#accessible settings

[hunter-rodrigez]

Accessibility tip:

If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead

They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense

They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)

Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers

The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come

You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home

Models for outdoors exist as well

#accessibility #automation #tech #a set like the one pictured above usually costs around $20-$30 #I got like 7 of these bad boys and 3 remotes #I can control basically everything in my room with these remotes #I got one remote on my office chair one on my nightstand and one by my door #this always makes me feel a bit like I am in Arnold's room from Hey Arnold!

people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.

#red said #also there are posts and tweets like THIS IS JUST FOR MCU FANS #like please go on demonstrating how you've adopted 'mcu fan' as a shorthand for 'person who likes films i don't' #or 'person who likes films that are popular' #because the defining features of mcu films are that they're high budget irony poisoned derivative works #targeted at a broad audience so aiming to be accessible and inoffensive #and it really seems. like 'accessible' is the part of that you object to #bc EEAAO is a highly original A24 indie film with a 14.5m budget which is NOTHING #it's made mostly with practical effects and sets #and most importantly it's beautifully painfully earnest. it's never trying to shy away or go Hey Look How Silly This Is 😏 #everything is driven by its earnest desire to talk about specific themes #i think the people comparing it negatively to mcu films are stuck on the fact that it's about a multiverse and it's got jokes #and colourful action scenes #but they miss that the referential jokes (like racacoonie) and setpieces aren't the point of the film

For the Laicion nation (aka, me and three other people)

I had this illustration commissioned (a big thank you to @lunehowls) for my werewolf AU Laicion fic (still a WIP).

The general pitch is as follows :

AU in which Laios never got to meet his sister again, putting his life on a whole other path, a more desperate one. A military deserter with barely a coin to his name, Laios hitches a ride on a boat to one of the elven continents, where he learns about magical tattoos that binds one’s soul to a wolf’s, effectively making them artificial werewolves. Illegal magic be damned, this feels like the answer to… everything.

In the process, he learns about the existence of an illegal fighting ring in one of the elven cities, where beastmen gladiators gather. Freshly tattooed and without anywhere else to go to, Laios decides to head there, where he meets Lycion, an elf and artificial werewolf gladiator. If they first bond over a simple shared meal, by spending time together (sharing the same room in the barracks, maybe the same bed? gasp) they find that they have a lot in common, notably a shared distaste for the body they were born in, a dysphoria partially remedied by becoming a werewolf.

They bond :)

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #lycion #laicion #I'm heads deep in research regarding Ancient Rome gladiators... and loving it. Really fascinating stuff. #I bemoan the fact that most papers are locked behind a paywall (though I found one that gives a free pdf access) #(and no. Sci-hub is not an option. It's blocked in my country) #I'm also re-reading DunMeshi and taking notes to get a better grasp of Laios and Lycion as characters. Character studies if you will #and I still need to fully outline the fic #I know where I'm starting (struggling to choose a POV for that first chapter LOL) and where I'm ending so there's that #and a bunch of disconnected scenes (as we all do ahaha) #anyway. Doing all of this while studying for veterinary school. It's hard. I feel guilty whenever I'm not studying... #let's just say I don't expect the prep work for the fic to be ready before this summer (+ I need to finish the Kuro cosplay for Japan Expo) #hopefully; once it's done; I'll be able to set a schedule and write smoothly #werewolf #werewolf laios #rarepair #Fy posts

Okay can we just look at this for two seconds please, for July Disability Pride Month if nothing else

This is the image description box.

When you click on an image to describe it, do you know where the image description box goes?

That's right! ON TOP OF THE IMAGE, SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT.

I believe in modern science and the ability to make this window movable. Like, this is a known technological marvel, dragging windows to one side.

Could we please for the love of God have that? I can't speak for anyone else, but it would make actually using this accessibility feature a LOT easier, it's just good UI sense

Thanks to anyone receiving this voidscream

#july disability pride month #disability pride month #accessibility #always allow accessibility #we will all need it someday #tech #up too late fixing shit #i love this hellsite #but #fix it pls #thank you #also it is really really hard to find and click the buttons that are meant to be in image corners if it's a short screenshot #ie a line of text #although my own accessibility settings may have something to do with that #del's eyesight is poor #eye trauma is really personal to me ok #tia

truly videogames are such a good medium for stories where Something Is Wrong With Time... every game with a saving mechanic has a time travel function, be it acknowledged in universe or not. games can give you the option to experience pieces of story in a non-linear fashion or skip them entirely. time and timing is no longer bound to the confines of a movie's runtime or pages of a book...!

#yes of course this is inspired by isat and insertdisc5s Comics about this topic #but im currently playing the new prince of persia game and essentially Time Is Broken #you could even say SOMETHING IS ROTTING... FAILING........ #and by playing i mean im Dying; Constantly #but im actually having so much fun. i never would've gotten it if it didn't have a demo so i could see if it's playable to me at all #and it's Challenging but i Can play it AND there's a lot of settings and accessibility features!!!! #so that if it does become too hard for me i can change that and that's a big comfort to me #this game is so pretty btw.

Do the dogs in this universe enjoy things like being pet? Is scratching behind someone's ear or rubbing their belly a part of close friendships and relationships for them like back rubs and playing with hair are for humans irl?

I suspect many humans enjoy being petted too.

The displays of affection in the dogverse, platonic or romantic, aren't that different from our own. Ear scratches are a popular and common gesture, I guess if you're close enough to play with someone's hair you could also scratch behind their ears if they were a dog, you know? Then again ears are sensitive and used in communication, so maybe there's a slightly higher degree of trust required.

#I don't think they're as crazy about belly rubs as real dogs are but sure #if you have an access to someone's belly in a suitable setting and they aren't opposed to it knock yourself out #people don't really brush each other but dogs might enjoy it #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore

if there’s one trend i hope dies in the future it’s making fun of light mode users

there’s a lot of valid reasons to use it (including, y’know, just preferring it) but i personally use it because i have cataracts that make reading small light text on dark backgrounds on really difficult sometimes and it sucks being made fun of for using what is to me an accessibility aid

anyways i don’t think a lot of ppl think about it tbh. i know i certainly didn’t before i had to start primarily using light mode! so i figured it was something worth bringing up 🤷

#text #thinking about a post i saw by another vtuber who gets harassment sometimes for using light mode #for what it’s worth for me if something is like… medium? mode for a lack of better words (not blindingly white or too dim) that’s the best #also why accessibility options r soooooo damn important!!!!!! i love that i can adjust settings as i need to #and i know i will likely need to keep adjusting settings as my vision continues to get worse

Behind the Scenes of The Giggle - Part Four

Excerpt from the In-Vision commentary with David Tennant, Russell T. Davies, and Phil Collinson

[ discussing UNIT's new headquarters ] Russell: How much do you love this set? David: Oh, I love it Phil: Well I don't love it. It's the most expensive set in the world [ David & RTD laugh ] Russell: How much use are we getting out of it? Phil: ...and operate. The bills we get for footage and screen hire. Oh my word. David: Oh, right. Russell: I'm sorry, faithful viewer Phil: But it's amazing. I'm joking. I love it Russell: We are getting our use out of it. "Should we go to UNIT HQ?" they say. At the drop of a hat. David: Shall we do 30 pages in UNIT HQ? Phil: Literally. It is literally. 30 pages a series, please. Pay for itself.

With a huge "Thank you!" to everyone who shared set photos!

i guess it is a given that i am probably not an average or standard user of websites but whenever tumblr staff says something about the website being hard to use, or refusing to let us have options to turn something on/off in the menu because "it's adding bloat and too many complicated options for new users" i just get so confused. like what?

i love settings. i love little toggleable sliders. the first thing i do whenever i get any account or device is go into the options to make it exactly how i like. i spent 2 hours setting up my firefox to perfection. i have memorized and examined every tumblr feature multiple times. getting a new phone or laptop is like a fun 2 week long process of arranging settings and personalization and notifications. it baffles me that tumblr wants to REMOVE options. i love options!!

#when i got my new work laptop i tried to pin settings to the taskbar and the IT guy looked at me like i was stupid #very critically too. he was like why do you need that. folks only use that when they're poking around; you shouldnt need to ever access it #and i didnt have the heart to tell him that i just absolutely do poke around in settings a lot. also....why WOULDN'T i need to access it? #anyway who else out here likes BUTTONS! #TOGGLEABLE SWITCHES! PERSONALIZED THEMES! MATCHING YOUR WALLPAPER WITH UR CLOCK COLOR! :D

Kanade's another cut for the Twilight Light 3DMV is a direct reference to her untrained The Dream I Saw Will One Day 4* card.

Screencap source

#3dmv #project sekai #i know there's a “no reposting the another cuts” rule but 1. staff doesn't check tumblr and 2. the only reason for it is to try and keep it #“exclusive” so people are more likely to spend money to complete the set #which is bullshit and staff is getting really annoying with how obvious they want money #it's not like they need it they're the highest earning game in the genre by a mile with only 1 competitor #literally 3 or 4 games have shut down in the last year or two which i think is largely due to failing to keep up income and playerbase #in comparison. it's like the console war for idol games #anyway sorry for long winded complaint about management. i don't like how they're actively making the game less accessible to F2P players

"[In Daft Punk] We tried to use these machines to express something extremely moving that a machine cannot feel, but a human can. We were always on the side of humanity and not on the side of technology...as much as I love this character, the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot." - Thomas Bangalter, 2023.
