I really like the idea of, instead of collaborating on a document via (for example) Google's servers and Google Docs, being able to have collaborators' computers talk to each other directly and share edits that way.
I really hope that "local-first" gains at least the sort of steam the FOSS movement has — as I've seen people comment, FOSS doesn't help if your computation is happening on someone else's computer.
Local first has some really gnarly problems that you pretty much need centralized servers to fix, one way or another. Direct connectivity between people isn't possible any more. THe fact that most people are on devices that heavily restrict background app activity to make the batteries actually last, the IPV4 shortage, lack of IPV6 adoption and CG NATS don't help either.
Isaac Hayes III posted on Sunday that ♦️Donald Trump and his campaign have been served in their #federal #lawsuit alleging 134 instances of #copyright #infringement.
Just like anyone else, ⚠️political campaigns are not allowed to use music for their own gain without permission or buying a license.
Since Trump has continued to violate the copyright of the Hayes estate, 🔸an emergency federal hearing was granted on September 3.
By choosing to disrespect the rights and work of others, Donald Trump is now forced to show up in federal civil court as the defendant in a case that could cost him millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, your New Features video is completely inaccessible to blind users since all I hear is music. There's no audio description or verbal narrative of any kind. Admittedly, you do have the transcript which is certainly accessible and it does help but at that point I'd rather just read the page containing more details about the new features.

Krásné dibré eáno mastodoňata! 🙋♀️🐕🐈 A je to tu. Venku je regulérní tma. Ani narůžovělý pásek nad obzorem. A dneska nám tu prší. Což ale beru jako opravdu příjemnou změnu. Vodu ven pořád ještě nemáme nataženou. Chodím zalívat konvemi. A to znamená konve do koupelny a z koupelny běh po zahradě.... Za letošní léto budu mít svaly jako z posilovny. 😁 Takže vstávat bobánkové a šup! Vytvářet hodnoty! Nebo tak něco. 😊 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno

The QR codes, which appear to be connected to a 'quishing' scam, were found on about 150 parking meters along the Esplanade and in the Riviera Village area, police said.
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 It does, but hopefully a human checks it from time to time. It would benefit both the blindness community and the finance community to use clear hashtags
@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
@NVAccess I thought we were mostly using NVDASR as the hashtag for NVDA? I started that on Twitter because stock related things regularly used the NVDA hashtag.
@jcsteh There weren't too many stock related things on here when we joined, so I've been trying to get the jump on them - no one actually calls NVIDIA #NVDA - it makes sense for them to use #NVIDIA if that's what they want to talk about. Most people are good with it, but I generally tag our posts with both #NVDA and #NVDAsr just in case
@jcsteh @NVAccess I don't think the average Mastodon user is big on AI investments. The distinct possibility of them gloating when the stock price tanks still exists, though.
@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

Note that there's also iaccessibility.net/. I haven't looked at it much and don't know much about it, but I see they're also doing an app directory and forums. Just flagging in case you aren't aware and wondering whether it'd make sense to collaborate.
This is Michael, the creator of iAccessibility, and we are always looking for new members to contribute to the blog, forums, and App Directory. We’d love to see you in the community, and we can always use the help around the site. We also have a WhatsApp community, and a Discord server, so we always love to see people there.

Will do. Although I hit enter directly on the link that was there. And that's what it opened. Odd how enter on the interactions works that way sometimes. Even though it shouldn't.
@we_are_spc I would check if you don’t have a virus of some sorts. That website shown on the error sounds very, very sketchy. Try to use ADWCleaner if you are on Windows.
... OKay this is effed up. I can't ghet to it from Google Chrome because of that shit you saw when I sent you the message. But when I type into MS edge...it works flawlessly. Don't ask me whly...I wouldn't be able to tell you. :( -T
All it does is give me a search deal. I've never dong a ping response before, so I dunno what I'm not doing. Especially since I coppied direectly what you sent to the clipboard.
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.

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?
@drew it does with the caveat that the TTS is part of Linux Game Manager. You can play the Toby Doom project as is without tTS enabled, but the TTS opens up access to more game mods, and to more info in death match.
@drew It should, yes. I have only seen one mod, Wolf3D where it does not read those messages. It works with Project Brutality, Starwars, and Army of Darkness for sure.
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.
