Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

I mean

This is probably better suited to a kbin magazine than a lemmy community 😉

The main dev was harrassed off of the project, basically. He said he passed the source code on and it should be coming back to test flight under a different link soon, theoretically.

Thank you!

If you’re transcribing text, transcribe all of the text, including repeated names.

It’s better to have alt text in the comment than to have no alt text at all :)

I think they were clarifying whether image posts (topics that are an image) could use that, and they cannot. Only inline images can.

Ooh good callout, I wasn’t aware of that.

On that note, the developer of the iOS lemmy app mlem has said that he’s focusing on blind accessibility every step of the process during development and will be hiring accesibility consultants to make sure he gets it right.

Plus, they made it so only non-commercial accessibility apps could use the API for free. So basically, reddit is saying: you can do our job for us and fix the shit we should have fixed on our end over 8 years ago, but you can’t get paid for it.

Most blind iOS redditors were using Apollo I believe.

Thanks for this!

For me, a big thing is to not only post about the wins.

Back when I was still using facebook, I made a point of at least once a month making a post talking about my struggles, because I knew that seeing everyone else post only happy posts made me feel like everyone else had a parfect life and I was the only failure. Of course that’s not true, it’s just that they weren’t posting about the bad times.

I am agnostic. My personal point of view is that if there some sort of all-powerful being(s) and they want something other than “don’t be a jerk” out of me, I don’t care enough to put effort into impress them.

I do love learning about other people’s belief systems, though, as long as they don’t try to prostelytize to me.

because they’re just there without begging for my attention

You clearly haven’t met my mom’s cat, lmao

I kind of just want to… not be bound by gender.

I’m cis myself so I can’t really advise you too strongly, but if you’re trying to find a label for what you’re feeling, I’d suggest looking into nonbinary, agender, and/or genderqueer identities and seeing if any of them resonate with you.

Good luck <3

even transgender friends have told me I don’t sound transgender

It’s important to note that all trans people are different and have different experiences, so just because your experience doesn’t line up with that of other trans folks doesn’t mean you’re any less trans than they are (if you identify as such).

Your feelings are valid and I hope you are doing well, all things considered.

There is huge value in discussing your feelings with those who are going through the same things as you, or who have gone through it in the past. I hope you do consider coming to !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org and chatting there if you are comfortable with it. And, for what it’s worth, even if you never plan to come out publicly, you are still valid as whatever gender (or lack thereof) that you identify as, and you deserve to feel supported and loved.

Not fantastic tbh. Ran into a rather jarring trigger of my biggest phobia at work today and am still feeling a bit shaky. Hopefully will be a bit more stable for the rest of the day.
