Please don't do this.
Omitting alt text from art is like art galleries / museums removing ramps because they make it easier for thieves. Let's not exclude those who depend on them for access.
I ordered a car stereo from the Chinese site (sent from Poland because EU). Pray for my sanity.

Earlier this week I highlighted a few positive recent examples of disability representation in games.

It's really cool to see, and see it received well. It gives hope for a future without scary rickety wheelchairs in horror games, but with empowered characters with mobility aids, prosthetics, and medical devices.

Positive disability representation of recent weeks - Can I Play That?

The last few weeks have seen several games adding or featuring elements with positive disability representation.

Can I Play That?
Just found this old thing in a drawer, from early high school (mid-90's). Still works on what is most likely the original battery.
Wow, it's 2023 and my iPhone finally learned how to automatically update apps.
A UI component library telling you not to reinvent the wheel by reinventing the wheel.

Early impressions of Spoutible:
Select fields that are not <select> elements.
Labels for every form input, but not associated with them.
A mandatory gender choice instead of an optional pronouns field.
An :after psuedo element on hover for a simple background-color change.

A mix of facepalming, inaccessibility, and overcomplications.

I did immediately get 2 followers, each following 15k+ accounts, which are ridiculous amounts. Seems like the follow bots are early adopters too.

This afternoon I made a small bracket to hold the spoon for the turtle food on the side of the container.

From idea, to #3dmodel in Fusion360, to #3dprint in about an hour.

I might have slipped into my "whatever era loves pastels" era...

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.
