Microsoft is now in the process of turning off Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge, such as uBlock Origin. However, not everything is lost at this point.
More than four years in the making - my new book “Imaginary Storefronts” will be out on March 14th and is already on pre-order on several online bookstores (more details on my website)!!!!
Title: 空想店構え マテウシュ・ウルバノヴィチ作品集III Title in English: "Imaginary Storefronts" Format: 144 pages, about 19 x 26 cm Cover: Soft cover + dust jacket Language: full English and Japanese text 日本語と英語 Publisher: MdN Corp. エムディエヌコーポレーション ISBN-10: 4295207462 ISBN-13: 978-4295207467
I have two kids, aged two and five. In our home I get to see a fair amount of animated movies, and yes most of them are run over and over again as the kids for some reason like to see the same movie endless number of times.
@wolf480pl no I don't think so. I think you need to have a certain age to remember specific lines, and I also don't think those films made that strong long-lasting impressions on them
@wolf480pl I suspect one may also need to be somewhere on the spectrum, like myself and my kid. Then one can remember dialogues from hundreds of movies and episodes verbatim.

Heading towards curl release number 266 we have decided to spice up our release cycle with release candidates in an attempt to help us catch regressions better earlier.
Curl is one of these "little tools" I regularly use without really noticing it. Frankly, I'm astonished that there is still any development done, at all, as it seems to be already perfect. And how can you possibly improve perfection?!?
Anyway. This is an opportunity to say: Yay curl! 🙂
LibreOffice communities around the world help people to use the suite more effectively. Here's our Nepalese community training students on making CVs: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
The Nepalese community mentored CS50 students in Nepal create their very first resume for securing internships! Our Nepalese community writes… LibreOffice is a powerful open source office suite for many users worldwide.
Please do criticise #Mozilla – we need an independent, privacy-preserving, feature-rich web browser, not another tracking-infested piece of garbage software.
However, the frequently expressed opinion that “Firefox should be abandoned because Mozilla is the worst bullshit company” is not helpful. Without #Firefox, all your favourite forks (Tor, LibreWolf, Zen…) would struggle to survive and the Google-Apple complex would fully control the browser market.
New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.
@codecat just me going back and backfilled the list with names from the past. So the bump really would not have been there if I just had been doing my job proper from the start...

Technology developed specifically for people with low vision has historically been bespoke, specific, and expensive, requiring the creation of new technology for a relatively small population of users.

The fuck? Is this real? What drugs are they on over there? Something needs to be done about this now, enough. Do they really think the American people are just stupid?
I haven't mentioned it here, yet, but in the last few weeks I:
- Swore in and got my New Zealand citizenship - Got my New Zealand passport - Renounced my US citizenship
Things have finally slowed down where I can just absorb all of that. Giving up my citizenship was never part of the original plan but more and more it's felt like I was never moving back, especially as I watched the US from afar the last 8 years. I wrote about it here for folks curious: sophiajt.com/stopped-believing…

After reading these medium term goals, I'm honestly glad I stopped donating because I know some corporate thing will sponsor them now they will/want to add AI, even an AI Chat bot, to NVDA.
The below are just 2, but there's more AI stuff they have planned.
• Integrated AI image description: Free, secure, performant, private and VI-focussed on-device AI image description available out of the box. • Help chatbot prototype: Exploring the development of an AI-powered chatbot to provide instant support and answer frequently asked questions about NVDA.
They're things we're looking at exploring - they may or may not work out. And they're things we've been asked about repeatedly by USERS, not things we're doing to attract sponsorship. There are a handful of AI image description add-ons already, and have been for over five years. And as with any other functions, they would be there for those who wanted them, and can be ignored if not desired :)
2/2 Aside from the "A large corporate will buy them out and push their own interests" concern (not possible due to the way NV Access is structured & overseen by a board who would prevent that) - what is your worry with image description and a chatbot which scours the user guide for you? (ITo be clear, such functionality wouldn't replace the existing documentation / training material etc)
The impetus for doing any of this is 100% user wants, not corporate sponsorship. Re the chat bot, yes I tend to feel the same, I'd rather refer to the manual or material - but others (probably younger than me!) like the chat bot style - so it's worth looking into. With Image recognition, like the existing add-ons, the intent would be "something is better than nothing" - not to replace people writing proper alt text - and yes, licensing of any AI model would be a key consideration
@NVAccess Not to mention instances where the expectation isn't that good alt-text should be written, but the app should be accessible from a usability standpoint, but very much isn't. But waiting on the app to become accessible isn't an option since the thing you're trying to do with *insert inacccessible app here* can't wait. But before you ask for some sighted assistance you'd like to at least get an idea of what's on the screen so you know what to ask for.
Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
A solid indication that the #AIBubble has passed its peak is #NVDA posting massive sales and revenue, but their stock still diving because the market doesn't think it can continue growing.

Thanks! We're aware NVDA is the stock code for NVIDIA, althoguh to be honest, aside from in posts like this I've never seen anyone refer to it & doubt anyone actually searches for it as a hashtag looking for NVIDIA. I figure if we can each use hashtags which refer to their own area of interest, then people looking for stock / AI trend information, won't get bogged down with screen reader stuff - and people looking for screen reader info won't need to wade through finance info :)
