I was so burned by the Roku mandatory ToS thing that I’m back to PCs on my main TVs. Canceled my streaming service and I’m mostly watching IPTV/YouTube/FAST now.

I can even watch 4 to 9(!) streams at a time with vidgrid.tk.gg.

My other main tool is termv, a CLI app that downloads a catalog of 15k+ free IPTV streams and plays them in mpv. github.com/Roshan-R/termv

All on a silent 9th gen i5 mini PC I paid like $150 for. A+++ would fly solo again

GAAD 2024 and Google: 8 new accessibility updates across TalkBack, Lookout, Maps and more:

Did you know you can use the Outlook app for Android with DAVx5 synced calendars? You can! - that's something we didn't know for ourselves actually - and people asked us about this for a lot of times :D

We've written a guide so that everyone can use it - if they prefer that app (although Outlook is not open source of course):

Get your hands on the Librem 14! With its powerful hardware, including an Intel processor and integrated Intel Graphics, it's perfect for 4K video and light gaming. Plus, the added security features like hardware kill switches make it an ideal choice for privacy-conscious users. #Librem14 #Purism

There's a nice article out there by @jzb summarizing @matt's recent #OSSNA presentation on his work on #AccessKit and "Newton", the new #accessibility architecture for #Wayland and the future of #GNOME & #Linux for assistive technologies: lwn.net/Articles/971541/

Je to všude asi stejné. Pamatuju jak před lety dělal Casey Neistat o překážkách/autech na cyklostezce videa z NYC.

Wikipedia mentions that it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day on the English version's main page, but to create an account on there and many of the Wikimedia Foundation's other projects you have to complete an inaccessible captcha. They offer an option for someone to create an account for you if you can't fill it in, but that's not good enough.
There's been a ticket open about this since 2006 according to the date stamp and nothing's been done.

This Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we have something special to share! @github made a movie about our founders Mick & Jamie & the story of not only NVDA, but also OSARA. Two life-changing open-source projects. Both actively providing access & employment to blind people around the world.

Read the article here: github.com/readme/featured/nvd…

GitHub produced a great mini documentary about my work with @michaeldcurran, @Scott and others to create both #NVDASR and #OSARA.

To follow up on the post from @fedora that I just boosted (fosstodon.org/@fedora/11245033…), I'd like to thank @sovtechfund for funding my work on @gnome accessibility, and acknowledge that they're also funding other, more immediate work on GNOME accessibility, including the Spiel speech framework (project-spiel.org/) and a variety of improvements to the Orca screen reader. My project might be getting the most attention, but it's not the only important work happening in this area.


For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!

#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.

MattKC has a great short video about it:

Now is the best chance for us to have governments make laws protecting games from systemic destruction!

Australians - HURRY!
