I am just finishing up my latest Linux tutorial video. I spent the entire day working on it.

I am getting better at editing. My biggest goal of this video is to remove the "ums" and silent pauses. I am eternally greatful for Kdenlive. The more I learn to use it, the more I enjoy it. It is very accessible. I have a lot more respect for professional video editors. You can spend many hours getting it perfect.

One thing I am trying to remember as I continue this journey is from Hank Green, who popularized the 80% rule. Basically, perfect should not be the enemy of good. It might not be perfect by an "ai's" standards, but it is 100% human made and that is what counts. With that said, I learn something every time I make a video and I believe they are getting better.

I really hope you all enjoy my next video! It should be up tomorrow morning around 10:00 am EST (-5:00 GMT). Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! Also, if you missed my last video, I took a look at elementaryOS 8.1:

As a blind, autistic, chronically ill person learning to program, Perplexity has been an absolute game-changer for me! 🙌

Its AI-powered search provides clear, concise answers that are easy for me to process. The accessibility-friendly format works great with my screen reader. And being able to ask follow-up questions helps me dive deeper into coding concepts at my own pace.

But it's not just for coding! Perplexity is also helping me write clearer posts and emails. It ensures my thoughts are organized and expressed effectively, which is a huge help with my communication challenges.

Perplexity adapts to my unique needs, making learning and communicating so much more accessible and enjoyable. It's become an invaluable tool in my daily life and programming journey.

Image description: a blurb from the linked article where the author writes, “ Apple’s release of The Greatest is notable for more reasons than one. Consider recent events in the tech sphere that affect the disability community. Over the weekend, Post co-founder Noam Bardin, whose still-in-beta Twitter alternative is moving fast, incensed disabled people and their advocates by announcing in a post that accessibility isn’t something “we are working on” for the foreseeable future because it’s viewed internally as a lower priority than, as Bardin paradoxically wrote, “getting everyone in.” His astounding show of cognitive dissonance comes on the heels of Elon Musk firing the entirety of Twitter’s accessibility team early this month, leaving many Twitter users with disabilities (myself included!) feeling incredibly uneasy over the service’s accessibility to them in the long term.”
