Does anyone have a huge amount of experience in running a daily driver laptop using windows on Arm? I know that jaws has an Arm variant. Of course Mac has Arm going on like a house on fire, but does the hive mind think it’d be better for my sanity to run things like email,, web, word and other basic stuff. Heavy load things like audio production/creative stuff will happen on “mini-roarbox”
in reply to Noel Romey

In the latest version of windos for arm 24h2 things have gotten better. At this point unless you need the aws workspaces driver for arm you should be ok. Arm isn't 100 percent ready yet, but it is getting close. I don't know if linux sub system for windows works on arm yet Last I checked it did not yet though.
in reply to Noel Romey

From what I have read on here though iClud doesn't work on arm as of yet so this may be an issue for you as well possibly.

I would like to see us get *well* past “accessibility is good, actually”-level talks about accessibility.

With the title of this talk, I was hoping for a case study on an open source project that put effort into having accessible tools & processes and how that made it possible for disabled devs to participate…because I think often it’s assumed that sure, disabled people can be users, but they wouldn’t be devs.

The moral meltdown at the LA Times and Washington Post is a reminder that independent journalism is needed more than ever. It's also a reminder that being an independent journalist is HARD work, with challenges the "professionals" rarely see or grasp.

I urge you to read this from Molly White (hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff), one of the best we've seen:

Please people who put on events I'm begging you, have a mailing list or a physical website where I can look up dates in advance. Just saw a post on Instagram about a craft workshop I would have liked to go to but didn't see before hand, asked the artist if she had a mailing list and was told "no but I post all my upcoming workshops on Instagram and Facebook". I don't think a lot of people realise these don't show most of your posts to your followers, and what they do show isn't chronological?
in reply to Jules

Lots of people can't use FB cos of the real name policy or it making you visible to stalkers/harassers or similar.

I have an FB but I hardly ever use it, if an event only organises via FB I won't be going. It's a social justice issue to put event info somewhere properly publicly accessible that doesn't track users.

So if my wife ever needed a miracle now would be the time. The pain from the leukemia is growing worse and worse. And it looks like she is headed for hospice very soon. Her blood counts are not rising as quickly as everyone would’ve liked. Which is what they used to determined after each cycle if the chemo is still working or not. The chemo is keeping her alive. They call it maintenance chemo. She has acute my leukemia with a TP 53 mutation. Basically it makes the type of leukemia extremely difficult to treat and almost impossible to eradicate. A bone marrow transplant is out of the question, Since the doctors are 99% sure it would kill her. Also, her heart cannot handle more toxic forms of chemotherapy. I am asking everybody to pray for my wife. So for those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please share this. I am not a very religious person, I don’t go to church every Sunday, but I am a very spiritual person.#Health #Healing #Medicine #Prayer #Hope #God #Jesus #Christian.#Fediverse #Leukemia #Cancer

William, please know that I will pray and offer for the health of your wife. I only wish that I could do more. God love you.


I wonder, what would’ve happened if WaPo just ran the endorsement - was Bezos gonna run down to the printer and shut off the press? Turn off the web site.

I know that it’s easy to say this, but… if I was EIC or whatever, I’d have tried to run the endorsement anyway. social.coop/@chrisjrn/11338000…

in reply to Joe Brockmeier

my understanding is that the sign off would have been Lewis and this guy is ultimately the one who made the call.

Air Canada has this cool system now where there are no human employees at the check in counter at all, and instead you register your baggage with a little touch screen and place it on a conveyor belt, and then the touch screen displays an error, and there's nothing you can do because there are no fucking human employees present to deal with it

Now that I have a new and improved screenshot workflow, I’m pondering whether to add more to the book. The low-vision chapter is already the most visual chapter of the whole damn thing. Maybe I just like playing with screenshot frames and image shortcuts.



Vždy keď vám pristane takáto chobotina v inboxe, môžete si ťukať na čelo, že veď predsa na takúto hlúposť nemôže nikto naletieť... Ibaže, ak by to tak bolo, nespamovali by nás tým už celé roky. Takže pozor - dajte vedieť napr. aj svojim rodičom, či starým rodičom, že toto je chobotina nonplusultra, možnože to potrebujú počuť.

Anybody remember the Toronto free ISP that would serve up ads in exchange of the free internet? This is back in 2000-ish. Nothing like dialing up on a 56k modem, only to be slowed down by ads.


I need to write about something that’s painful to put out there for me, but I need to because I know there are other people also in my position. Also apologies for the thread. I’ve seen a huge amount of calls in the past day for people to cancel their #AmazonPrime in response to the #WaPo chickening out and not endorsing Kamala Harris. In principle, I do not disagree. At all. But for me, there’s one huge, and ultimately insurmountable, problem. #Amazon has become a necessity for me. (1/3)
in reply to Kevin LaRose He/Him

Not only do I agree with you but I think this whole issue is just stupid. We live in a free society: if the owner of a newspaper doesn't want his paper to endorse a certain candidate, that's his right. Personally, I rely on news services for news and not for them to tell me who I should vote for or who they endorse. In spite of the fact that we live in a country that supposedly values freedom, you'll find yourself criticized and persecuted if you don't publicly hold to certain opinions or support certain candidates. I say to hell with all of that. Kevin, keep buying from Amazon if that's what you need to do. I know that I will.

Just had my first Starbucks coffee in nearly 10 years. I remember why I liked it, but I also remember why I gave it up. $7 for a large White Chocolate Mocha is a bit steep. It was good, but not what I want to pay on a regular basis.
in reply to Kevin

Yeah, honestly, Starbucks is suuper expensive here. I can have a whole week worth of coffee if I make my own, compared to their prices.


When you're using NVDA and forget what screen reader you are using. Yeah, that's the stuff!
in reply to Scary Martin

I struggled in my last workplace because I'd be seeing 9 or 10 students individually over a given day sometimes. I'd move from NVDA to JAWS to SuperNova, iOS to android to Keysoft and back, and then you got the odd student who were themselves in transition so would bring a different device on a different day.
in reply to Scary Martin

Or, when you use Windows but forget you're using windows and try to do something that's only working on Mac. Yeah, that's also the stuff. LOL

in reply to Day Garwood

@daygar well that's a very accepting and nicely broad definition of being deserving.
shame the history of almost every religion doesn't see the leaders living up to those standards.
As a message, I am all for a lot of religious communication. But I'm afraid the reality is often and very sadly harder to accept.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I agree. History has given just about every religion a bad name. While I admire their enthusiasm, their discernment is something else entirely. But only God truly knows and can therefore judge our hearts and intentions.
