@J3317 I was looking up when I wrote In-Process - NVDA 2025.1 closes 555 issues! That is more than any other version has ever closed, so I'm sure there will be features you will find useful regularly, even if you don't use Remote often. From our CSUN presentation, here is one slide worth of bullet points on some of the new things in 2025.1: nvaccess.org/csun/#new
Hello and welcome to our CSUN page! NV Access will be at the 40th Annual CSUN Assistive Technology Conference. We are presenting a session and would love to have you there: Date: Tuesday 11th March…
@J3317 Ah we've definitely got some things in there for you. Just having a quick look: - Localize new Word and Libre Office gestures - R|eporting first line indentation in Writer - Reading page footer and header in Writer - Reading checkboxes in Braille - Ability to organise templates in Calc - fix in Say all
@J3317 Hi Joshua, I had a look on our issue tracker at github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… and I couldn't immediately see an issue exactly like what you've described. Would you be able to write up an issue with the steps to reproduce, and possibly a log file (at debug level) please?
@J3317 Thanks! Press NVDA+control+g to open general settings, tab to "Logging level"; down arrow to "Debug", Press OK, then NVDA+q to quit, down arrow to "Restart with add-ons disabled" & enter (to ensure it's not an add-on bug), when NVDA restarts, recreate the issue, then windows+e for File Explorer. Press alt+d & type: %temp% (note the percent signs either side). Look for nvda.log & nvda-old.log nvda.log is the log from the CURRENTLY RUNNING or most recent run, nvda-old from the time before.
I want to talk about money.
(Ugh, I know. How crass.)
Specifically, how much money authors make, or more accurately, don’t.
I signed my publishing deal in 2023. My advance was £2,500. That’s it.
Here we go again About half a year ago I migrated my server. The tech stack was largely unchanged, but it was a tedious process to bring everything over. For a while I was happy. For a very little while.
With the growing movement to boycott US goods, more people are choosing European alternatives. Let’s take a look at the best European products you can use.
Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.
Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.
But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.
@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.
As long as we talk about tech independence or digital #sovereignty primarily in terms of geography and jurisdiction, we will lose as users and as people with rights:
1. Because this narrative can easily be co-opted by antidemocratic, nationalistic forces.
2. It takes away attention from what actually provides us with independence: software #freedom, #interoperability, a power shift away from #bigtech to small, decentralised, ethical tech.
3. It gives praise to entities that don't deserve it just because they are "European". Point in case: the certainly well-intentioned @goeuropean project, which recommends (among many very ethical companies) some really terrible "European alternatives", e.g.:
Well, FOSS is FOSS no matter where its head maintainer is, but my favourite european project is @organicmaps@fosstodon.org @organicmaps@mastodon.social, therefore @openstreetmap . I don't remember when I used google maps last time (okay rarely I use Waze maps, but its not formerly google maps)
I don't like it when someone dictates what I should or shouldn't use. Boycotting U.S. capitalists and switching to EU capitalists — it’s all the same bullshit.
Hey @Tutanota why not Nostr. For me Nostr is way better then Mastodon and gets better everyday.
You said Mastodon is nonprofit and not under pressure from stakeholders. But they can get under pressure of governments pretty easily. Just look at Apple and the UK. Even if Apple wouldn´t be a profit company they still would get pressure. Nostr is a open-source decental protocol. The is no company and no ceo behind ist. So it can´t get any pressure.
hey, i found out you didn´t. I also told you yesterday. In your newest post about a better instagram alternative you talk about Pixelfed as insta alternative and also about Mastodon and even Bluesky as Meta alternative. But still no word about Nostr. If a great company like you would see that Nostr is even better then Mastodon more people will use it and can move to the real feature of the internet. So please have a look at it
- thank you for noting Mastodon makes an excellent replacement for US based corporate micro-blogging platforms like X and Threads. In terms of replacing the long form and private group targeted posting that Meta's Facebook provides, I'd note Diaspora as a more "apples to apples" alternative, and that the most popular instance servers (aka "pods") for it are all currently located in the EU. diasporafoundation.org/

Ak máte zlý deň, nezabudnite, že Liam Lawson si v paddocku nenašiel žiadnych priateľov, nezískal žiadne body, nikdy neodjazdil čisté preteky, bol horší ako Perez, skončil na konci kvalifikačného roštu a po dvoch pretekoch s jedným z najlepších tímov Formuly 1 bude pravdepodobne definitívne vyhodený.
Deset let už děláme noviny! Su dojaté. Nevyžádaná kariérní rada – pokud dostanete možnost dělat na nějakém smysluplném regionálním projektu, který nabízí mraky práce, budete do něj muset narvat hromadu peněz z vlastního, během pandemie vás požene na focení infekčního oddělení a během záplav v gumákách do zaplavených polí, skočte po tom! Takto vypadá životní příležitost ❤ boskovice.social/@ohlasy/11422…

Ohlasy oslavily 10 let! Byl dort a hlavně debata se čtenáři a čtenářkami o naší práci. Pokusíme se i na základě všech postřehů dělat pro vás dál co nejlepší noviny. Díky za přízeň a za podporu.

EDIT - The answer is that it is Falcon 9. And the spiral is excess fuel released from the rocket. #astro #question This object was just passing over Brno (21:00-21:03 CET) from NWW to SEE. It started as a small butterfly from light - I thought about some kind of halo around a bright star. But it was moving in satellite speed, and the halo was rotating and growing. Photos are bad because it is from phone.
The King County executive just got hired as CEO of Sound Transit with a salary of $450k in an opaque process. He sits on the board of Sound Transit. If you are angry at the cronyism and corruption in the Trump administration remember that this behavior is how it got normalized.

During the 2025 ATIA conference, Peter Tucic showed us the Odyssey, which is a compact text-to-speech reader. Check it out here: Click here to learn more about the Odyssey.
He is symptomatic of the Trump administration—a complete collapse of seriousness, replaced by far-right cosplay and a small-minded, small-man obsession with optics over outcomes.
There is no "adult in the room" anymore.
Just a bunch of incompetent, self-righteous fanatics with nukes.
Pete Hegseth is a frat-boy fascist completely unqualified to be Defense Secretary, leaking classified war plans in group chats while dismantling the military from the inside out.
Extremely impressed with #Suno today. I've had this music in my head for years, it's a bit of an earworm and I find myself humming it at random times. It used to play circa 1985, after the #TVAM startup music on #ITV in the UK. All I have is a crappy mono version from youtube, so I wanted to see whether Suno could give me a reimagined stereo version, and it did so on the very first try. Absolutely love how it handled instrumentation and timing here. I set the two versions up in Logic and crossfaded between each one so you could hear them side-by-side.
