A five-year-old bug which terribly affects NVDA's ability to interact with Windows 10/11's language switcher via ALT+SHIFT or Windows+Space. I get the point about bug priorities, but doesn't something as pestering and duplicable as this one deserve to be fixed more quickly? After many years of tolerating this and with more multilingual passages that I should handle daily, I'm seriously about to throw in the towel and switch to JAWS. Please check the last 3 comments: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

@jonathan859 Honestly it's not that JAWS is perfect - it also has its own issues. However, basic stuff like ALT+SHIFT to alter languages there works flawlessly, MS Office support is better with more hotkeys to access various areas, and it doesn't suffer from NVDA's verbosity for going into and out of nested HTML elements. JAWS also handles language support more gracefully so, unlike NVDA, if you enable TTS language-switching for a profile, it won't apply it to other voice profiles. And with JAWS, unlike NVDA, if you press ALT+SHIFT to alter the typing language, the TTS language will also be altered.

Fossil-Energie-Lobbyisten bezahlten offenbar Geld an einen Verein für exklusiven Zugang als „Ehrengäste“ zu nicht öffentlichen Hinterzimmertreffen mit Verkehrsminister Wissing.

Und wir dachten, Klimaaktivisten bräuchten Trecker und Misthaufen, um Gehör zu finden. Dabei braucht es einfach nur genug KOHLE fürs "visiting with Wissing".

Es ist wirklich eine Schande, wie unser aller Lebensgrundlage von sogenannten Verantwortungsträgern verhökert wird.

Lobbyskandal: Hinterzimmer-Treffen mit Wissing gegen Geld?

ZDF frontal liegen neue interne Dokumente des Verkehrsministeriums vor. Die zeigen, wie eng die Absprachen zwischen Ministerium und dem Lobbyverein Mobil in Deutschland waren.

As I understand the BSOD today became more popular than ever, truly becoming mainstream and reported about all over the news. Of course, in systemd we are ahead of the curve, as usual, and if you too want to experience your very own BSOD we have your back. Enjoy:

Everyone's disability is different. I am constantly struggling to make fonts large enough that I can actually discern / read them while fitting enough on the screen to do the thing I need.

Trying to visually disambiguate a 1-2 pixel wide line among a SEA of swimming characters is an INCREDIBLE struggle for me.

In addition to being blind in one eye and low vision in the other, I have astigmus, so my eye literally jumps around uncontrollably.

This is why accessibility is SO challenging.

Überlegungen zum #FahrradFreitag

Jetzt könnte man sagen, es kollidieren Interessen im August - die #CMKoeln vs. @SheDrivesMobility

Ob die #FahrradbubbleKöln eine Begegnung der beiden Veranstaltungen hinbekommt? Vielleicht radelt die #cmcologne ja gegen 18.15h über die Universitätsstraße, dumdidum. Und #katjadiehl, @kidicalmasskoeln und @radkomm holen gerade nochmals etwas frische Luft am #AlbertusMagnus -Denkmal, dumdidum.

@fahrradkoeln, wie steht's?
Katja, wäre das möglich?

Reports suggest that Sky News has also been affected, leaving many to beg Microsoft to not fix the outage.

NBN users in Australia have yet to notice the outage, thinking it is just the NBN running at normal speed.
