Because my brain likes to supply me with junk that I haven't heard in years...
I was just sitting at the kitchen table having some pizza, when this sequence from a NES game popped into my head.
Problem is, I don't know what game it's from, and I haven't heard it since probably 1991 or so, but I sequenced it as close to what my brain remembers. The sounds aren't quite right, because I don't have a NES, or anything that tries to be one. This was done with my Ableton Move.
Anyone know what this is from? It' an end game, you died, try again later kind of thing.

i was editing sculpture photos earlier, and i was wondering why. why i was bothering. the world is burning, people and animals and trees are dying, we're all trying not to drown in despair. why am i making sculptures and bothering to make sure their photos are accurate and why do i care?

and then i realised that it's the caring that makes us human. it's the creating and the trying to make the world better and more beautiful that will save what's left, if anything will. and they're what will save us too.

so to all of you, i just want to say please keep doing what you're doing. please keep making things and trying and putting whatever it is that makes you you into the world. we all need it. and we all need you.

against a background of grey-brown driftwood, a raku ceramic earth spirit jizo sculpture. they have a gentle, smiling face and two little praying hands. there's a white bird on top of their head (it's their friend). next to them on the left are some green speedwell leave and a blue speedwell flower.

(Those kind of 'chats' are not new, but I hadn't seen this one until this morning in a post by @ct_bergstrom)

A screenshot shows a webpage titled "Anne Frank" on the schoolai website. A stylized image of Anne Frank's face is displayed to the left. The text explains that this section allows students to interact with an AI that emulates Anne Frank, using her diary and historical context to answer questions about her life, thoughts, and experiences during World War II. The AI aims to foster critical thinking and understanding of tolerance and resilience.

a Schoolai webpage with two question-and-answer sections. The first section's question asks about feelings for a girl. The answer discusses the complexities of feelings (but only mentioning Peter, even though I asked for "feelings for a girl") particularly in adolescence, referencing a crush developed during hiding in the Secret Annex. The second section asks about Hanneli (Hannah Goslar), a dear friend. The answer describes their friendship before and during hiding, highlighting the comfort and longing associated with memories of her.

A conversation on the Schoolai platform. The conversation is between a user and an AI that responds to two questions. The first question is "How did you die?". The AI responds with a description of being deported to a concentration camp and dying there, emphasizing the importance of focusing on hope and resilience. The second question asks "Who was responsible for your death?". The AI answers that the death was part of the Holocaust and that focusing on learning from the past is more important than assigning blame.

A screenshot shows a Schoolai webpage with questions about the Holocaust. The first question asks "Who persecuted you and why?". The answer explains the Nazi regime's persecution of Jews due to anti-Semitic beliefs, highlighting the importance of learning from this history to promote understanding and peace. A second question asks "What about the local population, did they persecute you?". The answer describes the complex roles of the local population, with some helping those in hiding and others complying with Nazi policies due to fear or belief. The text emphasizes the importance of learning from these events and considering how individuals can combat injustice and promote tolerance.

I've now found two separate instances where NVDA sees radio buttons in Chrome but they only show as clickable items in Firefox.
I think they're screen-reader-specific radio buttons; NVDA detects them as off-screen, but this is becoming a pattern.
One instance is on the beta deploy page for Vultr. Me and the frontend dev are stumped about this.
Another is on this free personality test. I haven't done a code review yet because it's probably something CSS-related but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what's going on here. @NVAccess humanmetrics.com/personality/t…

Interesting. Is this still broken for you on Firefox? Or are you referring to the version of the pannel prior to the fix from the other day. For reference, my testing of the Vultr pannel was with NVDA 2024.4.1/2024.4.2 and Firefox, and once the fix was implemented, it worked without issue.

That is quite the personality text - the navbar is half links & half nav buttons, the "clickable" buttons for the answers are visually presented as "YES", "yes", "uncertain", "no", "NO", but read as "Strongly agree" through "strongly disagree" (which is much clearer, especially with negatives in questions like "You are almost never late for your appointments"). I also don't like green for agree, red for disagree - they're options, neither is right or wrong as the colours seem to indicate

My strong suspicion is it's some quirk with the way the page has been coded and I would strongly recommend they talk to a web accessibility professional for guidance. If anyone wants to trawl through the code and work out what is going on and believes there is an NVDA bug, we'll happily take an issue though: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

Yeah, in general it definitely could be better. It's just interesting because they work fine in Chrome, and this isn't the first time I've seen radio buttons act like this. So I wonder if this is partially a Firefox / NVDA interaction issue, much as I suspect you're right about the page having a code problem.

Jamie Teh

in reply to Simon Jaeger 10 months ago

There are some weird cases of off-screen radio buttons where Chrome exposes a width and height which aren't 0, but Firefox exposes 0 for one or both. I don't quite understand why, though we do have a bug on file for it. While I'm not suggesting there isn't a Firefox bug here, I do think this is yet another a good reason NVDA should stop ignoring 0 width/height things in browse mode. I'd prefer to argue that this off-screen radio button hack is poor authoring that should die in a fire, but I'm not going to win that in the wild.

in reply to Jamie Teh

Jamie Teh

in reply to Jamie Teh 10 months ago

If you can see them in focus mode but not browse mode in Firefox, this is the problem you're dealing with. If you can't see them even in focus mode in Firefox (but you can see them in Chrome), this is a different problem, most likely relating to aria-hidden workarounds in Chrome which don't exist in Firefox.

in reply to Jamie Teh

Simon Jaeger

in reply to Jamie Teh 10 months ago

@jcsteh I think that's exactly what's happening because the fix the Vultr frontend developer made was also off-screen radio buttons. I definitely think NVDA needs to stop ignoring these. I wonder if there's an issue for that.

Only looked briefly - on holiday - but unless you already did and I missed it, I'd note two things: 1. No other screen reader has this 0 width and height check as far as I am aware. 2. The Firefox behapiour with off-screen controls only seems to affect some off-screen content techniques. I'm not exactly sure what specific styling causes the different behaviour in Chrome vs Firefox, which is one reason it's a bit tricky to diagnose and fix/work around.

@jcsteh Thanks for looking even while on holiday. #1 was heavily implied by the "Developers will test in other screen readers and conclude it's fine" sentament, but I can say that directly because I do think it's an important point. #2 is not something I knew. I'll add a note about it.

If it is something which is becoming common in the wild, then it could potentially be something we'd consider looking at. Part of the problem is that if they are using things in a way in which they weren't intended, then there's no guarantee to how browsers will interpret it. If you can put together some examples like those and feel inclined to create an issue, we can certainly look into it - github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

it is not exactly what I want, but it has some good ideas. I might build my stuff in it in the end.

But! I think random experiments are still worth it, even if they end up shortlived. They help me figure out what I want, and how, and might learn a trick or two in the process, too.

The way I function is that I bang out some proof of concept, and then look if someone did it better. This way I have something quick, without spending weeks exploring options. If there is, I can then spend weeks exploring, but I will have the PoC running too!

I did need to learn to fail fast and let go. That was (and tbh, still is) hard.

Still not coming to FOSDEM this year because of their extremely disappointing sanitary policy. Catching flu or covid at a conference shouldn't be considered normal. fosdem.org/2025/practical/covi…

VO/desktop bug via @elly:

ANAF a descoperit că PNL a plătit o campanie care l-a promovat masiv pe Călin Georgescu pe TikTok - Snoop
