I will admit, playing Super Liam on the MacBook was rather weird for me, seeing that I first played the original under Windows XP. Porting across could not have been that easy. Well bloody done.

Blind, hard of hearing, one-handed hemiplegic and some would say may be a little eccentric. Happily married to the best wife a guy can ever ask for, except, she's not on Mastodon yet. All opinions expressed are, or reflect my own and does not have anything to do with my professional life. I am also a ham radio operator, using call sign ZS6DI.
Quickly doing an update for the HomePod minis I have, not waiting for software to pull it’s thumb out it’s arse.
I have had a look at the mantis Q 40, but it is fundamentally flawed in a very, very specific way. Humanware believe, all blind people use standard QWERTY, or whatever layout for their language. Not true. I, Having rather severe right side hemiparesis, use the left-handed Dvořák keyboard layout. I would believe, there are right hand Dvořák layout users as well out there. I have brought this up with humanware, but no go. It really is not that hard.
@FediTips Accessibility issue I’ve confirmed on both the Mastodon web interface and a third-party client:
Profile link verification is currently conveyed only visually, through a green color change and a checkmark. VoiceOver does not announce whether a link is verified.
This means that as a blind user, I cannot independently confirm whether my own website verification has succeeded. (1/2)
Verification status is meaningful information, and conveying it by color alone appears to violate basic accessibility principles.
Has anyone found a reliable non-visual way to determine whether a profile link is verified, or is this a gap in the current UI? (2/2)
Also, WCAG 2.2 AAA, is almost impossible, if you do not control the markup directly. I aim for WCAG 2.2 AAA for my own website. from what I know, I think I might have succeeded. If anybody wants to have a look, feel free.https://bsteenkampwrites.com
Building a WCAG 2.2 AAA compliant website, is probably a pain in the ass, if you are doing it using frameworks, etc. not so much, if you're writing the damn thing by hand. The pain in the ass, is writing the website by hand, HTML, CSS, JS and all.

This is getting interesting. My website is up, https://bsteenkampwrites.com/, but for some weird reason the verification on Mastodon is not doing its thing.
Testing Ice Cubes, it seems like it’s working okay
