So, to enable full keyboard access of applications on #MacOS you have to enable multiple settings in both #accessibility and keyboard. Oh, and there are even more settings inside of an 🛈. So disappointed. Also, the arrow key modifiers which work in text fields don't work outside of text fields. No jumping to end, or start of list.

Some of the perennial flowers in my front garden beds are bulbs that I got from one of my great aunts. Nobody knew that, but now you do.

My family has propagated a bunch of plants, some for more than 100 years. Grandma's peonys were originally her grandmother's peonys. The same lilacs, hydrangeas, raspberries, peonys and irises propagated across multiple human generations. We don't know how far back it goes for some of these, we've lost who in the family first cultivated these plants.

I have been doing the 1001-album challenge for a couple of months. (https://1001albumsgenerator.com/) Even though I thought that I listen widely I am finding that I don't have context for a lot of the music, how it fits in to the other music of the time or what it impact it had on future music. And some of it is just bad.

If your app or toolkit does screen reader detection only at startup and changes the interface for screen reader users, well, that sucks. DON'T DO THAT. #badA11y

After reading this Lettermatic blog post, https://lettermatic.com/custom/monaspace-case-study, on #Monaspace I now want to be able to use different fonts for code elements in #IntelliJ. I use Argon as my code font but would love if comments were in Radon and I might even go wild and use Krypton for keywords.

I can't imagine organizing my life around watching TV programs.

I am not saying that I don't enjoy a good video but it isn't something I would want to schedule. I trust that the videos will still be there to watch when I am sufficiently bored.

An older friend and former business adviser is having a really tough time and struggling both mentally and emotionally with his life changes. I am in no position to help much, we live thousands of kilometres apart, but I can always be available to listen. The conversations have been difficult, exhausting and preoccupied me a lot. I can't not be there for him; he is where I am headed. I like to think I will be able to accept my reality better when faced with changes, but of course none us of can.

In case you haven't noticed, calendar appointment interoperability doesn't work very well outside of the origin ecosystem in 2026. Interoperability was much better back in 2009. This sucks, but more importantly the use of "suck" as ecosystem friction is a despicable choice. #NoIWontUseYourCalendarApp
