in reply to Marek Macko

Thanks for the heads up @Marek Macko. A while ago I had some patches that improved tab key navigation in the @Mixxx DJ Software preferences window. Perhaps I should revisit that and try to polish it for one of the upcoming releases. Making the main window and actuall mixxx controls accessible to the platform specific apis is beyond my skills I am afraid but I already have some experiments i.e. sending mixxx control states through the controller API and using virtual midi port to read it and pass it to screen reader for text to speech. On linux this is already working for me with orca.
Another approach I haven't yet tested but am just thinking of might be reusing platform specific notification channels such as interfacing directly with a screen readers on windows such as #nvdasr controler client and using announcement role on linux to generate voice prompts for the screen readrers. This might have a similar effect to the end user than the virtual midi port but will be built into mixxx it-self.
@Mixxx DJ Software have you also got some ideas related to this please?

The subscription economy, frankly, sucks.

We’re told repeatedly that it’s just the price of one coffee a month, but the combined cost of every single tool, service, app and game demanding one coffee a month becomes the equivalent of paying for enough caffeine to poison even the strongest constitution.

Je to neuvěřitelných 40 let, co vznikla legendární fotografie, na které se Bruce McCandless vznáší mimo raketoplán bez jištění a používá k tomu osobní manévrovací zařízení Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU).

Tento způsob volného pohybu byl použit jen na třech misích raketoplánu. Po havárii raketoplánu Challenger v roce 1986 byl projekt MMU vyhodnocen jako nebezpečný a byl zastaven. #nasa

OpenSSL QUIC: "IMO the performance issues [in curl] are less of a concern than they are for server-side applications"

Well...I'll write that down here and we'll let our power users decide.💁🏻‍♂️

"Making iron, the main ingredient of steel, takes a toll on Earth’s delicate atmosphere, producing 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Now, a team of chemists has come up with a way to make the business much more eco-friendly by using electricity to convert iron ore and salt water into metallic iron and other industrially useful chemicals".

Vyrazili jsme s rodinou zeny za kulturou do Mlade Boleslavi. Dejvicke divadlo privezlo hru Kazdy ma svou pravdu. Je to prilezitost napsat o hre, ze to byla fakt blbost.

Nejvic zaujalo, kdyz si Hynek Cermak ksandou vyrazil oko. Jestli to bylo ve scenari, tak klobouk dolu za obetavost!

Delat humor v Cesku je tezke. Za socialismu tvorili nejlepsi cesti herci paradni scenky, ktere hltame dodnes a tak hra pusobi jako silvestrovska revue.

Neztrojanovali jsme zadne chlebicky.

Could I please ask people to share this Go Fund Me again? It turns out my being able to skip a week is dependent on how my labs turn out. It's not an automatic thing. So I went last Monday and I've gotta go again this coming Monday, and after that, who knows? So it's still going to take at least some more money than I thought. Thanks!

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."
