Edit: Got it, thanks BlueLegend and Bri.
Mentioning people I know have been contributing to this. In 2024, I made a project in NVGt called FlashFiles, which was quite interesting for my skills at that time. Sadly due to my weird nature back then I deleted it, and only have a few outdated sounds, binarys or a weird old source from april with the most major changes missing. Does anyone still have an old backup/repo clone of this somewhere and would be willing to send it over in DM? I wanna look back on it. And also sorry for deleting it with no comment back then, I don't understand myself from back then. I appreciate your time. And bevore you ask, yup the repo is sadly also long gone and I can't seem to recover it.

RE: mastodon.social/@Tutanota/1156…

We have to apologize as the statement that "Meta AI will read your private messages" is wrong.

Meta will use your conversation with its AI to show you personalized ads. Here's the Meta announcement: about.fb.com/news/2025/10/impr…


Improving Your Recommendations on Our Apps With AI at Meta

We will soon use your interactions with AI at Meta to personalize the content and ads you see, including things like posts and reels.

Právě jsem zjistil, že až se dostaví tramvaj do Malešic, bude mi jezdit přímej autobus od domu až před kancl. Teď to mám s jedním přestupem z busu na bus.
Pořád budu jezdit do práce na kole. Ale už to asi nebude nejrychlejší volba. Nejzábavnější a nejekologičtější volbou zůstane dál. A až nasněží, bude se to hodit.

Im Großen und Ganzen sind die Mitarbeitenden der Mobilitätszentrale der #Bahn echt in Ordnung und geben sich Mühe. Aber es nervt schon, dass a) man das immer noch nicht mit einem ordentlichen Ticket-/Onlineprozess eingeben kann oder es zumindest per Mail lösen kann, b) es jedes Mal anders läuft und jede:r das mit dem Merkzeichen und #Rollstuhl anders abfragt/einordnet und c) ich allein für den #39C3 schon wieder 2 h Telefonzeit in die Hin- und Rückfahrtsplanung/Buchung investiert habe, um doch nur die Hälfte erledigt zu bekommen, weil die Platzreservierung für die #Begleitperson vergessen wurde. Jene würde ich ja gerne bezahlen, aber ich kann sie nicht #online neben meinem Rolliplatz buchen. #wheelscientistontour #Bahnefreibarrierefrei

Když mi bylo osm let, přečetla jsem svoji první sci-fi knížku - Setkání s Rámou od A. C. Clarkea. Ta kniha předurčila moje směřování na léta dopředu. Neustále jsem se hrabala v počítačích a vystudovala jsem telekomunikace, radioelektroniku a navigační systémy. Vždycky jsem snila o vesmíru. Sice se mi nikdy nepovedlo Clarkovi poděkovat (nebo mu nadávat, občas si nejsem jistá 😆 ), ale aspoň jsem včera viděla úžasného astronauta, spisovatele a hudebníka, který Clarkea potkal 🥰

There's a first time for everything. Just had to deny a registration request on the official OctoPrint plugin repository as the plugin the author tried to register turned out to be pretty much completely vibe coded. And in the end, even their communication seemed to be the output of an LLM.

Unbelievably bad quality: tons of bugs, dead code, (future) vulnerabilities, ... I honestly haven't yet seen this amount of shittiness from a human developer, no matter how clueless.

I hate this future.

I'm a Google Workspace admin, and a team member sent me a screenshot showing that a message they wanted to send was being blocked because it violated an organizational policy-- which was news to me-- I hadn't put in place to block messages based on their content.

Turns out Google Workspace now warns by default when the message content mentions gender identity.

I received this new wireless mechanical keyboard that works great. However, in order to get home, end, page up, and page down to work you have to use the function key in conjunction with one, seven, three, and nine on the number pad on the keyboard. My problem is, NVDA interprets these keys as numbers on the keypad rather than home and page up and page down. Does anyone know of a way to stop NVDA from interpreting these keys or possibly using something like sharp keys to reap the keys with other modifier keys to perform the same function? Hope this all makes sense. I like the keyboard other than this. My problem is, I'm not sure that sharp keys would take a key in conjunction with a modifier layer two interpret the key differently. I think the flaw is within NVDA itself, and not so much the keyboard. The keyboard only has a 90% key layout so I'm limited and cannot reap other keys to perform these functions. I guess I really need to figure out how to bypass NVDA to perform these functions on a keyboard by keyboard basis, which makes the whole process much more complicated overall. Am I through breaking your brain yet?

Erinnert Ihr Euch noch an die zeiten, da man eigentlich immer extrem nach Rauch stank, wenn man irgendwo essen war? Was gab es für Proteste, als das Rauchen in Restaurants verboten wurde! Es würden keine Leute mehr kommen, Einschränkung der persönlichen Freiheit... Und heute? Kaum einer kann sich mehr vorstellen, im Restaurant rauchvernebelt zu werden und die Gaststätten sind immer noch voll. Ich Wünschte mir, mehr Politiker hätten den Mut, vielleicht unpoppuläre Massnahmen einfach mal auszuprobieren, angefangen von höheren Strafen gegen Arbeitgebende, die keinen Schwerbehinderten einstellen, über Grundsätzliche Parkgebühren im öffentlichen Raum, über Begrenzung von Geschwindigkeiten auf Autobahnen... Ich wette, man wäre schneller dran gewöhnt, als gedacht...Aber irgendwie traut man sich zu oft nur Massnahmen zum Nachteil derer, die sich am wenigsten wehren können...

After a short break, I’m returning to accessibility training services.

I provide one-on-one training for blind and visually impaired users across multiple platforms. My teaching is practical and goal-driven: not just commands, but confidence, independence, and efficient workflows that carry into daily life, study, and work.

I cover:
iOS: VoiceOver gestures, rotor navigation, Braille displays, Safari, text editing, Mail and Calendars, Shortcuts, and making the most of iOS apps for productivity, communication, and entertainment.
macOS: VoiceOver from basics to advanced, Trackpad Commander, Safari and Mail, iWork and Microsoft Office, file management, Terminal, audio tools, and system upkeep.
Windows: NVDA and JAWS from beginner to advanced. Training includes Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Zoom, web browsing, customizing screen readers, handling less accessible apps, and scripting basics.
Android: TalkBack gestures, the built-in Braille keyboard and Braille display support, text editing, app accessibility, privacy and security settings, and everyday phone and tablet use.
Linux: Orca and Speakup, console navigation, package management, distro setup, customizing desktops, and accessibility under Wayland.

Concrete goals I can help you achieve:
Set up a new phone, tablet, or computer
Send and manage email independently
Browse the web safely and efficiently
Work with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
Manage files and cloud storage
Use social media accessibly
Work with Braille displays and keyboards
Install and configure accessible software across platforms
Troubleshoot accessibility issues and build reliable workflows
Make the most of AI in a useful, productive way
Grow from beginner skills to advanced, efficient daily use

I bring years of lived experience as a blind user of these systems. I teach not only what manuals say, but the real-world shortcuts, workarounds, and problem-solving skills that make technology practical and enjoyable.

Remote training is available worldwide.

Pricing: fair and flexible — contact me for a quote. Discounts available for multi-session packages and ongoing weekly training.

@jonathan859 The links you sent are cut off. Also, I cannot really help you unfortunately. All I know is that after build 7019 Narator should work - at least by resetting from the settings.
Alternatively, just use a 24h2 iso from the Internet Archive. It's really easy to find and you safely can use it (I did so too). Also the upgrading process to 25h2 is fairly easy.

I finally started to use #NextCloud #CookBook app together with the android companion app.
Up until now I always searched internet for recepies, picked one, coocked one, done.
But using this app improves the workflow a lot.
1️⃣ You search the recipe once, and then you past the url to the app to download it.
2️⃣ You build a catalogue of favourite recipes which simplyfies decisions on what to cook. No idea what to cook? Just browse favourite recipes and pick something.
3️⃣ You can share recipes among family members
4️⃣ Your recipe is always with you. For example when you're shopping.
5️⃣ No ADS. Recipe pages are cluttered with banners and popups so much, that you can barely read the recipe on the phone. Cookbook just fetches the information from the web and leaves all ads behind.

Thanks for recommending it to me @tomteo

@jackc I'm using it for my 3 recipes :D but unfortunately companion app already let me down two times. It logouts on Android from time to time and when I need to cook, I don't want to search for nextcloud login...

Btw. it seems to me like really bad design to have to login into more applications on mobile, when I already have main app. I hope this will improve in future.
