A five-year-old bug which terribly affects NVDA's ability to interact with Windows 10/11's language switcher via ALT+SHIFT or Windows+Space. I get the point about bug priorities, but doesn't something as pestering and duplicable as this one deserve to be fixed more quickly? After many years of tolerating this and with more multilingual passages that I should handle daily, I'm seriously about to throw in the towel and switch to JAWS.

@jonathan859 Honestly it's not that JAWS is perfect - it also has its own issues. However, basic stuff like ALT+SHIFT to alter languages there works flawlessly, MS Office support is better with more hotkeys to access various areas, and it doesn't suffer from NVDA's verbosity for going into and out of nested HTML elements. JAWS also handles language support more gracefully so, unlike NVDA, if you enable TTS language-switching for a profile, it won't apply it to other voice profiles. And with JAWS, unlike NVDA, if you press ALT+SHIFT to alter the typing language, the TTS language will also be altered.

Fossil-Energie-Lobbyisten bezahlten offenbar Geld an einen Verein für exklusiven Zugang als „Ehrengäste“ zu nicht öffentlichen Hinterzimmertreffen mit Verkehrsminister Wissing.

Und wir dachten, Klimaaktivisten bräuchten Trecker und Misthaufen, um Gehör zu finden. Dabei braucht es einfach nur genug KOHLE fürs "visiting with Wissing".

Es ist wirklich eine Schande, wie unser aller Lebensgrundlage von sogenannten Verantwortungsträgern verhökert wird.

As I understand the BSOD today became more popular than ever, truly becoming mainstream and reported about all over the news. Of course, in systemd we are ahead of the curve, as usual, and if you too want to experience your very own BSOD we have your back. Enjoy:

Finally no need to feel left out again, just because you use Linux! 💖💘💝

Everyone's disability is different. I am constantly struggling to make fonts large enough that I can actually discern / read them while fitting enough on the screen to do the thing I need.

Trying to visually disambiguate a 1-2 pixel wide line among a SEA of swimming characters is an INCREDIBLE struggle for me.

In addition to being blind in one eye and low vision in the other, I have astigmus, so my eye literally jumps around uncontrollably.

This is why accessibility is SO challenging.

Have you ever thought how much of your personal data is stored online? 😳

Hallo zusammen! 👋

Wir haben einen Bericht über die Barriere-Freiheit in Sachsen-Anhalt veröffentlicht. 📰

Der Bericht ist in Leichter Sprache. 📝

Viele Menschen haben uns erzählt, was es für Probleme gibt. 🚧

Zum Beispiel: Treppen, schlechte Straßen und keine barrierefreien Toiletten. 🚽

We think our project's journey from nearly dead to thriving is an awesome story with lessons for any OSS project. Watch @ryanleesipes tell that story in today's #GUADEC keynote at 21:45 UTC/ 15:45 Mountain. @gnome is streaming their talks (thank you!), and you can catch his talk here: youtube.com/live/jS7NzYqxH3o?f…

Überlegungen zum #FahrradFreitag

Jetzt könnte man sagen, es kollidieren Interessen im August - die #CMKoeln vs. @SheDrivesMobility

Ob die #FahrradbubbleKöln eine Begegnung der beiden Veranstaltungen hinbekommt? Vielleicht radelt die #cmcologne ja gegen 18.15h über die Universitätsstraße, dumdidum. Und #katjadiehl, @kidicalmasskoeln und @radkomm holen gerade nochmals etwas frische Luft am #AlbertusMagnus -Denkmal, dumdidum.

@fahrradkoeln, wie steht's?
Katja, wäre das möglich?

#Libervia se joint aux autres signataires de la lettre ouverte pour soutenir #NLnet/le programme #NGI qui se voient couper le financement pour 2025.

C'est grâce à ce programme que je peux travailler actuellement à plein temps sur le projet, et que nous avons pu implémenter:
- la passerelle #ActivityPub <=> #XMPP
- le chiffrement de bout en bout à l'état de l'art
- Les appels audio/video 1:1, contrôle à distance et conferences (travail en cours)
