@doubletap I'm listening to today's episode ("The Best NVDA Add-ons and Keyboard Tricks You Need") and really enjoyed the discussion around #NVDA workflows and keyboard customisation. I smiled when one of you mentioned struggling to remap an Applications key on a Keychron, because I ran into exactly the same issue after buying my Keychron shortly after Christmas. What finally worked for me was not using the Menu / Applications keycode directly at all. Even though it's exposed in the Keychron Launcher, it didn't actually do anything reliably on Windows with NVDA. Instead, I created a macro for Shift+F10, which is the standard Windows keyboard equivalent for the context menu and is very screen-reader friendly. In the Keychron Launcher, I went to Macro, selected a macro slot, chose Start Recording, pressed Shift+F10, stopped recording, and then assigned that macro to the key I wanted. One important gotcha I ran into: the launcher shows what look like “duplicate” key entries in the macro (for example multiple F10s or Shift appearing twice). Those aren't mistakes. They're the key-down and key-up events. If you delete them, you can end up with Shift getting stuck. Leaving the macro exactly as recorded solved that for me. Once I did this, the key worked reliably everywhere I’ve tried it, like File Explorer, browsers, and with NVDA, and it's honestly been more dependable than trying to use the Applications key directly. Thought I'd share in case it helps others listening to this episode or experimenting with Keychron keyboards. #ScreenReader #Accessibility #Blind #keyboard @mastoblind @main
The US administration have held meetings with members of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a separatist group that is pushing for the western province to become independent.
The group is openly seeking a $500B US line of credit from the US Treasury to help bankroll the new country, if they come out victorious in a referendum.
What show will be on tonight at 8PM Eastern Time? Well, I think that Young Sheldon spinoff is still around, but the John Zone will be as well. To listen, simply direct your media player of choice to listen.hkcradio.com:8000/hkc.m…, ask your Google smart speaker to play HKC Radio on TuneIn, or say to Alexa "ask MyTuner Radio to play HKC Radio."
I filled it out. I feel like it was briefer than previous years? And obviously there are a bunch of questions about genAI junk, which I suspect will end up showing up as very widely used, so I hope some of you skeptics will also fill it out and at least we might be legible as a meaningful minority

@delta was a nice idea. I just installed it, and it just assigned me to some proprietary server of them, where I hoped I could use my own imap4 server. Just removed.
1) the server is not proprietary, it is just a normal email server with #postfix + #dovecot configured optimized for chatting without rate-limits see chatmail.at
2) they didn't assign you forcefully a server, you choose to proceed with the default onboarding, there was a "use other server" button right in that screen with option to use other chatmail or your own classic email server
the default server will change to random in the future when multi-relay is ready
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!
buddy, what is wrong with your choice of words??? "proprietary" is used to mean that the source code of the server component is not available, of course every server out there has an owner and is "proprietary" according to your definition 🤦🤦🤦
> And the default onboarding points to your servers.
as said, this will change in the future, for now we do what is easier for users
Habt ihr es auch gesehen? Die Doku des ZDF über so genannte #Christfluencer und ihre Verbindungen nach extrem rechts? Falls nicht. Hier in der Mediathek: zdf.de/video/reportagen/die-sp…
#Evangelikalismus und #Freikirchen sind teilweise anfällig für rechte Ambitionen in Richtung #AfD und US-Rechte. Und die christlichen Kirchen, was unternehmen die dagegen? Ich nehme nichts wahr.
I don't know who needs to hear this but if that ICE agent didn't just randomly execute Alex Pretti in the street but rather targeted him because Alex kicked an ICE vehicle the week before, that elevates your random murder to premeditated murder instead.
#BookReview They Came to Slay, the Queer Culture of DnD - by Thom James Carter
You may have guessed it, but I bought the book because it's purple, and who could resist a title like that? 💜
For anyone who's played #DnD for a while, like myself, there wasn't much new in the book. A little bit predictable. But a fun one to have in my collection regardless, and inspired me to experiment with characters of other genders in future TTRPG sessions.

any ideas how to install Heaviocity products with screenreader? I have serial numbers but cant access library files, the portal seems inaccessible at all.
Hello @RogueAmoeba I am trying to use Soundsource latest version and find it difficult to interact with the application entries in the table with VoiceOver. For example, I navigate to the "applications" table, then use up and down arrows to select the entry, then VO+interact with the entry. At this point when I try navigating through different parameters of the entry with VO+left and VO+right, my focus jumps out at some point. I am practically not able to get to effects, etc. (1/2)
"In a single call, #Tesla announced it’s killing the Model S and Model X, has no plans for new mass-market models, and is pivoting entirely to 'transportation as a service.' The company that revolutionized the auto industry is walking away from it, not because it failed, but because #ElonMusk got bored and found new toys." electrek.co/2026/01/29/tesla-c…
Also, I may have put myself in a situation where my Mastodon life and my work life collide in a way I never intended.
This is largely because the reaction to "I spoke to blind people and this is what they said" is being treated like either a revolutionary stroke of genius or a heretical breach of protocol, depending on who I speak to.
If you’re going to FOSDEM, please wear masks. The venue is stuffy and con crud was a thing before the virus that can take away your ability to concentrate enough to make software.
I've been asked a few times in the past week to use #GitHub, and I'd like to be helpful, but I keep seeing Renée Good's face and it would seem disrespectful somehow.
Happy to email a patch, but I'm done with that site.
that now makes me wonder why this ticket was closed without any comment: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-… If it were possible to do cross-instance forks and PRs then I'd be all-in for #Gitlab.
Problem to solve This task comes after the implementation of ActivityPub for social features, implementing cross-instance search, implementing visualizing cross-instance projects,...
> vetting customers is time consuming and potentially distracting.
GitLab employees are forbidden to discuss politics at work or raise concerns about GitLab's customers.
Even when it's perfectly clear that a customer is evil, they want to "do business with customers with values that are incompatible with our own values".
They "welcome everyone […] to be customers of GitLab" as they "do not currently exclude anyone from being a customer based on moral/value grounds."
I just (re-)discovered the Playdate play.date/ and it looks really cool but also really expensive. Is there way to buy a used one easily in France/Europe?
will you be at fosdem? I have 2 playdates and would possibly be willing to sell one. (It got a display repair at some point but works perfectly again.)
What are the current plans from BlueSky (the company) for interoperability with Mastodon/ActivityPub? We currently have two emerging alternatives to X that deserve to be taken seriously: the fedive...
Have they posted an announcement somewhere? Nothing on the audiogames forum so far. I didn't play but this is definitely something I'd like to mention in the next digest.
@pitermach I tried to recreate my account to start over with the tutorials with all the new changes over the past two years, and the signup app was off line. When I asked on their discord I was told the game was going offline permanently as of march first.
Hey Mozilla, if you want to be the "AI rebel alliance" then you have to do all you can to reject it. The Rebel Alliance wasn't "Ethical Stormtroopers".
talking about cisgender men on fedi (and the internet as a whole)
This is gonna sound like a call out post, and... No, it really isn't. I'm not calling out anyone in particular. I've just seen it one too many times. The straw, the camel's back, yadiyada.
My cis dudes. I love you. I really do. But I'm tired of you going under women's post expressing their grievances about men, to explain how ashamed you are of other men. It's... It's tiring. Like, it's really fucking tiring. Because you don't realize that every time we make such a post there is at least one or two of you. Every time.
We don't care about you being not like the other guys. Yes, sure, are one of the good ones, whatever. Good boy and all that. But when you do this, not only do you not contribute anything to the discussion, you're actually adding to the problem. It's adding emotional labour to the women trying to explain themselves when really you should just stay quiet and listen.
Give a like. Boost the post, even. But you don't need to say anything, not to us. Call out other men in the responses that are probably trying to argue and ending up exactly proving her point. Do better, instead of saying that you already are.
