Aww a twinge of sadness as I turned off find my and signed out of my Apple ID. Now Jimmy Mac is back in his original manufacturer's packaging just like the day he arrived here as we now wait for his trade in kit to come tomorrow. Goodbye Jimmy Mac it was nice knowin' ya.

Ever find it hard to keep track of links, buttons, and form fields on a cluttered webpage? NVDA’s Screen Layout feature helps! When enabled, items like links and buttons stay in their visual flow, appearing on the same line. When disabled, NVDA separates each link and control onto its own line, making navigation smoother for some users. Toggle Screen Layout on and off with NVDA+V to customize your browsing experience! #NVDA #Accessibility #ScreenReader #TechTips
A computer screen displays the NVDA settings window on a laptop, specifically in the "General" configuration settings. The text above the laptop reads: "NVDA TIPS! NVDA+V for Screen Toggle - Master Your Screen Layout!" The image has a bold red background with the "innosearch.ai" logo at the bottom, emphasizing accessibility and control over screen layout settings in NVDA.

Code Factory und Acapela, alternative Sprachausgaben für NVDA
Wer sich den kostenlosen Screenreader NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) installiert, wird mit der freien Sprachausgabe eSpeak oder den Windows-stimmen leben müssen. Diese sind brauchbar, für längeres Arbeiten allerdings eher weniger geeignet. Sie sind zwar tief in Windows integriert...

Had someone from the Deaf-Blind Centre visit me this afternoon. Now my Coke Zero stockpile is once again a stockpile, as opposed to half a bottle, which is what it sas before her arrival. And our associate pastor came to visit for a couple of hours, and we had a great time.

@kgs49 I like cold Coke but I agree about not wanting it with ice; I definitely get that. Now I'm remembering part of a Foreigner song parody I started writing when I was a kid. It was a parody of "Cold as Ice' called "Coke With Ice ..."

If Apple completely rewrites voice over from the ground up, or if there is a viable third-party screen reader developed, I will consider getting another Mac, but sadly, I don’t see either of those things happening for the foreseeable future.

'Lot of demoralized people': Ghost jobs wreaking havoc on tech workers sfgate.com/tech/article/ghost-…

Damn. I imagined that now that the M4 Mini is out, the M1 Mini would be super cheap on the used market.

Nope! They're still like $400 for a base model! For a four-year-old computer! A new M4 model is $600!

I mean, for Pete's sake, an M1 Mini with 16G RAM is like... $600... on ebay

why would anyone order that

During Canadian Federal Elections, poll workers have been known to direct husbands and wives to booths at opposing ends of the room, so as ensure spouses are not ‘monitored’ by each other. I have worked one once and was told by the husband “I just want to make sure she doesn’t make a mistake.” I told him that she was probably old enough to manage in her own to make an ‘X.’ She looked down as she smiled. He wandered off grumbling. I didn’t care how he reacted.

Why are so many women hiding their voting plans from their husbands? A lot of households are not democracies; they’re dictatorships. This may mean voter intimidation and suppression. https://www.theguardian.

Here is the newest level of accessibility at Dreamhost - we can not revert your account to use the legacy control panel. However, until this issue is resolved you can contact support and ask us to do anything for you on your behalf. I would strongly urge everyone to file tickets by emailing support at dreamhost dot com and see how much we can get this issue prioritized.

@mikedoise I had such a dreadful experience with one service. You need a subdomain? Write an email. You need a DNS record? Write an email. You need to point a subdomain to another IP? You guessed it. Just humiliating and disgusting.

Back in the old days, we used alt text because folks didn't always want to wait for them to download.

I'm sitting at the end of my driveway, ready to hand out candy, connected to the house wifi.

I'm not getting photos 🤣

I am currently very thankful for those who have added alt text to their images and videos!

So, the entire Dreamhost pannel is completely inaccessible to screenreader users at the moment. This is very upsetting. I and I'm sure many others will be moving to other platforms.

So the media player on the sense player is still freezing at least once a week. Mostly happens when you perform anything while listening, moving tracks, playing a new folder, adjusting main volume ETC. I wonder if any programs like chrome or who the hell knows what else have to be running in the background for it to function? I know that sounds crazy but I can't think of anything else. I wish I could down grade the firmware but I never downloaded the last version, if anyone has it, please please let me know.

@fireborn Well literally everything else works fine, both first party and third party apps. This started as soon as I updated to newest firmware, even a factory reset didn't fix. Along with the not being able to switch voices in the document reader, obviously they screwed soomething up big time, although not sure if others are having the same issue.

My Dude, if you think that a wife or girlfriend voting for Harris is the same as adultery, you richly deserve that fate, and may she find freedom from you real soon

Precisely what we *have* been doing without their money, I imagine.

Put my wallet in my right jeans pocket instead of the usual left jeans pocket for the day. A rollercoaster of emotions. The highs of finding it after that horrible sinking feeling of when you think it's lost. Exhausted now. What a day
