Do you love hearing your NVDA say "row 1 through 2 column 2 table with 4 rows and 2 columns row 3 through 4 column 2 table with 2 rows and 2 columns row 1 column 1 ⁠" and "row 3 through 4 column 2 table with 2 rows and 2 columns row 1 column 1 ⁠" you don't need to look far, just read a Wikipedia page like this one. ("Acquisition history") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Sc… after the name rang a bell from the COVID era for me, I looked them up and found this gem.

@ppatel @Jage I usually keep them on mostly to get the experience of the default settings as close as I can (as my QA / test-centric brain has forced me into it.) Also, I worry that if I were to disable these, I wouldn't know whether I've stepped into a table and more crucially its boundaries or dimensions, something that's helpful info to me to have so I know how many blocks to navigate by within my memory.

@ppatel @Jage I wish you could disable announcements for the table role but still get dimensions (like 3 rows and 4 columns) - looking at some sites I visit, it could be extremely difficult to tell whether the part of the page belongs to the table data or as actual text on it, which would still disorient me a lot. I do disable some, like clickable elements that I would have on for testing, as those tend to annoy me the most on sites hearing it repeated.

@jmd2000 @ppatel @Jage this is where I do wish NVDA had site-specific settings though, because it would be nice to have that info off for certain domains and not others. If I'm just looking at specs for a product or something like that on Wikipedia the table info just serves even less use once it's more than like 10 columns wide.

Premiér Robert Fico sa vyjadril k aktuálnej snahe opozície zvolať mimoriadnu schôdzu parlamentu a pokúsiť sa odvolať ministra spravodlivosti Borisa Suska. Ten pomohol bývalému špeciálnemu prokurátorovi Dušanovi Kováčikovi na slobodu. l.rockosbasilisk.com/UKdFA

To clarify, I know what parser games are in general, but am unsure what "EGA" means in the context of a modern Windows game. Is it recreating an EGA aesthetic using a modern engine? Is the underlying parser-based game using an interpreter like Glulx or a Z-machine interpreter?

I want to determine if it would be feasible to make the game accessible to blind people using screen readers.

How to increase the timeout for a timeline fetch operation?

I'm currently trying to use a tool named FediFetcher, specifically to try backfilling certain Lemmy groups that are taking much longer than usual to sync, sometimes taking up to one week to receive a message. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the step where I try to fetch the lists where these groups are, because it inevitably fails due to a timeout of 60 seconds that I cannot figure out how to raise. For instance, this is the output of FediFetcher:

$ bash fedifetcher.sh
2024-08-08 15:50:10 UTC: Starting FediFetcher
2024-08-08 15:50:10 UTC: Getting context for 677 lists
2024-08-08 15:51:10 UTC: Job failed after 0:01:00.229908.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1640, in <module>
    timeline_toots = get_list_timeline(arguments.server, user_list, token, arguments.max_list_length)
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1424, in get_list_timeline
    posts = get_paginated_mastodon(url, max, {
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1043, in get_paginated_mastodon
    raise Exception(
Exception: Error getting URL https://hub.azkware.net/api/v1/timelines/list/1. Status code: 504

I've been digging through the source code and cannot figure out whether the limit is on Friendica itself, on PHP (or FPM), or on the database. This is a list of files, and the edits I have added, in the hopes of raising that 60-second timeout:
  • /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf:


innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 600

  • /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/friendica.conf:


pm.max_requests = 0
request_terminate_timeout = 1d
php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 600
php_admin_value[set_time_limit] = 0

  • /var/www/friendica/config/local.config.php:


'worker_max_duration' => [
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_CRITICAL   => 1440,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_HIGH       => 20,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_MEDIUM     => 120,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_LOW        => 360,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_NEGLIGIBLE => 1440
]

And of course, the "Network Timeout" option in the main admin page was raised from 60 to 600, to no avail. Any suggestions?

I think I found the proper place to change it, for those that are in a similar issue. On your site's nginx settings file (in my case /etc/nginx/conf.d/hub.azkware.net.d/friendica.conf), edit this section to add the following parameters (which I copied from the defaults for Nextcloud):
 location ~ \.php(?:$|/) {
    fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 600;
    fastcgi_connect_timeout 600;
    proxy_connect_timeout 600;
    proxy_send_timeout 600;
    proxy_read_timeout 600;
    send_timeout 600;
  }

Спит Москва. В ночной столице
В этот поздний звездный час
Только Сталину не спится -
Сталин думает о нас.

Сегодня выдался богатый день, а это я только одно издание посмотрел.

- Путин подписал закон об ужесточении наказания за пропаганду наркотиков
- Путин подписал закон о наказании военнослужащих за гаджеты
- Путин разрешил признавать любые иностранные организации нежелательными
- Путин подписал закон о запрете треш-стримов

Особенно интересен закон про запрет "треш-стримов". Везде его называют именно так, хотя из текста следует, что под запрет попадают видео с любым противоправным контентом, т.е. не обязательно выгонять свою девушку на мороз или бить бабушку, можно показывать процесс дачи взятки или дискредитировать тех, кого нельзя дискредитировать. И в качестве наказания там обязательная конфискация инструментов производства материалов (компьютера как минимум т.е.). И "зарегистрированные СМИ" под него не попадают, поэтому когда РТ показывают расстрел из миномёта, то это не оно.

С наркотиками не так интересно, но тоже резиновый закон и под него попадает масса уже существующих произведений с 1 сентября 2025.

Путин подписал закон о наказании военнослужащих за гаджеты

Президент Владимир Путин подписал закон о введении ответственности для военнослужащих, которые используют личные гаджеты в зоне боевых действий. Речь идет об устройствах, которые позволяют хранить или пересылать фото, видео и данные о геолокации.

Buster is a browser extension that solves captchas for you.

It leverages the fact that blind people should be allowed to use the web too.

github.com/dessant/buster

I love this for 2 reasons:

1. Fuck Captchas
2. Fuck Captcha Companies getting free labor from people to train AI.

I hate this because i fear if it catches on this will negatively impact blind people's ability to use the web.

As I told the @washingtonpost , Elon Musk’s political advocacy has erased any trust in the platform’s neutrality & spotlights which accounts get restricted, suspended, supported, or promoted. Neutrality has left the building. Institutions must adapt, faster.

do not drink something when you listen to this. there is your warning. so I wanted to see how bixby sounded when it spelled something. I started bixby on my watch and asked it how to spell something. I wasn't expecting what happened. it switched to my pphone, and used my personal voice to spell it. I was hoping for the watch to spell it with the voice I have selected on my watch. that did not happen. so here is bixby using my voice to spell something. this is rather painful, but funny to listen to.
