@voxpelli.com Got almost 30k of bookmarks. Paying for Raindrop right now and hoping it will last for a bit cause I’m so tired of moving around.

Personal news, as of June 9th I'll be freelancing full time. Most of my time will go to working on Friend in Store (friendinstore.com) and building my tiny house, but I'm open to inquiries if you need help with web or iOS development :)

This fall I’ll (hopefully) be starting architecture studies at Chalmers University in Gothenburg! šŸ

@GPJohnston They are really cool birds and I’m so happy I got to see one! I know most people just hear them.

2025-05-19

@flaki Oh wow! 🤩

@idzie Bird accents are definitely a thing! Try to see if there are any local recordings from your area.
A thing that I find annoying is that many apps doesn’t list where the bird sound is recorded which, depending on the bird, might be crucial info.

@helenclayton It’s not the only name that is confusing though. There are so many.
And I often come by people who think they can directly translate a bird name from English to Swedish which almost never works. It’s especially frustrating in translated books. šŸ˜…

@helenclayton It’s always weird to me that these are called stonechat in English. Stone in Swedish is sten and we do have a bird called stenskvƤtta but that is a wheatear, this one is called buskskvƤtta. Buske is bush in Swedish.

So every time I see someone mentioning stonechat I have to think twice. šŸ˜…

Got to share the sound too!

(FYI this ā€songā€ is what I’ve been listening to daily for the past weeks in an attempt to memorize it.)

> AI algorithms can quickly scan websites and applications for issues like missing alt text, insufficient color contrast, incorrect heading structure, missing keyboard support, and even point out potential screen reader user experience inconsistencies!

As can any good accessibility test tool. No ā€œAIā€ needed. It’s like three clicks in Polypane. And it gives me hard information, not ā€œhalucinatedā€ text that might or might not be correct.

There’s a lot that can be automated. This is not it.

@stubacon Thank you! It did!

First time seeing and hearing a wryneck today.
Been working hard for this, visiting several different spots where there might be wrynecks and today it finally paid off.
Happy! 🄰

A small bird is sitting on a thick branch inside the foliage of a pine tree, it is light grey with dark mottling and a dark band running on the side of its head which is turned slightly to the left.
