#URL to PDF

[dailycupofcreativitea]

I made this whole bioinformatics workshop for some students and gave them an hour to do it. So many of them were stuck on "paste URL" for over 15 minutes...

[accessibleaesthetics]

Just wanted to share here my personal pet peeve of people using the Alt Text function for stuff like authors notes instead of actually describing their images

Oh, defintely with you there. Though I think its usually one of two things

The person genuinely did not know the alt text was for

The person was that one specific person I met on Tumblr once who was losing their vision but still actively preferred to use the alt text as commentary for their own art for personal reasons

I have sympathy for both of these types of people. I think the most helpful thing we can do is spread awareness of what the alt text is for and who it helps.

Also for the love of all that's good, please don't put the source URL of the image in alt text. Yes, I have seen that. Multiple times. One of them wasn't even on Tumblr, so literally only screen reader users would even have access to it. But do what with it have no idea....you can't copy/paste from alt text on a normal website.

[sanguinaryrot]

im thinking of putting together some more editions of Welcome to the Family: A Pocket Resource zines but would want to prioritize firsthand experiences when putting together something like that so on the offchance someone is looking to collab on a really small project to make a small (5-10ish) list of resources (books, websites, zines, etc) for newly out of the closet queer folks hit me up

[fingertipsmp3]

I'm so sorry but, up until just now, I thought your url was "fingertip" + "SMP" (as in survival multi-player. ....Like, the minecraft servers) + "3" (because apparently fingertipSMP, fingertipSMP1, and fingertipSMP2 were already taken.)

I love this ngl

This is your daily reminder to archive your favorite fandom stuff!!!

I've been a voracious archivist/data hoarder ever since I first got access to a computer, and it's paid off more times than I can count. Just the other day I came across a PDF copy of an analysis post for one of my fandoms. The post was made on an old forum and is the most detailed and interesting analysis of a particular story element I've ever seen. Back in like 2012 I saved the post as a PDF, because even then I saved everything I liked.

Anyway, flash forward to 2025 and I decided to see if the URL included in the document was still live. I wasn't very surprised to see that the forum is long dead. However, even the Wayback Machine had no record of this thread. If I hadn't saved a copy of it way back when, I would have never, ever been able to read this analysis again!

The Internet Archive is sadly not infallible, especially when it comes to things like forum threads. You can do your part by manually saving things to the Wayback Machine, but I also recommend keeping your own archives. Aside from just saving pages as PDFs, I highly recommend a browser extension called SingleFile that lets you archive pages as HTML files.

Turn Anything Into eBook Or Flipbook with Ink AI!

Turn Anything Into an eBook Or Flipbook with Ink AI! The world of publishing has come a long way since the days of hand-written manuscripts and printing presses. In today’s digital age, there are a plethora of options available for creating and distributing content, from blogs and social media posts to e-books and whitepapers. However, the process of creating high-quality content can be…

[rivkae-winters]

Edit: the app launched and Is down- I have the initial apology video in a post here and I’m working on getting a full archive of their TikTok up ASAP. I’m letting the rest of this post remain since I do still stand by most of it and also don’t like altering things already in circulation.

Warning for criticism and what I’d consider some harsh to outright mean words:

So I’ve just been made aware of the project known of as ‘lore.fm’ and I’m not a fan for multiple reasons. For one this ‘accessibility’ tool complicates the process of essentially just using a screen reader (something native to all I phones specifically because this is a proposed IOS app) in utterly needless and inaccessible ways. From what I have been seeing on Reddit they have been shielding themselves (or fans of the project have been defending them) with this claim of being an accessibility tool as well to which is infuriating for so many reasons.

I plan to make a longer post explaining why this is a terrible idea later but I’ll keep it short for tonight with my main three criticisms and a few extras:

1. Your service requires people to copy a url for a fic then open your app then paste it into your app and click a button then wait for your audio to be prepared to use. This is needlessly complicating a process that exists on IOS already and can be done IN BROWSER using an overlay that you can fully control the placement of.

2. This is potentially killing your own fandom if it catches on with the proposed target market of xreader smut enjoyers because of only needing the link as mentioned above. You don’t have to open a fic to get a link this the author may potentially not even get any hits much less any other feedback. At least when you download a pdf you leave a hit: the download button is on the page with the fic for a reason. Fandom is a self sustaining eco system and many authors get discouraged and post less/even stop writing all together if they get low interaction.

3. Maybe we shouldn’t put something marketed as turning smut fanfic into audio books on the IOS App Store right now. Maybe with KOSA that’s a bad idea? Just maybe? Sarcasm aside we could see fan fiction be under even more legal threat if minors use this to listen to the content we know they all consume via sites like ao3 (even if we ask them not to) and are caught with it. Auditory content has historically been considered much more obscene/inappropriate than written content: this is a recipe for a disaster and more internet regulations we are trying to avoid.

I also have many issues with the fact that this is obviously redistributing fanfiction (thus violating the copyright we hold over our words and our plots) and removing control the author should have over their content and digital footprint. Then there is the fact that even though the creator on TikTok SAYS you can email to have your fic ‘excluded’ based on the way the demo works (pasting a link) I’m gonna assume that’s just to cover her ass/is utter bullshit. I know that’s harsh but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s probably a duck.

I am all for women in stem- I’ve BEEN a woman in Stem- but this is not a cool girl boss moment. This is someone naive enough to think this will go over well at best or many other things (security risks especially) at worst.

In conclusion for tonight: I hope this person is a troll but there is enough hype and enough paid for web domains that I don’t think that’s the case. There are a litany of reasons every fanfic reader and writer should be against something like this existing and I’ll outline them all in several other posts later.

Do not email their opt out email address there is no saying what is actually happening with that data and it is simply not worth the risks it could bring up. I hate treating seemingly well meaning people like potential cyber criminals but I’ve seen enough shit by now that it’s better to be safe than sorry. You’re much safer just locking all your fics to account only. I haven’t yet but I may in the future if that is the only option.

If anyone wants a screen reader tutorial and a walk through of my free favorites as well as the native IOS screen reader I can post that later as well. Sorry for the heavy content I know it’s not my normal fare.
