The internet blackout in #Iran is ongoing and I am trying to find information about how its actually enacted. Hearing that local services are working. Would like to understand how exactly the blackout is enacted. Are they filtering IP blocks? Are all .ir domains still accessible? The media keeps talking about it like it's a big on off switch but that's obviously not the case

As a person living in Iran, I can explain the situation. For almost 3 days, our connection to global websites was blocked completely (it's a bit better now on home WiFis, but still a living nightmare), and only the local websites hosted on Iranian servers worked. We didn't have Google, GitHub or any other websites; we couldn't connect to our servers outside of Iran through SSH. The only way a very small number of people had access to the internet was that they bought...

I just submitted a feature request to #NVDA regarding creation of a more useful mechanism for editing the configuration on secure screens, to replace or augment the current clunky and all-or-nothing settings copy feature. Please give it some love! I don't think @NVAccess actually partakes in the whole vote with thumbs-ups to increase priority, but doing so might serve as a useful metric for how widely desired this is anyway, which could theoretically help with triage. If anyone who sees this is skilled and willing enough to actually turn this into a pull request, I would be very greatful! Otherwise, hopefully someone at NVAccess will take it up! It's about time we got a more useful means of customizing that other layer of NVDA.

@ginsenshi Which feature is failing for you? Do you mean the "Use currently saved settings during sign-in and on secure screens" option? As it notes, it "requires administrator privileges", so you do need to acknowledge the user account control (UAC) dialog, and then it will copy the settings to the profile used on secure screens.

@ginsenshi Can you send us a copy of your nvda.log and nvda-old.log after trying please? If you press NVDA+control+g to open NVDA's general settings, set the log level to "Debug" then NVDA+q and "Restart with add-ons disabled". Recreate, then press windws+e to open file explorer, then F2 to go to the address bar, type in %temp%
Note the percent signs either side of the word. Please attach the files to an email to us at info@nvaccess.org & we'll see if we can figure it out.

@ginsenshi Thanks Sean! I got your email ok. It looks like you have a number of add-ons which are not compatible with 2025.1 which you've overridden compatibility on. Please note that does NOT make the add-ons work, it simply stops NVDA from telling you they are not marked compatible. In this case, they are causing errors, and this may be leading to random issues. Please restart NVDA with add-ons disabled and see if the issue still occurs.

Prodlužovací kabel SKOTAT s vestavěným 45W USB PD zdrojem konečně už i v České #IKEA a za pěknou cenu!

in reply to Pavel Machek

@pavel v obecné rovině souhlasím. Na druhou stranu, ukazuje se, že USB PD je dostatečně stabilní už posledních ca. 10 let a nejspíš ještě pár let vydrží, na rozdíl od všech proprietárních Quick Charge standardů, které se měnily každý rok.
A zdroj od IKEA aspoň žere bez zátěže kolem 50 mW, takže se dají přimhouřit oči nad tím, že je trvale zapojený.
Jinak je samozřejmě možné koupit přesně stejný zdroj i v samostatné krabičce jako SJÖSS:

ChatGPT’s Mac app now records meetings, but it’s nearly unusable with VoiceOver.
Buttons are unlabeled, transcripts are hard to access, and navigation is broken for blind users.

OpenAI needs to include accessibility in every release. This one missed the mark.

PM Carney on X endorses US bombing of Iran:

"Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to intemational security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile..."

I guess this is what Carney meant by "a new security relationship with the United States."

I'm trying to document canoe routes in northern Minnesota, because the maps are disappearing from the USFS website. The Twin Lakes Canoe Route in northern Minnesota offers a short canoe route outside of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness that provides a wilderness-like experience. No permit is required.

A man and his girlfriend die in a car accident and meet Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter says, "Welcome to Heaven, do you have any questions?" To which the man replies, "Yes, my girlfriend and I never had a chance to get married while we were alive. Can we get married in Heaven?" Peter says, "That's a good question, I will be back when I have the answer." Left at the gates, the couple begins to talk about love and how long eternity is. 6 weeks later, Peter returns and says, "OK, I've found your answer. Yes, you can get married in Heaven. So come right in and enjoy eternity together." The couple responds by saying, "We have another question. Eternity is a very long time and we are not sure if our relationship will last. If things don't work out, can we get a divorce in Heaven?" To which Peter replies, "Fucking Christ! It took me 6 weeks to find a priest up here, do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?!"

For those of you who are “nuclear curious”, the attack on Iranian nuclear sites could have resulted in trace amounts of radioactive material getting kicked into the atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is a river that flows across the globe, and other places will “see” those isotopes with sensitive enough instruments.

Here is gamma radiation air monitoring open data, including data from #SNOLAB where I work. These data aid in nuclear non-proliferation.

today, I pass on some of my own music to take your mind off of all the ridiculousness in the world.
Instrumental, so no reason to pay full attention to it, but maybe while you sit and read a good book, relax on the sofa or whatever else you can think of.
I released this album a couple of years ago and you can stream it anywhere you normally stream music.

For my latest release entitled 'a Moment of Solitude', I decided to build down towards a state of calm. Starting out with up-beat grooves and rhythmic elements, by the last few tracks it's relaxed, drum-free and hopefully puts you in a place of contemplation and thoughtfulness.

So! This audiobook's coming out in two days. I dunno about the book, but the music... The composer... I like him. I really do. He's nice. Very humble, too.
No seriously. I still can't believe this is a thing, but here we are. A nice and cozy fantasy with voices I'm sure you've heard before if you're into the genre, and somehow I've been lucky enough to make the music for it.
Disclaimer in case it matters: I'm not getting any commission or royalties or any kind of anything either for sales or for making noise about this, I just think it's a cool book and I'm super happy to have made the soundtrack for it!
