#eurovision #esc actually I don't find it implausible that given the salience of this issue, and that a lot of anti Israel people were boycotting, that more voters favoured that country than any one of the other 15. This is why many real democracies have run offs, in a run off between 2 parties, Austria (or anyone actually in Europe) would have beat Israel by a wide margin. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
in reply to Joanna Bryson, blathering

Exactly! I mean, okay, even if recognize that #Israel lead a massive social media campaign and encouraged people to vote for Yuval, it's not prohibited. there are questions whether it's good, honest and so on, but it is not against the law. The same as voting twenty times for one country is not against the law. Like, I could have voted 20 times for my favorite, #Portugal. Or, as a Ukrainian, I could vote 20 times for #Ukraine because I have a French number and I live in France. Is that honest? Well… I won't judge. I think laws still need to be changed, but it's only my opinion. #Eurovision #ESC #ESC2025

Studie: polovina mladých chce svět bez internetu

Mladí Britové ve věku 16 až 21 let také podpořili noční digitální klid.

Těžko tomu věřit, ale téměř polovina mladých lidí by raději žila ve světě, kde neexistuje internet.

Zjistil to britský průzkum, o kterém včera informoval server The Guardian. Téměř 70 procent mladých lidí ve věku 16 až 21 let se podle průzkumu cítí hůř, když stráví čas na sociálních sítích. #dnešnítisk #MFD #tisk250521

Hello @NVAccess , I hope you finds well. Now I have a new, in the Spanish community of NVDA we wrote an article talking about the compatibility of NVDA addons because some users changed the manifest in the past without update the addons. So, I advice read. Please note that Chat GPT or Google Gemini translate more better that Google Translate. Link: nvda.es/2025/05/21/hablemos-de…

in reply to Carlos Esteban Martínez Macías

Thanks Carlos, great work!

Please encourage the community that there is no need to edit the manifest file - if you WANT to use an add-on not marked as compatible, you can simply override it in the add-on store. And of course, if you do that, and run into any issues, the first thing to do is disable the add-on or restart NVDA with add-ons disabled.

We have written a series of articles recently on our blog on the .1 release process and breaking changes: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-3…

Does anybody happen to know what legislation this press release refers to? I searched for "H.R. 3417" but this leads me to a different bill. I also searched for the title, mentioned in the press release, but it also takes me to some legislation from 2022 / 2023. What am I missing?

The primary investors behind AI all seem to be linked to the fossil fuel industry.

What an odd coincidence (not), that an energy wasting technology is being funded by people who are willing to go to war over oil pipelines & oil tankers.

Québec has had a carbon tax since 2007... almost a full decade before the federal government implemented its carbon tax.

Suddenly, Quebecers want it to end?

FYI It amounts to 10 cents/litre.

Gas companies will simply increase the price by 10 cents/litre that the government of Québec doesn't want and pocket it.

Québec's environment programs are funded by that 10 cents/litre.

Gas companies would line their own pockets.
