One of the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal is that every so often, I find myself using an app I’ve used for years and thinking, “dude! I am so glad I have this app, and I am grateful for the indie developer who cares about #accessibility”.
This morning I am feeling that way about the Broadcasts app. In case you’ve not discovered it, here’s the description from the App Store.

The award-winning Broadcasts 3 introduces a brand new iPhone app, a beautiful new Now Playing screen, and a revamped Search experience. Now available on Apple Vision Pro. Listen to streaming internet radio in an ultra-simple, single-purpose app. Broadcasts makes building a library of stations from around the world easier than ever — no subscription required. Use completely free with a limited-size library of stations, or upgrade to the full version to unlock the library limit and add as many of your own stations as you like from the Station Browser, or manually via URL. Search for stations from around the world as easily as from your own library. Showcase gorgeous station and track artwork (for supported stations) with the all-new Now Playing screen. Use Shazam (Beta) to power the Now Playing screen with artwork and metadata for stations that do not provide it, or simply to provide an ambient Now Playing experience for music playing nearby. Show the currently playing artwork and metadata on external displays if you want an all-screen experience. Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV with iCloud & Universal Purchase. Browse stations in grid or list view. Listen in Light or Dark mode. Edit stations to provide your own artwork, or use the Artwork Chooser to generate something fun and colorful. Thoughtful mouse, trackpad & keyboard support provides a great experience on iPad. Perform common tasks from the Command menu, and control playback using keyboard shortcuts. Use Handoff to transfer playback between devices, or AirPlay directly to a home speaker. Listen with just your Apple Watch (Cellular) while out and about, or on Apple TV at home. Supports CarPlay on certified devices; stream internet radio on your CarPlay-enabled head unit directly. Automate playback using Shortcuts.

OK, it’s Jonathan talkin’ again now. This app is a fully accessible experience with VoiceOver. I particularly like the collections feature, because you can organise your radio stations however you like. If you want to create a system where you have your favourite stations organised by genre, knock yourself out. Or maybe you prefer to have stations you listened to regularly organised by country.
The app is updated frequently, and I do find stations in there that don’t seem to show up on some other apps.
It’s definitely worth a look if you’re after an excellent, accessible, well-supported radio app, and there’s an account for the app right here on mastodon, @broadcastsapp

Why isn’t software funded by taxpayers released as Free Software? 🤔💻

We need legislation 📜 requiring publicly financed software to be #FreeSoftware. If it’s public money 💰, it should be public code! 👨‍💻👩‍💻

Code paid by the people should be available to the people! 🙌 #PublicCode

I’m going to put my glasses on.

Just wanted to make everybody clear.

I've just finished my Lego Concorde. It was a super fun build with many interesting building techniques.

10/10 would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in the venn diagram of liking Lego and European engineering projects.

Awesome airplane too. Sad I never got to fly on it...

Hi! Hi there! We've only gone and done another #GoToSocial release candidate innit mate!

github.com/superseriousbusines…

We fixed some small bugs, did a bunch of work around release note generation (not interesting for end users but tobi had fun), and documented GTS_WAZERO_COMPILATION_CACHE and nowasm.

Please read the migration notes carefully!

This is probably the final candidate before the real 0.17.0 release when we officially enter beta, we're all very excited here in the GtS treehouse!

Release v0.17.0-rc5 · superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Here's version 0.17.0-rc5 of GoToSocial. We fixed a couple bugs! And changed some deployment stuff! And updated some library versions! Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on ...

I still want to go to Mars, but not if Elon Musk punches the ticket:

"It's not just Musk. The same goes for all the self-declared rationalists and tech-bro billionaires who think they're head and shoulders above the common herd. Far too many of them prove to be con artists, like Sam Bankman-Fried, or swollen with lethal hubris, like Stockton Rush, or wannabe mad scientists who believe that rules are for little people, like Marc Andreessen.

None of them are trustworthy. None of them have wisdom to match their wealth or their lofty rhetoric. If we're going to go to Mars—and, for the record, I do hope we eventually go to Mars—it shouldn't be the private vanity project of a billionaire. It should be a shared commitment on behalf of all humanity, with only our best representatives selected for the mission."

It's bad enough what Musk does on Earth. I don't want him controlling my oxygen supply.

Is LibreOffice ever going to behave and stop freezing whenever you do nvda+down arrow? Seriously. I installed it again on my new windows installation and quite rapidly remembered why it was I wanted ms word instead...

I can't even read a document without having to manually do it. Pathetic that it is still like this in 2024.

Build 76 of the Zoom scripts is available.
This build is temporary and is designed to get us over a period while the Zoom calendar is being redesigned.
You are likely to see more updates during November.

In recent builds of the Zoom client, a new calendar has been introduced. This is often reached on the Home Tab and the Meetings Tab.
In some builds, it is no longer possible to see all of your meetings which have been scheduled. They are only shown for the day or week selected within the calendar.
In terms of how they are displayed, this too can vary.
If a calendar is connected to Zoom, such as from Office 365 Business, the meetings are no longer shown in a list. You need to Tab through them.
If you do not have a calendar connected, the meetings are shown in a list relative to the calendar view you have selected.
Are you still with us?

In order to try to get over these issues, the scripts have had the following changes:
1. Pressing Insert+H for Hotkey Help now gives you the option, Check for Updates, right at the top of the Virtual Viewer screen. It used to be at the bottom.
2. If you press the tab key repeatedly, and you end up in the calendar area of a Tab, JAWS now says "Calendar Area".
3. If focused within the Calendar area, pressing Control+N will allow you to create a new meeting.
4. Having entered the form for creating a new meeting, some helpful prompts have been included so as to get around the way in which some of the controls work. For example in the Date field, JAWS now says, "Enter to select, then use all four arrow keys to move through dates, Enter when finished".
5. If within the calendar area, all controls should speak the appropriate label.
When focused upon days, press Up and Down arrow to move by week, Left and Right arrow to move by day.
6. When within the calendar area, you can now use the keystroke of ALT+Windows+F4 so as to close Zoom, just as you can in the main Zoom interface.

We're exhausted already, but we now get to the most important point.

7. From anywhere in Zoom, you can now press Control+Windows+S. This takes you into the web-based view of your meetings. From here you can schedule, review and start your meetings which is a much cleaner interface. This means you can disregard the calendar entirely. For now, this is the recommended option.

Best of luck!

After spending a week trying to find a durable water bottle as free of plastic as possible, I am happy to say that Soulbottles is the very best you can find in Europe, completely plastic free (including the cap).

According to their site, they donate 1 euro after each purchase for clean water, their packaging is plastic free and the padding is recycled material. Their product parts are produced in China, they pay attention to proper working hours and adequate breaks, their products are shipped via train to Germany where they are assembled, no airplanes.

Best of all, they also make glass bottles with a ceramic cap if durability is not as important. A small business absolutely worth checking out! #waterbottle #plasticFree #BuyForLife #affordable
