I have to say, I'm fairly impressed by Openai's codex, both the CLI agent and their new gpt-5-codex model. Definitely my new agentic AI tool of choice.

It's the opposite of Claude Code in that it's extremely terse where Claude code is verbose. For example, I much prefer Claude's output for commit messages, as Codex will almost always produce one-liners unless very heavily prompted to do otherwise.

@NVAccess Hey guys, I'll follow this up with an issue, but wondered if you'd seen this behavior. I use WSL a lot, and it throws lots and lots of text into that window. To nav it correctly, I have to be in obj mode in terminal. For some reason, I can't determine when it happens, speech stops and sometimes I know it's partially crashed but sometimes I get the NVDA start sound only when I hit the NVDAS key. Assuming it's a windows terminal problem, but I sure with it was more stable. Can't remember how to set it in Debug move but I don't think it's actually dropping an error, but on e never knows does one. How do I turn that weirdo option on?

Sounds like an issue worth reporting - thank you! Re turning debug logging on:

1) Press NVDA+control+g to open NVDA's general settings.
2) Tab to "Log Level"
3) Down arrow to "Debug".
Ok and save settings (I recommend restarting with add-ons disabled, recreating the issue then grabbing the log - that way it's not cluttered with anything else you were doing etc. And we'll need a log with add-ons disabled just to rule out any interference from add-ons.

> There's an opportunity for a service like CloudFlare here give people a simple toggle that manages geoblocks on legal liability factors. It's way too much for every organisation to individually track every country's laws day by day in case just by being accessible there you incur a liability. And it sounds like the UK would have just self-selected out of the list of "safe" countries.

Insane. These people really hate the internet so much they'd be happy to centralize it all

You know, I damn #Trump and his whole administration all to hell, if you are #Trans, do yourself a favor and avoid coming to the #US whatever you do, make an excuse, avoid coming here like the plague until we've kicked #Trump and his brutish people out of office. I hope one day, we will be able to return toward a more inclusive and freedom-based time here, but don't come here, let the people who might want to visit you who can safely do so, but coming to the US right now is the same as asking for a death sentence, all because you might have a gender-neutral card or your #gender on that card is different than what was assigned to you at birth. I'm feeling so much shame for what the US has become and I feel terrible that we are being made to look like people who aren't accepting of #Trans people, but I promise, not all of us here want this to happen or condone this type of anti-trans behavior. Stay safe y'all, the storm will pass, but don't come here for your own safety, the fact I even have to write this down to me is absolutely disgusting and horrifying and I want this all to end and for us to return toward a freer, more inclusive time like has been in years' past.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been part of the Google Accessibility Trusted Tester program, where people with disabilities test unreleased products and give direct feedback to engineers. In my article, I share how the program works, how I’ve maximized participation, the experience I’ve gained, and why more companies should follow Google’s lead in compensating disabled testers.

The Google Accessibility Trusted Tester program gives participants the chance to try new Google products before they are released to the public. Testers then provide feedback directly to Google’s engineering teams.

> A teenager died Saturday in rural Iowa, after he was shot by a fellow hunter who apparently mistook him for a squirrel, officials said.

No fucking way. Come on. I've spent so many hours hunting squirrels, they don't hang out on the ground. It's super rare to catch them there. They will hear you from a distance and go to the trees and start their predator alert calls and try to hide. You gotta shoot them down.

Now rabbits? Yes.

and how the hell do you confuse a human with a squirrel anyway? Someone's hiding the truth

Has anyone noticed that Zoom for Windows uses text fields which are technically inaccessible? They work around this by giving screen reader alerts whenever I use the arrow keys, select text, or delete characters.
Naturally, they don't just pass through the punctuation symbol to the screen reader, because they can't predict which punctuation will get spoken by the screen reader otherwise. So the names of symbols probably won't match the ones in a screen reader. It seems to be based partially on the JAWS symbol dictionary.
On a Braille display, the control is borderline unusable, because there's no cursor representation and any navigation or deletion will replace the entire text field with the announcement. If you type the word "potatos" and then discover there is only one potato, pressing the backspace will replace everything on your Braille display with a line that says "s deleted".
And to top things off, the announcer seems to completely ignore emoji characters and they don't seem to show up in the weird limited object navigation either, so there's no way to confirm you've typed them.
I wonder what kind of absurd design choice or company culture problem led to this need to completely reinvent the wheel for a text field of all things. I know QT had cursor tracking issues in text fields, but I thought that was fixed long ago.

I used one of them fancy GitHub scripts, and nuked Windows Defender off my system. Why you ask? Because it was always doing its background scans. Always. Always using CPU when I don't want it to. Nope. Not dealing with this bullshit from Microsoft at all. It's gone. Off my system you go. I tried Eset (their online scanner) but it was not super accessible, so still on the lookout for an AV that lets me manually do the scan and control it, doesn't have a high flagging rate for developer .exe files and things like Accessible_output2 in TWBlu and Tweesecake (yes, stupid Eset flagged these too, argh!) - I'm just done. I'm fed up with Windows AV software. They're all false positive land these days. This is why Linux is better in every way.

A little hint for those who may not know. On this pc, since it's the company pc and I can't install things here, I run NVDA as a portable version. Therefore, if you ever want to install an NVDA addon that you downloaded from an external source such as Sonata voices or RHVoices, Windows does not automatically guess it's an NVDA addon, it asks with which program you want to open the NVDA addon...in that case, use: Install from external source within the #NVDA addon store installed addons tab. You'll then be presented with an open file/browse dialog, after which you can select wherever you put the Sonata voices or RHVoices addon, and it'll install as it should. After you've installed stuff from external sources, just tab to the close button and NVDA will come up with the normal dialog, Addons were installed/removed...you must restart NVDA for the changes to take effect...just press enter and it'll do it's thing, now you can use the addon/s you have installed.

@NVAccess I'd like to report an adon in the adon store that possibly contains malware and is being flagged as malware by Windows Defender and other antivirus programs and therefore won't install. It is redundant anyway now since the thing it is built for is now included in NVDA as of the latest version. The adon in question is called "Tele NVDA Remote Assistance" by HM something (HMDorb? HMDub? something with HMD in the developer's name anyway) and I couldn't find a report feature in the store directly so that's why I'm reporting it directly in a post on Mastodon. Anyway I tried installing it myself and sure enough Windows Defender flagged it as a threat and stopped it from installing on my computer, so that's how I know it's Malware. The URL to the adon is github.com/nvda-es/TeleNVDA I strongly recommend you take a look as I think it's definitely got some sort of Malware in it. I have already reported it to Github so they can take a look on their end.

Echoing @cubic - we have looked at that & we believe it is a false positive. What is being flagged is basically the same as what was flagged in the original NVDA Remote & in our built in implementation until we reported it as a false positive and had it fixed. We have helped TeleNVDA report the false positive as well - it can just take awhile. We do actually virus check all add-ons (as well as all NVDA core code), and it's amazing(ly annoying) how often things get falsely falgged

Wife had a job interview as the doctor she works with is going on maternity leave and she's kinda being left in limbo there

Them: so if you show up on time, you get $2/hr more. If you wear your uniform, you get $2/hr more. If you submit this paperwork on time, you get $2/hr more.

Her: Wait, what? Why is this a thing?

Them: oh you were born before 2000 weren't you? This is what we have to do now to get young people to actually follow the rules.

Our ongoing repo reorg also resulted in other 8 apps having been removed, as they were no longer maintained AND rarely requested anymore:

* Elfreader
* Fastair
* Warpshare
* OpenFarManager
* Calculator (ha! yeah, which one 🙈 The one from 2016)
* BookShelf
* TailPos
* domodel-diary

Our reorg is still ongoing, so more will probably follow. We hope the cleaning also makes it easier for you to find what you need in our repo, without distraction.
