@NVAccess Hi guys! I know this is a pretty specific issue, so I didn’t post it on GitHub — and I’m not even sure there’s a solution. I play EA FC, and in previous versions, I used the NVDA mouse move command to select options. With JAWS, using OCR, it automatically selects the desired option when I move through them with the arrow keys. With NVDA, it only rarely works when navigating by words and moving the mouse. I recorded a short demonstration, although the audio might not be very good and my English isn’t the best. If you want, I can share the link via Google Drive. Thanks!
pretty specific issues are perfect for GitHub. In this case, it likely has applications beyond EA FC but it would definitely be worth having an issue written up on GitHub if you are intereste?
Up to EA FC 25, it was possible to select in-game options using NVDA. The process involved using OCR to identify an option and then using the “move mouse” command together with object navigation, w...
I tried all that, but nothing worked. Of course, GPT isn’t a very trustworthy source, but I asked him why this was happening and supposedly, JAWS has drivers that can access the mouse and system more deeply, maybe that's it.
Given I can't give you an in-depth answer offhand, I sincerely doubt Chat GPT can tap into knowledge we don't have on this :) But, it would be worth investigating getting the knowledge - and you've created an issue, which is the best way of kicking that off, so hopefully that leads somewhere

@Drummerdaniels I have no doubt, though I'm always hopeful it won't get bricked. I've heard of that occasionally happening over the years, so I always like to be cautious.
looking at @feld 's profile after he was sent to private prison for pleroma crimes i discovered delta chat which is interesting and i set up a profile. delta me i guess!
Okay, I got the napkin out and did some math. I estimate $100k to put a 500W solar panel into space (where it will become 8x efficient) and power 8x 5090s. So that's only 4x the cost of the 5090s, lower than I thought, but about 25x the cost of terrestrial electricity for one year. No TCO savings, but I suppose it's somewhat feasible to build a spherical data center in orbit.
Though maybe if you use a hydrogen fueled rocket, you could claim to be water positive.
Asses: 500W panel 50 pounds. Other parts 50 pounds. $1k per pound to orbit. At 10c/kwhr something like $3.5k (~$4k) power.
The 15th World Socialism Forum opened in Beijing on Monday, bringing together nearly 90 foreign communist leaders, Marxist scholars, social activists, and diplomatic representatives from 35 countries. The forum, themed "At the Crossroads of World History: The Choices of All Nations", focused on Chinese-style modernization, the rise of the Global South, and reforms in global governance to safeguard fairness and justice.
Saw this in a repo somebody spun up containing source code of Apple's new web-based App Store.
Maybe they're being snarky, but you shouldn't take this advice to heart! Always ship sourcemaps in production! Always! #WebDev #ViewSource #Accessibility
So ...there's various situations where .NET UI #accessibility just isn't as automatic as it should be. Loads of times I see perfectly good label texts within buttons, listItems, etc. that for whatever internal reason isn't actually the button's #accessible name. This has been a problem for close to twenty years now and I doubt #microsoft is ever going to fix it, so I had a crack at it. All the disclaimers apply, this is mostly just a thing I wrote for myself and I figured it might be helpful to some: github.com/zersiax/dotnet_fix If you have to use .NET apps that seemingly have a bunch of unlabeled buttons, but object navigation reveals text inside, this might help some. No guarantees, and if it breaks you get to keep both pieces :P #foss #NVDA #screenReader #blind
i googled something that should *definitely* have multiple results ("fat simplex" barycentric), and apparently there is precisely one result: some slides from a talk I gave last year.
this is accompanied by an entirely wrong LLM summary (not just wrong, but doesn't-even-make-sense wrong) which cites ME as the source. but it's not ever a correct summary of what i said, so it's incorrectly attributing a lie to me.
Perhaps funny story. Today I met with one of my collaborators regarding a paper we are writing, where all but two theorems are formalized in TypeTopology.
We discussed how to formalize one of them.
In the end, we concluded that the opposite of what the alleged theorem says is true. 🙂
The original theorem was a negation of an assertion, but the assertion is actually true!
We haven't formalized this yet, but it is in the making.
So I just grabbed an app called #Ramblio and created an account, because there’s just not enough time to waste. The best way I can describe Ramblio is to think of it as perhaps Facebook only you post audio messages, not text. Over the years I’ve gotten sucked in by thesse things more times then I can count. I suspect that Ramblio will have its day in the sun and then disappear like all the Vorails and Clubhouses and others I can’t even remember the names of now. Should anyone be interested my username there is kl1964.
A few tidbits from Apple Vis regarding the latest version of iOS, 26.1: Our experience is that the following accessibility bugs have been resolved or meaningfully improved in iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1:
The Live Captions feature under Braille Access now supports FaceTime and phone calls. Double-tapping an episode in the TV app now plays the episode as expected. On iPadOS, it is now possible to move apps to the Dock using the actions rotor. Attempting to move a file in Braille Access when no folders are present no longer crashes the app. The button to show bookmarks in Safari's toolbar is now correctly labeled. New accessibility bugs
We are currently aware of two new accessibility bugs in these releases:
When downloading an app from the App Store, VoiceOver speaks extraneous text prior to speaking the download progress. This issue occurs both when downloading apps not previously on the device and when downloading updates. The button indicating that an iMessage was sent with Siri, located to the right of the message, is labeled as "Replay" instead of "sent with Siri."

It boggles my mind that some people object to their taxes being used to help feed hungry children, but they are absolutely fine with paying more tax because billionaires don't want to pay their share.

FreeBSD has been included as an officially supported platform in version 1.3 of the Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime specification, released November 4, 2025.
Still early, but to me it looks like handing $300B-$400B to capital entities while punishing individual Canadians. And making all Canadians pay for it.
it looks like Mastodon.social defederated from my server, once again proving that Eugen is the wrong person to have this level of control over federated social media. I can't reach friends there; looks like they blocked as I have no follows there anymore.
I'd understand it if I was an edgelord that spent all day harassing people and posting absolutely deranged shit that violated their rules
@tychotithonus what has me baffled is your instance and your posts are so tame it's not even funny (comparatively speaking). you must be one of those "horrible pleroma people"
In lieu of having a native PlexAmp on FreeBSD and 15.0-RELEASE is not out yet so I don't really have the time to test if the new Linuxulator changes are enough to get PlexAmp's FlatPack working in FreeBSD, I've modified my Headless PlexAmp device (Raspberry Pi with analog audio output) to have an ALSA loopback device configuration so I can capture the audio playing through *that* with ffmpeg (or darkice, etc etc) and stream that to my Icecast server at home.
I won't get FLAC streaming out of this, but I'll get Opus which is good enough for the moment. It's a decent workaround that allows me to play the audio with the same features and control it through a browser or my phone, but not have to literally play it *through* my browser... because it would sometimes cut out when the browser got extra busy and that was unpleasant.
I did try playing around with Pulseaudio/Pipewire/Jack but getting them to run correctly on a headless Debian was pissing me off so I gave up. At least if those worked correctly I could potentially stream the audio on the local network in full quality.
Tomorrow night join @Liz, for Full Circle from 7 P.M. eastern (US time). Their will be a showcase, wich Liz only justdecided on right now, and in the third hour will be the next episode of Chickenman. So tune in tomorrow night, and see who is hiding in the showcase. HKCRadio.com
I occasionally drive my car and there are so many times in Montreal when congestion is caused by 1, maybe 2 cars, parked (legally) causing the entire lane to have to merge just to go around the 1 car.
I would like to propose removing those parking spaces to watch the car lobby's heads explode while trying to figure out whether to complain or not.
Then after they've collapsed into a black hole, we put in a bike path.
it's one of the stupidest thing I have seen in this city. Examples: L'Acadie (south bound), Jean-Talon. It's allowed evening and w-e to park. And half the time you have morons that know better that try to pass on the right lane until there is a car.

EA FC: mouse movement not being performed with NVDA
diegomatos16 (GitHub)NV Access
in reply to Diego • • •Thank you!
I'm not familiar with the game myself, but a couple of other thoughts of things you could try in the meantime:
- Golden Cursor add-on
- Object navigation
- Mouse Enhancement add-on
