For a limited time, you can sign up with Bookshare for only $60.00.
It’s worth noting that students in the United States with a qualifying print disability can receive services from Bookshare at no cost.
Also, some state libraries provide complementary subscriptions to patrons. It’s certainly worth reaching out either to your local NLS affiliate or to your
public library to ask if they offer this.
This is applicable to residents in the United States. I have not investigated pricing on subscriptions outside of the United States.

I wrote about why I confronted Rep Nancy Mace at the #ProjectLibertySummit: not to convince hateful bigots to stop hating, but to spark a conversation in the tech policy space about what our strategy is going into the next four years.

Will we cozy up to wannabe fascists in the name of "finding common ground"? Or will we build meaningful resistance to tech-enabled human rights abuses?

Why I confronted Nancy Mace

The goal of my protest wasn’t to convince bigots to stop spreading hate. It was to spark conversation among advocacy groups and philanthropists about how we resist tech-enabled fascism.

I'm curious what people in Australia think about this proposed law. I understand where the rationale is coming from, but it sounds like the same rhetoric you hear from conservative christians, etc. Not sure banning anything in this way is a good idea...

Social media age ban inquiry flooded with 15,000 submissions after Elon Musk weighs in

The government is rushing to get its laws banning children under 16 from social media through parliament before the end of the week, with a senate inquiry open for submissions for just one day.

The fact that Microsoft would let someone have the root of the system drive as a Defender exclusion is pretty bad, and as it turns out, it can be used in Malware attacks, too, since there's no end-user warning of this bypass.

@jonathan859 For the most part, MalwareBytes is accessible with screen readers. One very notable exception are their combo boxes, which are silent when you tab to them and so you might be deceived in thinking that you've tabbed into a blank area. However, when you press down arrow, you will be able to access all of the items contained in that combo box, pull-down menu or whatever it's supposed to be. I'm planning on locating someone from the company on LinkedIn that I can communicate this to, rather than going through standard support channels.

OK, someone please correct me, but I think this video is overproduced and is not a reproduction of the real experience with Envision glasses. youtu.be/GcwstAtgHOM?si=MSzmZr…
If it is, then I should order them right now. If it is not, then I hope a11y companies don't get carried away trying to replicate their mainstream counterparts. A believable video is what I want, please!

A great screenshot by @pauldassori , showing many pieces of software working together.

It shows the iD #OpenStreetMap - editor opened in #Valdivia . A lot of orange dots are visible: these are locations for which panoramax.xyz knows an image for. This #panoramax-instance federates with panoramax.mapcomplete.org, which hosts the images made with mapcomplete.org
As Awo (osm.org/user/Awo) has added many pictures with @MapComplete , a lot of pictures are shown!

A map view with many orange dots. This is the iD-editor used to edit OpenStreetMap. At the bottom left, a picture of a tree is shown.

Neřešte novodobé OPBH(Piráti) a další nesmysly. Prostě kurvafix okopírujte něco, co funguje od počátku věků! 🤷‍♂️

Zlevňování vlastnického bydlení? V Polsku v posledních měsících realita. Podle deníku GW se dokonce schyluje k "festivalu zlevňování v příštím roce". Staví se totiž rekordní množství nových bytů, v některých oblastech se nabídka nemovitostí ke koupi meziročně dvojnásobila.

Podle údajů statistického úřadu navíc získali developeři od ledna do října letošního roku přes 170 tisíc stavebních povolení. To je meziročně o téměř 30 procent více.

V říjnu 2024 dokonce developeři na trh uvedli více bytů, než kolik jich bylo koupeno. Na největších polských portálech s inzercí bydlení Olx a Otodom je asi 230 tisíc nabídek, loni to bylo o zhruba 70 tisíc méně.
