Looking for guidance from my musician friends. I have a Komplete Kontrol A61 keyboard, and think it's far past time I learned to play this thing competently again. I also have a very friendly cat/raccoon/weasel/mythical creature hybrid whose species we aren't really sure of. Said catmonkeyweaselcoon likes to sit on things. As such, the keyboard is currently in its case to keep it from getting clogged with beige fur and litter. The case does a great job of keeping it litter-free, but also does a great job of keeping me from playing.
What do I need to keep this thing safe from our monkeybobcat creature? I see dust covers but our boy is 13 pounds dense, and I'm concerned the keys might get crushed over time. I don't think I want a case, because I'd like to leave it on the stand, though I'm open to a case if it somehow doubled as a stand/cover. Are there hard-shell dust covers? Stands with hard-shell covers that aren't huge? I just have a simple stand right now. Happy to upgrade it if that's the key but I'm having a hard time finding things that will work and figured I'd ask for pointers.

Version 4 of ETI Eloquence for NVDA 64-bit has been released. In addition to fixing indexing issues and updating parts of the documentation, the major new feature in this release is dictionary updates.
From NVDA Settings, under the Eloquence dictionaries pane, users can now choose which dictionary they want and update it directly from GitHub. These updates pull the latest daily changes rather than the official monthly releases. The available options are the IBM TTS dictionaries and the Alternative IBM TTS dictionaries.
Note: to see the Eloquence dictionaries pane, ETI Eloquence must be selected before opening the NVDA Settings dialog.

To localise the settings panel: import `addonHandler`, call `addonHandler.initTranslation()`, and then wrap all user-facing labels (e.g. text of checkboxes) in a call to the magic underscore (`_`) function.
E.g. `_('&Maximum number of history entries (requires NVDA restart to take effect)')`
@jscholes Thanks! Don't I have to do...something to build pots and poes and then put them...somewhere?
@jscholes We are not using scons. We are not using the NVDA addon template. We are not using anything even vaguely resembling a sane build system. See build.cmd and build.py and cry. In other words, if it needs to happen, I need to do it myself.
No, but I did forget one thing: you should put a `# Translators: ...` comment on the line above where some user-facing text is used for the first time, explaining what that text is for. E.g.:
`# Translators: the label for the button to update community dictionaries from GitHub`
@jscholes So where do the localization files come from and where do they go? Do translators make them somehow?
Ah... well: there is a translation workflow which will pull the translatable strings out of your add-on, put them somewhere for translators to translate, and then push the locale files back into your add-on. What I'm unsure about is whether they'd accept Eloquence as an add-on in that system.
The details are here:
github.com/nvaccess/mrconfig/b…
mrconfig/readme.md at master · nvaccess/mrconfig
where NVDA add-ons can register for translations. Contribute to nvaccess/mrconfig development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
@jscholes No, they will not. They also won't allow it in the addon store. So to localize the addon, I need to recreate that or a similar workflow.
Indeed. Probably easiest to have people clone the repo, pull out the translatable strings into a file using an appropriate tool (or do that yourself and commit it), compile their own translated strings file, and contribute the textual and compiled versions in a PR.
Even though you're not using the add-on template, you can probably reuse the translation-related utilities from it.
github.com/nvaccess/addonTempl…
GitHub - nvaccess/AddonTemplate: Template and metadata used by NVDA community add-ons
Template and metadata used by NVDA community add-ons - nvaccess/AddonTemplateGitHub
@jscholes Yes, this is the way. Unfortunately I only speak one language, so I can't generate a translation, and I can't switch my NVDA to another language to test the translation. So this work is going to have to fall on someone else, I think. I'm not confident enough in myself to release code I can't really test. I make enough silly mistakes as it is, because I'm not actually good at this and just do it anyway.
You don't really need to test the translations themselves; string selection happens via well trodden code paths inside NVDA. As long as the files end up in the right places (which are documented), it will work.
But I agree with your wider point about the rest of it. I would start by at least making sure the code is set up in the ways I described if it isn't already, because there'll be no translation at all without those bits. And then hope someone can come along to fill in the rest.
@jscholes It is not. I'll push the code changes soon. I assume doing that won't break anything if no translations or translation infrastructure exists? Like, what happens if you set your NVDA to Spanish, but no Spanish translation is available? Does the addon just refuse to load?
@jscholes Thanks! This has been helpful. 
I feel like a sighted developer trying to make something accessible LOL. I have no idea what I'm doing and no way to test it.

Don't tell anyone, but localisation is one reason I don't like working on software for the community. Not because I don't think it's critical; obviously people should have the thing available in their language.
But the common tools are just so... hacky. They feel like they were built with an order of priorities that went developer, translator, user, when I think user and translator should be considered as far more important.
As a result, the developer experience isn't actually that great—relying on magic global state and functions as it does—and translations can end up with anglicised word ordering because the English-speaking developers and tools get in the way.
@jscholes The trouble is, if you make it harder for developers, people like me will never do it at all. Not because we don't care, just because we're stupid and this is a hobby. In an ideal world, translators could somehow translate the text without requiring the developer to do anything but accept a pull request. Again, not because I don't think it's worth the effort, but just because I don't want to write code I can't test.
@jscholes We also aren't technically supposed to host the eloquence dll files on github. That's why the build process is...the way it is. So that when the repo that contains them gets pulled down, we can get them elsewhere with a quick change.
Does anyone know an accessible work time tracking piece of software or web service? And by that I do mean really accessible, not somewhat usable with tons of unlabeled controls and such nonsense. I personally don't, so inclined to craft something on my own, but before I just wanted to make sure it doesn't already exist. #Accessibility #Work #TimeTracking #Freelance

Reading up on the DRAM/NAND prices situation and I've come to a conclusion: expect prices to raise for basically everything in tech. Not just because these things go in almost every piece of tech, but also because the price hikes are so massive that everybody else in the sector will use them as an excuse to justify price increases.
We've already seen this playbook in other sectors. Take the car market in 2020 or the energy market in 2022. Once prices start going up everybody else joins in. Later they can't come down, because once general inflation starts going up then the costs of those companies also go up, so there's no way back.
Also, you know what's funny? AI companies are ostensibly the root of these price increases - even though their demands are clearly unrealistic and overinflated - but their costs will also go up... and they're losing boatloads of money as it is. They're already financially strained, and we can only hope that increased costs are going to drive them into the ground faster.

Over the years, the most unwelcome thing (that I could still find amusing) to discover that as reflection of their respective domestic politics there's always an extant political sentiment even if it doesn't rise to the level of actual separatism, in Acheh, Riau islands, Sumatera, Southern Thailand, Indonesian Kalimantan even Mindanao, of using Malaysia as a discourse totem, the "what if we had joined that federation instead". Unwelcome because a lot of our diplomatic border disputes in this entire southeast asian region are basically frozen and no one really wants to heat them up, and the formation of Malaysia itself has always been treated as a something suspicious post-konfrontasi, that never really went away.

A week or so ago I asked for German sci-fi books for my middle kid, who is struggling with his German grammar.
He's dyslexic and loves reading *my scifi books* in English, to the detriment of his German.
I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from @lk108 who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.
So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.
The box arrived today! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.
Anyway thanks @lk108 for the lovely offer, and I'm sure Theo will be delighted.
Please give this post a round of boosts because a nice thing happened and we don't hear enough about that.

[1]^ This is a fundamental misunderstanding that reminds me (again) of one of my favorite failed experiments of '90s internet: the online 3D shopping center.
[2]C-levels of the time spared no expense to build a complete VRML model of a shoping center in the browser, where you could walk around, take the escalator for a better view on the virtual fountain or even rent a virtual space for your goods.
What the inventors didn't understand is that of course people don't go to the mall to use the escalator, but to buy stuff.
Online banking, shopping, etc. became popular even over phone-based services because people realized that clicking on stuff is more effective than talking (and walking).
Chatbots are the 3D escalators of todays technology.

@mgifford @BillySmith It's weird for a project that believes on open-source to rely on a service that is closed-source. It is a little bit two-faced.
This is true. And I use the proprietary Nvidia driver.
Definitely still worth trying to pick a better service to use whenever possible though, I will say. I'm looking to switch to a different driver when I find one that works correctly.

@mgifford @BillySmith Just because others do a thing doesn't make it right. Geez, didn't your parents give you the "if your friends are jumping off a bridge without a parachute, would you do it?" speech?
These systems also spy on users, require users to have accounts within said proprietary systems, will enshittify very badly soon (ok, Telegram already is,) and etc.
Even if you must use something proprietary, at least something less evil like, say, Revolt, but systems have existed that were open for a long time. Most things used to use IRC for open discussion and a few still do. It's still reliable and good and pretty much Just Works™.

As for Discord, apart from them being part of the USA-based surveillance-industrial complex, their original set-up was great, as Discord was a very light web-app, but the latest versions have become so fat, that they cause browser crashes when trying to use other websites at the same time.
Using googledocs at the same time, as Discord doesn't work, so it means that they have broken the original reasons for using them... 🤦

@TheQuinbox Paperback. That is all. That's the whole message.
I've just spent an ungodly amount on books to read because Paperback has made reading even more fun than it was already. Thank you for all you do.
I've just spent an ungodly amount on books to read because Paperback has made reading even more fun than it was already. Thank you for all you do.
you know, one of the best ideas Chicken Nugget had was an undo, so if you accidentally pressed page up/down/home/end/something else, you could just hit undo and be put back where you came from. Could you implement something like that in Paperback? Imagine you do Alt left/right, press L for a link, jump to the wrong bookmark and you just don't remember what you were listening to. Hard to fix that, you know? How about maybe a 5 or 10 undo step that control Z would return you to? Just an idea. Maybe a stupid one.
Hmm, not a bad idea. I honestly thought about making alt left/right serve as this. Not for super basic stuff, if you press H once you can just press shift h, but press enter on a super far link, or a toc item that throws you somewhere, or an epub section? Yes absolutely.
What does alt left/right do right now? I pressed it today thinking I was in a browser window and luckily it didn't do anything, but it said it did and I had a mild panic. Is it the same as left/right bracket?
It stores a navigation history of all of the links you've pressed enter on. So, for example, if I press enter on an internal link in an epub and it takes me 26 chapters ahead, I can hit alt+left arrow and be back right where I was.
O that's clever. Nice.
Also how do you know when a link is pressable, if that can be a word? I mean it's easy to just try, one assumes that when you come across table of contents and find 'Chapter 1/Part 1' it's pressable, but it's just guesswork, right?

Unless you use k/shift+k or the elements list, yes unfortunately it's just guesswork when you come across them in the normal text field. I really would like to change this, for example optionally make paperback read heading levels, link states, etc as you navigate, but it's actually almost impossible, even for me.
Well if it ever comes to it and you start wanting sounds for the app, I'd like first refusal. Some might want the standard 'Link' etc, but I like to process in parallel so I'd like a sound for it. Make your options bigger of course, but you're up to the challenge haha
Oooooh, sounds for elements is a fucking terrific idea! I'll need to brainstorm this a bit, but holy fuck you might've just solved this problem in an utterly ingenious way without even meaning to. The largest technical challenge with making paperback do that is hooking the screen reader and making it so heading level 3, for example, is spoken *before* the text you just navigated to. Very, very hard, damn near impossible, dare I say. But sounds? That would still be a bit tricky and require some hackery, but playing a sound is way easier once you get the detection of moving between elements working. I'll keep you posted for sure :)
i m o it could be use full for headings if the document has very large sections of content in a heading. can we like limit like how far it will make the history capture so that if the diffrence is close enough it doesn't add but if its large it does?
@Aryan I just finished a book which had links for the sections. After the sections it's the book. After the book, the next link was a website to the publisher. That was a huuuuuuuuge jump. lol
OO is there any way to turn off the find rapping back? It just confused me. Somehow I lost my place in a book big-time, don't know what I did, so I used NVDA speech history to get to the nearest point when I started reading again, and it said it couldn't find in that direction so wrapped back around. I checked options but couldn't locate something to stop that from happening.

Think we may have to upgrade this Cloudflare event to a Cloudprominence or even a CloudCME.
I started up Zoom this morning and it gave me the message
"It looks like we are unable to connect. Please check your network connection and try again."
But my network connection was fine. The problem was at Zoom's end, or more precisely, Cloudflare's. (And it seems OK now.)
I'm beginning to be annoyed by this reflexive "please check _your_ network connection" coda in these messages. What it is, is victim blaming. And possibly gaslighting too. _Their_ network connection went wrong, and their immediate response is to tell all of us users that _we_ must have done something wrong. It makes us all do lots of pointless work checking things that don't need checking, and it probably makes half of us feel inadequate when we can't find any problem.
If you're _going_ to advise users to check their own network connection, take reasonable steps first to ensure the problem really does look like being at the local end. Try pinging a few other independently run well-known sites; try some DNS lookups; if you can't do _anything_, suggest the user checks their connection, but if the rest of that stuff works and only your own server can't be reached, maybe redirect to your application's status webpage instead?
reshared this
@miki but "your internet is functionally down" and "checking your internet connection would be a useful thing to do" aren't the same thing. The latter suggests there's something you can do about it, or at least something you can persuade someone you have an immediate contract with (like your ISP) to do about it!
Ah, so you basically want to assume that partial failures are far more likely to be somebody else's fault (and therefore outside of user control) than total failures. A fair assumption in most cases I guess.
I guess a better wording would be something like "try a different internet connection", as the fault may be due to e.g. having that specific service blocked by a corporate firewall.
If there was no politics in the news, the news would be very short, mainly about the weather.

I am in need of people with experience in publishing to the Apple App Store. I need help with AppTrackingTransparency and when it is (not) needed and how to solve conflicts with apple reviewers.
My problem: Apple rejects my app because I didn't implement ATT, despite the fact that I don't track users or give data to third parties for the sake of tracking or advertising. #dev #apple #apps #privacy
@svenja even anomomised analitics require it, even if it is only to disclose that the data is anonymous. IP addresses are usually collected, which, depending on the reviewer, sometimes get classified as identifiable data. It's not about what data on its own can be used to identify an individual, so much as what data could be used collectively to identify an individual or group. It really depends if the reviewer is having a good or bad day.
@fireborn @svenja Thank you for the information. What I am wondering about: How can it be that I can't remember facing this prompt at any time in other apps?
I have another question for understanding ATT. Does apple handle everything on a system level, after the ATT prompt was answered, e.g. stripping off all privacy data?
I use capacitor for my app and there is so few information about ATT and the handling of the ATT output in capacitor environments that I can't believe it.

Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.www.cloudflarestatus.com
I wonder if services such as #Cloudflare, AWS and Azure have become so complex that they are impossible to run reliably, despite having all the necessary resources and expertise.
This is probably a large scale industry mistake. In my time as a systems engineer and later a DevOps engineer, there's been a drastic push for more complex architectures. I'm not entirely sure that the drive for those architectures was genuine and I suspect a large chunk of it is resume-driven development. It's not just the services you listed, but solutions made even for enterprise self-hosting too.
the timing and frequency of these outages seem to point to staffing issues surrounding the continued forced feeding of AI into every nook and cranny.
