ich häufiger physikalisch anwesend sein muss. Für coole Projekte brauch ich nicht viel Geld, aber ich nehme momentan nur noch bezahlte Aufträge an. Ehrenämter hab ich mehr als genug. Oh ja, vollständige Doku von allem, was ich mache und herausfinde, sowie auf die Anwender*innen zugeschnittene Anleitungen gibts von mir natürlich auch. Gebt mir was zu tun npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Wisst ihr was, ich nehm ab jetzt einfach die Aufträge an, die mir immer wieder mal angeboten werden. Also wenn ihr nen Freelancer braucht, der das kann, was ich kann, sagt Bescheid. Ich kann z. B. grundlegende Digitalkompetenzen oder tiefergehende Linuxkompetenzen vermitteln, ich kann Privatpersonen und kleinen Gruppen / Betrieben mit Open-Source-basierter IT helfen, zu verschiedenen Set-ups beraten und diese umsetzen. Ich bin auch gut mit Spezialfällen à la "Eigentlich bräuchten wir jemanden, der erstmal unsere Organisation, unsere Bedürfnisse und die komplett undokumentierte Technikausstattung von vor 20 Jahren versteht und uns dann sagt, wie wir unsere IT in den Griff kriegen." #Hamburg #Freelancing npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Eine Freundin von mir sucht dringend irgendwas Jobmäßiges in Richtung IT. Sie ist als LGBT-Aktivistin aus Russland geflüchtet, hat vorher 1 Jahr angewandte Informatik studiert und lernt momentan zuhause DevOps-Kram. Dafür zieht sie sich Online-Kurse rein und bringt sich bei, mit Docker, Git und Pipelines zu arbeiten. Sie hat Erfahrung mit Tech Support, Journalismus und Aktivismus. Spricht exzellentes Englisch, Deutsch ist noch bei Hallo-wie-geht-es-dir. Das Jobcenter ist nicht sehr hilfreich, Sprachkurse gibt’s gerade auch nicht. Was den Job angeht, ist sie nicht wählerisch. Ausbildung, Minijob, Vollzeit, Teilzeit. In Hamburg oder remote, umziehen kann sie nicht. Wenn jemand was weiß oder wen kennt, stelle ich gerne den Kontakt her. #GetFediHired npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/114/976/993/320/468/476/original/9712766ad1b4b023.jpg npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA In my music folder I found an album called "music for cats" which I vaguely remember was made with sounds that cats might like. My cat was climbing around my desk anyway so I turned it on and I have never seen this cat with an expression like this. He has been sitting there for 10 minutes, just listening #LittleZéphyr https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/114/976/958/518/943/674/original/9ab971cd139acc8f.jpg npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA What I expected to get when I started HRT: A beard. What I actually got: Eyebrow hair that’s long enough to get caught in my eyelashes npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA I read in a book that just being friendly with strangers makes them feel safe. And I feel that this is true. We all need that feeling of safety that comes with living in a neighbourhood, a city, a country filled with friendly people. So it’s maybe a bit cringe and maybe sometimes a bit like that old lady that sits next to you on the bus and tries to have a conversation, but maybe that old lady is on to something. Because every time I am friendly to random people, I offer them to switch seats so they can sit with their kids, or when I say hello even though I don’t know their name, or when I wave to their curious children, or when I make comments about the current situation that we’re in that they can laugh along with… Every time I do that, I get smiles and pleasantness and the people I’m talking to visibly relax. npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA There’s a man who always sits outside of a shop on my street, and I always walk past him on my way to the train station. I assume he might be the shop owner, or at least lives there, but I’m not sure. A few months ago I started nodding to him every time I walk past. This escalated to verbal greetings, then comments about the weather, and now to having actual conversations with him and his friends. I assume this is how people made social connections in the ancient times (1990 or so) but to me this is a very new skill npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA @nprofile…9q8r OH MY GOD THE PIG is the best pig i have ever seen npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA can anyone recommend a mobile app for mastodon that works for users who cannot use their hands? please no wild guesses, just tell me if you know something that works #accessibility npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA @nprofile…zccm that does not exist npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Is there a way to see which accounts I have blocked on Mastodon? I cannot for the life of me find a list in the interface, I swear there used to be one npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA "DO NOT REMOVE COVER.

I have a very basic sewing machine and my current capabilities include, uh, shortening my jeans. I have also sewed at least 1 buttonhole before. I know 2 of the like 20 stitches my machine can do I don't want to spend an awful lot of time and my budget is basically 0 but I am annoyed with clothes that just look like shit on me, so. Any advice for something that's easy to do and makes a notable difference? npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Hey autistics, here's a social skill tip for "having conversations" that reliably brings successful social interaction: Ask questions. And I don't mean "think of something smart and useful to ask". I mean ask literally anything, but it must be a question. Even just regular small talk. "It’s cold outside" - okay sure but what should anyone respond to that but "yes"? But if you ask "How do you find the cold weather?" then suddenly there is conversation. Also works to prevent flowing conversations from stopping. "Maybe it's just because everything is terrible." End of conversation. But: "Do you think this is just because everything is terrible?" gives the other person an opportunity to respond. It also makes people feel really good about talking to you and you get to learn all kinds of interesting details. Basically in short: 1- Replace statements with questions. 2- Profit npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA @nprofile…7nxw i fucking APPRECIATE YOU omg. npub1d986mhamrrkg6w3kc7jsml0j2qr7c3c3j70vawem5jkkarazu50s7lv3wk Walking QA Doesn't one of you who enjoys writing Wikipedia articles feel like writing an article about this woman?

but also i’m vegan (vegetarian by choice and no dairy because my body hates it) so anything with meat or dairy is disqualified unless the ingredient is easily replaceable. i need to figure out what my new staple foods are going to be, because it used to be "bread with stuff on it" and "pizza" and "lasagna" and "vegan schnitzel" and "cereal" and literally all of these are off the table now. so please tell me. what can i eat every single day for the rest of my life?
