Use CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW (or CTRL+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW on laptops) to start.

Open the Skim Reading dialog with CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW (or CTRL+SHIFT+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW) to change what’s read or create custom rules.

I’m pleased to see Vispero talking up skim reading in JAWS. People don’t often talk about it but it’s a powerful feature. Perhaps a little less relevant in a world of AI summaries, but still very powerful. For example, if you work somewhere that produces lists where activities for your department are highlighted in a certain color, you can set up a skim reading rule to present only those tasks to you.

Seeking music made with OSARA by a person who might be female, trans, nonbinary or similarly underrepresented. I'm gonna be re-recording a walkthrough of installing and configuring on Windows and I'd like to have something good playing at the end.

Asking as blatantly as this is clumsy, but I reckon it could reach someone who wouldn't have put themselves forward without knowing I'm on the hunt, that's why I'm running at representation with all the grace of a wrestler clotheslining a hatstand full of saucepans. Please note: that's not necessarily what your music has to sound like.

If you've got some music that you made using OSARA, please reply or DM with a link I can check out. Boosts and intros appreciated. Cheers!

Paperback 0.5 is out, sporting the largest changelog in Paperback's history thus far! We even had a new contributor majorly assist in adding a new document format! Full changelog:
* Added Microsoft Word document support!
* Added support for PowerPoint presentations!
* Fixed certain menu items not being disabled with no documents open.
* Fixed the orientation of the go to percent slider.
* Fixed the table of contents in Epub books with URL-encoded file paths and/or fragment IDs.
* Fixed whitespace being stripped from XHTML headings in weird ways.
* Fixed whitespace handling inside of nested pre tags in HTML documents.
* HTML and Markdown documents now support the table of contents feature! When you load an HTML/Markdown document, Paperback will build its own table of contents out of the structure of the headings in your document, and it will show that to you in the control+t dialog.
* HTML documents will now have the title as set in the title tag, if it exists. Otherwise, they'll continue to use the filename without the extension.
* Switched from UniversalSpeech to using a live region to report speech. This means no screen reader DLLs are shipped alongside the program anymore, and more screen readers will now be supported, such as Microsoft Narrator.
* Switched zip libraries to allow for opening a wider array of epub books.
* The dialog asking you if you want to open your document as plain text has been completely redone, and it now allows you to open your document as plain text, HTML, or Markdown.
* The go to percent dialog now includes a text field allowing you to manually input a percentage to jump to.
* The HTML parser will now recognize dd, dt, and dl as list elements.
* The table of contents in Epub books will once again be preserved exactly.
* The Unicode non-breaking space is now considered when stripping blank lines.
* You will no longer be asked how you want to open an unrecognized file every single time you load it, only the first time.

Nevím jestli mi víc vadí to, že má nějaký stroj na navíjení čehosi otevřené VNC do světa nebo to, že píšou tvrdé y ve slově "vinutí" 😁

If you, like me, are being constantly subscribed to substacks without your consent, you can go to this link and turn on the setting called "Require email verification when subscribing".
Presumably, this will stop unwanted subscriptions altogether. There is also a button to "Unsubscribe from all publications and emails", which might be useful if you're not staying on top of your unsubscribe links and you don't willingly subscribe to anything on that site.
I've been added to several email lists which are paid memberships with free article previews, so my e-mail gets flooded with posts I can't actually read in full without paying. The paywalled email spam is clearly an attempt to draw more users in, so even if the posts themselves look legit, this is quite a shady practice.
Adding email addresses without the user's consent is a violation of Substack terms of service, but I haven't figured out how to report profiles for doing this. The site is mostly accessible but has enough unlabeled buttons that i'm probably just missing it. Reddit threads suggest Substack isn't known for doing anything about it, and (at risk of spitballing a bit) I imagine Substack keeps a percentage of what their writers earn, so it makes business sense to continue allowing these unwanted mass-imports until they get in trouble for it.

Op zaterdag 11 oktober 2025 kan je naar allerlei activiteiten in het kader van de nacht van de duisternis. Ik ben niet voor een duistere toekomst... maar het is wel belangrijk dat het 's nachts donker is. We moeten verlichten wat moet verlicht worden. De rest is energieverspilling en slecht voor mens, dier en natuur.

👋 Watt’s up, Europe?

The numbers of electric vehicles sold in Europe in 2024 are in:

⚡ 1.45 million new battery-only EVs registered
📈 +32% growth in the total electric fleet
🚗 Nearly 6 million e-vehicles on the road
🔋 13.6% of all new car registrations are electric

Europe is accelerating full throttle to a clean future.

Read more: link.europa.eu/cNKjkh

A color-coded map of Europe titled "Share of electric vehicles sold in each EU country in 2024," showing the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as a percentage of total new passenger car registrations. The EU average is 13.5%. Countries with the highest shares (>20%, darkest shade) include Sweden (35%), Netherlands (34.5%), Finland (29.5%), Luxembourg (27.4%), Belgium (28%), and Denmark (51%). Other countries like France (16.5%), Portugal (19.9%), and Austria (17.5%) are also in the <20% range. Several Eastern and Southern European countries (including Italy, Spain, Poland, and Czechia) have shares below 10% (the lightest shades).

1.45 million new battery-only electric cars in 2024

In 2024, 1.45 million new battery-only electric passenger cars were registered in the EU, a decrease of 6.1% compared with 2023 (1.55 million). This brought the total number of battery-only electric cars to 5.

Hořké, zajímavé. Znal jsem jejich švestku, kterou dělali dávno předtím, než u nás začala letět ochucená „piva“. Vždy mi chutnala. Tohle je méně sladké. Doporučuju.

So I have one bike, an electric assist bike, and as I've shared here, I'm saving up for a #Rivendell next spring (non-electric, regular bike).

Hubby has teased me this is too many bikes, and I've said, "Dude, you have no idea how bike people get, be grateful I'm only thinking of two," and it led to us guesstimating how many people have more than one bike. I said over 30%, he thinks 1-2%.

How many bikes do you have? Not in your household, but for you personally to ride/maintain?

#BikeTooter

  • I have no bikes 😭 (20%, 120 votes)
  • One 🚲 (34%, 209 votes)
  • Two or three (32%, 198 votes)
  • Four or more bikes (12%, 74 votes)
601 voters. Poll end: 19 hours ago
