I have failed to promote this very much.

In a couple weeks I’ll be presenting at A11y Camp in Melbourne, Australia.

On Tuesday, 22 October I am running a workshop:
a11ycamp.com.au/workshops/#wsh…

I'm keynoting the talks on Wednesday, 23 October:

So if hashtags #accessibility and/or #inclusion are your deal, then you should attend. You can get 10% of tickets with the code A11Y FRIEND10.

Towards the end of 2023, I submitted an issue to the SCRCPY (ScreenCopy) Android mirroring tool regarding TalkBack keyboard commands not being grabbed properly.
github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/i…
I'm happy to say that as of a few weeks ago, a fix to the issue of alt+arrows being intercepted by the SCRCPY application itself has been corrected. Now, as long as the -K switch is applied (set the keyboard to uhid) and --shortcut-mod is set to anything other than any of the alt keys...

anyone with a relatively modern Android device properly configured for debugging over ADB can now not only control their Android device with their computer as if their computer were a physical keyboard connected to the phone, but also receive crystal clear, low-latency audio-visual output including TalkBack speech. This makes SCRCPY the first all-round screen mirroring/remote control utility to become fully accessible.

Not sure why it's the TBI and not the FBI coming down on these guys, but if they're not lying about FinCen access then that's a pretty big deal.

"NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A well-known Arizona election denier says his group — working through a conspiracy-minded assistant police chief in tiny Millersville, Tennessee — gained access to a highly confidential federal database that tracks Americans’ banking transactions and other financial data.

Mark Finchem, who pushed lies about the 2020 presidential election and waged an unsuccessful campaign for Arizona’s secretary of state in 2022, made the stunning admissions during a series of recent interviews with far-right podcasters and in a “press conference” staged in Las Vegas to support Millersville Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor.

Taylor's department and residence were raided last month by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation following questions raised by an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation.

"There's a system called FinCen where we're actually able to track money laundering," Finchem said two weeks ago in that “press conference” to which only other far-right podcasters and conspiracy theorists were invited.'

Am SA 05. Okt. hatte ich zum ersten Mal Todesangst beim Radfahren. Wir waren zw. Sandebeck & Himmighausen (Kreis Höxter, Teutoburger Wald, NRW) auf offiziell ausgeschilderten Radrouten auf geteerten Feldwegen unterwegs. Ohne Hinweisschilder, Absperrungen od Streckenposten fand hier ein Autorennen (Zeitfahren?) statt. 2x sprangen wir in den Graben, sonst wären wir von einem Auto erfasst worden. Weiß jemand etwas von solch einer Veranstaltung? Konnte im Netz nix finden #fedibikes #fahrradbubble

Am 5.9. beschließt die FDP-Fraktion ein Papier zu Migration. Von 'Brot' oder 'Seife' steht nichts drin. fdpbt.de/beschluss/positionspa…

Am 24.9. beantragt d. AfD wörtlich "Brot, Bett und Seife" im Bundestag. Debatte am 25.9.
dip.bundestag.de/vorgang/brot-…

Am 5.10. erklärt FDP-Fraktionschef Dürr der Bild: „Künftig sollten die Leistungen für alle ausreisepflichtigen Asylbewerber aufs Bett-Seife-Brot-Minimum gekürzt werden.“ m.bild.de/politik/inland/plan-…

Die FDP kopiert 1:1 die AfD. Das ist der eigentliche Skandal.

Do you speak Croatian (hr), Breton (br), or Scottish Gaelic( gd)?

All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!

"Google's latest flagship smartphone raises concerns about user privacy and security. It frequently transmits private user data to the tech giant before any app is installed. Moreover, the Cybernews research team has discovered that it potentially has remote management capabilities without user awareness or approval."
