I cherish computers, books, music, math, video games, and people.

But I cherish the last one from a distance.

Smoke-free since 2023-01-29.

Your friendly neighborhood ISPderman.

#Accessibility

The accessibility features in Wฬถiฬถnฬถdฬถoฬถwฬถsฬถ ฬตAฬถeฬถrฬถoฬถ AppleOS Liquid Glass kind of turn the interface into a fisher price visual world but eh. More see-able for sure.

Given the prevalence of color blindness and myopia, maybe it would make more sense to build the accessibility straight in...?

Me, in college, grasping mathematical and scientific concepts in an instant that takes my classmates days or weeks: "I'm really good at STEM."

Me, 20 years later, reviewing my collegiate career as interview prep: "I'm adequate at STEM, I'm GOOD at humanities. But people are really BAD at STEM."

I do consider math a language though. It's the language of objectivity, process, logic and deduction. It's like music. It's COMMUNICATION.

It's a different, say, sphere of communication, but it's communication.

So yeah, the math makes sense to me as an engineer who should have been a writer.

It seems to me that you have an artists soul. Good for you!

I think more about ease. I can type very well but don't swipe very well so I often use voice entry to reply. If you struggle with the input method, then using an alternative input method is a godsend.

I noticed the same. It's still a pretty good platform but i think I'll be looking for alternatives next year. Especially with the they've shoved half-baked AI into the platform but STILL not introduced an ASL or ESL unit

That's beautiful. Are prints available?

That part of you has not died. It's been birthed. It's a piece of your spirit gone out to grow into its own spirit.

Well, if you want the background...

Two days ago I ran my mini out of disk space.

This caused some aspect of Logi Options+ or the mouse driver to break down.

I supported the space issue, reinstalled both options + and the driver and ran the system repair. Still couldn't scroll.

So i reinstalled.

Today has been balls but I'm about to go to bed (early af) and tomorrow will be better

It doesn't make you a Karen. Interesting where our brains went though. You're thinking bad driving and I'm thinking the signal has a faulty, probably in the clicker.

You should follow me because I'm awesome, clearly. Awesomely boring.

I'm really bad at short form. ๐Ÿ˜

So there's really no reason to follow me at all. I don't have a theme.

I mean, unless you want to live in our attic, but no one sane would trade Canada for the Dysfunctional States of America
