Hmm. Character navigation via left/right arrow keys in edit boxes with NVDA, e.g., Windows 10's Notepad, seems noticeably faster if a screen is present, even if it's something like [Virtual Display Driver][1]. Is there a valid reason behind that, @NVAccess, or am I falsely conflating a coincidence?

Well now I can't seem to reproduce it anymore, or not to the point where I actually notice. Ugh. I could have sworn that Settings didn't have any display resolution when my lid is closed, but looking now, it actually shows as 1920 × 1080. Never mind, then. And while I have no idea what Notepad generation it is, it's the one where the menu bar still exists. @x0 @jcsteh

Mastodon parle français aussi, je suppose.
Alors, se trouve-t-il ici un(e) collegue pour moi ?
Nous cherchons un(e) alternant(e) pour un poste technicien(ne) support #informatique. A #Strasbourg centre, présentiel.

Si / quand j'aurai mon mot à dire sur le recrutement, j’aimerais avoir un(e) collègue débrouillard, proactif(ve) et avec la tête sur les épaules. Après, s’il y a une vraie volonté, c’est un poste qui offre de réelles opportunités d'apprentissage et des projets divers. Ce n'est pas du hotline et pas que du support, mais faut quand même d'être capable de communiquer. (Je parle par l'expérience. Le poste pourrait éventuellement convenir à une alternance niveau bac+2, mais comme dit, l’envie de bosser, de découvrir et d’évoluer...)

Alors, que faut-il connaître ? AD, les bases des produits Microsoft (serveurs, O365) (oh oui...), qq connaissances des réseaux, une idée de Powershell pourrait être utile. Pas complètement étranger(e) aux systèmes Unix/Linux.

Cyclistes bienvenues, Au boulot à vélo, on le prend très sérieusement. :meow_giggle:

In what may be a Canadian first, a human rights tribunal has affirmed the right of an immunocompromised person to seek workplace accommodations.

Disability advocates are praising the decision, saying it broadens the concept of accessible workplaces.

To celebrate 30 years of JAWS, we're launching a new training series highlighting notable features available in JAWS.

In our first session, we cover Quick Navigation Keys; what they are, how to use them, and how they make browsing the web more efficient with JAWS.

Listen to or watch the training here:

@cachondo Thank you for being a long time JAWS user. We wanted to create a training series to celebrate features that had a huge impact at the time of their release. This training series is also designed to help ones who are new to using JAWS, some of whom were not even born yet in 2002, learn about all the features available in JAWS. Maybe you know someone new to using a screen reader that may benefit from this training?

wanna give a huge shout-out to Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky for gifting us some absolutely stunning colour photographs from Russia in the 1910s.

YEAH YOU READ THAT RIGHT. he took three photographs of each subject, through coloured filters, and then projected the images again through the filters and superimposed them.

and thus, we have colour photography of early 20th century Russia. and it's beautiful.

an Armenian woman posing in a dark red skirt, a white shirt, and a blue jacket, wearing a multi-coloured hat, on a hillside against a backdrop of trees. her hands are clasped in front of her stomach.
a landscape photograph of Trinity Monastery in Tyumen from 1912. the walls are white, and the domes and spires are green, perhaps made of weathered copper?
Mr. Prokudin-Gorsky himself sat in a rail handcar with four other men on the Murmansk railroad. the other men are wearing some kind of uniform, while Mr. Prokudin-Gorsky wears a suit. the sky is blue and the weather looks fair.
an elderly, bearded man in a formal uniform standing on a raft holding a long punting pole. the raft floats on a river but its chained to the bank. the man's coat is long and grey, buttoned on the right side with a green belt. in this one you can see the effects of taking three separate photographs to composite them; while most things in frame are static and thus line up perfectly, the river is in constant movement, and so the water is separated into clouds of all three colours and looks somewhat oily.

Russian chemist and photographer (1863–1944)

NEW Change, Technically just dropped where we go all in on Star Wars: Andor and the Psychology of Resistance ! 🤩

changetechnically.fyi/2396236/…

@analog_ashley and I LOVED Andor, and I'm psyched to be sitting on a Comic-Con panel about it this very week -- if you're at Comic-Con you can catch our panel about Andor and Resistance on July 24th at noon and if not, you can dive deep into the psychology of dissenters and coalitions with this episode!


Andor and the psychology of resistance - Change, Technically

SHOW NOTES Dominic Packer’s Normative Conflict Model of Dissent is described in this paper as well as his other work: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1088868307309606 Cat also mentions Mina Cikara’s work on coalitional cognition....

> A toxicologist at UC Davis got his hands on a disposable e-cigarette, the kind that’s popular amongst teens and young adults with broccoli haircuts. He decided to test it for various metal contamination, and found such a high concentration of lead that his first reaction was to assume his equipment was malfunctioning.
