Isto não foi uma operação de policiamento visível, foi uma clara medida de intimidação discriminatória. E ser um país onde a polícia recebe ordens para parar pessoas na rua com base no tom de pele, não é o futuro que quero para Portugal.

Montenegro considerou a “operação especial de prevenção criminal”, que decorreu esta tarde e da qual resultou uma detenção, “muito importante”. Esquerda fala em acção desproporcional e quer ouvir MAI.

Day 20 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. There is an option for the user to request an experience with Reduce Motion, and we should honor it. If your app has animations, make sure to check if the user has this setting on. Here are three examples where Apple does a great job.

UIKit: developer.apple.com/documentat…

SwiftUI: developer.apple.com/documentat…

#365DaysIOSAccessibility

Calendar of Advent of iOS Accessibility. Day 20. Reduce Motion. Three examples. In the App Store app, Apple sometimes has tiles with icons from apps or games that continuously moves for the user to get a sneak peek of all the icons. The second one is the Weather app, where there are quite realistic animations of the weather conditions in the background. The third one is the Stocks app. If you open one of your symbols, there is a banner at the top where your symbols keep automatically scrolling mimicking what you see on tv. In all these three cases, Apple completely stops the animations if Reduce Motion is on.

This is what Disney has deleted from Pixar's Win or Lose. This beautiful, moving, relatable sequence that would've meant so much to so many kids for years to come was not worth the risk of controversy to them.

Trans art is being censored. Our stories are being erased.

So I want people to see this.

so, am i getting this right: Luigi Mangione is charged with terrorism, even though he targeted one person and didn’t mass shoot a whole school filled with children?

and they are charging him with terrorism, in New York City? as in MY NYC? the NYC where the median for poverty has been adjusted to $60K/year for a family of 4?

the NYC where Bill De Blasio was terrorized by the NYPD because he wanted to cut their budget to give NYCers free basic health care?

BRB updating my jury duty status

photo of luigi mangione in standard issue prison orange jumpsuit, escorted by a sea of NYPD dark blue. two rows behind him, the corrupt former cop and mayor of nyc, Eric Adams, is strategically placed so any photos of Mangione will show him behind him.

I understand. I don't know what this particular developer knows about what's currently available but bear in mind that the idea is for this appllication to use a Raspberry Pi rather than the cloud for image processing. This potentially makes the solution extremely affordable, as well as private.

Time Capsule turns Apple's AirTag into a rugged tracker with 10 years of battery life
"...Time Capsule is an Apple AirTag accessory that promises to extend battery life up to a full decade. To use it, simply remove your AirTag's back plate and the coin cell battery and place the entire unit on the contact points inside the Time Capsule. Then, install two AA batteries and screw the cover closed. "

Time Capsule turns Apple's AirTag into a rugged tracker with 10 years of battery life

The latest creation out of Elevation Lab solves this issue and more but introduces its own set of compromises.

Adding @NVAccess to this. In my opinion, using a term like "announce-only" or "announcement only" mailing list might have clarified this for some users. Users who are already subscribed to the NVDA discussion list on Groups.io might have found this announcement just a bit confusing because they'll just conclude that they already are subscribed to a mailing list from NV Access. To be clear, this appears to be an announce only list specifically operated by them. I'm glad they're doing this as I'm sure there are many people who just want information about what's happening with NV Access without having to deal with questions and comments from users.

@cachondo Fair point. Hopefully most people are aware that the list at nvda.groups.io/g/nvda is community run, and not from NV Access, but yes, the post here could have been worded differently - it's always hard trying to squeeze as much info into a social media post as possible AND as clearly and concisely as possible :)

nvda groups.io Group

NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) is screen reader software.  The central purpose of this group is discussing *how to use NVDA*.  This includes configuring NVDA's settings or familiarizing oneself with its modes and commands.

New article about my experience as a long-term cuckcake just dropped 🥰 kinkhouseofo.com/index.php/202…

The Cake - House of O

A recent writing posted by Mr O reminded me that I’ve been meaning to write about my own experience as a long-term cuckcake! Since I’ve only engaged in this dynamic with O and toy I will be writing from a very personalized perspective.

BestSpeak 0.16 (eurpod.com/BestSpeak.nvda-addo…): Changed self.executor to only allow a single thread worker to perhaps address TTS stability even further. If you've had issues, do test this out - again I notice a very slight performance decrease when you hold down your tab key in terms of how much of the first syllable it gets out before cutting itself off, but this may be the price we live with. I'm personally OK with that. I suppose anyone can change their line back to 4 again if they feel having it be a single worker is a big decrease. For the safety of others having the squeal / memory corruption issue, it's worth it.
Remember that BestSpeak came out at a time when having a multicore processor was not even a thing. One core, 1 thread for most processors. The DLL just can't handle concurrency well.

@joshknnd1982 DECTalk is interesting as it was hacked to use Nvwave player. The engine produces audio data in memory. The code then manually pulls that audio from the DECtalk buffers and feeds it to a WavePlayer class, which manages audio output independently. Essentially, DECtalk is bypassing the engine’s internal audio device selection and handling all audio routing at the application level, but something like that is impossible to do with BestSpeech.
