I know I've used vibe coded accessibility stuff, sometimes accidentally because I didn't know it was AI assisted, other times because I was curious. *sigh*
AI assisted/Vibe coded software genuinely sucks. The quality is so poor that, to me, there is no difference in AI assisted and or vibe coded software. Even my beginning baby scripts are better than software slop. The only vibe coded thing I kinda sorta liked, until I used it more and more, was SonarPad but then I began to realize that, hey, these features? Utterly useless to me, but then there were just obviously missing things I'd think of that would have been revealed in actual testing or people actually using the fucking software they code.
I soon realized I wasn't using a quarter of the features in SonarPad so I then went back to Notepad or my fork of the Accessible Markdown text editor and haven't touched SonarPad since.
The blind community is flooded with software slop, which should say a lot about the accessibility and accessible design of developer tools. If you hate software slop by blind developers, then ask developer tool creators and developer tool maintainers why doesn't their coding IDE work better with Braille and speech?
As for the tools I use...
#snac finally sends me push notifications!
Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano for testing with me :)

Floating-Point Error Handling in C++: What Actually Works https://lobste.rs/s/uw6wmo #c++ #programming

Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!
I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?
Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.
My Current Favorites:
To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:
- uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
- fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
- tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
- jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.
What about you?
- What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
- Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
- Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

Development of my personal FreeBSD installer keeps moving forward!
Lots of new ideas and features are currently in the works: the out-of-the-box GUI experience, completion of the Simple and Expert installation modes, automatic hardware detection and configuration (now also GPU support as well).
I'll be publishing a new blog post soon with more details. Stay tuned! 😄
