At the moment, Voice Dream Reader is actually fairly stable, at least for me, but lately I've using the ElevenLabs Reader to read text files, although I'll continue to use VDR for mp3 files. It just seemed to be having several issues a while back which were really frustrating me. Applause was really trying to address them and I appreciate that but all I wanted was to listen to a book. I didn't feel like having to troubleshoot the app or to go through a lot of steps just to import a book. Considering that the app seemed so stable when it was being developed by its former owner, this was putting a bad taste in my mouth.
Every time I reload a new instance of Xplorer2, it reverts to the ribbon. This would be bad enough, but NVDA is completely unable to interact with this ribbon in any way and just throws an error whenever I try. So I have to unload NVDA and load Narrator so I can change my file explorer back to a normal menu bar. If I don't do that, NVDA makes at least two error sounds every time I change folders, even if I don't interact with the ribbon.
The last time I wrote to support about this, they seemed supremely uninterested in doing the slightest bit of work to figure out an accessibility issue, so I would either need to spoonfeed them the answer or just stop using it altogether.
It's very powerful, but is becoming more of a pain than a help for typical file browsing, and the SysListView32 hack is a real game changer that affects file explorer itself but also the open/save dialogs in Windows. It speeds things up significantly, and the lag in Windows 7/10 File Explorer was really the main reason I switched in the first place.

Added some post embeds for bluesky and mastodon to the sidebars of my articles, built with web components!
Example! heather-buchel.com/blog/2024/0…
Highly recommend taking a look at @DavidDarnes blog posts for implementation. I started with that as a base then chopped it up a bit since I can hardcode a bit of it.

Decentralised social media site Bluesky has gone down under the load of new users.
Not to worry, I'll just use one of the other decentralised instances. One of the many wonders of decentralisation.
... What do you mean, there aren't any?
... If a central server goes down, I can't get onto this oh-so-decentralised network?
I guess this must just be how decentralisation works!

After exploring #R2E, I've decided it might not be the best fit for my needs. Here's why:
1. R2E doesn't support #Inoreader's #OPML format, requiring manual feed addition.
2. I realized I have many feeds and need a more comprehensive solution.
I'm now considering #Miniflux, which can manage #RSS feeds, #Podcasts, and #YouTube subscriptions in one place.
Until I get my #RaspberryPi for Christmas, I'm weighing two options:
1. Self-host Miniflux on my #Windows PC using #Docker
2. Use their $15/year hosted plan temporarily
Fellow #techies, especially those interested in #accessibility and #SelfHosting: What would you recommend? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

The feature, called "inactivity reboot," will make life harder for thieves, law enforcement, and forensic experts trying to extract data from iPhones.

yikes, bsky removing or labeling Palestinian accounts as spam, ostensibly because they are following too many people or posting gofundmes, but according to these threads the problem looks too widespread to just be a coincidence from e.g. automated flagging. Can't find any response from their mod team. Composable moderation is good but i am not sure how the atproto labeling model addresses the baseline problem of scaling suspensions/bans - either they take a very light touch and you get a flood of nazis, or you need to lean on automated tools or overworked mods without enough context which has (hopefully accidentally, but still really bad) impacts like this.
