Mně se líbí, jak jsou ve feedu posty ze zprávobota. Zprávobot to tahá z X na Fediverse, odkud se to bridguje na Bluesky. Ještě by to mohl někdo z Bluesky tahat zpátky na X a kruh by se uzavřel. 🙂

New #Apple #Mac bug! Headphones are not recognised and you have to restart the Mac if you encountered the issue. My M1 doesn't seem to have this issue, but the work one does. Work around is to use USB C headphones. They're a different device altogether.

Thanks, I was not aware of this elaborate article about the origins of Smalltalk. Quite fascinating to read how Simula was a direct inspiration, much like how Bjarne Stroustrup refers to Simula as an important inspiration for C++. Two very different philosophies and work environments being sparked by the same original work.
So there's a decades-old mechanism (and actual standard) how programs lock serial ports on unix-like systems in /var/lock. it's used in practice even in 2025 and #systemd >= 258 simply breaks it with "we don't care". I am not a systemd opponent, but that kind of behaviour [without a prior community-wide discussion or providing patches for known-affected projects and a grace period] is just alienating users and developers github.com/systemd/systemd/iss…bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep… #systemd #debian

Ясно. Не беше много трудно да разбера, че това дето ми пратиха на СМС изобщо не беше Спиди. Така си личеше, обаче ако не бях видяла номера им, сигурно щях да кликна върху линкчето, което и без това не водеше към спиди. Оттървах се за малко! :)

Will browsers and screen readers respect the #html lang attribute #WordPress allows us to set on paragraphs?
TL;DR; most browsers "read aloud" feature ignores element specific lang attribute, but dedicated screen readers like #NVDA and Apple #VoiceOver do fairly well!
I've installed the 20 most spoken languages in #europe on my PC and virtual Mac.
Blog post is in the making, so feel free to ask questions and send me on even more side quests 😁
Glad NVDA is working well switching languages in your tests! With the languages - note that NVDA uses Windows OneCore by default. It will happily switch languages AS LONG AS you have the voice pack for the new language installed in Windows. This post is old but should cover the process: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…
With eSpeak-NG, a popular synthesizer which we bundle with NVDA, it includes over 120 languages built in, from memory. And if using other synthesizers like Eloquence YMMV
Stuff worth mentioning here: 1. I went to Dubai for a few days, very much enjoyed the city, and purchased an Index Everest 5 Braille embosser. 2. I saw the Zoom H5 Studio and almost purchased it. However, I refrained as I thought I'd want the newer, more capable H6 Studio. It's not yet available in Dubai at least. 3. I updated to iOS 26 Beta 8, and so far my 16 Pro Max hasn't had any issues. 4. Finally, I stopped using NVDA alphas as the new ones have broken compatibility with many add-ons like MS Word Text Editor, ColumnsReview, BrowserNav, CloudVision, etc. I'm now with 2025.3 betas. @NVAccess
Thanks! It was awesome indeed. As far as NVDA goes, wish I could stay with alphas for more testing, but lack of access to essential add-ons makes it almost an impossibility. I'd like to have alphas on my work and home machines, and this has worked well over the past couple of years. But this time around add-ons have started to behave in a way that I can't fix them at my end.
And that is expected as we move towards more .1 changes. Remember you can have a portable alpha copy for testing and leave the stable (or 2025.3 beta) as your installed copy :)
Sure, but given my time constraints, dedicating extra time to the portable, alpha-based copy or install is a challenge in and out of itself. Wishful thinking, but wish NVAccess could finally do something for these frequent add-on breakages. Yes, you say it's with .1 releases. But it starts many months before each .1 release with alphas, and oftentimes add-ons are fixed near, or even after, the availability of a .1 release. This time around, we're almost 6 months away from the next .1 release, and no one knows when my add-ons will be fixed.
But alphas aren't designed to be your everyday, use with all add-ons setup. And we're starting early so we have time to make all the necessary changes for 64-bit and get them solid before getting near stable.
But on the filp side, yes we are working on a more solid, secure API which should largely overcome the add-on breakage issue.
I have an Everest. My company tried to tell me I should be using a tractor-fed basic but I won that argument. I use it regularly along with my Mantis and am quite happy, although I've not explored any sort of graphical options which people keep asking me about.
@clv0 No, I haven't tried newer Kawai digitals though I've heard good things about their actions. The P525 is a decent portable Yamaha piano and offers a flexible action as well.
My cat kept opening cupboards and ripping open food packets while I was at work. So I installed CCTV in the kitchen with a speaker so I can tell her her to stop from my desk at work. After 12 days she learned to knock the camera away first so I couldn't see. Clever girl.

To my ham pals. has anyone gotten zones to work with a screen reader in the open GD77 software? Creating zones and assigning channels to them is not a fun time.
Plugging into the thread as I haven't learnt that myself yet. Am on holiday at the moment so busy with other things but I'll try to receive some more information over the weekend.
So I have tinkered with the interface a bit. You can import CSV files with pre-made configurations for zones and channels. Some hams share their codeplugs online. I'm trying to obtain one for my area as someone promised them to me. I think this is the easiest if you'd like to setup all relays in your area in one go.

This is the puzzle page from the September 1909 issue of "The Ladies' Home Journal". You have to guess what letter of the alphabet is represented by each of the nine pictures.
The answers make no sense to me. Can someone suggest an explanation?
Ok so does anyone know why with #NVDA I cannot send an email in #Outlook? I hit reply, type the email, and cannot exit the edit area and find the send button. Latest release builds of Windows 11 pro, and Nvda 225. @main @mastoblind @NVAccess
Was thinking "I just saw this on RBlind earlier" and was going to reply.... and then realised that my reply there is here (at least on your server, I can't see it here on mine)..... and.... clearly I still don't understand how Fediverse works....
@techsinger ah see I did not even know those were hotkeys, the last time I used Outlook on PC I could see, and it was the old Mail app on Windows 10, so that would likely be the issue. Though I could not leave the edit field at all which was odd, like what if I needed to check the recipient info?
The new outlook... Look, the less said the better. It just raises my blood pressure :) As for leaving the field, shift+tab doesn't work, right? Have you tried with object nav? I have never used the new outlook, I'm sorry to be so useless, but I use thunderbird and the last outlook I used was 2013.
@techsinger Just specifically on shift+tab, it seems to .... be a little flakey - sometimes it does work from anywhere in the reply, but what I did find when I tested it, was that if it doesn't work, if you press control+home to jump to the top of the message, it does seem to work more reliably. I'm not 100% sure why and it behaved nicely when I tried to test it in order to write up an issue.... So do feel free to write up an issue if you can reliably repro it.
OK what the fuck. Just got the following message. Dear Mrs Ramirez,
This is Special Agent Eddie, contacting you on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
You have been reported in connection with an alleged incident involving the unauthorized acquisition of funds totaling $5,000.00 USD from an individual identified as Mr. Michael.Based on the preliminary information received, we are treating this matter with the seriousness it warrants.
At this time, we are in the process of conducting a formal investigation. You are advised that failure to cooperate or provide clarification regarding this matter may result in legal action, including but not limited to criminal charges, depending on the outcome of our findings. I have no idea whether I should be concerned or not. Because I know for a fact that I didn't steal $5000.
@menelion It definitely is a scam. And therefor I blocked the email address that I got that message from. The email address was federralbureauinvestigatiion@gmail.com. Sending hugs your way.
A IL de vez em quando acerta. É raro, é muito, muito raro, mas lá de onde a onde, naquela do relógio parado dar as horas certas duas vezes por dia, lá atingem o alvo.
#ChatControl: «Iniciativa Liberal vai apresentar proposta para Governo rejeitar "chat control"» (JN)

Os founders e CEOs devem estar a ver multas ou trabalho para fazer por causa daquilo. Nunca se preocuparam com as big corporations ou transferências de dados indiscriminados para os EUA. Hipocrisia portanto.
So I have to build a team file access solution, and I wish I could stop myself from thinking that there has to be a more effective way to do this than unix-style permissions and user/group membership scheme. And of course, there are many solutions. Thing is, this is a long-running, legacy system that is the backbone of an online business. Its not simply easy, nor quick for one person to transition an entire business that must be online and operational to an entirely new solution. So this thing runs on a Debian 12 LAMP-stack server, with front-end Nginx proxies from a couple other boxes (those aren't all that important to this quandry though). Team members will access the file store via SFTP, and at the moment, are using linux accounts for access. Perhaps there's a file solution that could provide SFTP access without requiring system level access. I should probably at the bare minimum investigate that.
The content is owned by a user, of course. This user is a member of its own group, as is standard. So I'd have to create a team group, create user accounts for all team members, and add them to the team group. I would then need to set directory and file permissions on the content so that the owner and group could do anything, and the rest of the world could only read. It seems such as simple solution now that I've written that down, but for some reason, my brain is blocked on actually proceeding to do the work. Something about the whole thing fills me with unease. Clearly, I need to get over this unease and actually do something, I'd just like to figure out how to do that, LOL.

Продавцы техники определились с тем, как продавать смартфоны iPhone после вступления в силу с 1 сентября закона об обязательной предустановке российского магазина приложений RuStore. Apple отказалась следовать специально написанному под нее документу (по крайней мере, пока). В итоге с 1 сентября российская официальная розница начнет торговать «бракованными» айфонами. Предупреждения о «недостатке» (отсутствие RuStore) появилось на сайтах крупнейших российских торговых сетей электроникой. При этом условия продажи смартфонов не изменятся, сообщили «Агентству» в поддержке нескольких магазинов.
