  • Whoa, not good. Looks like more online accounts may get hacked from phishing with this increase of spam emails slipping through. I know a Youtuber that very recently got their Youtube account hacked & stolen from a phishing email sent to their Gmail. Luckily they got their account back, but I believe it was due to the help of their friends & audience on Youtube, as they were told by Google that most people who get their channel stolen like that don’t get it back. I’m glad I use Proton Mail for my main email account. Its spam filter is robust.




  • Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s hard to work when tired and I totally understand wanting to include the hair description if you thought it could be contextually relevant, and since you found out it’s not, taking it out is the right choice. I’m not at all experienced in transcription for the blind so when I made my suggestion of clumpy afro-textured hair, at first I thought the point of the transcription was to be as detailed as possible while also being brief, so I thought the hair description had to stay in in some form. But now I see only contextually relevant info is needed. Good to know. We’ve both learned something in this, yeah? Thanks again for the work you do and being open to suggestions. You’re awesome! 🙂


  • I tried the official app soon after it’s initial release and didn’t like it. Tried again the other day and it was even worse than I remember. It was ugly and slow scrolling on my phone. I deleted it right away. I don’t mind using the reddit desktop site, if I go back for my niche communities until they make it to the Fediverse, but I’m no longer using reddit on mobile if I can’t use my favorite 3rd-party app. Reddit even made it’s mobile website annoying to use, trying push people to its app. I absolutely hate when sites do that.







  • so that he comes across as crazier

    Are you sure this is the reason? Did he state his reason that way? Or is that your assumption that he wants to look crazier? In a post above @[email protected] said his reason was because brushing it takes too much time according to interviews. I haven’t seen it myself since there’s no timestamp, but I’ll check it out later.

    so what’s the blind user of this program going to attach to the concept of unkempt hair?

    The problem isn’t with blind users, but sighted users who could read that and associate afro-textured hair like that with being unkempt.

    Edit: Found the timestamp in the Eric Andre interview with Larry King about his hair. Here he doesn’t say he wants to look crazier. He says that’s what his hair looks like when he doesn’t brush it. And as I mentioned in another comment, afro-textured hair isn’t meant to be either combed or brushed every day because that can cause breakage.

    Edit 2: Corrected his Eric Adams to Eric Andre. Woops.
