on Commuter Rainjacket · c/buyitforlife · 1 pts · 1y

Have you considered a rain cloak? The rain cloak (and shelter) by Onewind is amazing! I wear it as everyday rain gear instead of a rain jacket. The hood is spacious and adjustable. The cloak drapes over backpacks, shopping bags, and even children. I have yet to use it as a shelter or while biking, but here is a review from a cyclist:

It began to rain as I rode my bicycle down a local gravel road. I put on the rain cape, pulled the hood over my helmet, and threw the front of the cape over my handle bars. I stayed magically dry. Can't wait to sleep in the shelter; what a system!

"Queen" by itself refers to either women or gay men. It is not gender neutral. "Drama queen" is applied to all genders, but, again, this example is pejorative toward women. Do you have any examples of women-centric language that can refer to all genders, but that is not negative toward women?

on Linux Distro Accessibility · c/main · 1 pts · 2y

Thank you! I previously read that Debian was difficult for beginners, but often favored by seasoned Linux users. What makes Debian a good choice for accessibility?

It is hard for me to imagine an accessibility panel that would speak in favor of overlays. The only message that I have heard at conferences has been about the inaccessibility of overlays. Also, I appreciate learning a new word today: manel. The questions that this panel was set to discuss reveal a heavy bias indeed!

  1. Can overlay tools help to improve the Accessibility of Websites?
  2. Where can it be helpful and where are the borders of such tools?
  3. Who is the target group and for which community it can be helpful to use these tools?
