As someone who's recently disabled, I've been faced with this issue myself and I'm curious what people think.

Please take a moment to vote on my poll regarding generative AI as a tool for programing with physical disabilities.

Is it acceptable to use Gen AI as a coding tool for physical disabilities? - StrawPoll

I don't want to act like I understand the whole PACE situation. So I'm going to focus on the past issue at the end of the summary Google Doc. @greensuigi.bsky.social

Exactly what I expect. While here in NL we aren't as held back (yet at this rate), @bsgmarathon.com supports the same here.

Love to our community and the LGBTQ+ community in general
Friends of GDQ, I want you to know that trans & non-binary people will ALWAYS be welcome & supported by GDQ. I am keeping a close eye on what the Federal gov't's next moves will be, and if we need to fight, we will.

We will support any efforts to protect your right to bodily autonomy. Full stop.

This AGDQ2025 was incredible. Thank you all so much for making it one of the most entertaining events we’ve had in many years!

If you are scared after the election, just remember you have friends who care about you. This isn't the end of the world.

GDQ will also be there for you, always, to provide a time of peace to give yourself a break from the bitterness of the world. We can & will continue to do good for those in need

Hey. You. Yeah, you. Did you vote yet?

What do you mean no? Get your ass to the booths and vote!

I’ll see ya there!

(And remember, even if the polls close, as long as you stay in line you’re legally allowed to vote)

Hey all the new folks! I’ll try to use this more often now that Twitter has completed its nosedive.

The state of accessibility on computers these days is abhorrent. It is unbelievable to me that in the year 2024 we still struggle with basic things like using a mouse and keyboard. I've tried windows, macOS, Google phones, linux, etc. they all struggle in different areas and it's really frustrating.

The fact that the media still refers to Twitter as "X, formerly known as Twitter" a year later makes me chortle every single time.
