Bruh!

To nail to you for sinnin'
They throw stones so that your towel gets thrown in
But you let them see you'll forever be sown in" - De La Soul "Sunny Storms"

Commenting on a post that talks bout how Tailwind is problematic for Devs with dyslexia or ADHD with...

"Many applications I’ve worked in use tailwind effectively, and the code seems highly readable to me. I don’t see the issue here."

The squirrels and chipmunks were having a meeting in the backyard discussing this year's acorn inventory. Then the hawk swooped down. Alvin didn't make it.

Who here uses manual configuration profiles in NVDA? What do you use them for?

And if you're not sure what configuration profiles are all about, check out the recent In-Process blog, which covered them: www.nvaccess.org/post/in-proc...

if you haven't seen this new video you actually do owe it to yourself to have the time of your life with a one-of-kind developer video.

You've never seen something like this!

You probably don’t need `aria-label` for that thing.

It doesn’t auto-translate:

It’s code smell:

You can probably use better methods:

This is a lovely color tool: colorpalette.pro

…and also a reminder of the era—not that long ago!—when most software looked something like this. It was beautiful to behold and lovely to use. This was taken from us for entirely dubious reasons, but driven people like Ryan can still do it.
