@NFB_voice @Target What about a response to the horrible treatment of your members at #NFB24 by @IntlUnitedMiss - we are all anxiously waiting to know what action is being taken to hold them accountable.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@zersiax @MSFTEnable In this case, the sound started playing after the IDE auto-updated. Now I have to randomize myself to figure out how to turn it off. That's a crappy CX.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

.@MSFTEnable Whoever added the progress indicator sound in VSCode that sounds sort of like a dice roll, this is probably one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard in an app. Please remove it or tell me how to disable it. #MSFTEnableFeedback

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@zersiax @MSFTEnable Sure it's low effort. Why should I have to put in a lot of effor to use a product on top of the job responsibilities I use said product for. I'm happy to do it when needed, but it's a matter of finding the time like anything else

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@zersiax @MSFTEnable That's a lot of effort to put into sound effects. Some of them are useful, sure, but IMO spending that much time indicates a prioritization problem. I'm always happy to provide feedback directly if given the opportunity to do so.

It's 2024 and inaccessibility of sessions at #CSUNATC24 is still very much a problem. Not reading and describing slide content fully, using QR codes to give out links to important info... Presenters, please do better for the blind people in your audience.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

On my way to #CSUNATC24! Who else will be there? Feel free to DM if you want to connect.

@hllf @AlaskaAir This is only a 40 minute flight from Portland to Seattle, but maybe they'll make it up to me on the flight to New York tonight.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

Hey @alaskaair what's up with the seat on this MAX9? Plane can't be more than a year old. I guess they just don't make them like they used to.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf @AlaskaAir Could be. And that stain. The person I sent it to wasn't 100% sure, but he thought it could be one.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf What does the developer strap do?

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf @kool_turk If there's anything I miss about social media, it's this. I'm mainly on Facebook these days and mostly what I see is people complaining in various groups. Had to unfollow a lot of those. And of course the updates that people do post are very much photo based.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf I know, what a crazy coincidence LOL

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf I'll confirm with them but that sounds great to me! And yes Katrina is very used to being around multiple blind people, LOL.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf Cool. And yes we have a car.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf Yup. We're pretty flexible. I think we'd probably head up there sometime in the afternoon but we have no firm plans. Could even do later in the afternoon if that works better.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf My girlfriend Katrina and I, and Kevin Andrews is here with us if you remember him? Let me know if you're around, would be cool to finally meet you in person.

[Mike Forzano @forzanom]

@hllf My dad originally recommended it since his girlfriend's family has a place here. We came here last year as well. We were actually thinking of heading up to Boca Raton tomorrow to check it out.
