The thing is, you need to make proper PDFs with properly structured content with proper metadata for screen readers to be able to access the content in the PDF in a logical and sane way. This is what the OP is tasked to do, and why they are looking for help. So I’m not sure what you mean by “try just using screen readers.”

I’m dealing with this right now too.

My advise is to ditch the PDFs where possible, and go with HTML documents. They are far easier to make accessible. The down side is you can’t easily pass them around in a self contained way that isn’t a bit wonky compared to a PDF or DOCX. But if you just link to them in a course, or otherwise expect students to just access them in a browser, HTML pages can work well.

PDFs have always been a nightmare, and the new accessibility rules are making thousands of people in education finally realize that.

lol, you’re right.

Look into it, it’s pretty good.

And Apple updated hundreds of millions of devices to it from an old file system without losing any data. Imagine Microsoft pulling off such a migration. It was silently done in the background with a normal OS update. Really impressive.

Every person using a computer should know what their filesystem is and what database they are using. Otherwise they are fools.

Can you believe kids don’t know what NTFS or APFS are these days?! Stupid iPad babies.

Is there a machine that looks like this? Complete with glowing curved top?

Indoctrination.

Whoa, this looks awesome. Great job on the UI.

You really need to elaborate on the nature of the scam.

I’ve seen some people reject this solution due to the anime.

That might be one of the most visible issues I consistently run across. It’s really obnoxious.

Yup, that’s some random ass memory.

The media world huh?

I was in a situation where I saw tv commercials for the first time in years. And I saw one for life360, and it was so unhinged. Something about a mother going on and on about how her child would die, and the solution was this app.

People really abuse that new and very useful word. It diminishes the usefulness.

Legasea

That last bit looks like something you should send off to a place like 404 media.

Lame. I’ve used this feature a lot. It feels like such a basic thing to include.

SharePlay is a standard feature in Apple devices, and it handles it. But only in supported apps.

The pandemic showed how nice such a feature can be for a lot of people.

People underestimate how more RAM can be more power usage.

I guess when I complain, I’m not really talking about hosting at all. I’m talking about things being written in stuff like python, with web UIs instead of native software.

I miss native software. And native software could be placed on a server. I prefer to run a Mac Mini for my home server, because I can use as many native apps as possible. Along with the all the other web-interface-based scripts and things.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Anyway. As someone else pointed out, it’s strange for me to be posting these lamentations in this community. I don’t mean to throw shade or talk shit.

So I’ll leave it there.
