Leasey 9.1 is released. This supports JAWS version 2025 and earlier.
Anyone who has a license for version 9 can use this product.
Note: This is not an update so is not available via check for updates.
Please be sure you are installing the product you are licensed for.
If you are installing JAWS 2025 for the first time, please be sure to read the JAWS 2025 Setup Guide. Just go to any page on the web site and look for the term 2025.
For anyone who needs help installing JAWS 2025 and Leasey, please be sure you have Remote Incident Manager installed. Installing RIM is the only way you can be assisted.
Again, there is a link to RIM on every page of the web site, close to the top.
A day and time can then be arranged with you to install the software and check the computer is optimised for best performance.
Thank you to our loyal beta testers who have tested this version. This has not been the smoothest of processes.
In many ways, JAWS 2025 handles controls and environments very differently than any previous version which has been in place for many years, and a balance has had to be struck as to what we should fix through Leasey and elements which should be left alone.
Enjoy using the product!
After Christmas, the process of building Leasey version 10 will begin.

We are very pleased that we can announce this a bit earlier than last year: There will be gyms - aka repurposed sports halls - for sleeping on #38C3 again.
They will be free for angels that already have worked.

Please, please, please stop using ARIA if you don't now what you're doing. Don't reinvent the wheel. HTML is pretty great.
First Rule of ARIA Use:
If you can use a native HTML element or attribute with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so

Two students who discovered a novel proof of the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem.
While still in high school, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of a right triangle's two shorter sides are equal to the square of the triangle's longest side (the hypotenuse).
Mathematicians had long thought that using trigonometry to prove the theorem was unworkable, given that the fundamental formulas for trigonometry are based on the assumption that the theorem is true.
Jackson and Johnson came up with their "impossible" proof in answer to a bonus question in a school math contest.
They presented their work at an American Mathematical Society meeting in 2023, but the proof hadn't been thoroughly scrutinized at that point.
Now, a new paper published Monday (Oct. 28) in the journal American Mathematical Monthly shows their solution held up to peer review.
Not only that, but the two students also outlined nine more proofs of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry.

I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦
I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

Another High Speed rail report.
I'll believe it when it actually is in service. But at that pace I'll be dead.
"A source close to the file said the bidding consortia warned Ottawa that ridership would be lower with a high-frequency train than with a high-speed one, since customers are looking for the shortest possible trip."
So they paid somebody to tell them that? Maybe I should become Govt Consultant and make the big bucks here. I could have told them.
