as of 1/19/2023, it appears Twitter is officially banning all third party applications. Once they stop working, I won't be around much. [email protected]

@openrouter Hi. I wonder if you could check a11y of your credits page? I use a screen reader. When I look at the page, my screen reader reads my available credit balance as 9876543210. Um, clearly no! This is an a11y issue. Visually, it shows I have $8 and some odd
cents

I want to thank @CCraneRadio for great customer service! I ordered the incorrect replacement power cable for my radio. I explained the issue and they are sending the correct part at no charge. They're not even asking me to return the incorrect part. Again, awesome service!

@amber122185 @wesderby Congrats on joining mastodon! I am [email protected] there.

Hey @woot! This really sucks! I was fast enough to add a Bag of Crap to my cart, got to the I Want One! Amazon Checkout page, and then your server errored out. Fail man! I mean What the crap Woot? What the crap! I've been trying to get one of these for years! ...

@walkside3 Thanks. Too bad, because the UI is actually almost usable except for that. But one of the things I used to like to do is read articles from my computer. Having to navigate with the virtual cursor to find the link, just totally kills the flow.

Does anyone know if there is a keyboard command in the Twitter web UI to open URLs linked in a tweet?

Hi @grubhub_care, There is a relatively serious a11y issue with the iOS app. As a blind user of Voiceover, I'm finding that the control to sign in with Google is not accessible. just got a new phone and can't sign in. Guess I'll
be using another service until this is resolved.

@1x10alamenos8 No, I didn’t buy it yet. Decided to hold onto my old phone for one more month, at least until WWDC. If they don’t come out with a new small phone I like this year, then I’ll buy the SE.

Has anyone heard of this company called Reebelo? I'm shopping for a good deal on a refurbished iPhone SE 2022 and this company turned up in my searches. It seems they've been around a while and they get good reviews, but I know nothing about them: https://t.co/wDm6tW1QVs

@grubhub It's a first world problem but I had time in my day slotted for a late lunch. Now I'll need to eat later. Not sure who dropped the ball in terms of communication but to just cancel the order without offering me options was not acceptible.

[Al Puzzuoli @alpuzz]

@grubhub I mean, it's Chipotle and i'm ordering a burrito! What could they possibly be out of that they couldn't have replaced? They never contacted me to ask if I wanted a replacement, just canceled the order. I'm getting a refund but I'll never get back those wasted 40 minutes.

[Al Puzzuoli @alpuzz]

Hi @GrubHub just wanted to share a bad customer service experience. About an hour ago, placed an order at Chipotle for a burrito. After about 40 minutes, got a notification that my order had been canceled because the restaurant was out of an item. TBC

Just noticed a very annoying issue in Windows 11 and Notepad. There is either no more title bar, or screen readers are no longer detecting the title bar. Anyone else seeing this? Can no longer tell which document I'm in if several are open.

For any Voiceover users interested in Chess, check out the Chess studio app. I just bought this. $2.99 and so far, well worth the price. Tons of functionality, and VoiceOver/Accessibility is specifically listed as a feature. https://t.co/v0I5niv1cF

@amy0223 Amazing how far OCR has come. I remember my first HP Scanjet 2c. That thing was a tank!

[Al Puzzuoli @alpuzz]

So just out of curiosity, how accessible/usable is the official Twitter app for Mac?

So, just had my screen reader’s AI describe a chipmunk as a goldfish in a fishtank…

This is why folks should still be manually describing the images they post… #a11y

I’ve been testing this and it’s pretty cool. You can make calls and get iMessage/SMS notifications from your iPhone and reply to them from your PC. The bad part is all Apple’s locked down APIs. This works because of Bluetooth profiles allowing notifications. Can’t sync messages.

@_aaronbnb @nilClassError Exactly. From an IT perspective, I believe mastering the command line has given me a definite edge in productivity. Case in point, Exchange server administration. It takes forever to get anything done in The Admin GUI whereas with PowerShell, most tasks take seconds.

Hi @sonos, it has been possible to add streaming radio stations via their URL and listen to them on Sonos speakers via TuneIn as referenced here: https://t.co/p0gHV0hQ46 But unless I'm missing something, this is not supported on the 'New' TuneIn" app? how do we do this now?b
