hey, @NVAccess PR github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/… referencing issue github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… can we get someone with the power to review and murge this? Downloading the alpha's manually is, to quote the comment on the PR, painful, and this needs to be seen to because I'd really hate to see this get missed and make it into beta, or to the horror the next public release. Thanks for taking the time to look into this. Respectfully, a user who misses auto updating and hates having to keep checking the snapshots page to update his NVDA alpha rlease copy manually.

So if you ever wanted proof that quoting/repeating/screengrabbing posts that you disagree with is just a way to give free air to those views, consider how JKR just helped @vagina_museum with her disapproving remarks on their fundraising efforts.

Financovani gastro provozu musi byt peklo. Z mnoha duvodu (prodavaji neplatcum, operuji kolem danove nevyhodne hranice obratu, maji velky podil prace na cene...). A provozovatele to resi ruzne. Lepe i hure.

V Liberci mam rad jednu hospodu. Vyborne jidlo, pivo, rad tam chodim. Akorat tam obcas berou karty a obcas ne. Terminaly na ruzne firmy (jina firma na raut na obed, jina na vikend...).

Sem se na ne podival v rejstriku... nevim jestli to neni uz moc.

Tesla stans: "that Mark Rober video is fake—at the very end, Autopilot was off!"

People who actually pay attention to Tesla: "yeah, there seems to be this funny issue where Autopilot turns off before an imminent crash, which is pretty shady behavior likely related to trying to dodge responsibility for their failures. Thank you *so much* for bringing this matter to everyone's attention."

Tesla stans: 😞

Honored. Inspired. Driven.

Last week at #CSUN2025, we had the incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside some of the most innovative minds in accessibility and assistive technology. As a fully remote team, gathering in person is always meaningful, but being part of conversations that shape the future of our technology makes it even more special.

We’re grateful for the chance to hear from industry leaders, learn from fellow innovators, and connect with Explorers (both new and those who have been here from the start) who shape the work we do every day. Having a seat at this table is an honor, and we’re more committed than ever to making Aira the best it can be.

Thank you, Center on Disabilities at CSUN, for another unforgettable year!

Does anybody know how homepage verification with Friendica works? I'm going with this wiki entry.

freifunkh@friendica.me has a homepage in its profile and the homepage has a link to the profile with rel="me" set. These are the results:

  • Opening the profile in a browser without login => homepage URL visible and marked as verified (✔️).
  • Opening the profile while being logged into Friendica (different server) => no URL visible.
  • Opening the profile while being logged into Mastodon (different server) => no URL visible.

Mastodon App even shows a warning, saying there is no verified link.

The worst part is all these people calling it "fake news".

The EFF has been libertarian-influenced since its origin in the early 1990s, and is now 34 years old; AIUI only one of the founders (Kapor) is still engaged, 34 years is enough time for institutional policy drift and regulatory capture to set in … circumstances.run/@davidgerard…

pas étonnant, car ce genre de situation implique une rigueur méthodologique énorme, un temps relationnel important, et sur des terrains où les professionnels ne sont pas à l'aise (le distantiel, la coordination entre métiers). mais très beau cas exemplaire en tout cas
