It's done! #chatcontrol is officially off the table after the danish EU council presidency drops it for good. It's a small but important victory!

Thanks again to @chatcontrol for coordinating grassroots interventions, and everyone else, especially on the fediverse, for joining efforts to fundamentally preserve end-to-end encryption 💜 Also to @Mer__edith and @signalapp for their strong end-to-end encryption work and stances.

Of course, vigilance remains important.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

Very few people, with skills and tools already available - made mobilizing and organizing possible, to fight and win, against the behemoth Chat Control.

Its really big and beautiful.
Thank you to the person who made fightchatcontrol.eu :)

IMHO it's gross generalization. Yes, there are many tools with expert UI, but there are also many tools with simple UI. It's like pointing at Photoshop and saying proprietary software doesn't have simple photo editors.

Flathub is full of simple tools like for example this one:

in reply to Mariia Sydoruk

All the other suggestions in this thread are correct and valid, but another thing you can do is to redirect the output to a file.

Instead of something like:

python3 myprogram.py

you can type instead:

python3 myprogram.py > results.txt

And then all the output will be saved to results.txt, which you can review in your editor of choice.

You can even do:

python3 program.py | more

And then it'll open in a "pager', a program which lets you review the output page by page, you can scroll with space.

So, wait a sec. Since the launch of Mac OS 26 it seems there is a serious conflict between VoiceOver and VMWare Fusion 2025H2 build where a virtual machine crashes as soon as VO is running. How long has it been since the Mac OS 26 release? These guys can't figure out a solution to such a seirous problem? I am sure if sighted folks were affected in a similar manner, some kind of patch would have been released by now, no?
in reply to victor tsaran

This same thing happened to Fusion in macOS Sequoia. It may be fixed quicker were it not for the fact that VMWare's currrent owners are a small little mom-and-pop by the name of Broadcom--you might've heard of them. They've single-handedly run the entire product line into the ground.
All this to say: No, a fix is slow incoming, if it ever does. Back to Parallels, whose accessibility may still suck, but is at least managed by a dedicated team who hasn't managed to piss off the world.

For a long time, I have looked for voices that I like besides eloquence. I find that it can be a bit muddy sometimes. Not quite as bright as I would like. During a recent demo of NVDA, I listened to Microsoft Zira. I have started using it with NVDA and I quite like it. It is responsive, it pronounces things decently, and I find it a bit easier to understand using my laptop when I’m not using headphones and just using the speakers.

I usually fly to North Carolina around Christmas to hang out with my family for a bit. This year, with everything going on, I'm a little wary of doing that. I also would really rather not be here at that time. Do I risk my mental health, or my (AND OTHERS) physical health? So many choices.

I see people on the news gawking about what has happened in #Jamaica , Cuba, Haiti, the Carribbean but my feeds on fedi have been really reslly quiet about this issue and I haven't seen any fund raising links or anything much.

As a descendant of Jamaican diaspora I've gotta share it around. Does anyone have any genuine fundraising links I can boost?

Edit: I have been provided with somes links to fundraisers, please boost. Jamaica has never had to deal with a category 5 hurricane until now. It's getting worse.
