Nvidia’s Shocking Cutoff: GTX 1060 and Windows 10 Support Ends Soon!

The Beginning of the End for Beloved Graphics Cards and a Trusted OS In a move that signals the closing chapter for an entire era of gaming hardware and software, Nvidia has announced a critical update for Windows 10 users and owners of its GTX 10 and 900 series graphics cards. While there's a short-term reprieve, the long-term future looks uncertain for gamers who haven’t upgraded their GPU or OS.

Libervia CLI Tip 11:

Libervia automatically caches pubsub nodes you are subscribed to.

You can control it with the `li pubsub cache` commands.

The search capabilities are really powerful, with full-text search and many filters.

You can find items across profiles, within a time frame, or on any field of parsed data.

You can show whole items or specific data (e.g., title/author/tags of forum posts within a time frame).

It's a weirdly satisfying number, and I can't explain why, and I am glad it's just for fun and not about numbers and $$hit.

ЕЕЕЕЕЕ, недей така го пускай по надолнището, дай малко нагоре, че да има повече време за клипчета. Да, преди в ютуб имаше време според събовете, сега не знам как е с всичките им глупости. То и да не монетизираш клипове, пак пуска реклами, абе тъпотия. Но пък е готино да подкрепиш някой, все едно му даваш лайк и вече си фен. :) ;) Also, if you make that 59 I'll poke you, with a white cane, it hurts. :P

Intelligence truly is a weird thing, especially when it's super concentrated. I consider myself to be an at least fairly decent C++ and Rust programmer at this point, and I know many other programming languages as well to varying degrees. And yet, I struggle to spell words that many would consider basic in English, the one and only language I natively speak and grew up speaking. I do blame part of this on learning contracted Braille so young, as one example I didn't know how to spell "necessary" until I was like 13, but I also wonder how much of it is because I don't speak any other languages, and the part of my brain that I should be using for spelling English words is being used to remember all the syntax rules of C++ templates.
in reply to Quin

Respectfully, I disagree that it has anything to do with either intelligence or the brain, it's just a question of priorities. Spelling was a priority for people between, say, 1600 and 1990 because to spell well was to appear educated. Before 1600, people didn't need to spell in accordance with any specific rules. After 1990, people didn't need to know those rules because the computer would do it for them. It's just the end of a relatively short period in the history of the English language when spelling was a proxy for education. There are other proxies for education at the moment, spelling just isn't one of them, I'm trying to think of anything, other than a pen/pencil, which doesn't allow checking. Once the people who were educated before 1990 or so are no longer here, nobody will care about spelling. Even now, a badly spelled text is an example of carelessness, it means nothing about how well a person is educated or how knowledgeable he may be except if you want to argue that more educated people are more careful, I suppose, which you can, but which I don't think is obviously true.

Getting stressed out by the world unravelling around you? Has the doomscrolling raised your blood pressure?

OK #Blind #Linux people, is it really worthwhile to consider dual booting @elementary or at least testing it out in a VM? I’m probably not going to be able to give up windows completely, correct? What can I do natively under Lennox and what can’t I do? How is word processing, spreadsheets, making presentations? How about editing music notation? what works, what doesn’t, and what am I going to be giving up in terms of time and efficiency? Boosts appreciated and input very much welcome. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind @blind #OpenSource #ElementaryOS #ScreenReader #Accessibility #A11Y

You have a couple of options that are accessible. #slint linux, #fedora. If you go the Fedora route install 41 then upgrade to 42 after it is installed. Use the #mate version.
If you try #slint things should work out of the bo, but it is #slackware based so the package install process will be different than most systems if you need to install something that isn't there yet.

NVDA 2025.3.1 Release Candidate is now available for testing.

This is a patch release to fix a security issue & a bug.

- Fixed a vulnerability which could prevent access to secure screens via Remote Access.

- Remote Access now returns control to the local computer if it locks while controlling the remote computer.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.
---

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

I decided to write a post where I talk about my experiences finding work as a blind person and attempt to give some general advice to blind people who are either looking for work or looking for a position that better aligns with their goals or values. I'm not sure why the strange URL; hopefully it doesn't cause problems. mikegorse.substack.com/p/4834h…

Peter Vágner reshared this.

This is one of those places where Linux accessibility drops off a cliff. The MOK screen isn’t accessible because it runs before the kernel (so no espeakup, no console, no Orca). Debian upstream knows about the issue, but it’s been considered “low priority” for years because most users just press the keys once and never touch it again. Unfortunately, for blind users, that makes Secure Boot basically unusable without sighted help.

André Polykanine reshared this.

Well I have done it. as of November 4, or 5 my JFW will no longer work. it is still on the laptop, but I will get that removed as soon as I am done reading the fan fic I am reading. So basically, I am now on #NVDA for the fore seeable future. there is a reactivate button, if I choose to do this before the fifth. the fifth of next month is when I would be charged for it, so there you go. If something doesn't work with NVDA, I just won't use it I guess.

in reply to NV Access

@NVAccess I will say the one thing I really like ab out the program I use are two things. one is that I have it set up so that it shows up in my system gray, and if the CPU usage is over 2 percent, I not only see what it is, but what is using the most, so for example, it might say something like CPU usage: 10 percent, NVDA.exe 5 percent. the other thing I like, is another option I can have it show me in the system tray is how much ram I am using.

Someone just sent me something to review for feedback. It's a PDF, but it's the kind that have absolutely no text. I'm guessing it's an image or scan. Paperback doesn't yet have OCR, so I'm kind of stuck. I want to reply to the sender (someone I've known for years), but I honestly don't want to try to explain the problem. To sighted people, if they can read the text, that's readable. People who aren't good with computers can't understand why some PDFs work and some are useless. I hate this stuff

xAI to Raise $20 Billion After Nvidia and Others Boost Round

> Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI is raising more financing than initially planned, tapping backers including Nvidia Corp. to lift its ongoing funding round to $20 billion, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

If every country starts requiring that people provide official ID in order to "verify their age" to use social media, there will be no way to use any social media without associating the account with a legal identity.

This is horrible for democracy,
and should terrify everyone.

It doesn't matter if platforms use third-parties or not. It doesn't matter if they use some special encrypted code, the result is the same. This gatekeeps open discussions and government criticisms free from reprisals.

This is bad.
This is China "free-speech" bad.

This is not true, there are cryptographic protocols that let you verify some assertion about your identity without revealing anything else about yourself.

The simplest, low-tech solution would be to require a single-use scratch card to sign up for any website. Stores could then be required to verify ID before such a scratchcard could be sold, just like they do now for alcohol and cigarettes.
