YouTube has a new (or maybe revamped) feature called community. It's different from community posts because you can allow subscribers to create posts. Reminds me somewhat of facebook groups. Try it out and let me know what you all think!

Oh, I actually love these little modals that remind you to attach files for emails. They really are a life saver!
However, I do remember telling teachers that I really did forget to attach the file (when I actually didn't do the assignment) and I guess that excuse doesn't work anymore. 😅

Yes! Blind people can solve Rubik's cubes and speed cubes. (I'm one of those!) Just add some tactile markings and anyone can solve non-visually. Paul Martz shared his book how to "Solve it! - The Only Speedsolving Guide for Blind Cubers" and his experience with blind cubing.

I love Patreon's new web dark mode and they also even changed a lot of the buttons to have darker backgrounds with light text. (Actual dark mode)
Can we just fix the create button at the bottom left? It's glaringly bright. That would be lovely! 🙏

What are you most excited about? It's reading mode for me. I need to develop the skill of repeating what it says so I can pretend to read to my son. 😉 Then again, I could connect a BT speaker.

@YouTube... can we please have an option to turn off transparency on these menus? It is REALLY hard to read not only for contrast, but when the background is moving and changing, it's distracting and disorienting. 😰

I just bought another pair of Sound Blaster Jam V2's bluetooth headphones... because I'm afraid they'll be discontinued. Lightweight, comfortable, decent sound, nice controls, USB-C... and did I say lightweight?

I'm preparing to setup my ally solos and part of that is updating the app and signing in. And SO much of the app has white text on a white background despite being in dark mode. That's so frustrating!
