Have you remediated a PDF file with Acrobat? Have you ever accidentally clicked "Autotag document" and wiped out your manual tagging?
If so, please consider voting to remove this action from the context menu.
#Acrobat #PDF

In Adobe Acrobat, the context menu when right clicking on a tag in the tags pane. The menu item named "Autotag document" is highlighted.

Remove Autotag document from right click menu in accessibility
1. Right click menu rework for tagging. 2. I work primarily in tagging documents for accessibility, and I frequently use right click action menu to create a new tag. Sometimes over 100 individual uses on a document. There have been countless times where I accidentally click "auto-tag document" instead of "New Tag". I don't believe anyone auto tags a document from this right click menu and I believe it would be good to either remove it from the menu, or create some distance from regularly used …

There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.
Fin.

Today I learned the English word "access" has been a noun for centuries, but seems to have only become commonly used as a verb in the mid-20th century with the advent of computers.

"Access" as a verb meaning to gain entry is widely accepted despite its short life (the Oxford English Dictionary’s earliest reference is 1953). Some still consider it jargony, but the alternatives can be clumsy. #words #usage #OED

A sign for the restaurant Frisch's Big Boy looms high in a cloudy sky on a pole. The sign features a smiling cartoon boy with a pompadour haircut. Halfway up the pole is a second sign that reads "Drive thru" and "Thank you Lancaster". Behind the sign is an empty parking lot and a deserted one-story brick building. The parking lot has faded yellow lines for parking spots and lots of tar patching cracks in the asphalt. The parking lot is surrounded by grass with a light dusting of snow.
