So there's this TGSpeechbox thing which is developed by a person from Hungary, or at least as a hungarian, the name sounds like someone among us. I just don't really get why it doesn't sound right in hungarian at all when it's being developed by a native. Does anyone at least know how to tweak this thing so I could tweak it to sound right? I studied linguistics for a long time but it was mainly Russian linguistics and not at the level of an expert, so all the alveolar and other things sound chinese to me 😂

For screen reader users, text-based multiplayer games (MUDs) are often easier to access than graphical games.

So why can playing one from a web browser feel harder instead of easier?

Brandon Cross (aka bscross) explains it all in this interview:

I guess I'm probably the only user of my WhatsApp Accessibility Fixes Greasemonkey script - the rest of you are probably using the desktop app with screen reader add-ons now :) - but in case it's of interest to anyone, I just updated the script to strip phone numbers from the labels of messages from unknown contacts. https://github.com/jcsteh/axSGrease/raw/master/WhatsAppA11yFixes.user.js

Examples that Danish is the most confusing language for English speakers:

In Denmark, when washing machines are done, their displays write, "Slut!", which means "Finished".

When someone enters an elevator, the display changes to "I fart", which means "On the move".

Tourists have difficulty finding a nice WC, because the signs often say "Bad toilet", meaning "Bathroom and toilet".

In lobbies with multiple elevators, one sign may say, "Gods elevator", which means "Freight elevator".

@menelion And exactly because of this "beautiful" song half of the countries don't even want to participate. Congrats I guess.

If your app or OS requires a toggle to be turned on for a screen reader to even *access* your UI, you're so, so not helping. We already have to know about the screen reader, we shouldn't have to check an assistive technologies checkbox or a VoiceOver checkbox or a screen reader mode command or, even fucking better, a Braille support command.

Instead, how about get rid of it and default to "everyone uses a screen reader" mode. And if shit's slow with that on, think of how we fucking feel.

@jane_jordan All I find about it is some mastodon client called Thrive, so I don't think it's that popular if it's really a messenger. I have a feeling it's a blindy corner like elten.

@dragonwolfsp Because many people just can't speak properly. I have a few friends who record 20 minutes long voice recordings because they can't put their thoughts into words. And that's awful. I also like writing more because I fully know that people don't like listening to my voice recordings either, just like I hate listening to theirs. Except for very close friends and family, of course.

@ginsenshi I've been always wondering, why isn't it easier to use yt-dlp directly? You don't even have to update the GUI for it. It just, works. Without any fancy features. Without any super duper stuff. It downloads videos and songs and converts them to whatever format you want.
