Did you catch the #Blog last week? We had an article on the new (to NVDA 2024.2) command to jump between text paragraphs. We had some great feedback and gave the article a good update, so do check it out if you haven't already, be sure to try the feature, and let us know how you find it!

After encouraging you to catch up on last week's blog post... I completely forgot to attach the link (which I had copied to include)! Here it is: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…

(#NVDA has commands for jumping between text paragraph, but it doesn't have a command to prompt me to include the link I copied before I post - something for a future update!)

#Monday #Oops




Some years ago Fracture Sounds made a library called 'Box Factory' in which they abused a great deal of boxes of all shapes and sizes, and it's very fun. I made a silly track using said library called 'A Bunch Of boxes' and this is what it does.

in reply to David Goldfield

I still say someone else should take over operations. Closing something as valuable as AppleVis is a shame.

I'm old enough to remember when this would be displayed on their platform because of a single browser support.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

just to clarify. FIrefox isn't a supported browser. And don't tell me "it's beta". Because you'll sound like a Googler, and I don't mean this as a compliment.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

there is probably some API Firefox is missing, and the tiny user share makes it impractical to support, been there myself. At some point you have to own the browser choices you make.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

I tried Firefox and Chrome on my Android phone and basically every browser on my Linux desktop. (Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Edge, and even GNOME Web.) Nothing is supported.

Apple is total clown shoes. They must be restricting by user agent string. There's no reason it shouldn't work on Linux, especially in GNOME Web / Epiphany.



The first talks for today begin streaming at 10:00 AM KST (01:00 UTC). What happens if I delete setup.py?: a live demo of upgrading to PEP-518 Python packaging in Venue 5: Somin, Debian Brasil BoF in Venue 6: Pado. There are 2 non-streamed sessions planned: Introduction to LibreOffice Korean Translations (Wiki & UI Translations) in Venu7: CEO, and DebConf bursary team BoF in Venue 8: Hyorim. #debian #debconf24 #busan #korea #debiankorea micronews.debian.org/2024/1722… #debian

#MastodonForHarris has reached $400,000 after an initial goal of just $1,000.

As pledged, I smashed that subscribe button for Senator Tammy Baldwin, perhaps the greatest representative Wisconsin will ever have.

Next Senator gets adopted at $500,000!

Nachdem ich Oktober 2022 die Verkehrspolitik in Paris aus nächster Nähe erlebt habe und nun London mit seiner Ultra Low Emission Zone ULEZ und seiner Citymaut, die zu messbaren und erlebbaren Verbesserungen führt (kaum Autos in der City), finde ich das Gewese ums Auto in Deutschland verblüffend bis peinlich. Wichtig: Die ruralen Gebiete von F und GB hängen nach wie vor sehr stark am Auto. Aber auch dort ist der Zuwachs an E-Autos deutlich. Zu ULEZ siehe u.a. mastodonapp.uk/@joaocosta/1128… 1/x


Ah ah ah !

"Pour info j’ai vu des polémiques apparaître sur une soi disant moquerie hier lors de la cérémonie des JO. Renseignement pris la référence n'est pas du tout la Cène de Léonard de Vinci.

C'est le Festin des Dieux de Jan Harmensz van Biljert, peint vers 1635 et conservée au Musée Magnin à Dijon.

Les dieux de l'Olympe célèbrent le mariage de Thétis et Pélée ; au centre de la table, ce n'est pas le Christ, mais Apollon couronné. Bacchus-Dionysos est allongé au premier plan."

in reply to 🇵🇸 Bénédicte in

C'est dommage car j'adore les blasphèmes, surtout quand ils font rager les fachos. Comme quoi c'est vraiment nul les JOs.

Liebe Leute,

ich bin soeben auf meine bislang längste Fahrradreise aufgebrochen. Ich werde in den nächsten Monaten von Freiburg, über die Alpen, durch den Balkan, die Türkei & den Kaukasus bis ans Kaspische Meer nach Baku fahren, um dort 100 Tage und über 5000 km später im November von der nächsten Weltklimakonferenz, zu berichten & für das Fahrrad als “Zukunftstechnologie”, im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel, zu werben.
Ich werde mich immer mal wieder von der Reise melden❤️

Liebe Grüße, Ingwar

in reply to Quin

Wait... Is that displaying on a screen near your gate? How has that system still not recovered from CrowdStrike? That message is due to CrowdStrike issues.
in reply to Brandon Tyson

@BTyson no, that message is due to a faulty boot. Millions of screens displayed it long before Crowdstrike

I'm looking for work!

I've worked on Mac apps like Growl and Adium, did QA and integration on Apple's Foundation framework, and developed custom analysis tools for Field Team 6. I've also done a wide variety of my own tools, mostly in Python, C, or Objective-C.

I live in SF; can do Bay Area commute or remote.

A je tu zase #copyrightiade prokazující, že ČT24 má ve skutečnosti dvě varianty - ta lepší je ta v DVB-T2, ta horší je pak na satelitu a internetu.

Ale ostatně co by člověk čekal od akce, která si prolobovala svou vlastní instanci autorského zákona:
zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/2000-60

Vždycky si říkám, kdo bude další se svým vlastním zákonem na "ochranu symboliky."

in reply to Ondřej Caletka

A to chtějí aby poplatky platil každý, kdo má přístup k internetu. A pak dostane takto osekanou službu…
in reply to Marián Kyral

poplatky bych si toho radši netahal. Ostatně ten problém není na straně ČT, jako spíš na straně výboru-jehož-jméno-je-zakázáno-vyslovit, který si pod rouškou "ochrany symboliky" proloboval neskutečně drakonický copyright a kterému to bohužel stále prochází.

in reply to Ondřej Caletka

@mkyral Pak ale nemůžou chtít za internetovou verzi stejné poplatky jako ze terrestriál, protože nenabízejí shodný obsah.
in reply to Tritol

@tritol128 @mkyral to je nesmyslný argument. Veřejná služba funguje jako celek. To neznamená, že všechen obsah musí být vždy dostupný všemi kanály.

Ostatně ČT taky vyrábí třeba několik pořadů exkluzivně pro iVysílání, takže lidé, co nemají internet, je neuvidí. To ale neznamená, že by měli platit míň.

in reply to Ondřej Caletka

@tritol128 @mkyral Co několik pořadů... V podstatě všechny dodatečné sportovní kanály (dnes pod hlavičkou ČT Sport Plus) jsou čistě internetové. Často jich běží i několik souběžně, na terestrice to nikde není.
in reply to Ondřej Caletka

@mkyral Jo, to je ten výbor, který se zpolitizoval svou otevřenou podporou jednoho senátního kandidáta za ČSSD a následně jednoho hejtmana a kandidáta za tutéž stranu.
