In tech, we need more people who enjoy maintenance and polishing existing features and fewer who enjoy adding new features. (And I’m saying that as a member of the latter group.)
Companies keep adding new features to useful products until they are no longer useful.
(As @Schrank points out, that’s partly due to how the economy currently works.)

Well y'all, I broke something. I was using Emacs, and was committing a change to a repo like always, when my audio started to studder a bit. I'd noticed that Emacspeak sounds were a big sluggish, but I thought that was Sox being sox or Pipewire messing with something as usual. So I unplugged my Dell docking station, plugged it in again, and things returned to normal until the next time I committed. This time, audio stopped, and, well, never came back. I plugged the dock into my iPhone, and it worked. Windows, worked. Linux though? Nope. Not sure what's going on, but goodness I'm tired of technology. So tired of everything changing and breaking. Google Drive changed, so I'm having to redo the whole course on Google Docs/Drive. And this was not something I was expecting and definitely not something I needed today. So I'm gonna have to look for a way to reset the dock or something.

Ideally, you want to report issues to the app's repository. The main repository, which covers a lot of general issues, is this:
github.com/nextcloud/server/is…
If you're unsure which app has the accessibility bug, you can try reporting it in the main repo.
The term "Mentions" on here means when you type an @ symbol and then the address of the account you want to mention. This is also known as @-ing (pronounced "at-ing").
Mentioning an account causes the account owner to get a notification about the post where they were mentioned, so they can go and see it.
There are lots of questions answered about mentions on Mastodon here:

If you have any other questions, let me know in the replies!
If you’ve heard of the old REAPER Dropbox folder, it’s been retired, and all the content has moved to The Hoard. No subscriptions, easy search, and no drive space worries – just grab what you need when you need it. You can download the whole package or pick specific files. It's a great resource for anyone learning/using REAPER!

človek - smrtelný vírus pre Zem

les v plamenoch fauna sa flambuje
nikoho to netankuje
nikto nič . . . tak to je

Recommendations from your own personal experience, please!
I have a lot of DRM-free ePubs for which there is no audiobook.
I'd like to convert one or two of them into audiobooks.
I use Linux.
I don't have any high end machines, but I am happy to wait for a conversion process.
I want all conversion to be done locally, using FOSS.
I am content with a generic voice, else I could provide voice samples.
Have you done this and, if so, would you recommend what you did?
If you have some extra money and would like to donate to assist with the Helene disaster in North Carolina, here are two reliable charities.
Money will be spent on food and personal supplies:

1. Digesting Knowledge: You could say that you "eat" JAWS by consuming and digesting the knowledge it provides. This means learning how to use the software effectively, understanding its features, and applying them to navigate your computer.
2. Feasting on Features: You could say you "feast" on the features of JAWS by exploring and utilizing all the different tools and commands it offers to enhance your computer experience.
Necesito un violín de tamaño subatómico para el señor que ganó un concurso de arte con una imagen hecha con IA y ahora se queja de que no puede registrarla ni percibir derechos por ella y todo el mundo se la está copiando.

❓ Wie kommt 'der Radfahrer' unter 'das Auto'?
Berichte wie "Radfahrer von Auto erfasst" klammern den Fahrer des Autos aus und somit auch seine potentielle Verantwortung. Als handelnder Mensch bleibt nur der Radfahrer, was ihm unterschwellig die Schuld zuschreibt.
Mit der nächsten #CriticalMass #Jena möchten wir darauf aufmerksam machen, dass die Berichterstattung einen großen Einfluss auf die Wahrnehmung der Umstände und das Image der Verkehrsteilnehmenden hat.

Rust is nice, but I really dislike this "rewrite it in Rust" stuff. It's tiring for any #FreeSoftware maintainer to be bombarded by this and honestly, as an opinion, some of the projects I™ have seen doing this have lost contributors, some have even been stopped for months.
#Rust Community, please create your alternatives written in Rust since it is so urgent, instead of putting this unnecessary pressure on communities already overloaded with demands.

Jakiego sposobu użyli? Otóż podali się za policjantów, którzy wykryli grupę przestępczą w banku, która chce wyprowadzić oszczędności wielu ludzi do banków w rajach podatkowych. Oni już wszystko wiedzą, ale ta grupa w banku jest kryta przez obecną władze i oni nie mogą nic zrobić. Zaproponowali za to, że mogą zabezpieczyć pieniądze cioci i przechować je u siebie.
Frajerstwo? Na maksa! Tylko dlaczego ciocia dała się na coś takiego nabrać? Mój brat podpowiedział, że może ciocia jest foliarką i dlatego wierzy w takie rzeczy. Ponieważ mam teraz dostęp do jej konta email, to przejrzałem wiadomości od 25.09 do 1.10:
