This one made me chuckle, from GPT's "year end review": "If 2025 gave out awards, you'd get: Most Likely to Reboot Reality with a USB Stick For the one who can resurrect any Pi, outwit any driver, and still debate the ARIA role of a snackbar at 3 A.M." Amused.
I'm so glad NVDA, Narrator, Orca, VoiceOver, TDSR, and Fenrir exist. I'm so, so glad JAWS is not the only desktop screen reader, and that FS did not persue JAWS for Mac.
I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.
Important: admins of Conduit-derived homeservers (Conduit, Continuwuity, Grapevine and Tuwunel) should update immediately to address a critical bug in the federation implementation that is being actively exploited: github.com/continuwuity/contin…
### Impact
This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to force the target server to cryptographically sign arbitrary membership events. The flaw exists because the server fails...

For the love of Bob I'm begging people to stop putting unnecessary electronics in fucking everything.
My new fridge has a screen, with capacitive buttons that don't even seem to always do the same thing. So no adjusting the fridge for me. Then, more egregiously, I got a water filter jug, and it has a tiny screen in it, for some reason. Presumably because sighted people are incapable of tasting when the filter needs replacing, or god forbid putting a note in their bloody calendar to change the damn thing.
I love gadgets, but this is just fucking silly. Mountains and mountains of ewaste and it's all this sort of useless shit.
My parents have a coffee machine with some kind of OS in it. It has a language selector, reflowable pop-ups, and a coffee list that changes order based on frequency / recent use.

Ein wenig Feiertagslektüre in Form von 21 #eBooks macht sich gerade auf den Weg zu ebooks.qumran.org/
Ich wünsche allen Leseratten schöne Feiertage – sei es das Julfest, das Fest am "extrem beleuchteten Nadelgehölz mit Religionshintergrund", oder welches andere Lichterfest das Eure ist. Möge es Euch Licht, Wärme, Ruhe, und Frieden bringen!
@Bri I saw a post on facebook that said this was one of your favorite Christmas songs. I couldn't get you anything for a physical gift this year so I made you this. Happy Christmas best mew friend.

I added a sentence to the #curl hackerone submission page:
"Please present your case briefly and to the point. Do not use an AI to help you blab hundreds of lines that will exhaust us to death instead of making us understand your claim."
This has triggered an (probably not really) interesting question in my head; do you gather any statistics on the first language that submitters speak / write? i.e Percentage by English speakers, Swedish speakers etc. This was prompted by me wondering how many people are using AI to translate and ending up being very wordy (as opposed to the AI slop problem).
a translation doesn't magically convert a succinct report into a several hundred lines long word salad. This is not the results of translation services.
I thought maybe I should explain my thought process to what had fairly randomly caused me to wonder if you knew anything about the first language of the submitters.
Maybe the redactions in the Epstein files were just highlights done with a Pantone colour, but since Adobe stopped paying the license the software turned them all black.
Shit is getting weird out there... oh wait, I mean same as it ever was.
"Two young #Jewish #children at #Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport were harassed by a man who called them ‘pig,’ ordered them to dance, and threatened to snatch their #kippas if they did not ‘#freePalestine,’ according to footage circulating on social media this week.
The man who accosted the children filmed the video himself and addressed them in both #French and #English.
“Are you gonna free #Palestine, bro?’ the man asked, adding, “If you don’t free them, I’ll snatch your hat, bro.”

When you try to fix things with someone that you didn't do anything wrong to but have to apologise anyway because that's what they expect, it tears me the fuck up.
How does the Shadow DOM appear in the accessibility tree?
Browsers flatten the shadow tree when building the accessibility tree. Flattening removes the accessibility boundary of the shadow root and exposes the internal nodes as if they were normal children in the accessibility tree, not the DOM tree.
арахнофобия - это расстройство и его лечат. но в ходе лечения арахнофобии людям не рассказывают, что каракурты безопасны, их нужно развести в доме как можно больше, играть с ними и чесать им спинки.
@ZBennoui Nah, just used what was in that Maschine Kit. I "love how dynamic it is. Not too much goes in to these videos. I just record, play, and post.
Sometimes I think that I want to talk to people, but then when people come along and say, so what do you wanna talk about, I got nothin'. I think what I mean is, I want a friend I can sit in companionable silence with until an interesting thought crosses one of our minds, and we can take it from there.
I feel this so much I'm the same way. I have no idea how to talk to people lol. I mean if we have common interests it's pretty easy, but if I'm out somewhere and someone approaches me or whatever, it takes me a bit to figure out what to say.
Under the ADA, state and local governments, public schools, community colleges, and public universities will soon have to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA. Depending on the size of the population served, entities have until April 2026 and April 2027 to comply.

Fun with Codex this weekend. Updated my goofy little AI Space game, now renamed Space Junk. Now invaders will move around as they fall on higher levels, also centralized a lot of game logic between this and the music scale game. i.e. screen reader buffers, music/game volume. Goal is to build on this structure and add more silly little timewasters. Ideas welcome. Games at bestmidi.com/games
Tips for pre-planning student access needs in programming and coding courses, and proactively addressing accessible coding barriers through pre-teaching programming languages
Tradiční vánoční Koledomat, jízda po městě se stoletým evangelickým harmoniem. Letos bez basy, ale zato s vynikající perkusivní formou na bábovku od Tescomy. Zakončili jsme v našem komunitním centru, kde nám roj dětí udělal díru do hlavy. Je to radost!
There should be a law that prohibits online service companies from *requiring* phone numbers to create an account. Have you noticed how difficult it is to sign up for any online service these days unless you have a phone number? Why do I have to pay a subscription to a third party to use your service? Why is a tithe to a phone company a requirement to access your online product?

This is for any screen reader users who also do code review, merge/pull request management, that kind of thing: how do you do it? I'll slowly get more and more of that sort of task in the coming months. Merge conflicts are bad enough to deal with, and that's for code I wrote. How do I deal with blame, conflicts, diffs, change history, and the like efficiently?
There is a VS Code Gitlab addon. I'm pretty sure it can do accessible PR reviews, though I haven't had to do that in two years, so I may be confusing it with the Github one which definitely can.
Ubuntu-based elementary OS 8.1 is now available with the Wayland-based Secure Session set as the default and fixes over 1,100 reported issues. linuxiac.com/elementary-os-8-1…
Today I checked elementary OS's website, because I was curious if elementary OS 8.1 had released yet. And nothing. It turns out I just checked two hours early, because it just released right now!
It brings fractional display scaling. Finally! I have been whining about this for way too long. And now it's here. The Wayland session is now the default session, and a lot of other goodies, and as always with elementary, a huge focus on accessibility, which couldn't be a bigger deal.
Huge props to the @elementary team, and congratulations to them!
My laptop is giving me the side-eye right now. It knows what's about to happen. :D
Viewpoint 2.0 just has been released. The update includes support for Gemini 3, improved speed, the removal of the deprecated 2.0 models, better PDF support, drag-and-drop support, and more.
So a new mod of the Natural Voice SAPI Adapter has become available which resolves NVDA 64-bit not being able to expose the true HD quality when Microsoft Ava and Microsoft Andrew offline voices are used. The caveat is increased stuttering even on powerful machines. Grab it directly from here: github.com/user-attachments/fi…
