Okay, so i guess i will have to go with out a product key for Jaws 9.0. My 2025 key sure as hell won't be compatable with that. The activation prompt in this version is hard to get out of, as it just comes up on every restart, and will only let you go once you press escape like 50 times.
@cachondo Yeah, i was gonna attempt to use my legally obtained key, then realized that was stupid, as it wouldn't work. I have a key from my rehab agency, meaning i have two more open spots.
@cachondo Oh, i'm not. I have a spot for my replacement computer, and maybe me getting a desktop down the road. Altho, i really don't use Jaws like they say i should.
@BTyson So it is possible? I can definitely try and see if that works. My key is perfectly legal, and I wasn’t aware how far back it was usable for. 2024 definitely works, however, this is Jaws home use. Not professional.
That should map to JAWS 9.0 standard I think. It may work all the way back to JAWS 6.0. Before that, versions used the Quella 3.5 inch disk authorization. So you may be able to go as far back as JAWS 6.
¿Qué onda con Be My Eyes? Ahora solo puedo preguntar 2 fotos y no me deja interactuar hasta el día siguiente. El problema es que no transcribe por defecto, entonces cada vez que me mandan capturas de PDF me resume el contenido a grandes rasgos y tengo que pedirle que transcriba todo. Lo peor es que no siempre transcribe todo, es muy frecuente que deje cosas a medias. Gemini me hacía lo mismo. Tendría que provar copilot a ver si me da mejores resultados. ChatGPT no, porque creo que Be My Eyes está basado en OpenAI. @criseduas Creo que era así, verdad?

I really struggle with the way these videos are done, the speech patterns feel really odd. is there a name for that? They sort of ... play in the next segment almost before the previous one has finished? Am I making any sort of sense?
@cachondo I call it the old school Andrew Huang effect. He doesn't do it nearly as much these days, but for me, he was the one that did it the most back in the day and I utterly loathe it.
@cachondo I know some youngsters have short attention spans, but that's no excuse: I don't think I'll ever get used to little bits of speech being edited together like that;
@frog67 @cachondo Some podcast apps have features to remove silence between sentences automatically. We probably should start advocating for something opposite, insert natural pauses between sentences.
@Scott @jakobrosin @frog67 @cachondo @BorrisInABox Just wanted to join in and tell you all how I hate such videos! Just can't stand them. It's not ASMR of course (which is absolute nightmare for me), but quite close.
@menelion @Scott @jakobrosin @frog67 @cachondo @BorrisInABox I get it. I definitely get it. That's why my silly demo was tongue-in-cheek and pointless. It's actually physically uncomfortable for me to listen to that kind of thing for too long. Makes me feel like I can't breathe. It's weird.
@Scott @jakobrosin @frog67 @cachondo @BorrisInABox That was much too nice. You did not bombard us with enough words per second! And you call yourself a Youtuber? Ugh.
No, you only let sharp cuts happen when you're about to go into a stupid joke that has been rehashed 1,246,744 times on your channel, and everyone is expected to know what it is. Either that, or just pause for 10 seconds and play the sound of a cricket.
@cachondo Yeah it just sounds like bad editing but it's done deliberate. I really wonder why. Does the waveform look prettier on the timeline for some reason?
Go 1.25 enabled Dwarf 5 experiment by default meanwhile neither debugedit nor dwz fully suppprt it (bugs open since 2022). So they error on binaries built with Go 1.25... 🫠

XSLT is an extremely complex piece of technology, and its use cases in the browser context are very limited. The only remotely plausible one that people came up with is formatting RSS feeds. But that's a bit backwards, because, usually, RSS feeds are a machine readable version of chronological items on an HTML page. You can still use XSLT to render your HTML server-side if you want that.
I had, for unrelated reasons, recently looked into XSLT and its "versions". In that github issue, a number of people complained that browsers refused to support "modern" versions of XSLT. So... what are these "modern" versions of XSLT? They're, essentially, the work of a single company and have not been adopted by anyone else. It's not a "standard" in any meaningful sense of the word.
XSLT 1 is what most implementations support. XSLT 2 came out at some point, and it is only supported by the library Saxon, which happens to be developed by the guy who wrote the spec. Decades later, that hasn't changed. Apparently, the W3C still recommends XSLT 2, even though the problem that it would likely stay a "one implementation standard" was raised early on. Then they came up with XSLT 3. Which is, you guess, only supported by one implementation.
if your "new standard" isn't supported by anyone else decades later, you don't continue developing a "new new standard", you ask yourself what went wrong.

I dislike having to switch windows or tabs to toggle microphone mute in Google Meet, Zoom, etc. So, I just spent a bit of time extending my personal Media Global Keys Firefox add-on to do this with a global keyboard shortcut. It also uses sounds to indicate mute/unmute status. There were existing add-ons to do this, but they didn't support global shortcut keys or use sounds. The question is whether this actually works in practice, since I haven't tested it in a real meeting yet and it seems to respond sluggishly when in the tab is in the background in a meeting with no one else in it. I also want to extend it for Zoom web and Teams web.
I'd really like a push-to-talk hotkey across Windows. I regularly use discord, zoom, teams and Meets. Programmatically I can mute and unmute I think, but what I really want is a hold to talk
@cachondo Yeah totally. I've been thinking about doing something like this for ages but just never got to it. I finally got motivated to do it because I was in a meeting yesterday where I had to switch a lot between talking and taking notes, and the tab switching was driving me wild.

Dear @Bruce I know I've asked you this before many times, but, can you tell me the name for that flat Minonite bread? Something like crumshniggles or something? I will write it down this time.
i have seen a few people arguing for xslt recently; weird proposition! - libs have a cost (browser download size, update work, integration, security risk) - xslt 1.0 is not good. okmij.org/ftp/papers/SXSLT-tal… - nobody uses it. (or rather, 0.001% of page-loads use it.) - regardless of your pov on xml, xml web documents are entirely a lost cause; the web is html, and html is not xml. - there are so many better alternatives! even a simple page with a script tag can do a better job!
The specific use case I've seen people arguing for is using XSLT to transform an RSS or Atom feed into HTML. For that, a page with a script isn't an option. And the argument seems to be framed as Google not caring about a thing that's important to some in the indie web community, namely RSS. It doesn't help that Google killed off Reader.

To je ještě dobrý. Jednu za mnou došli borci, kteří nám zdili plot: "pane, malá vám kreslí kamenem po autě." A taky že jo, dvouletá dcera si řekla, že by autíčku slušely obrázky. 🙈
Úplně stejný zážitek, dorostenec zdobil kapotu kolečky 🙈 Na druhou stranu, je to vidět, jen když se auto umeje, takže mi to v následujících letech ušetřilo nějakou práci 😂

The other thing i "love" about them is that ~50% of the time I take them off music starts playing on my laptop, even if: - it's at the other end of the house - I wasn't listening to anything to begin with - the last time they played anything it was from my phone.
Just 🤦♀️
also, we ridicule them for the USELESS "underwear" case when they come out and in v2 they revise NOTHING about it, not even the fact that the power cord cutout is slightly misplaced.
haha they do have a mind of their own sometimes, it feels. I'm not much of a wireless ear user; I find my screen reader is just too slow at the speeds I need to code.
My wife's got a new set of pods and a phone and the lag is far less, she says. but I skim at over 800 wpm. even a small amount of latency is difficult to adjust to when I'm used to a lightning fast response, you know?
@cachondo Yeah. I can imagine. I listened to a blind person demonstrating how they listened to web pages - i think it was a web page - and like, jesus effing christ it was absolutely incomprehensible to me. Pretty sure he'd gone way past 800.
I get it, there's so much crap on most web pages that you absolutely aren't interested in being forced to read.
That's part of why I made BackupBrain only archive the core content of pages.
there's also a stupid amount of context around web content. things like "graphic", "Link", "heading level x", "button", "list of x items", "navigation landmark" etc. It's rarely just the text.
@cachondo Yeah. I occasionally test my stuff in VoiceOver and it's horrible.
related: I've never found a guide that told me how to design a page that has navigation links & buttons for interactions but doesn't make that miserable for blind readers.
I have no idea what the best practice is that would let me not force blind people to listen to that crap but also provide it for them if they need it.
it's on the screen reader, honestly. You can turn it off. Best experience is to design using regular standard HTML and let the blind people do it. Much of the problem is honestly new users and lack of training, secondarily it's inconsiderate web developers not using standards or not coding properly for nonstandard things they work on.
I don't think it's subobtimal more than, the way the world has to work. A screen reader user might need to know whether something's a heading or a link. How it conveys that information should be on the user and screen reader to decide, not the content author.
It's still in early version I think, so doubtless it will improve. I'm very impressed at the speed with which you can just flick through a book's chapters, though.
I'm sure an MRU is on the agenda. I'd quite like it to keep your documents open when I come back to it, given it's already got support for multiple tabs.
also it needs to know if it's already open, at the moment you can open multiple copies of the app, where I guess you want a second click from explorer to add the tab of the file to your current session, maybe.
And it will encourage more people to seek out alternatives, including #AutonomiDweb
This can't be censored and is end to end encrypted so you don't need a VPN.
Using dweb you can publish websites to Autonomi and view them in a standard browser. This includes dynamic apps storing and fetching data directly on Autonomi.
This will give vulnerable people, including children access to vital information and safe spaces.

@stepan Co si budeme... otevírá to celou Pandořinu skříňku věcí, které by najednou nebyly legální. Ale technicky nezdatní legislativci nebo soudci dokážou napáchat hodně škody.
Otázka je, zda jde víc o technologii nebo o společenskou dohodu, která vychází z toho, že tohle vždycky šlo. Je možné, že je to spíš to druhé a že tahle věc, kterou jiná média nebo způsoby nakupování apod. nenabízejí, padne, protože překáží těm, kdo dnes mají nebo chtějí peníze. Stejně jako nemůžeš měnit a ovlivnit to, co ti zobrazuje appka Rohlíku v mobilu, nebudeš to moci ovlivnit ani na webu. Jedno je jisté - kdyby někdo vymyslel web včera, tak to rozhodně nejde.
Due to some changes at work, I've completely separated personal and work stuff so there's no personal stuff at all on my work computers. As part of that, I now have a USB switch to switch my keyboard and headset between my various computers. My headset connects via 3.5mm audio to a USB-C audio adapter. So I realised that now it goes: headset -> USB-C audio adapter -> USB-C to USB-A adapter -> USB-A extension cable -> USB-A switch -> USB-B to USB-A cable -> computer. Now I'm horrified and I'm kinda surprised this works at all. 🤯
@technocounselor It certainly is. :) It's definitely not ideal, but I'm not a fan of continually unplugging and re-plugging things when I need to switch computers, so it is what it is.
@ragb Yeah, I suspect I will find the same. I already am in some ways. There's some peace in knowing that if I ever change employer for whatever reason, I won't have to go through a massive panic in my last days there trying to move everything.

Have you completed the 2025 NVDA Satisfaction Survey? It's a short 3 question survey, but it's a great chance to have your say on the most popular free screen reader for Windows! What are we doing well? What can we improve? Please let us know: nvaccess.org/survey
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.
@RealGene Good point - we don't in our bio just because there's limited room. I did just go & check the web site as well. While we don't have a big "What does NVDA stand for?" bullet point - I just searched for "NVDA" and the first mention of it on the home page is "We have spent over 15 years developing the global solution: a free, high quality screen reader, accessible to all! NVDA: Non-Visual Desktop Access. " (you'd evidently already found that, but you're right, it's not always obvious)
so with this logic its also illegal to enlarge font for accessibility? Or darkening web that does not have dark color scheme? Or to letting password manager automatically fill credentials? Any DOM manipulation? 🤦
