It has been three and a half months since I announced “I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.”

For that, I was granted a stipend by Google Open Source. And, I would say: I delivered on this promise—see for your self, with the next release of Papers.

Now, my project is over (but I am here to stay), and if you want to read a bit more about what I did, I’ll humbly recommend my blog post: blogs.gnome.org/camelcasenick/…

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

@dhamlinmusic Thanks for your help! To be honest, aside from about yourself, 99.9% of the time #NVDA is used to refer to NVIDIA stocks, it's spam / scam - I certainly wouldn't follow the hashtag for stock information - I'd follow the Stocks or Finance hashtags you also use. I'd be surprised if it's the only one - just looking back through, 99% of toots about SNOW are not about the stock - and that's what I was trying to do - ensure people following a hashtag get primarily ONE subject
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes @jcsteh That was my reasoning for pushing the stock people to use the company name. If you use NVIDIA, there's no confusion - there is no other entity that I'm aware of called NVIDIA. And even though their code is NVDA, the screen reader IS much more widely known as NVDA. Users who have followed us post-twitter, might not actually know what NVDASR is. In any case, if we use NVDA and stock people use NVIDIA, then everyone can follow what they actually want - one, the other, or both

Thanks for sharing. These are the times I regret I don't live close enough to London. I still fondly remember the experiencein the Harry Pinter theatre. In the US theatre is not as popular, unfortunately. New York may be the only exception, but even then... I will leave my comments off the air! :) front-end.social/@tink/1130241…

After a lot of work, I got Windows TTS for Doom pretty much the same as it has been in Linux for a while now. While working on the Windows version, I noticed that a lot of people who were playing wre not native English speakers.

I added in a setting so that the language could be set, and if the language is not English it uses Google translate to translate the text to their specified language before sending it through as speech.

I am wondering how many people who use the Linux version in Linux Game Manager would be interested in this functionality?

there is this huge article on the audiogames forum where a lot of the work is on going, and there's a lot of information from both me with the TTS stuff and one of the Toby Doom developers.

Updated my sortable tables post.

It now notes that NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, and VoiceOver / iPadOS will announce when you sort a table column.

That means VoiceOver on macOS and TalkBack do _not_ announce a sort.

Dramatically better than when I wrote it in 2021 yet still utterly inadequate.

Ihr fragt nach Zahlen - ihr findet sie natürlich in meinen Büchern :)
Hier zu den letzten Jahren der Bahnpolitik:
"von 45 100 km auf 38 400 km. Kein anderes Land hat mehr Zugstrecken stillgelegt: Dieser Anteil entspricht 40 Prozent aller in Europa stillgelegten Bahnstrecken. Das deutsche Autobahnnetz ist hingegen seit 1995 um 2002 Kilometer (18 Prozent) gewachsen."

I proto mám rád #Linux a jeho možnosti volby. Aktuálně tedy @kde #Plasma, předtím @xfce a ještě předtím #Gnome (a zkoušel jsem i mnoho jiných).
Těch možností voleb a konfigurace je tam nespočet. V případě Gnome to teď sice úplně neplatí, což je důvod, proč používám Plasmu, ale o tom to přesně je, o té možnosti volby.
Rozumím směru, kterým M$ jde a jsem rád, že mám možnost volby jiného OS.
