Okay, let's try this, for the first time ever. I'm Quin, and I'm looking for a job over the summer, possibly longer as long as it's part time (I'm a college student with the summer off). I'm mostly interested in #remote work, due to my complete blindness traveling to a workplace is more difficult, all be it not impossible. I just prefer coding from my bedroom. I'm a software developer and hacker (in the oldest and best sense of the word) who loves nothing more than figuring out a good challenge. I prefer low-level coding in C, C++, Rust, etc., but things like Python and Lua have their place too. My resume is here: quinbox.xyz/resume.html

V tomhle videu se několikrát opakuje: „pokud platíte přes…“

Platit _přes_ něco je germanismus. V češtině máme sedmý pád, instrumentál, my dokážeme platit přímo _něčím_, nepotřebujeme pomocné slovo „přes.“ Jediný oříšek může být, jak správně skloňovat zkratkové slovo SIPO. Nejspíš prostě _Sipem_.

Ostatně vzhledem k tomu, že se nevyslovuje jako es-í-pé-ó, nemělo by se psát všemi velkými písmeny.

1 cent per five years .... is the current marginal hosting cost for a #chatmail address, with which #deltachat apps facilitate world-wide private messaging including interactive #webxdc apps that run end-to-end encrypted in any chat group.

<1 Million EUR per year is the estimated marginal hosting costs for 350 Million EU citizens. Such scaling requires, however, research and development, including careful UX and #cryptography work. Related writing from @gordon

newsletter.squishy.computer/p/…

screenshot of key excerpt from the referenced post: "When the network is built on cryptographic protocols, we don’t have to trust anything in-between. We don’t have to trust the computers, the wires, the institutions, beliefs, or kinship of the network participants. We can trust the math. All we have to do is verify the message with cryptography. This is a powerful primitive for scaling trust, because it means everyone on the network can cooperate together, even if they don’t trust each-other. The costs to producing high-trust results are greatly reduced, and we can spend our coordination efforts on building larger, more fine-grained, more complex networks of cooperation."

Cryptography scales trust

Protocols are to institutions as packet switching is to circuit switching

No Matt, you can't offload WordPress accessibility into a plugin. To say nothing of the part where all the work gets offloaded to the community and the official project gets to wash its hands.

Good grief.

I haven't used Skype for at least 10 years, but I remember using it quite a bit at one time. It's hard to believe I was introduced to it back in 2005, and had only been using the computer for just under two years. I remember thinking when you heard the other person or people on it that you were talking to, that it sounded a bit like you were hearing them on the radio, just because it was better than phone quality was.

Обновил наконец-то Jaws с 22 версии. Всё настроил за исключением одного - не могу найти как включить повышение тона при чтении заглавных букв, вместо этого происходит звуковой сигнал. Как-то это отключал в предыдущих версиях, но хрен помнит где. Можно было бы мигрировать настройки, но не даёт, так как удалил предыдущие версии, притом что сами файлы остались где были. Думал, он по путям ищет, но нет. Есть мысли где искать? Подозреваю, оно где-то рядом, но мозг ломаю со вчера.

Дада, но в русской версии допустим Jaws 22 было без этой херни, либо оно настраивалось. Ладно, похоже и правда проще переключить на английский и сконфигурировать, просто меня этот ёбаный звук отвлекает только, проще когда тон меняется.

Вобщем не стал заморачиваться - переключил джоз на английский, тупо скопировал скрипты и конфиги, так что теперь всё работает. Значит оно где-то ещё запрятано, не в JCF файлах, собственно там похожего ничего и не видел внутри. Так что если и выяснится как это настроить, то только случайно. Всё равно собирался переключать с русского, мне локализованный никогда не нравился, на английском более лаконично.

I really want to like Linux, but there's one bug that's absolutely killing it for me and making me want to switch back to Windows. If I'm typing in VS Code and an autocomplete pops up, Orca is yanked out of focus mode even if I have it set to sticky. So let's say I'm quickly typing .clone() in some Rust code. I type ., this pops up the autocomplete, I get c in before the mode switches...then it switches. So Orca then tries to go to the next (l)ist, next large (o)bject, n gets passed through to the document because there's no structural nav command...by the time I realize we're well and thoroughly off to clusterfuck city, my document contains .cn and focus is gods know where. This can happen multiple times per line if I'm unlucky. It happens less now that I've disabled Copilot for unrelated reasons, but I'm having to be much more intentional about typing code very quickly to minimize this happening.

Is there a workaround for this? If Windows didn't feel like an absolute hostile landscape of "we're going to treat this computer and the data on it like it isn't yours whether you like it or not," I'd still be there.

Tell me not to use VS Code and I'll block you. Sorry, absolutely not in the mood. Also don't want to disable autocomplete.

This isn't really what you asked so you have every right to tell me to fuck off, but the way I prefer to rock Windows these days is with Windows IoT LTSC builds. You get no store, no copilot, no bloat. My good friend Brandon Tyson has also put together a blog post outlining how to make Windows run smoothly after a fresh install, or just in general. This includes disabling telemetry. btprojects.samtupy.com/blog/po… if you want to learn more about Windows IoT LTSC, look here: massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_lin…

It'd help if ARIA autocompletes weren't a complete nightmare. I keep meaning to write a blog post about this and never getting around to it. I even came up with (what I think is) a cool title:
Woe-ARIA: Focus defeated when autocompleted
I have ideas for solutions, but the problem is that it's a really hard problem to fix without breaking backwards compatibility.

Oh thanks, that's amazing and what I was hoping to get from posting this. I'll probably join the Orca lists and such and be more active soon, I'm just neck-deep in moving and other life logistics now and don't have the time.

So if I'm reading this thread correctly, the issue isn't in Orca but is instead in VS Code, and is now fixed in Insiders, at least on macOS? Asking because if it is Orca but just hasn't been filed yet, I'll put doing so on my todo list when my life isn't an absolute pile next month.

In the May 2025 update, version 1.1 of our users’ manual is now available under Options, Help, Guides and Tutorials.
It has many additions since the last update and it also includes headings, allowing for heading navigation. Because the manual loads in our new smart reader, this means that you can search for text and you can copy part or all of the manual and paste it into a new file. This also means that if you paste the manual into a file with a .brl extension, you’ll have a translated version of the manual according to the Braille table you are using.

The May 2025 update for the BT Speak offers an even more versatile clipboard.
First, you can cut, copy and paste across applications in both desktop mode as well as in traditional mode.
For example, you can copy a block of text from Thunderbird or LibreOffice and paste that text into our editor.
Not only that but the paste operation honors your Braille translation setting. As an example, you could write a document in our editor in Grade 2 or UEB, copy that document to the clipboard and paste it in a LibreOffice document as plain text. The reverse is also true: copy a block of text from a Web browser and paste it into a Grade 2 file and the text will be pasted in Grade 2 Braille.
Call us or visit our Web site for more information.

Smart input is a new BT Speak feature that lets you use natural language to type keystrokes and commands when you're in desktop mode. For example, if you want to close a program or save a document, just type "Close" or "save" and the command is sent. You can also type keystrokes, such as control a or alt+f4.
