Windows tablet users that use NVDA, is there a a way that isn't convoluted to get it to behave in a way that makes sense? e.g. Swiping up, down, left, right for arrows, left and right swipes with 2 fingers for shift tab and tab, double tap to activate whatever keyboard focus is on, etc. Object nav seems silly when this would work considerably better.

a statement from Vivaldi team:

"Today, as other browsers race to build AI that controls how you experience the web, we are making a clear promise:

We’re taking a stand, choosing humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting."

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human | Vivaldi Browser

Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over…

Come to terms with this: you are owned. You are a slave. I am a slave. We're all slaves. Our owners are the ones whose names appear in newspapers, and on our ballots, and on our receipts.

Understand that you are bought and sold, and your wishes are as relevant to public policy as my cats' opinions on free software.

Only when you begin to understand this (and that I am not joking in any way at all, I am 100% deadly serious about this) will you grasp how fucked we all are, and will be, until we either die or fix it.

Which do you want?

Microsoft Ava (Natural HD) and Microsoft Andrew (Natural HD) can now be used offline with NVDA and JAWS, via the SAPI Adapter utility. The voices come from Windows 11 Insider builds.
You need to go the Google Drive page whose link will be provided at the end, and grab both voice packages and REG packages from there.
Unzip the voices into the C:\TTS folder (or edit the path in the reg files).
You should have the following folders:
C:\TTS\AndrewHD
C:\TTS\AvaHD
Add all the reg files from AvaHD_reg.zip and AndrewHD_reg.zip to the registry.
They are called HD for a reason. They sound amazingly natural, though not as perfectly lively as their online counterparts, and each voice is about 230MB. Ava offline doesn't breathe unlike its online counterpart either.

RE: mastodon.social/@bagder/115745…

This is my main issue with all the LLM ("AI") use. I don't even care if people use it for their own projects, but so many people use it to offload their critical thinking to maintainers.

If you use LLM to generate your code that someone else has to review you're not saving time, you're *offloading* the time you "saved" to the reviewer who has to figure out if it is correct.

*You* as *submitter* need to be sure it is correct. Using an LLM does not absolve you of your responsibility to research.

This is not working. The number of #hackerone report submissions for #curl in 2025 is going through the roof, while the quality is going through the floor.

And the year isn't over yet.

My friend Ron Fisher accompanied me with his Norman guitar while I played "Welkin Walk" on my mandolin.

There's sheet music for the tune at the end.

@jonathan I'd love to have a Christmas dinner with you, actually. You don't know about it, but you influenced me positively very much. My family, even those who don't speak English at all, know your name because I quite often say "Jonathan once said this" or "as Jonathan used to tell in his podcast"… really, I have a huge amount of topics to discuss. I don't always agree with you, but isn't it even better like this? #MushroomFM

@archos @sesivany No a to se jim občas zadaří třeba tak, že celá série baterií je špatná a aktualizace softwaru způsobí, že baterie vydrží pár hodin. Ale je fakt, že se k tomu Google postavil celkem solidně (v rámci možností) a umožnil v některých regionech výměnu baterie, případně slevu na nákup nového telefonu, nebo (v mém případě) vrácení části zaplacené částky zpět.
