That text is way to friendly about select().
On Linux, APIs are really not built anymore with select() in mind, i.e. the assumption is that fds are now cheap, and people throw around with fds a lot in newer apis (i.e. consider bpf apis, cgroupv2 apis, pidfds, which all use a lot of fds). This will backfire if you use select() however, badly, because of the 1K limit.
See my comments about select() here:
Welp, I got my answers and the Yen is at its weakest level in a third of a century so it looks like I'll be able to tell you how it works from a first-hand perspective in about 2-4 weeks' time.
(FreeWrite didn't appeal because it's cloud-reliant. This thing uses UTF-8 text files and an SD card. Also, I've been pining for a Pomera since I saw one in Japan in 2007. Add 18 years of incremental improvements to what is basically a Japanese business writing tool …)

The new Tony Blair Institute report on public sector automation savings classifies the potential to automate a task based on… how much GPT-4 classifies a task as automatable.

That's sensible. I've put my naming arguments on the forum. We'll see if anyone there cares to engage with them.
But I agree that getting the flag separation rolled out is a much higher priority. Now I know it's a WIP, any energy I put in will be to help that rollout.

Yesterday I came across an episode of a podcast I previously did not know about. I'm not a fan of podcasts generally so I do not promote them as a rule, but for JAWS users I thought this provided a lot of food for thought and some interesting ideas came out of it. I thought I may even take up one or two of them myself!
The podcast episode is called "What would you like to see next in JAWS, as a screen reader user?" You'll need to sit down with a cup of tea when this is on because it's quite lengthy, but by and large it was well put together.
I did write some comments back to the hosts, so listen to the ep and then come back and read my comments below if you would like to.
The link to the episode is here.
storage.pinecast.net/podcasts/…
Comments from me:
I came across this podcast completely by accident when browsing the local timeline of this instance and I found it an interesting discussion. I had no idea about your podcast previously.
Thank you for the one or two name checks.
Largely I agree with a lot of what Robin had to say.
1. Definitely tell the English speaking distributors to put up or shut up. That's a given. We must, must, get to this point of monthly or annual subscription.
2. Robin's phrase bank. That's a bit of an old chessnut. We've had that in Leasey for 10 years now, so I'm sure if Vispero really wanted to do that they could.
3. A script store. I see a lot of problems with that, probably quite a few you haven't thought about.
4. Repetitive text.
I honestly don't think this problem is as severe as Robin is leading us to believe. I think a lot of it is related to the fact that applications are becoming less script-dependent on the part of JAWS.
Certainly there are lots of scripts per application but often the focus now is on obtaining information directly from the app which is sending the spoken output to the screen-reader. The Microsoft Outlook calendar for many years is a real case in point.
That used to be heavily script dependent so there was a good deal of control over what was spoken and how it was spoken. Now, that doesn't happen.
So as well as plenty of additional text which noone really wants to hear, sometimes that text will be repeated due to various factors.
There needs to be plenty of communication with Microsoft and other bodies so as to allow for lots of customisation when a developer is sending messages to a screen-reader, and the model of excellence here is Zoom Conferencing, because they have made a start on exactly that. You can choose what it is you would like to be announced.
