It's so cool that I, a complete nobody, can just walk into the heart of some of the most important parts of what makes my and millions of PCs work – and follow along. But coolest: Add my thoughts, and get them taken seriously by the real heroes who create these amazing, collaborative things! Like @sophie, @TheEvilSkeleton, @tbernard, @ebassi, @bragefuglseth and many more!
I am so grateful for all the work – the coding, design, and the communicating.

When you use #Linux, you're not just a user of some product. Not just a consumer of a commodity a company churned out with the single goal of profit for shareholders
You're a participant in one of humanities greatest achievements!
Just like the magic of compiling the worlds knowledge in Wikipedia – here we have the same collaboration across space and time, thousands of people of all colors and creeds, choosing to spend time and energy making something for the community! It's beautiful!

This was my neighbor. He has an identical twin brother and they were about 5 years younger than me. His sister owns my childhood home now.

TIL that if you have the Proton experimental version installed, and something called Proton Voice Files in your library, and games are set to start with Proton experimental, games like Sequence Storm just come up talking on the Steam Deck. Can't seem to give non-Steam links for the above because I can't find Proton Voice Files in the web store.
One minor to major bummer, depending on your perspective, is that it uses Piper for speech, so if you speed up TTS then you get all the associated bummers with speeding up Piper--namely, it mimics someone actually talking fast, meaning the voice mumbles and stops enunciating rather than just speeding up synthesis.
And that's about all I know about this, so no follow-up questions please. Working on packaging this up in an easy installation script that checks for and opens dependencies in Steam for you--I don't think I can automate the actual installation.
Upcoming plans: Installing NVDA into game prefixes and maybe swapping out the Proton voice.
I don't know how we can convince boomers (# notall) that saving the planet is more important than paying the debt. Ugh

Interesting numbers.
#curl on my Linux machine can download a large file from http://localhost at 5.0GiB/sec. Pointing to the file:// version of the exact same file "only" increases the speed to .8.8GiB/sec.

Est-ce que j'ai enfin trouvé une kiné compétente ?
Je sais pas mais quand je lui ai parlé de mes problèmes de dos elle m'a demandé si j'avais un diagnostic de SED. Donc je dirais que c'est plutôt bien parti.

I can't recall anyone ever bringing up libsecret and I don't know about it either.
I would imagine you'd for example pass it on stdin.
Hey all,
just a reminder that the CfP for #FOSDEM presentations officially ends on the 1st of December, and that applies to our Music Production devroom too. If you have cool stuff to talk about (and I know you do!) please do consider submitting!
Please boost for reach! No idea if I'm using enough hashtags to reach everyone, but feel free to add more if you can think of others 😁

Youtube recommended a video to me about Windows Sandbox. I have never tried this before. Is it accessible? Obviously, it's a Windows VM, so I could put NVDA on it. But my questions are:
* Does it inherit my current Windows apps and settings, meaning it would start with NVDA already ready to go?
* How do I control focus, so I can determine if my host or sandbox will receive keyboard input?
I don't know if I'll ever need this, but it's a great tool to keep in mind.

OTTAWA — Meta has been lobbying the federal government for new rules to implement age verification at the app store level — which would put the burden on companies like Apple and Google, not individual platforms like Meta’s Facebook and Instagram.News Staff (CityNews Toronto)

POZOR, HLÁŠENÍ MÍSTNÍHO ROZHLASU!
Přátelé a kamarádi, uživatelé našich služeb na OSCloud!
Dnes večer přijede na náš server zásadní aktualizace pro zajištění bezpečnosti, aktuálnosti a stability nabízených služeb.
Dovolujeme si vás proto upozornit na chvilkovou nedostupnost vašich webových stránek, NextCloudu, RSS a dalších.
Mastodon instancí mamutovo.cz a mastodon.arch-linux.cz se výpadek týkat nebude.
Prosím nepanikařte, stačí že budeme my s @archos .
Výpadek by měl proběhnout kolem 8 hodiny UTC (abychom byli světoví, ale u vás to bude cca ve 21 hodin) a neměl by trvat déle než maximálně několik minut.
OPAKUJEME, PROSÍM ŽÁDNOU PANIKU!
Pro upřesnění doplním, že vám bude stejně k ničemu, protože na naší podpoře bude probíhat ten stejný upgrade, takže se nám stejně nedopíšete.
