Don't mind me, I'm just relaxing here for a while ^^

Here's a list of things that can just go the fuck away for the sake of people with reading-based disabilities:

- Obnoxiously large starting letters to texts that are very off-set. (Personally, I don't have an issue with a difference of 3-4 font sizes for people wanting to do things for style, but it has to look connected. This is just trash that makes it hard to read every line next to it.)

- We're working in an online medium, we don't need hyphens to indicate word continuation. For fuck's sake, we don't need it in a physical text unless someone's using a typewriter. There was a reason it started, and computers *don't need to do it*. It's more taxing to try to recognise the two halves as *one word*.

- Quotes of what comes later in the text. Full stop. But especially if it's creating two columns of text (try, please, I beg of everyone, to stick to ONE COLUMN for main texts, even if you change locations of where it is -- you can have two columns if our paper can be successfully folded between them to create one column for those of us who need it). It also doesn't matter if they're two different font sizes/styles/colours. It's still visually disruptive.

You can just stop doing these. It's fine. Find more legible ways of being creative that care for everyone, including disabled people.

Hey, I'll be ending my 'tracheal shave funding page' soon, so wanted to link to it one last time.

🍎🗡️🚫

If you've ever downloaded any of my free papertoys and wanted a way to say thank you, feel free to help me go from Adam's Apple to Alex's Applen't 😊

It's not life or death & I'll be just fine either way, so no pressure or stress.

Still me, sorry.

My MS is still flaring, it's improving slowly, but I'm still not really at a point where i can take care of myself properly.

I'm still struggling to cook and feed myself. I'm trying to eat a cold can of beans a day or something similar just to help fill me up. But I need to eat proper nutritious meals to help me get well, and that's beyond my very limited budget.

So I'm here again asking for help (still) I wish I didn't need to do this.

I need help to get me through this ongoing rough patch that I really hope is beginning to get better. Please help me keep going if you can.

Any boosts are super appreciated friends.

Thank you ❤️

i did it, i've made a xenia the trans linux fox winamp skin, because i wanted to

i made this primarily for me to use in webamp, but it should work just fine in winamp 2.9 (though the file picker might look weird). this also works in "qmmp", which supports winamp skins!

Hosting my #Git repos on GitHub is feeling increasingly icky because of the way Microsoft is scraping and reusing user code without consent, violating free software licenses in the process. I don't have code worth a shit hosted with them and don't care about the open GitHub Pages repo which I'm using as a quote-unquote free host of my static site. But I also have private repos of writing projects hosted with them and have no confidence at all that the privacy of this content will be respected.

So what are recommended alternatives for a use-case like mine? #Codeberg? Self-host? I don't need fancy actions or anything like that, just trustworthiness and integrity both morally and technically. I could probably self-host if it's just Mastodon- or wiki-levels of fiddly, at a much higher difficulty level (say: email hosting) I'm likely better off with an external host. An external host also has the advantage of not falling prey to my incompetence as a sysadmin, which is why I've held my nose and used GitHub all this time lol.

A client has a few MO Disks that they want to pull the data from for a time sensitive sentimental reason. I don’t have a drive that can read them. Does anyone I know here have a TMT7-9100 USB drive? There are 6 disks in total - they’d probably pay to get the data.

In what will be a surprise to no one but is still really fucking gross, those bored ape NFTs are full of nazi shit. *Full* of it.
