If you make your own puzzle map with it, I'll be claiming tax though: you'll have to send me a picture of the end result ;)

One of my favorite Singapore food writers / recipe developers lives in the Netherlands now.

“Having grown up in perpetual summer, living in the Netherlands with the cold as a constant companion often makes me hanker for foods that I’d never craved for in Singapore.”

That’s what I feel too: the perpetual summer.

The newsletter name is a joke because there are no Singapore noodles in Singapore:

@Jage Speaking of distribution, while other features such as AI Assistant doesn't seem transferable, the ability to copy/paste and make conference calls do seem to be back-portable to its second gen variant. Do you know if that is going to be the case? I don't have nor want one, but I am asking to see if this is artificial feature-limiting or if they will continue to support their previous devices for as long as feasible for the sake of their customers. @ricky_enger @DavidGoldfield

nice service by @jaller94: find missing #stolpersteine on #osm in your berlin kiez. simply load the gpx file into your favourite osm app (e.g. osmand) and add missing stolpersteine to #openstreetmap.

@pietervdvn The GPX format was chosen because OsmAnd and Locus Map can import them. With the mobile apps we can map while walking around outside.

The data source is stolpersteine-berlin.de/. Because of it having no explicit licence, some typos and inaccurate positions we cannot import it or use it for online editing. MapRoulette and MapComplete don't have IRL mapping editors, right?

@cachondo The first version of Windows to really lean into Theming including sound schemes was 95, specifically with the Microsoft Plus! pack which was sold separately, though the base installation did include a few sound schemes on its own like Utopia, Musika, Jungle and Robots. Windows 98 had its own version of plus, which included a unique set of themes different from the 95 ones, but the base installation also included the sound schemes I listed above.

Anyone have suggestions on where to try to promote the Games for Blind gamers gam jam? We got 110 sign ups last year, and hoping to get more sign ups this year!

I remember David Graeber's insight into #voting being a big 'Aha' moment for me:

"Majoritarian democracy was, in its origins, essentially a military institution. . . .

"It is of obvious relevance that Ancient Greece was one of the most competitive societies known to history. It was a society that tended to make everything into a public contest . . . So it might not seem entirely surprising that they made political decision-making into a public contest as well. Even more crucial though was the fact that decisions were made by a populace in arms. . . . [I]f a man is armed, then one pretty much has to take his opinions into account. . . . [E]ven if the vote was 60/40, everyone could see the balance of forces and what would happen if things actually came to blows. Every vote was, in a real sense, a conquest." #history #politics #democracy

And as previously posted today, updated since that post, NVDA 2024.4.1 is now out, which includes everything from NVDA 2024.4, as well as one key bug fix. More on that update here: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-4-…
in reply to NV Access

For those on the Beta / RC branch, we have also pushed a Release Candidate build of 2024.4.1 for you - note this is identical to the 2024.4.1 from yesterday, but will keep you on that path so you'll be the first to get NVDA 2025.1 Beta 1 when it comes out in time.

If you want to be on the beta / RC branch, download from: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-4-…

If you want to be on the stable branch, download from: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-4-…

Apologies for any confusion caused!
