Hi, @jcsteh. By any chance do you know if someone has this bug in their radar? Thanks for your time and all the work you do!!

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.
in reply to Alex Hall

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?
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 Individual people raise the question, but it never makes its way to lawmakers. I don't know why.

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?
in reply to darren harris

@edenGD02 From the Internet Archive. The novel is out of print and is otherwise not available in any accessible format. It's not available on Bookshare or in the Kindle store.
in reply to David Goldfield

Ian and Barbara absolutely were a couple after the show. You only have to watch The Romans to see the sort of close bond they had.

Dear @cbcnews calling Covid 'seasonal' is journalistic malpractice

Covid has NEVER been seasonal, and we've been in one of the highest waves of the ongoing pandemic since early August

Being a stenographer of Henry is not serving the public, you have a mandate to call out and correct disinformation

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
in reply to Florian

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.
in reply to Jamie Teh

Python:
import ctypes; ctypes.windll.shell32.ShellExecuteW(None, None, r"c:\Program Files (x86)\nvda\nvda.exe", "", None, 1)
in reply to Jamie Teh

@jcsteh Ah Jamie has you sorted, ignore my earlier reply which is out of date :)
in reply to Jamie Teh

@jcsteh Thanks! :) I was noodling with it a bit more and noticed that supplying shell=True to subprocess also seems to work although using that is discouraged for security reasons, which is amusing :) I'll use this for now, thanks much

rebooting reset things. But I can't reboot each it goes into low power... Not sure wtf. Maybe there is something I need to do tell "this is a new CPU"
in reply to Hubert Figuière

ran an OS update and I wonder if it is not the same bug I observed with the Dhell: slow CPU speed when unplugged.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

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?

in reply to Garrett LeSage

@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?

No. Those are long gone. There was another place like it called Bonanza. I think that might’ve only been Manitoba though


I'm <having the opposite problem some people seem to: my timeline is way, way, way too fast. But it's hard to slow it down because it's interesting too. I think I will have to hide boosts from some accounts.
