Any friends know if the new Braille pen 24-cell is available to purchase in the US somehow? BraillePen by Harpo. (their contact page is at braillepen.com/contact/)
I haven't seen Harpo products in the U.S. for a minute. I wonder how much it's going for? That size of display is a harder sell now with the free eReaders.
@Jage ah yeah interesting, didn't realize they're a Polish company. Wanted to pick one up for my partner - they like the portability of the smaller displays. Looking at the Dealer page they list some in Mexico for North America, and their UK dealer does not list the product which was odd and thwarted me from finding a price. (braillepen.com/contact/) - suppose I'll also fill that form out and see what they get back to me with.
This could be a very good solution for those not wanting to connect to their phone hotspot, as that can be a battery drain. There's lots of potential here. T-Mobile launches first-of-a-kind 5G connectivity device with a special introductory discount - PhoneArena phonearena.com/news/T-Mobile-l…
Mostly small improvements, e.g. the AXML parser now supports offset16/compact/sparse ResTable type/entry, no major changes. I have not yet found a test case for FLAG_SPARSE, so support is untested and help is appreciated!
NB: this release changes the license from GPLv3+ to AGPLv3+.
• change license from GPLv3+ to AGPLv3+.
• binres.py: support offset16, compact, FLAG_SPARSE (untested) etc.
• binres.py: small fixes, warn "please file an issue" for untested/notimplemented code.

Доступна платформа совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, перешедшая на лицензию GPLv3
Опубликован выпуск платформы совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, позволяющей развернуть на своих серверах систему для совместной работы с репозиториями Git, напоминающую по решаемым задачам GitHub, Bitbucket и Gitlab. Forgejo является форком проекта Gitea, который в свою очередь ответвился от платформы Gogs. Отделение Forgejo произошло в 2022 году после попыток коммерциализации Gitea и перехода управления в руки коммерческой компании. Проект Forgejo придерживается принципов независимого управления и подконтрольности сообществу. На использование Forgejo перешёл Git-хостинг Codeberg.org. Код проекта написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

KALENDÁŘ 2025 Moji milí sledující. Už podruhé se pouštím do akce, která mi přináší dost starostí, ale také hodně radosti. Kalendář mohl vzniknout jen díky vám a vašemu zájmu. V anketě jste rozhodli, že po červených utažských skalách z minulého roku, to letos bude mix severoamerických přírodních krás. Cena kalendáře je 350,- Kč. Zahrnuje výrobu kalendáře, pevnou přepravní obálku, zabalení a cenu poštovného v ČR. Nejedná se o výdělečný podnik, cena kryje náklady.

"Until now, there has been no standard for the secure movement of credentials, and often the movement of passwords or other credentials has been done in the clear."
This is true, but... there is also still no standard for any of that. The specs are mostly empty placeholders.

My very basic, personal Web site has reached the point at which I could write a blog post. I have now written a brief post documenting the decisions made in the site's development so far. I hope someone finds this information useful. jasonjgw.net/blog/technology/w… #WebDevelopment #accessibility
As far as I can see (I have some usable vision), the site is indistinguishable from one with no CSS. Might be a good idea to double check the link to the CSS.
Ah, I think I found the problem. The link to the stylesheet is a relative path, but it assumes that the base URL is in the root directory of the site. That's not the case for blog posts.
@matt The best way for me to detect such an issue as a screen reader user would presumably be to query font attributes (as long as I know what the defaults would be in the absence of the correct CSS). The slightly more interesting approach would be to submit a screenshot to an image-processing large language model and ask for a description of the styling.

Overcast. If you are a Overcast user, and you currently pay the subscription of $10 a year, please be aware that Marco Arment is planning on raising the subscription price. The new price has not yet been determined, but could increase to $15 a year. You should know that the $10 a year has been in effect since 2016, 8 years. He discussed this on his podcast Under the Radar, which you can check out here... relay.fm/radar/303
@overcastfm I have no issue with Overcast raising the subscription price if that's what the developer feels is necessary in order to ensure its sustainability. However, I recently chose to let my subscription lapse due to the recent VoiceOver regressions. While in a playlist, finding two buttons announced as "dimmed, pop-up button" after some podcasts was the last straw, along with double-tapping a podcast, hearing "play button" and then having focus move to another button. If these two items are addressed and if show notes are spoken while focussing on a podcast, I will renew my subscription but I won't subscribe to an app that I can no longer effectively use. As an aside, why not add "Play Podcast" as a rotor option while pointing to a podcast.
@DavidGoldfield @overcastfm I switched away from overcast because I could not dismiss the now playing, so every time I wanted to watch something new, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app.
