Figma announced Figma Sites, letting you publish your Figma designs directly to the web like it’s 1997.

Led By Donkeys: tank v Tesla.
You don't really need to watch this to know how it works out but it is remarkably fun to see a 98yo WW2 veteran drive a tank over a Tesla - "we crushed fascism once and we'll do it again!"

According to NVAccess, there are over 2,000 #NVDA open issues and if seeing one fixed is "particularly important" to me, they would "encourage hiring someone to work on it."

Libya’s Government of National Unity said on Wednesday it rejected the use of Libyan territory as a destination for deporting migrants without its knowledge or consent. It also said there was no coordination with the United States regarding the transfer of migrants. Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army, which controls eastern Libya, also rejected the idea, saying in a statement that taking in migrants deported from the U.S. “violates the sovereignty of the homeland.”
In other words there is a non-zero (and actually quite high) likelyhood that, were a plane loaded with illegal US migrants to be flown over Libyan teretory, it would not be allowed to land. By which I mean, they would shoot it down with surface-to-air missiles.
So much winning. Incredible.

I have the ssh movie player back online!
This is running on a custom ssh server built using russh as the backend. To convert frames, I used the python tv package, subtitling and playback is all custom.

So apparently nearly all students cheat with AI chatbots now and basically aren't learning anything nymag.com/intelligencer/articl…
I'm grateful I got my education before these tools were available.
Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning
But there's no way such a worldview will be rolled out in time to survive this

I've heard from multiple mothers who were thrilled to finally understand why their baby said "dada" before "mama": it's because of the way the babies' sound-making develops. Oral sounds like “d” and “b” appear more frequently in early babble than nasal sounds like “m.”
Valerie Fridland has lot of other great insights too about "mama" and "dada" in this week's podcast. Check it out!

in reply to Talon • • •Sadness is definitely the word.
The pipeline seems to be: say something on social media, get told to open an issue, follow up on issue years later, get told in clipped tones to arrange a fix for it yourself (that they'll need to review) because there are too many open issues.
(Edited to remove previous comment about secure add-ons that was probably a bit much.)

They say I should pay someone to fix it. So let's see if someone wants to be paid to fix it. @talon

How can people support? Are donations an effective way to help NVDA?

in reply to NV Access • • •@NVAccess, thanks for commenting!
I think I understand you wrt to hiring someone as a general option to fix an issue—but if I may, that is so unlikely to be realistic for almost anyone, mentioning it is then only helpful in theory and therefore comes off different from how it seems to be intended.

in reply to Jens Oliver Meiert 🇺🇳 🇵🇸 • • •@j9t And in fairness, we DO endeavour to be communicative & engage in discussion (as I am now). Can you say every software company does? (And no, I'm not doing this instead of fixing this issue.... Perhaps doing this instead of updating the Excel training material, but it's important, so here I am).
Yes, donations are very much appreciated - and for those who can benefit from it, the training & support in the shop: nvaccess.org/shop
And of course, developer time where possible
