The Internet Archive is hiring a Director of Platform Engineering. In my opinion, this is the most crucial and important position we have had open at the company in some time. The right person in this position is not just helpful, but a make or break key between success and merely acceptable levels of technological advance for the archive. It's a non-profit level of pay but the work is world changing.

I'm in tears as I hear the news of Brandon Cole's passing. SuperBlindMan is a name synonymous with gaming, determination, and a fight for equality in an industry that until recently, has kept accessibility on the back burner. I'll forever miss his humor, his energy, his commitment to showing the world that games are for all players. I'm so blessed to have gotten to know him, however briefly in the digital sphere.
My heart goes out to his family, his loved ones, and the many lives he touched with his kindness and advocacy. We may not be able to fight every boss level, but Brandon has shown us that the game doesn't stop when people expect us to sit on the sidelines. I cherish his passion and contributions to society. He will always be loved, always missed.
His legacy will linger in the hearts of his family, friends and colleagues. It is up to the ones left behind to realize his mission and continue to spread the joy of gaming to all, despite their level of ability. Rest in peace, Brandon Cole. You will never be forgotten.

@mhussain Installing from ISOs you already have isn't what quickemu is for. You use quickget to download the installation image, then quickemu to run it with an optimised configuration. If you want to do your own thing, you can tinker with the generated config, but it's not a supported use case.

@marxjohnson thank you so much for your help! i was gripped on the epesode talking about alan's new voice! I hopefully will be able to use it with screen readers some day? he has a good voice perfect for reading out my fav webnovels ? and for navigation it would be good if you or martin made voices of your own! to think, it would be you emortal for ever. legends you are at present, but after, you will gain the title imortal legend! :)


PSA: If you're trying to run my Mac versions of my apps and they crash, try installing openssl with homebrew. This will be fixed in a later version of NVGT, hopefully soon, but for now if you have homebrew and it's added to your path, just run the following in a terminal:
brew install openssl

If Brew's not added to your path, but is installed, you can run:
/opt/Homebrew/bin/brew install openssl

You can get Homebrew from brew.sh

Habe gestern einmal ein paar Anregung hinsichtlich der Verbesserung der Zugänglichkeit einiger Elemente in der App #OsmAnd ans Entwicklerteam gemailt, bin mal gespannt.
@radiorobbe hat die App unter
schulle4u.github.io/awesome-an…
aufgenommen.
Ich könnte ja mal einen Text zu besagter App und #OpenStreetMap generell verfassen, der dann auf droidblind.de veröffentlicht werden könnte ...

Herzlich gern, es ist ohnehin zu wenig in meinem Blog los. 🙂 Falls du des Englischen mächtig bist freut man sich bei @accessibleandroid sicher auch über einen Beitrag.


@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.

(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)

Hin und wieder mal daran erinnern, dass noch bis zum 9. Oktober 2024 die #EU-#Bürgerinitiative #TaxTheRich läuft. Sie richtet sich an die Europäische Kommission und fordert diese auf, eine EU-weite Regelung für die Besteuerung hoher Vermögen einzuführen, um aus den so eingenommenen Geldern den schnelleren Umbau hin zu einer klimaneutralen und klimagerechten Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft zu finanzieren.

Aktuell (29. Juni) haben knapp 227.000 Menschen die Petition unterzeichnet. Das Ziel sind 1 Mio. Aber hey, wir sind eigentlich 500 Mio. Menschen in der EU. Also los!

Und schreibt solche Postings wie dieses hier auch ruhig mal in anderen Sprachen, die ihr beherrscht, und die in der EU gesprochen werden.

Every time someone says "AI making programmers more productive will mean that companies will lay off programmers" I just say: #JevonsParadox en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons…
_Every Single Time_ programmer productivity had increased in the past, the size of the industry has _Increased_, not gone down.

Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!

- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

In case anyone can help, the version of A Fond Kiss I'm looking for sounds like this, roughly. Warning, it's shitty midi generated sound and I just notated it pretty quickly and dirty. modulus.isonomia.net/doodles/f…

If anyone knows a version of this song, who sings it, etc, I'd be grateful.

Some of the comments on this thread are amazing. False information, claims with no supporting evidence, anti-technology ranting... I've said it before, and I'll say it again: maybe Glidence works and maybe it doesn't. It is NOT "just another smart cane", and it's trying things no one else has tried in the realm of technological O&M aids. Let's at least let it get into peoples' hands before we yell and scream about how terrible and stupid it is. reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/1d…

With UUP dump, you can create a Windows 11 ISO without UWP apps and Microsoft Edge.
Simply obtain Windows 11 22H2 or a later version.
Then, in the ConvertConfig.ini file, change the values for SkipEdge and SkipApps from 0 to 1 and execute the script to produce the Windows 11 ISO.

@FreakyFwoof another trick that works even now, is after you have installed windows, and you reach the main OOBE not the getting ready faze, where you start getting asked questions, launch task manager, run new task type in services.msc, and disable the service named appx deployment service. "getts apps ready the first time a user signs in to there account" when you answer all of the questions, and you are signed in you will find none of the bull apps installed. you will have to launch the settings app via the run dialog box by typeing ms-settings
in reply to Matthew J

@bermudianbrit @FreakyFwoof in windows 8.1 it's called app readiness in windows 10 + i think it's the same name? getts apps ready a user loggs on to this pc, this means on first account creation. this will count for new accounts also.




Protože se kolo podařilo opravit, tak jsem chtěl vyrazit na #cyklovýlet, ale právě jsem do sebe nasoukal kulajdu a dvě tortilly s kuřecím masem. Dnes to vidím maximálně na první letošní koupání. Na kolo vyrazím hned zítra ráno.🙂👍
