I am a blind technologist, humanist, a voracious devourer of books, speaker, writer, and a thinker, who finds himself championing #accessibility for fun and necessity. I'm currently exploring the complex world of AR and VR worlds to find best ways to achieve full accessibility for disabled people.

Oh and give me your fun book recommendations: be it nonfiction, science fiction and fantasy, romance, mystery, and more.

The good thing about a new laptop after having used 1 for nearly 10 years, it feels absolutely fantastic. The bad thing about a new laptop after nearly ten years is that I have all this crud on the old laptop that I need to either decide to transfer over or do something else with. It will probably take me a long time to get the new one up to where this one was functioning.

This should be the provinance of a working FTC and not a so-called voluntary pledge.

Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, Adobe, and Match sign a voluntary pledge to share threat intelligence on scammers abusing their services.

This somehow seems false. Either this is wrong or their Windows 12 plans (as reported) are false.

Microsoft sidelined some Copilot-branded AI features on Windows 11 after the Recall delay, and shipped some promised features without the Copilot name.

We're talking about sports betting here.

"Practically overnight, we took an ancient vice—long regarded as soul-rotting and civilizationally ruinous—put it on everyone’s phone, and made it as normal and frictionless as checking the weather. What could possibly go wrong?" —McKay Coppins for The Atlantic

Sooooooooo. Socialism anyone? DoD told Anthropic it will invoke the Defense Production Act or label Anthropic a "supply chain risk", if not given unfettered Claude access by Friday. https://www.axios.com/2026/02/24/anthropic-pentagon-claude-hegseth-dario

@tspivey@dragonscave.space I'm working on an add-on for NVDA that provides advanced terminal/console support. While I won't be using your TDSR code directly, some of the features will resemble what's available in TDSR. I'd like to ask for your permission to do this. My license will be GPL 3. And there will be lots of attribution/thanks.
