A little context on this post - I've been collecting and cleaning the Australian public record (Hansard) for a little while and have been implementing knowledge bases recently and thought it was worth while smashing it all together into a single resource.

The intent is to collect, label and summarize as much publically available data related to Australian politics and provide useful lenses with which to view the evidence, rather than opinion or cherry picked data.

Would love any feedback/points into directions of data that we could ingest!

I did a bit more reading and noticed in the WebAIM stats that Narrator usage is indeed on the rise. Given that it is included in the OS, I would hope that it ends up as the defacto standard in much the same way as VoiceOver is for macOS.

Really interesting to hear some of the technical details from someone that worked on it - thank you!

I completely agree with you. At the very least it could be a feature you opt in to. Would help a ton with the issue of fragmentation as well.

What exactly are you doing?

A lot of high school kids, some in Australia were in the top warez groups back in the day.

Very few people with full time jobs had the time to be super active in the 'scene'. It was almost entirely highschool and college students.

The drivers are just a stopgap until most Uber rides are self driving cars.

They're all screwed in the end anyway.

They also have slow.com... speedtest.net might be dead.

The entire userbase doesn't matter that much. The majority of reddit users don't contribute any decent content.

Keeping the minority of users that are actually producing content happy is what they have failed to do and is the real risk - if there's nothing to look at, the rest of the userbase will follow the content somewhere else.

The outcry was over a female employee being fired. The pattern you're seeing is more likely than not sheer coincidence.

I'm not airing anything except I think her article was bitter - you can read into that until the cows come home.

Personally I don't feel that airing someones dirty laundry on a huge website is an appropriate venue. Isn't this exactly what support groups like AlAnon and therapy aim to address in a more delicate manner?
