@jscholes clever, took me a minute there!
The wife insists it is a 'Summer House' and half of it will be used for 'Enjoying the nice weather' when we have it.

It’s #InternationalMensDay today.
This isn’t a laughing matter. As the trustee of a charity dedicated to stamping out domestic violence, I know that almost all of this (97% +) is perpetrated on women by men. That doesn’t mean that men don’t experience domestic violence too. And yes, NOT ALL MEN, etc.
Lots of men are struggling. Suicide rates are shockingly high and toxic male role models are everywhere.
Today, let’s try to help each other be better. Have a great day.

If you are a WhatsApp user, then it's worth checking the size of the following folder if you find your main OS drive feels a little slim on space.
Hopefully, copy/pasting this into the run dialog or address bar should take you straight to it:
%localappdata%\Packages\5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_cv1g1gvanyjgm\LocalState\shared
In here is a folder called 'Transfers' which is all the downloaded audio, photo and video from your various chats. It's safe to delete this, as it can just pull from the server again if needed.
Cleared out 4GB when I did this on one of my systems, and just over 800 MB on another.

Huh.
So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?
A mile is 1.609 kilometers.
The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.
So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc
5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.
etc etc.
Kinda neat IMO.

I am probably going to switch full-time to using a Mac again next month, with Windows usage through a virtual machine when I need it.
Pretty much everything I regularly do on Windows can be done on Mac OS. I no longer do some of the more esoteric stuff I once did, I'm not in a professional environment where use of Microsoft Office is required, etc.
What I am not sure of, however, is the state of accessibility in regards two track audio editirs.
I do 99.999% of my work, even basic stuff, in Reaper, and I know that will work just fine on Mac OS. However, I also sometimes need to work with raw audio, and for that, I once used SoundForge, now GoldWave on Windows. That's one thing Reaper can't do.
Yes, I could use a tool like SoX or ffmpeg to convert between file formats and all that, but often, I need to deal with files exactly as they are.
I don't need a ton of functionality. Any real heavy stuff I would do in Reaper.
Given the Audacity controversy a few years ago, I haven't bothered looking to see what's up there, and for as little as I need it, I couldn't justify the price of SoundForge Pro 3 for Mac. Apparently, Magix couldn't either, because they are no longer developing the Mac version of SoundForge.
So, anyhow, for those who have to deal with headerless files (ulaw, PCM, etc.) and also need Voiceover accessibility, what are the options these days?

Echando una mano a un compañero que está preparando promoción interna para el A2. Por suerte aún me acuerdo de las cosas, y los conceptos básicos (leyes de procedimiento) no se olvidan.
One concern I do have is that NVDA necessarily registers for notification events globally, which means that a notification event flood from a background terminal is going to impact performance. Hopefully terminal manages notification events better than it does text events. We shall see.
Also, any idea why tmux seems to redraw the entire screen after an alert message (like "Can't find window: 1")disappears? I haven't found a way to disable that. Disabling indn doesn't fix it.
indn@ disables the \33[2S part of the sequence, so now it has to send something else, in my case "\33[30;120H\n\n\33[29;1Htest\33[K\r\n\33[K".
I guess whatever's generating the notifications for Windows Terminal doesn't like scrolling with escape sequences, but the absolute positioning works fine.
I haven't found a fix for redrawing after the messages either, but it happens so infrequently I can just ignore it.
Another problem is that text gets split up sometimes, for example paste in It’s and press enter. Notice the unicode apostrophe. tmux does weird things with cursor movement there, and nothing handles that well. Most of my usage is with tdsr outputting to NVDA, and I don't need to disable indn. It just reads the bytes as they come in.
Windows Terminal fails the basics, I can't press Alt+letter without NVDA re-reading the focus.
Interestingly, if I set my speech mode to beeps, that's also very laggy. I guess it's expensive to continually generate and play the tone, even if we stop it very quickly.

Spotted on a Tuesday in small city Aotearoa #newzealand
A woman with an artfully messy topknot (60s) returning library books with a friend. She says loudly, "Did you know there's a huge seniors swinger community here?"
Her friend laughs, "Yeah. EVERYONE knows that!"
She huffs, "I didn't!"
Two men in hi vis vests striding into a supermarket. The older (60s?) says to the younger (early 20s?) "You can't go wrong with croissants, mate. Women are always impressed if they come over and see a croissant. They're like MAGIC."
A stocky man in a Grateful Dead T-shirt (70s?) enters a cafe and announces: "I know it's not my usual day, but I really need that coffee."
The barista who's just greeted him by name makes his regular.
A woman (40s) pausing at a crosswalk leading to a diverse bunch of locals meeting in support of the Hīkoi mo te Tiriti in Wellington. She grins as she comments on the size of crowd only for her teen daughter to gently but firmly hustle her forward. The vibe is community.
A beaming man (50s) walking down the street talking on his phone: "Mum, Taylor passed his maths exam. I didn't think he'd do it but he did. I'm so bloody proud of him, eh."
Any typos in this post are highly amused after overhearing in the cookbook section of a library that there's not only one but two active senior swinger communities in this rather small Kiwi city who are apparently warring with each other. If spotted please impress typos with a croissant.
Tomorrow, I am doing my exit interview on RNZ’s Nine to Noon. I’ll be talking about my new role in the USA and the technological challenges and opportunities blind people face, and reflecting on why New Zealand is such a difficult country to be a blind person or otherwise disabled. One of the benefits of being on the way out is that I can speak my truth, and believe me, I intend doing exactly that.
Times are subject to change but at this stage it is the first item, right after the 9 AM news on Wednesday.

in reply to Eden Linnea • • •- I split vacation days to only one single Friday of the week for a month and usually coming back on Monday I'm not overwhelmed by what has come up in Slack and meetings.
- Take days when work is a bit slower, like Christmas or holidays, but the downside that you travel with the pack, so to speak (So for me I'm limiting it to local-ish travel to destinations that are no more than an hour away from home.)
Sadly in a world where a lot changes or the work can pile up quickly if not attended to, this can be harder said than done, so I do get the feeling. Hope you can find a break soon.
