V botanicke je to jeden bengr vedle druheho.

Zelva na Kajmanovi

Papousci

Nedavali jsme ji tak casto jako zoo, protoze to neni tolik kocarek friendly. Ale to se ted zmenilo! V botance otevreli pobocku Fofr kafe, coz je hipsterina naseho gusta. Muzeme zapomenou na italii na capim hnizde (kavarna v zoo, ne bures) a uzivat poradny kafe.

Ma to mouchy. Nemaji hrnecky. Ale pracuji na tom. Nemaji batch. Ale pracuji na tom. Proste se pocita, ze tam lidi nechodi moc casto, tak na cokoli se zeptate, reknou, ze uz to resi a urcite to bude. Tuto taktiku schvalujeme. Slibem nezarmoutis.

Navstevu doporucujeme! Pokud mate pocit, ze ve vyctu botanickych bengru neni zadna kytka, tak si aspon vychutnejte drsnoploda na fotce.

So…in theory sure, it’s always easy to look at the board from the side and say, coulda, shoulda, but we don’t get process improvement by ignoring the miserable realities of human stress responses. While I don’t know for sure, there’s a decent chance that this is the first time some, maybe all, of the principals in this are navigating an insider threat with no runbook, no training, no clear lines of support. When you’re already panicking, a panic-stop is a good idea!

Bookworm's text DAISY support is moving in a good direction, rather slowly of course. With yesterday's modifications, Bookworm can now use heading navigation and bring up the Elements list in text DAISY books. However, links still cannot be activated in such books. github.com/blindpandas/bookwor…

How to find out that you are possibly in a country with a TT earthing system:
- you still find some unearthed sockets, especially in dry rooms,
- you will see two-pole circuit breakers everywhere, because you cannot trust that the voltage between N and earth is always safe,
- you will see RCDs everywhere because earth loop has high resistance

In the case of Spain, I see C10 circuit breakers everywhere. I wonder whether it has something to do with the code or just this place.

Mapcomplete.org ist getting better and better.

A few days ago I discovered that its possible to add manmade bird nests. I was standing near a stork's nest when I found the topic. And directly added a picture.

I also found by chance that beehives can be added. And that there are also viewpoints to add under the theme of nature.

It would be nice if there was some information and not find by chance.

something new thats still hidden under some Theme?

Kdybyste si měli vybrat nějaký online kurz (klidně placený) pro vzdělávání v oboru IT, na co byste se dívali, podle čeho byste vybírali? Vidím, že existuje Coursera, Udemy, edX, LinkedIn Learning...
Předpokládám, že kvalitativně to bude všechno +- stejné, tak jde spíš o hodnotu toho kurzu z pohledu zaměstnavatele ("Jó, Michal viděl 10 hodin videí na Khan Academy, ten bude asi dobrej!")

Prostě vítám tipy ohledně online vzdělávání. Našel jsem coursmos.com/coursera-alternat… , ale chci osobní zkušenosti.

#Conversations_im 2.19.0 is available on #FDroid and Google Play. Please upgrade!

2.19.1 is in the pipeline with some minor bug fixes.

The next version will also show the 'Last Seen' timestamp a little more prominently for those who have Last Seen enabled. (and the underlying algorithm has been modified)

Do you think we should use the subtitle to show number of participants in public conferences now that we made subtitles a part of the UI anyway?

This also makes it difficult to have a sighted colleague teach you how to use that one extra tool you need to go about your job-related tasks. My onboardings were a nightmare because of that. Still remembering fondly how I had to take an express course in Audacity to learn the basics in a couple of days for a traineeship. The task we got was: split the music bed we provided you into bars so that you can copy and paste them again and again to make the bed longer. „Bars? What do you mean by bars?” „You know, on the screen, the music is split into bars.” „Perfect, I can't see that.” Three days later: "So how do you split into bars by keyboard?" "Well, I press ctrl and I." - Turns out they meant clips all along.

after aggressively ignoring YouTube Shorts since their introduction, and Google continuing to force it onto my subscriptions page, I have finally taken the effort to locate a userscript that removes them from the site (I also read the code because I'm suspicious and reading code is fun). It does appear to work :)

In case anyone finds this useful, I added a "ReaKontrol: Reconnect" action to #ReaKontrol which allows you to reconnect to your Kontrol keyboard if it isn't connected when you first start #REAPER or it gets disconnected while REAPER is running. Otherwise, you have to restart REAPER, which is deeply irritating. reakontrol.jantrid.net/

At NV Access we are always interested in understanding the satisfaction of our NVDA users.
Plus we like to understand clearly what is important to you and also identify what we can do more effectively.
We encourage you to complete the NVDA Satisfaction Survey 2025 to assist us with improving the NVDA user experience. It is a short, three question survey, which is anonymous and does not require signing in.

Complete at: nvaccess.org/survey

in reply to NV Access

Done. I was surprised it didn't ask for anything like the user's primary pain point or source of frustration. For the record, mine would have been updates breaking add-on compatibility, and all the problems this causes, especially for add-ons that don't use the auto update mechanism. I know there's not much NV Access can do about updates and such, but it feels like I'm disabling a whole raft of add-ons once per year for no reason.
in reply to Alex Hall

@alexhall We try to leave that "What are the main reasons for your score" open for people to expand on things like that - and yes, we know that add-on breaking is one of the bigger pain points, and it is one we are working on (an expanded secure API which won't break for add-ons which use those functions) - I don't have a time frame but we are well aware it will be greatly appreciated when available! Thanks for your feedback!

@b_rain The survey is anonymous & you don't need a Google account. But, you are always most welcome to send us your thoughts directly! The questions in the survey were:

1) On a scale 0-10 how likely are you to recommend NVDA (0 = not at all, 10 is very likely)

2) What are the main reasons for your score (text field to type any feedback you'd like to give)

3) Is your use of NVDA primarily for accessibility testing? (Yes or No).

Feel free to email us at info@nvaccess.org if you would like.

Just installed the latest software upgrade on my BT Speak (blazietech.com/bt-speak-pro) from @BlazieTech, and at the last step, before it rebooted, the system hung for somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute, *with the vibrator active* all that time. I pressed and held the power button a couple of times, with no immediate effect, and it did finally reboot rather than powering off. Not sure what I would have done if it had stayed in that stuck state.
in reply to Matt Campbell

The BT Speak boot process seems to start the vibration mootor pretty early (I haven't checked exactly where), and a script that runs after login stops the motor. I found this out because if you disable automatic login, the vibration motor continues running until you type your password, but stops a few seconds later when it says "BT Speak ready". So I would guess that the system did reboot, and was running some kind of update script that ran before login, so the motor didn't stop. Although I could be wrong; I haven't investigated how the updates work yet, but I can tell it updates the system one component at a time, and it seems to actually be compiling the editor and liblouis and other things instead of using pre-built binaries or Debian packages which is an interesting way to do it.

I bluntly do not understand why the British seem to not only tolerate but even prize their own subjugation, but that the people doing the subjugating are doing it with smoothbrained nonsense like this.

Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once.

This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with choices and actions, so you give up on the fight entirely.

It's okay to take a breath, clean up slowly, and train yourself over the long-term to improve your data privacy health over time.

Ever see a bunch of restaurants on delivery apps sharing an address and possibly even large chunks of their menus?

I used to see this stuff and thought it was some tax evasion scheme, but no – they're ghost kitchens.

This looks like an existential danger to traditional local gastronomy with shit like big chains pretending to be small locally-owned shops. And of course systemic work and food safety violations because it wouldn't be late-stage capitalism without those…

@dch I hate checking status and doing management tasks with their web interface and PlexDash is also sorta inconvenient, so I'm making my own tied into my Phoenix/LiveView home automation / internal network homepage website thing

I have a fake phone-style landing page on my intranet with a grid of buttons like "apps" which some are links to internal hosted services, others open a LiveView page... it's growing features as I think of them.

I have live co2 measurement for my office on the top bar as well as the live glucose for my mother so I can see how she's doing at a glance. Need to get some live bandwidth up there too, maybe my server load and CPU temp too...

so many ideas.

I have Sonos controls I built out too

#BadBlankenburg, Burg Greifenstein.
Blick von der Burgmauer ins malerische Schwarzatal.
Auf der Informationstafel an der Burgmauer ist folgender Text zu lesen:
" Burg Greifenstein"
Ehemals eine der größten deutschen Adelsburgen. Um 1208 wird die Burg "Blankenstein" im Besitz der Grafen von Schwarzburg erwähnt und ist später Sitz des Zweiges Blankenburg der schwarzburgischen Dynastie. 1304 ist sie Geburtsort des späteren Königs Günter XXI. von Schwarzburg-Blankenburg.

***Attention! If you miss MSN/Windows Live Messenger, AIM, and/or ICQ, this is for you! If you use a screen reader and want a 100% accessible messenger client, this is also for you.*
This works with Windows XPthrough 11, and I'm logged into it as I write! It's called Escargot, and it revives Windows Live/MSN Messenger. This is the original software, but it has been patched so that it connects to the escargot.chat server and not the Microsoft one. It is 100% free and accessible with NVDA and I'm sure JAWS as well. They also have projects for AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and ICQ, including for Android and IOS, and are working on a web client for MSN. (I don't know if AIM or ICQ are accessible with screen readers, as I have never tried them). Anyway, if you're over twenty-one (my personal request), have read my profile here, and wish to add me, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat. You can find everything here.

escargot.chat

Note: If you already have Windows Live/MSN Messenger on your system, you will still need to download their version and create an account. Your Microsoft, MSN, or Hotmail one won't work for signing in. Also, remember to click on RUN_AFTER_INSTALL.exe, in order to patch the program to the Escargot server.
