This might just be the most minimalistic GUI for a software installer on Windows ever.
DirectX 8 Setup window only has two buttons, one to Install, the other to cancel.

There was an old Polish speech synthesizer that would just ask whether you want it to be installed. If you clicked "yes", it would start installing automatically and then show a "Install successful" dialog, and that was about it.

"When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor's wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn't believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day when her son was 4 or 5, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking - the first in his life. And she told him he would have to go outside and find a switch for her to hit him with. The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. He said to her, 'Mama, I couldn't find a switch, but here's a rock you can throw at me.' All of the sudden, a mother understood how the situation felt from the child's point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone. The mother took the boy onto her lap, and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. And that is something I think everyone should keep in mind. Because violence begins in the nursery, one can raise children into violence." - Astrid Lindgrin, author of Pippi Lingstocking

As a blind person, I find it quite sad that the most common use of Unicode Braille these days is to make terminal apps *less* accessible to the people Braille was originally intended for.

or, well, anything else I haven't thought of that would make the accessibility problem go away without getting rid of the useful display for sighted people?

@DrHyde Terminals are actually surprisingly backwards in terms of accessibility. Where modern GUI environments have a way to indicate such semantic information to a screen reader, terminals don't really. If the spinner contains a progress indication (like percent done), I would at least put that at the beginning of the line to make it slightly more readable. Otherwise, there's nothing you can really do.

We need something like the ARIA specification, but for terminals.

This is bonkers. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disapp… Some pharmaceutical crystals can no longer be synthesised because they now spontaneously change to a more stable (but less medically efficacious) form. The more stable form acts as a seed crystal for the less stable form, and once this happens it creates a cascading effect, in which people who have ever worked with the stable form can contaminate an entire factory/lab and make it unable to reproduce the earlier form.

Die Frage auf welcher Seite die Polizei stehe wird von vielen als ungebührlich empfunden. Das ist bemerkenswert, denn der Kreisparteitag der Grünen war wegen einer Handvoll gewaltbereiter Traktoren nicht durchführbar–gestern waren 70.000 Menschen die den AFD Parteitag verhindern wollten kein Problem. Das Bedenkliche ist nicht, dass man diese Frage im Einzelfall stellen kann. Das bedenkliche ist, dass man diese Frage nicht stellen muss, weil die Polizei sie wieder und wieder von selbst aufwirft.

@cachondo @TomGrant91 Well make your life a little easier by downloading something easy and genuinely free, like a reverb plugin to see how GW handles vst's in the first place. Two I recommend are called:
Ambiance
And
MVerb.
These are both completely free reverb plugins that probably don't even have installers, just dll's that you put in a certain place in windows where vst's get scanned, and then you just load it as an effect.

Quite number of things have happened since I have mentioned my occassional usage of #emacS:
* @Termux is trying to update its compatibility with recent #android versions returning into the Google play in the process.
* speechd-el the app that acts as a built-in screen reader for emacs got some polishing and fixes recently.
* Touch and speech have recently released an update to Corvus, suite of assistive apps for #android that also feature great liblouis powered braille keyboard that can emulate alt, ctrl and shift keys allowing me to use emacs keybindings on the braille touch keyboard.
* I'm on holiday these days and I can benefit from having a screenreader accessible linux terminal with powerfull tools inside my pocket.

So here is a short article I wrote on the matter last week

What's the price for an individual user? Does it use liblouis for the back translation from braille? I don't seem to be able to find out these details on the website or should I be looking at something else?

@define @Piciok Metabraille is built like a house with a roof. 8 buttons in the front and two buttons on the roof instead of windows. You hold the house with both hands between your palms and type with the fingers on the front and with your thumbs on the roof. It is like holding a keyboard upside down in the air with your palms and typing on the backside. 12 cm long, 10 cm width, 2.6 cm depth. it is a standalone device, not built in the smartphone case.

On iOS we have ISH which is an awesome piece of software. Its a full emulator of Linux kernel. Emulator, not a VM. Reading through its code is an adventure full of twists and turns, but very rewarding if you like such things.

Dear !Friendica Support I'm sometimes reading my #friendica timeline from the @Tusky app on #android.
I am having an issue that some parts of the timeline are not loaded into the @Tusky app at all.
I have figured out when replies are added into a thread, the post is being repositioned in the list of posts returned by the #Mastodon compatible API. @Tusky is not fetching older posts when the one that has already been requested is found while syncing new posts. That is causing gaps in my timeline I can read on the phone.
It really sounds complicated. Do you understand what's my issue?

#AudioMo for June 30, 2024
To end AudioMo for this year, though I didn't post every day, I offer this short narrated thing I put together on June 28, 2018, demonstrating how quickly the night sounds change in my old hometown around this time of year.
I was recovering from some serious alergy badness in this recording, so my voice isn't quite what it should be. Sorry 'bout that.
I would re-record the voice track, but I apparently didn't save the project in anything but rendered format.

I just wrote a little #NVDASR app module for Phone Link to:
1. Allow shift+tabbing to the message list without the app crashing, since Microsoft apparently can't be bothered fixing this rather severe bug.
2. Allow alt+1 to focus the Conversations list when the Messages view is already active instead of just doing nothing.
I can't really be bothered submitting it as a proper add-on or a core app module, but if anyone wants it, let me know and I can throw it up somewhere.

Does phone link get updated often? I haven’t used it much though I hear it is quite useful. IDK man, I am still mad at them for “new outlook” being such a pile of garbage. I have to use it for work and it is a massive hit to my productivity. I am not confident the app teams are looking at stuff like that. I suppose I should be more forgiving though, , their track record in general is quite good.

More interesting/typical Android stuff: When I first turned on the phone it asked if I wanted to use RCS and asked me to agree to the TOS for their RCS provider. I declined the TOS at this time. One day later I get a popup saying that RCS is on now "by default". I check and RCS is on. No longer asking, I suppose.

It sucks that #RCS, even though being an open standard, has no FOSS implementation. It is only implemented in Google's proprietary Play Services on Android, and they have a whitelist for the apps that can use it, which currently is limited to Google's and Samsung's messaging apps. This really sucks, because RCS could have been a massive improvement for everyone if it was implemented in AOSP and could be used without proprietary apps.
