@Jason Fayre That's perfect timing. One of the sites where I'm working as a sysadmin have just received their new opensense based gateway. Next week I'll start learning the platform.

*sigh* again, privacy focused tech locks us out by designing a document solution that doesn't work well with the keyboard and or screen readers. In my brief testing I couldn't review any text I typed, at all, nor review a document someone else made as a test. The menu bar items also didn't have labels on them, it seemed.

To answer your question, how about never, is never good for you? Sorry to be facetious, I'm just annoyed. There seems to be this idea, I'm not quite sure where it originated, that disabled people (I'm blind so have seen this very plainly when dealing with things supposed to be accessible to the blind)... There's this idea that blind people are supposed to take the most basic crumbs and shut up. That is, if you can use something to some extent, it doesn't matter what you have to give up. Your time, energy, privacy, and so on aren't important, you should be happy just to use the product in a somewhat limited way. People say that a product is usable with Amazon's Echo, and seem to be dumbfounded when I say that I am not remotely interested in having a constantly recording microphone, or even a microphone which may be constantly recording, in my house. Indeed, I thought that's what distinguished pre-1989 eastern Europe from the west, I have read of people who believed, whether rightly or wrongly, that their phones were recording even when on hook and they ought to speak in a room away from the phone if they wanted privacy. I don't need to guess that things like Echo are listening, I know they are, how could they identify their wake word, or even pretend to do so, if they weren't? All that is to say that people take the view that blind people should just be happy to use anything and forget about the luxuries available to others, such as basic privacy. With the greatest regrets, I have to say I'm not happy to do that. Not, of course, that any of this will change.

This is truly so moving to me. Having gone from a far more diverse professional field into this one has been incredibly difficult, like a kind of grief that no one over here understands unless they've made a similar journey. It's been impacting me a lot lately and it's wonderful to see change examples.

Long COVID can change your life--even if you've seemingly recovered. “People who have recovered from long COVID can suffer relapses or flare-ups from new viral infections — not just from COVID but from cold, flu, and other viral pathogens, researchers have found.”

The ONLY way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid your next infection with #COVID19.

“US cities are advertising themselves as ‘climate havens’. But can they actually protect residents from extreme weather?”
bbc.com/future/article/2024062…

It points out the fact that everywhere is getting worse, Buffalo just less rapidly. It also ignores the fact that the city’s mayor of 18 years has still not figured out how to handle blizzards. So, come join us in Buffalo, where the frog boiling is slower and the leadership is yet slower than that!

About updates of feeds, very older versions of the add-ons check for new articles at NVDA startup, but I preferred to deactivate it. Also, I thought about making possible to get notifications of updates of the default feed, now that NVDA includes a schedule module, but finally I decided that this is not needed and maybe anoying. Anyway, suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Hi Freedom scientific! Recently i have sent the bug report as the one of the RHVOice language maintainers. Can i ask about it's status? The case number is: 00721871

Ein wahnsinnig interessanter Text darüber, warum die Bahn in der Schweiz prächtig funktioniert und in Deutschland eine Katastrophe ist. sueddeutsche.de/projekte/artik…
Was die Schweizer damals anders gemacht haben als die Deutschen, lasse sich ganz einfach beantworten, sagt Füglistaler. „In der Schweiz hat die Debatte um das Waldsterben den Bahnausbau ausgelöst“ erinnert sich Füglistaler, „das war in den Neunzigerjahren.“ Da erwachte bei den Schweizern das ökologische Gewissen, viele setzten sich statt ins Auto fortan lieber in den Zug. 2004 kam der erste große Ausbauschritt, ein Stundentakt zwischen allen großen Schweizer Städten. Diese Phase gab es in Deutschland nicht. Stattdessen passierte das Gegenteil: In der Politik herrschte die Auffassung, dass die privatisierte Bahn den Bund nicht mehr so viel kosten darf, anders als noch die Staatsbahnen. Statt in den Erhalt der Infrastruktur zu investieren, wurden Tausende Kilometer Gleise samt Weichen und Oberleitungen rückgebaut. „Da ging es auseinander“, sagt Füglistaler. Er war damals Finanzchef der Infrastruktursparte bei der SBB, auch er sollte sparen – und kämpfte dagegen an.

Deutsche Bahn vs Schweizer Bahn: Der Zug ist abgefahren

Die Deutsche Bahn ist dieser Tage eine Zumutung. In der Schweiz ist das ganz anders. Die Leute lieben ihre Bahn. Woran das liegt.
Vivien Timmler (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

To briefly answer your question on what’s the deal with the #XMPP mailing lists. Most discussion happens (sort of unsurprisingly 😉) on XMPP.
Developer discussions happen here: xmpp:jdev@muc.xmpp.org?join
on sys admin stuff here: xmpp:operators@muc.xmpp.org?jo… or in the channels for the specific server software.

Just the slower paced standards discussions (for which we also want a more permanent record) happens on a mailing list.

@FreakyFwoof I actually researched that and it in deed seems to be something custom-made. Some users were tipping "The Lincolnshire Poacher" but definitely not that one. For the record, the Samsung's tune is a stanza from Schubert's "Die Forelle". BTW: If you actually Google all of that the first result you'll hit is a nicely written essay about how singing and music in general accompanied performing of household duties and how that plays into slavery themes and gender stereotypes.

Someone open the window, because I just *VOTED*
I'm just a man. Standing in front of a camera. Asking you to love me. Its me standing in front of the polling station sign outside a local school whilst a woman smirks in the background. Probably because I had just said to her in an unbearably cringey way "It's for the 'gram". What a absolute prick. I've got a black tshirt and black sunglasses on. My hair looks like a velcro wig but also simultaneously greasy somehow. I have a beard, which barely conceals some of the less kind contours of my big face. A face that looks like a boxer who's never been in a fight. The face of a kindly sailor who never went to school but knows the mysterious ways of the ocean. Like a man who expected to be famous but never was but still behaves like a celebrity because he doesn't know anything else. Is it a kindly face? It's THE kindly face. If you had a fleet of puppies and needed them looking after, this would be the face you'd choose to protect your puppies. Would you give him a simple task to do, expecting it to be carried out to instructions? Absolutely not. You would expect to ask him to hand you a slice of bread and then turn around to find he'd disappeared, turning up 8 hours later in another town with no trousers on and covered in bees. A kindly idiot. A sort of philosopher poet who never made sense in his lifetime but found centuries later to be the greatest thinker of the age. A street magician with no magic. The plucky but ultimately hapless minor love interest in a marvel film.

The Daily Telegraph is COMPLETELY losing its shit:

"I hope you enjoy horror films, dear readers, for British politics is about to be turned into an infernal, soul-destroying hellscape worthy of the sickest of Hollywood minds …"

Pues menos mal. Pero no lo bastante reprobable para ser típico, parece. En fin...
