This is great news! Of course, prioritize your local library and bookstores. But also: get books and ebooks from Bookshop.org (which supports local bookstores) and audiobooks from Libro.fm.
Bottom line: bye Amazon 👋🏻

Dear @thunderbird :
I want exactly zero notifications for me and for the desktop users I support using the upcoming #Thunderbird 134 when it's released.
Will there be an easy option to disable all such notifications ?
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/n…
This allows Mozilla to push important, time-sensitive notifications to users. These notifications are scheduled based on version, OS and locale.support.mozilla.org
@alecaddd OK, once every 4 months is reasonable, now imagine all free open source software asking for this.
What you describe sounds awfully like tracking, again, unexpected in Free open source software.
I am really not against donations notifications, just not in an office context, when it's already installed and I am upgrading. Enabled by default, yes. No way to disable it, please - no.
Learning Blind Tech Episode 20 A Little Taste Of Reaper
In this episode, I give some very basic information about the audio editing software Reaper. I show where to download the software, find the plug in that is essential for using Reaper with a screen reader, talk about training courses available and finally give you a small glimpse into some basics when using Reaper.

Been using @joplinapp and a handful of plugins, along with my @nextcloud server, for notetaking over the past week or so since they added accessibility improvements. It has some rough edges but, aside from TiddlyWiki which is also accessible but also more opinionated, this is the best accessible notetaking system I've found so far.
So far I've loaded all the manuals for my last year or so of major purchases into it as PDF attachments, and the PDF viewer is about what you'd expect from a browser so certainly serviceable. Next I'll document how things are wired and complex button layouts, and it'll be great having those alongside the manuals. Also using journaling and this inline todo plugin to document the things I need to do alongside their context, then have them collected from my journal entries and displayed in a consolidated task view. Nice!

#Garmin watch owners, beware! There is a problem with a GPS coordination file that can brick your watch. Until it's resolved, avoid any GPS activities and/or turn the watch connectivity completely off.
My model is affected. 😕
UPDATE: Garmin has replaced the corrupted file with a fixed on their servers. If you have an affected model, but your device hasn't gotten into the boot loop, you're advised to go the Garmin Connect app and enforce the device sync to download the fixed file. The article has been updated accordingly.

Long shot but worth trying. I'm #blind, want to redo my website(s) in Zola, and am looking for a theme. Can anyone please recommend something that a) looks good b) is somewhat flexible and c) would be appropriate for a blog/portfolio/project list? I realize that's a broad/vague ask, and I'm not very picky FWTW, but the Zola theme site is not terribly helpful if you can't see the screenshots.
If I had to narrow things down a bit more then I'd probably pick something Bootstrap-based since I know Bootstrap classes a bit more than Tailwind, but that's not a hill I'll die on if something looks/works better.
This is for both my personal site and, maybe, lightsout.games as well. The setup I used for both of those is creeky and less useful than I'd originally hoped so it's time to go back to mostly static.
Thanks for any recommendations and feel free to boost for reach.
The Node.js project just issued CVE IDs for 3 EOL versions
Is this a good idea or a bad idea? It depends who you ask
It's a weird discussion to follow, so I broke it down in a way that should offend all the involved parties

Very recently the Node.js project filed a few CVE IDs for end of life products. For vulnerability nerds this is exciting because historically EOL things didn’t get CVE IDs just for being EOL.Josh Bressers (Open Source Security)

Heute ist mir das erste Mal ein EC-Bezahl-Terminal mit Touchdisplay ohne physikalische Tasten entgegengekommen. Auf meinen Hinweis, dass meine erblindete Schwester damit nicht klarkäme, relativierte die Apothekerin, es gäbe ja gar nicht so viele Blinde. Und das Gerät sei neu und müsse erstmal bleiben.
Bitte lieben Menschen die ihr EC-Kartenlesegeräte verwendet, denkt auch an Menschen mit Behinderungen wenn ihr neue Geräte braucht oder bekommt.
Danke

Do nacistického likvidačního tábora Auschwitz přijeli na prahu dospělosti nebo jako děti. Dnes tvoří poslední generaci, která továrnu na smrt ještě pamatuje. Pondělního 80. výročí osvobození tábora se zúčastnilo 56 těchto přeživších. Historici proto už dnes musí řešit, jak uchovat vzpomínku na holokaust živou, až svět opustí poslední z nich.
O svých ztrátách, zažitých hrůzách i obavách z nových krizí ve světě v areálu německého vyhlazovacího tábora Auschwitz mluví nejmladší generace pamětníků.Kateřina Havlíková (iROZHLAS.cz)

When you edify someone, you’re helping them build character. This figurative 'building' is key to understanding the history of edify. This word is an evolution of the Latin verb aedificare, originallywww.merriam-webster.com

in reply to Mx. Riley • • •sadly it's almost all DRM. IMHO from customer's perspective it's still better to buy it from Amazon, apply deDRM and read it everywhere.
It reminds me how fortunate we are here. When Czech ebooks became a thing, everyone had already had a Kindle and Amazon was not interested in entering such a small market. They had to figure out how to make the ebooks work with Kindle and the simplest way was to distribute DRM-free files you can simply email to your reader. And ever since all Czech ebooks have been DRM-free (actually they use social DRM, adding buyer's identification into the copy).
