I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more #privacy advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

@GreyTechnician Reading the one star reviews and the five star reviews were enough for me

@antonim @reversebananimals I'm honestly not sure how Amazon thought GR was gonna make them money? I mean, if I wanna buy a Kindle book/book from Amazon, I never go to Goodreads. I just go there to look up series and books by authors and then just use my libraries to get the books. I knew even back then GR would **never** make Amazon money.

@JaymesRS Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! I just wish the books had synopsis on the pages, though. This is actually great!

@JaymesRS Thank you! I will check it out!

@Taztrophe @books You could also go to the main instance, find a book with a lot of reviews and start foowing the people with the most interesting reviews. I don’t think you can subscribe to whole instances yet

@antonim As for me, I use Bookwyrm and my libraries timeline feature in Libby.

 

Found a neat little program that will compile, split, merge, and rename chapters in fiction all with the keyboard. Some commands conflict with screen readers so I suggest not using this program for reviewing your writing, but for compiling. It was designed to be keyboard exclusive and is at least 70% accessible, with some dialogs not reading unless in browse mode. warewoolf. https://github.com/brsloan/warewoolf #OpenSource #BlindCommunity @foss

@renard_roux @foss Do you know if it can output in Shun mamuscript format with a plugin?

@rkw_social @MacroCyclo I think so as well, yes. LibreOffice is the most maintained FOS solution to Microsoft Word. Microsoft has a billion times better accessibility support, but then again, big tech is always lightyears ahead of accessibility support, sadly! Still, I hope that tide is shifting.
