I'm going to repeat this so it's clear.
If the fedi fractures around the ideological lines of safety vs. unsustainable growth, I'm okay with that.
I am very comfortable with being part of the fedi that actually gives a shit about people rather than treating them as product.
I have no interest in repeating the same mistakes and creating decentralized rage engines.
I believe this space can be better.
Help with Linux Screenreaders
For better accessibility testing of the software I build, I've started testing more with screen readers.
On Android, enabling and using TalkBack is relatively straightforward, but for testing on my desktop, Orca is completely unusable.
I have a brand new Debian VM with GNOME, and Orca enabled, but actually using it in firefox just barely works. TalkBack has a nice workflow with highlighted elements that you move between as you read the page, but Orca seems delegated to using caret browsing and reading whatever your cursor is on? Am I missing shortcuts (which are also a pain, because the modifier can only be caps-lock or insert, not really conveniently placed)
Am I missing something, or is this the state of #Accessibility on #Linux?
Also the tts quality is very poor, which would make this even worse for any prolonged testing, but maybe there are alternative engines?

this shit just doesn't work without desktop environment / gnome etc
im getting a debian gnome virtual machine 🥴
im going to try getting Orca running again...
accessibility is still fucked tho for some reason. Spoilered video's don't even get TalkBack focus, and when playing a video, it keeps constantly reading out the duration ffs
check out the new #GoToSocial video player and how it interacts with the lightbox now (work in progress, let me know)

project management / issue tracker advice
Don't try to minimize the amount of open issues in your issue tracker! Issues are *contributions* from users, telling you about problems that you were not aware of yet - they're not pests to get rid of.
Closing issues without either solving them or a good(!) reason why they won't be fixed - for *any* reason, including stalebots - will just sour people on your project. They won't tell you that; they'll just stop showing up. And the issue still won't be fixed.
Instead, treat your issue tracker like a priority queue: accept that you're never going to get to zero, accept that some issues will remain open a long time because they are not urgent, and find a good way to order the list by your criteria of importance.
Work on things as time permits, in order of importance, communicate this to users, and establish a good rhythm of bugfixes that users are happy with even if *their* specific bug isn't fixed yet.
There are a lot more useful thoughts on this topic in this article: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213

I made a pop-up card that spins as you open it!
It uses a geometric mechanism invented by an unknown student at Musashino Art University in 1988! Instructions here: http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/a-nishi/popup_spinner/z_popup_spinner.html

Baseball is a really fucking weird sport, or: Let's talk about baseballs. Like, the physical object. - pt 1
, when I talk to non-fans about baseball, one of the things that surprises them the most is that an average baseball game goes through something like 80-120 balls per game. After a ball has been used, it's either send down to be used in minor league games, used in batting practise, sold to fans, or occasionally caught by a fan directly, so it's not *entirely* wasteful, but that's still a lot, roughly 40 pounds of baseballs.
