Hi to all federating! Especially @NVAccess Just posted an issue with latest libre office and Say all in large documents. It intermittently skips lines. Can you reproduce? Every large document works.
It's good to see LibreOffice getting attention! @WestphalDenn & @bdorer reported another issue earlier which I wrote up as: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… - Hopefully the end result will be LibreOffice support continuing to improve!
Steps to reproduce: Open any big document in the latest Libre office writer. press insert+ down arrow for say all Actual behavior: The error sounds are played, and NVDA skips the lines of the docum...
@WestphalDenn @bdorer It needs to improve, because it is a good alternative to robust cluttered Ms office. Personally, i want to switch, because they started to give features which are beyond my pocket.
@WestphalDenn @bdorer We have had some good support from LibreOffice in the last couple of years, and I would love to see accessibility in LibreOffice on par with other options as well, so do keep reporting any issues you come across as they do get looked at, Thank you!
that looks really neat and i think i honestly would wear such a hoodie - wondering about the front side though cause i wouldn't wanna walk around with something less subtle on the front than on the back

I need to double-check, but under method 1 for changing sound output device on Windows, it suggests using the context menu on the volume slider to select device, which I don't think is accurate. If it is, I will have learned something. chatgpt.com/share/67c4683a-487…
Web forms pose accessibility challenges for blind screen reader users, making proper labeling, required markers, and navigation compatibility essential.
In Wyoming, the legislature has decided, that you cannot require others to address you by your preferred pronouns — thinking that this will only hurt trans people, Trump wants to persecute.
So citizen Britt Boril calls in to a committee meeting and deliberately misgenders the male chairman as madam, which he takes offence to — because our rule about allowing disrespect was not meant to be used against us!
(And no, you should never misgenders others, but damn… this move was brilliant)

hello! in the vein of @sayyid_qishta@terror.black and @june@weirder.earth , I am offering FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE prints in exchange for giving aid to others!
Here's a great place to get started: https://weirder.
The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced the recommendations for the viral composition of influenza vaccines for the 2025–2026 influenza season in the northern hemisphere.
After the spectacular Washington meltdown tonight, dozens of support posts from world leaders tell Zelenskyy that the allied countries will have his back.
Trump may feel good today thinking he showed Zelenskyy who is the boss. But in reality, Trump's attack on Zelenskyy may be the final straw, that isolates the US from the alliance of 50+ democratic countries, who can now move forward without wasting their time with Donald Trump's increasingly hostile demands.
The Trump administration has just accused a reporter from the US news service VOA of being "treasonous" for reporting facts like this: journa.host/@w7voa/11408662995… The reporter has apparently been put on leave, they are being investigated and their existing reports are being "watered down".
The reporter in question is a long-time Fediverse member. If you'd like to show some solidarity you can follow them at:

A chilling observation that's been kinda overlooked in the mayhem generated by the cowardly ambush at the White House yesterday. From a reader on LinkedIn:
How bad are things in the White House right now?
The Associated Press and Reuters weren’t allowed in the Oval Office to cover the spectacle yesterday.
You know who was?
The *Russian state-owned news agency, TASS, which was live streaming the ambush directly to Putin*.
This is difficult to write.
A Russian asset has infiltrated the White House.
It’s no longer speculative or debatable:

If you dislike the state of Firefox, please recognize that part of the way it got there was by becoming dependent on the gravy train from Google.
It will still be years before it’s usable, but one thing you could consider is to help fund servo.org — it’s a fully independent rendering engine with some really great next-generation tech that is going to make the web a more secure, and a very large % of its contributor base comes from a worker cooperative’s members who happen to be some of the finest minds in browser technology.
The project is flourishing, and you can help it continue to chug along and even accelerate. There’s no telling if it’ll definitely become a full alternative to the current triad of chrome/safari/firefox, but we won’t find out if we don’t try. The future is what we make it.
