Cyprus will participate in this year’s online International Low-Vision Song Contest on May 16, with the entry Pyxida, performed by Nicoletta Livadioti and Nikos Demetriou. The public is being encouraged to cast their votes to support the Cypriot duo.
Jan Gampe took things to the next level by actually making this cross-stitch out of the pattern I previously posted online. The flowers really gave it an extra level of charm I think.

I have two burning questions about the VIewPoint AI screen reader: 1. Why for WIndows only, and 2. Where does the collected data go? I did not see any disclaimers on their website. What did I miss? On the flip side, so cool to see AI being put to a good use. Developers, please do not relax though, you still have to take care of accessibility. :) dragonscave.space/@Woody/11447…
Viewpoint is a new AI-powered screen reader assistant for Windows screen readers. It is free. It is designed to make it easier to use inaccessible software, read PDF files and navigate inaccessible websites while using any Windows screen reader.
Because Viewpoint is powered by Google Gemini you will need a Gemini API key. This is free.
If it uses an API key, it presumably calls the API directly. You may want to set up billing in Google though, while their models are indeed free, the free tier allows Google to use your data for training.
> Gates bragged about convincing Oxford University not to open-license its vaccine. Gates leveraged his $750 million donation to the university for vaccine research—even though its vaccine was developed in a publicly funded lab. Eventually, Oxford sold the sole right of production to AstraZeneca, with no guarantee of low prices and an extraordinary opportunity for profit.
For my disabled followers, what do you consider when thinking about inclusive swag? Swag in this case meaning t-shirts, coffee mugs, backpacks, stickers, etc. that you acquire through conferences, work, or other places. I struggle to name what I look for in swag for it to be inclusive as a blind person; I think the most I'd look for is cool tactile design on t-shirts and perhaps embossed designs on stickers. But even that's a stretch; I've never felt strongly enough to remotely consider this, and that's why I'm here! I also consider things like Braille to be a novelty, and don't feel excluded when it doesn't exist. In a nutshell--I don't really care. But I'm sure someone out there does. Surely there's at least one of you. Please boost for reach. #disabled #accessibility #blind #swag
Wow, I wish I had more business experience. #EnvisionAI is hiring someone here in the US to help grow their reach. Curious? See the link. And, if you apply, please let them know I sent you. :) letsenvision.com/careers/partn…

Chystáte se dívat na MS v hokeji? Přijede nemálo zajímavých hráčů z NHL (nejen nám). – Tady jsem připravil ICS soubor pro načtení do kalendáře se zápasy českého týmu, zatím ve skupině. 🏒🇨🇿
Už se těším, možná nestihnu všechny zápasy, ale koukat se rozhodně budu. Za Kanadu jede po deseti letech Crosby, tak určitě se bude na co těšit 👍👍 Díky za přehled.

April was a much busier month than March. There were a bunch of new developments, both at the beginning of the month and the end of the month. As there is a lot of ground to cover, let’s hop in…
His scope of when and how he teaches infallibly is pretty narow. It happens when, in his official role of teacher and shepherd, he formally defines a doctrine having to do with faith or morals. catholic.com/tract/papal-infal…
Catholic teaching on papal infallibility is often misunderstood by Fundamentalists and other "Bible Christians." Find out what the Church really teaches.
@Thumper1964 @Bruce I never worry about things like that, even if they're true, as the Holy Spirit will always protect the church and the gates of hell won't prevail against it. Doesn't mean they won't try very hard but they will fail.
@Bruce I have read that some influential #Catholic individuals who supposedly belong to a group called Opus Dei were in and around the Vatican before the conclave began trying to somehow influence the deliberations. I don’t have any skin in the game, as I have said before elsewhere I’m not #Catholic even though I was blessed with Jesuit education through high school and college. I think there will be continuing pressure, probably on all sides, to politicize the papacy, and to the extent it can be resisted I hope it is.

The real problem, was that app trying to force us to choose between our privacy and their services by forcing the disabling of the ad blocker, and their argument of everyone else having to deal with the problem, doesn’t hold away either because everyone else can get to the close button. It’s not our fault. Talkback doesn’t see it after all. It’s also not our fault if someone’s ad causes actual damage to our phone because it locks it up and overheats it. There are entitled brats in any group I grant you, but this over a generalization and looking down on those of us who actually don’t have any money is just bar worthy. also, if I have to make a choice between my privacy in your app, your app is automatically going in the garbage. I was going to pay the subscription for the app they mentioned, until it demanded I disabled my ad blocker. My ad blocker is there for my privacy and the security of my device, including limiting the potential for massive overheating and physical damage. I am not turning it off just because some app says that I have to. How about I uninstall that app and make sure all of my friends know that they should too instead. I did the same thing with the CW. They tried to make me disable my ad blocker, they got deleted. Dice world is an example of an app that does ads in a way that isn’t intrusive. You have the option to watch video ads, but you don’t have to, and the rest of their ads are those little banner ads running across the bottom of the screen that don’t actually get in the way.
"Water rights defender Karina Ruiz Ocampo, who had been disappeared since April 13 after unknown persons broke into her home and forcibly took her away, was found dead on Saturday, May 3, in the municipality of Amatitán, Jalisco. Karina was a member of the organization La Cima Nuestra Prioridad, and defended the right to water in the La Cima neighborhood in El Arenal, where she lived.
"Due to her advocacy work, Karina had received constant threats through social networks, and feared for her safety. March 23, 2025 was her last participation in a public demonstration."
