@fireborn @FluidEscence surely someone has sounded off in the comments letting this idiot know he's an idiot?


Croatian is also available on the linux operating system.



Хорватский доступен в том числе и для дистрибутивов линукс.


Сегодня выпущен хорватский язык для синтезатора речи RHVoice. Обновление для системы Андроид скоро и постепенно выйдет с обновлениями для других языков, запланированных на близкое будущее. #RHVoice #хорватский


Today i have published the croatian language for RHVoice. On android the language will roll out gradually with more updated languages i plan to make. #RHVoice #Croatian


Are we still needing to watch Live #BBC #TV with a dish or tv aerial if we want #audio-description still, does anyone know?
#iPlayer's done a lot to get it's on-demand description content up faster, but what about live?
in reply to Sean Randall

I'm hoping that the launch of the Internet based Freely helps us with this somehow but details are lacking. Also if you have Sky Stream you can view the channels live with audio description through their system.
in reply to Sean Randall

To my knowledge, there are no legal, live, direct-from-broadcaster TV streams with audio description anywhere in the world. From some responses, it seems that there are some IPTV platforms that may offer access to the AD track, but I don't believe there are any of those in the UK. Happy Thursday.

@jscholes Poland has some (in our CanalPlus app). Some channels rely on the provider's infrastructure for streaming instead of CanalPlus themselves, and they don't have AD, but most channels have it.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Nice, I stand corrected. Do they rely on another device, such as a set-top box in your home, or is it freeform internet streaming? @cachondo
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes It's internet streaming, usually tied to a TV plan for billing.

I know they sell "internet-only" plans now, but I don't know how good they are.

They also do some VOD, and some of that also has audio description.

in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes While that may be true for the networks' streaming services, e.g., ABC/Hulu, CBS/paramount, NBC/Peacock, some traditional TV and IP TV providers do pass through the secondary audio track for the live channels they offer on their respective streaming service in the U.S. @cachondo
in reply to Timothy Wynn

@twynn Thanks to your feedback and comments from @miki, I've updated my original comment.

I think my primary aim was to highlight how disappointing it is that in 2007, the iPlayer was a pioneer in the space by being the first streaming service with described VOD material. Since then, they've barely innovated and have been taken over in the race, and in the UK you can still only watch live TV with AD if you have a TV receiver. There are no standalone IPTV services that pass through the secondary audio track(s).

this was meant to be a DM to myself to shame me into getting another strand when i reach the end of the floss.

sorry i’m just obsessed with this particular emote from the Frieren pack. it’s so perfect.



I can't tell what I had for lunch yesterday and I will 100% forget anything with no deadline attached or involving filling in a form.

But if we are having a conversation about a niche topic, bug, or thorny socio technical challenges you bet I am able to remember and produce a link to a GH issue, blog post, forum discussion or research paper almost right there and then.
Thank you #ADHD

I can hardly find the words to express how I feel, but I am immensely proud. Today marks the one-year anniversary since I launched Accessible Android. It feels like time has flown by as we celebrate everything the community has achieved. I want to thank everyone who has supported me on this beautiful journey with their encouraging words. A special thanks to my team, whom I've never met personally, but who believed in me and stood by my side to make our dream a reality together @Kareen_k @amir

We need to go back to putting programs on cartridges. If you want to do accounting you would need to turn off your computer, pull out the internet cartridge and shove in a different one.

If it crashes and you lose your work you could then call a special phone number listed in a magazine ad and talk to a teenager who will tell you to take Excel out and blow on it and try again.

There are no downsides to this proposal.



Can someone give advice on making some HTML code for a "Share on Mastodon" button to be placed on a website or blog?

I know we've had a thread about this before, but there was some disagreement over best solution. Would be interesting to hear latest thoughts on this!

(Asking as @heidilifeldman is in need of this code! 🙂 "I need code that creates a button and takes people to a URL from which to share.")

in reply to Fedi.Tips

this sounds complicated, because surely it's very much instance dependent?

How many skip links is too many? Is it useful to have skip links to each of the main functions within a page, eg more than just to 'content', or is it best to try and be conservative in amount?
in reply to Hidde

There isn’t a universal answer. Use keyboard nav on your own page and see what feels right. Often the answer isn’t reducing the number of skip links, but reducing the number of navigation widgets.

Most times, more than 2 skip-links is a design smell that points somewhere deeper than skip links themselves.

I have now spent over half my life in the company of @missunderstood. It is a long time for her to put up with me, but she's done a wonderful job. I am a lucky man. Through thick and thin (and much fattening due to her delightful cooking), we've been through a lot together.

in reply to Sean Randall

Aw, that's lovely! Is it your anniversary, cos if it is, have a happy one. If it isn't, what you said was just as special, if not more.
in reply to Lulu Hartgen

@lulu_bear it is, not wedding but when we just decided, together that we'd try and make something, together. A magical moment. :)
in reply to Sean Randall

Congratulations! May you have many more happy years together!


Destructatron OS 2.0 has just been installed! No more teenage years I guess, that went quicker than I thought it would.

Derek attributes his experience with NVDA instrumental to his career success and since working at Google has found numerous ways to improve accessibility, both internally and externally.

"A product built by the community, for the community, is better than one built by some company, simply because the community is in charge of what goes into it." - Derek Riemer

GitHub has released an insightful article to accompany the documentary shared earlier showcasing NVDA, OSARA, & REAPER. The article interviews NVDA co-founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh, as well as Derek Riemer, who has used NVDA since 2011. Derek has contributed to NVDA itself & written over 20 add-ons. He also now works as a software engineer at Google.

Interesting how being vegetarian is in general more accepted/respected by other folks than trying not to fly too often.


because mastodon.social obviously is the mastodon server with the worst funding and it's definitely not small instances that could need some more money to pay for infrastructure, moderators, etc /s

just call your app mastodon.social if you want it to be a mastodon.social client, jesus christ. it's almost as if mastodon isn't even meant to be a federated server software


My interview with @Tutanota is live! We discuss the world of end-to-end encryption, user privacy, and so much more! I asked some tough questions and it only reassured me their team is the real deal—keep rocking it! 🔥

in reply to ludiofines

@ludiofines Hi there, you can send encrypted emails to Gmail and other platforms by sharing a password with that recipient. They will receive an email to their Gmail account which includes a link to an encrypted Tuta mailbox where they can use the password to view your message.

We recommend sharing these passwords via an encrypted messaging application like Signal.

in reply to Tuta

Then I need to get another channel of communication to 'securely' transmit this password to read this email. And of course I don't mention that this link has to be read via a web browser which is another hornet nest. Frankly I don't see how that's is less complicated than exchanging gpg keys with my party where i don't need additional channels which, by the way, was tagged as difficult in the video.


hahaha For my curiosity, I got llama-3.1-405B-Q2_K to run on my mac with m3 Max 64GB. The model size is about 151GB, and I could offload 47 out of 127 layers to GPU. The problem is it takes more than 2 minutes (139 seconds) to generate one token. lol #LLM #ML #AI @vick21 @ZBennoui

Hey peeps, I loved Google domains but I'm super skeptical of squarespace.

What's an actual good solid, just handles domains and doesn't mess around domain registrar these days?

@alcinnz I use joker.com - they just do domain registration and (optionally) host the DNS records if you want.
