Sorry, it wasn't on our radar at all, as it ended up in the wrong place. I've moved it to the correct place to get some attention from our team when we're able. Thanks for reporting it and for the ping.

Putin asked a psychic, "How long will I live?"
Psychic said, "I know you'll die on a Ukrainian holiday."
Putin asks, "Which holiday?
Psychic smiled and said, "Whichever day you die, will be a Ukrainian holiday."

If all goes to plan, the whole family will vote early tomorrow. I have tomorrow and Thursday off work, and everyone else happens to be free in the afternoon, so we're going to get this out of the way. I've never voted early before. On voting days, there's an accessible machine set up so I can easily vote. I have no idea how early voting will work.

So cool! It's so weird that in the US it's so hard for people to vote as in the election day usually falls on a Tuesday, the time when people work. Why has this not ever been raised?

I'm in the middle of reading the #DoctorWho novel "the Time Travelers" by Simon Guerrier. Although it's a First Doctor novel with Ian, Barbara and Susan as the companions, it's far from the simple adventures of the first two seasons. I don't want to reveal any major spoilers but one thing that I like about it is that it establishes that Ian and Barbara both had feelings for one another. This was also established in the first episode of "Susan's War" from Big Finish. I'm very glad to see that the audio stories and the novels pursue this as I've felt for years that it made sense for Ian and Barbara to develop a deep bond, considering the situation they were unwillingly thrown into. Am I the only one who considers Ian and Barbara one of my favorite DW couples, in spite of the fact that this was never explored on screen?

Is there some kind of trick to restarting NVDA programmatically? If I try to just task schedule or python subprocess c:\program files (x86)\nvda\nvda.exe I get "Requires elevation" errors even when running as privileged user. How does this work? @NVAccess #nvda

NVDA has the uiAccess privilege to enable access to the UI of apps running as admin. This requires a special kind of elevation. The easiest way to get that elevation is to use ShellExecute, which will verify that the app is in an allowed location for uiAccess apps and then elevate accordingly.

Ugh, my previous Lenovo laptop for work would often throttle to 400 MHz and stay there. Rebooting sometimes helped, but not always.

I tried many things. Nothing worked. Forums were full of other people complaining about the exact same problem, on both Linux and even Windows.

It was a hardware problem with the Intel CPU and poor chassis design that had no way to get rid of the heat.

I hope your laptop is fine and that it was a random aberration.

Have you tried updating the firmware yet?

@garrett it was running for less than 30 minutes since I got it. But then I ran an update (didn't before transplanting the drive because rebooting is a waste of my time). New kernel

Now it seems to not have had that problem. As I said elsewhere in the thread, it looks like the behaviour I recently observed when running on battery on the Dhell.

The code in librsvg that I know the least is the first code of it that I ported to Rust 🤔

you know how some music gets faster and faster? 'accelerando' is the term for this i guess.

anyway, what i find interesting is when people sing or play together this kind of music, they seem to accelerate in unison, even though no one in particular is leading.

which made me think, is there some universal rate of acceleration that people unconsciously follow? like some fibonacci-style pattern? has this been researched?

I tested more thoroughly simple #NextCloud apps that I was willing to use, like Deck, Notes, and Tasks. Unfortunately their #accessibility is so that it's quite painful to use. And, as far as I could investigate, main accessibility problems come from core NextCloud frontend components, like NCSelect (pseudo-combo-box'ish thing) or NCListItem. Sad but true.

Part of it's also that I just see how shitty software is. I go onto a website now and there's a very good chance I'll be met with a cookie popup or some other annoyance. I'd sooner die than get paid $120000 a year to put an aria-live region on an ad to announce that it closes in x number of seconds, or whatever. But that's where the world is going. Shitty web apps and super overcomplicated backend infrastructure that gives me a headache to even read about, and this is the person who read Bjarne Stroustrup talk about C++ templates for like two chapters and didn't get a headache. It's not the coding that I don't want as a job, I'd be happy working on fun stuff like NVGT or Hammerspoons, but open source software doesn't pay the bills, and I'm not sure I'm smart enough/possess the necessary business skills to sell software on my own. But coding's what I'm good at, so shrugs. Maybe I'll end up finding some fulfilling programming job. I haven't ruled it out, but I look at what a lot of entry positions on indeed would want and nope straight out.
