Sometimes the simple things are the best. Tonight's dinner was gnocchi filled with spinach and mozzarella baked in a quick and dirty tomato sauce with basil and oregano, and some fat little chorizo sausages on the side. 😋

If anyone using iOS 2026 with VoiceOver has discovered how to use the call screening feature, I'd be glad of any tips.

I mean in terms of how to accept/refuse screened calls, not how to turn it on. Thanks 🙏

Huge thanks to @foo__ for helping me with a little CSS magic that means I can now indicate when posts on my blog have been updated 🥳

If anyone with knowledge of Sass has time, I could use some styling help with a minor change to my website that doesn't look quite right.

Change adds an "Edited" notation to posts that have been updated, but the text looks weird (or so I'm told).

Website uses Eleventy with Nunjucks templating, in case that's useful info.

Happy to pay for time.

Looking for RSS feed recommendations. Topics of interest include tech (generally), web, accessibility, web standards, AI, and food/cooking. Thanks 😊

When the sound of thunder, and the rain on the roof above my head, means I can no longer hear my screen reader... BRB.

Earlier this year, someone bought me some gorgeous bath bombs from Lush, and having decided to by myself some more, I've discovered that in January they renamed three of their bath bombs to "Diversity", "Equity", and "Inclusion", in protest against Trump's Executive Order.

Someone has just made my day by calling me "one of the accessibility OG" 😂

Is it me, or is DuckDuckGo increasingly returning nothing but YouTube/Tick Tocks in its search results these days?

With thanks to several people on Masto, my personal email (with custom domain), contacts, calendar, and file storage have all been moved from Google Workspace to Mailbox.org, and the monthly cost has consequently dropped by about 50% 🥳

Hello @mailbox_org, I'm unable to connect my Mailbox drive to Windows. I've tried everything on this help page, using a browser, Windows GUI and the command line.
https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/drive-article/webdav-for-windows/

It authenticates OK, but then returns nothing. Browser message is "There's nothing here", Windows and CL variations on "cannot find location".

Unable to open support ticket, possibly because it's a trial account. Hope you can help? Thank you.

The worst part about a visit to the Dentist for treatment is the amount of time afterwards where it isn't possible to drink tea.

Slow hand clap for #Linkedin who've locked me out of my account until I can prove who I am, except I can't because their third party face recog provider is unusable if you can't look directly at the camera - and all because I changed my password and disabled a bunch more of the personal data leaching settings I found when I went looking.

It's been a while since I wrote any purposeful code, so I'm feeling good about having written a private Alexa skill that opens the gate onto our drive automatically, so I don't have to send an SMS from my phone.

Marking 80 years since the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I remember visiting the Peace Museum in Hiroshima and hearing the voices of survivors and the families of those who did not.

I remember the mark burned into steps where someone was sitting when the bomb exploded, the items of clothing left behind, and the photos of such terrible destruction.

I will never forget the helpless rage I felt, caused by people two generations and a continent away from me.
