So one thing I notice about #blind Internet culture: even back on Twitter, and now here in the #fediverse, blind people tend towards having discussions in giant threads, sometimes with as many as 10-12 people in them, that can often stretch on for days. I rarely (if ever) see sighted culture do this. I wonder why? It's not a criticism, it's just interesting to me. Maybe because Discord and other chat apps were historically less #accessible, so blind culture tends to use the fediverse more as a discussion platform? Or maybe it's something UI related that makes it easier for blind folks to track giant threads of doom? The few times I've been involved in this style of discussion with sighted folks, they've become confused and begged for everyone to move to Discord or Slack or somewhere. On the other hand, I rarely see blind people do a single, lengthy post broken up and threaded the way sighted people do, with (1/N) at the end. We tend to just move to instances with longer character limits, or put our long form thoughts on a webpage or something.
Edit to add: I'm pleased to say that this post has now become a perfect example of the thing I was talking about; my last post in the thread included the phrase "transsexual furry puppygirls". It makes me happy that people unfamiliar with what I'm talking about need do nothing more than look at the thread on this post.
@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@jonathan859@mcourcel Now you've made me wonder if my instance is blocked by WebSense, the old content firewall my high school used. Running an http proxy for everyone at...research.dns2go.com/get/paper.php?url was I believe the address I used, so everyone could get past the firewall and look at whatever they wanted while eating up all of my home internet bandwidth. Good times!
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Also, children and tweens have more time. As a parent, you have to set up the web filter and go to work and get the groceries and clean the house and so on. Your tween can spend all day other than homework and school bypassing the web filter you set up.
I've decided that in many cases, children are not in fact smarter than their parents. What happens is by the time the children are old enough to start being a problem, the parents have forgotten that hey, guy? This used to be you.
@pixelate@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@quanin@mcourcel {shocked, awkward face} Oh! I'm sorry! Uh, well, photosynthesis...is that offensive? Because you're blind? I guess that's offensive! You can't even see photos! Sorry, sorry! I said "see". I meant hear! You can't hear the photos! I will now spend the next five minutes awkwardly apologizing while I do absolutely nothing else to make anything easier or more accessible for you.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@jonathan859@mcourcel Look at this guy, assuming it's a "he" just because it's good at computers. Burn him at the stake! LOL. Anyway, this has been more than enough silliness from me. I have an actual job to accomplish.
It's my daughter, the code to exit changes each, time, and we know she can get out of it, but the store remains disabled, so the best guess is Kids Space itself is able to install things, or the Lenovo software that you can opt to to get suggested apps is running and we cannot locate it. We just block them when she does it as Family Link still informs us she did it.
Nope, also blocked, when we set it up we blocked almost everything besides the kids space, YouTube kids, and stuff like clock, calculator, etc, play store she was originally accessing via a banner ad on an app that should not have had them, and disabling it stopped that. I mean she's also learned how to cast to our TV, send things to the printer, and is playing around with Scratch so…
PDF's aren't bad if you have a truly accessible way to read them, and Paperback does that for me anyway! I've only hit it with a few PDF's so far but it presented the information just fine when Chrome couldn't even open them. Granted, I don't know if any of them contained images and how it handles those cases, but I bet somebody in this thread does!
No it can't, and I have mentioned that to Quinn but also pointed out that it wouldn't strictly be a reader anymore, but they would still be very useful features and don't think I got a response so maybe they're just busy with other features and life and will get around to it at some point.
And, a PDF reader that can also fill out forms is a fundamentally different kind of user interface than the one implemented by Paperback (and Christopher Toth's QRead before it). Realistically, for anything besides Acrobat/Adobe Reader or Chromium itself to do it accessibly, it would probably entail an embedded web browser engine and converting PDF to HTML rather than a single text edit control.
@matt@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@GamingWithEars@mcourcel This is also why none of the accessible open source ebook readers support Math content, or cope with footnotes and endnotes correctly. Modern ebooks really, really need to be loaded in an HTML webview. The issue is that I want continuous reading, and none of the HTML implementations like Thorium support that.
By continuous reading, do you mean fine-grained saving of your position in the document, or something else? If the former, then yes, the fundamental problem is that Windows screen readers don't allow the application to know precisely where the virtual cursor is located. I ran into that in Serotek's DocuScan Plus; I had committed to an HTML view, then could only do bookmarks approximately.
@matt@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@GamingWithEars@mcourcel I mean that I want to press NVDA+down arrow, start reading, and not have to press next page or next chapter constantly. But doing that requires loading the entire book into the HTML webview control, and now you get massive lag for various API related reasons. You can't do some sort of autoscroll to load content as you need it, because screen readers doing say all don't always update the focus position correctly, so you can't tell when they're about to hit the end of the currently loaded content. This is a thing I've thought about, and chatted with some folks about over coffee/beer.
@matt@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@GamingWithEars@mcourcel IMHO those are larger problems than bookmarking. We can get close enough (nearest paragraph) bookmarking in a webview. And that would be fair exchange to have working links, footnotes, endnotes, media, math content, and all the rest. But I can think of no way with current screen readers and API's that we can do autoscroll. Kindle manages it, but they're doing...something custom that I don't know anything about. And I'm just not willing to give that up.
@matt@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@pixelate@quanin@GamingWithEars@mcourcel Nope. Direct TTS output is available if you want that. But both NVDA and jaws present kindle ebooks in some sort of custom virtual buffer. It supports pressing enter on links, autoscroll during say all, etc.
Doing a bug-for-bug compatible emulation of the Chromium accessibility tree that could fool JAWS's virtual buffer would probably be a tall order, but maybe Kindle isn't so bad.
@matt I've honestly been afraid to look at it too close. Kindle Cloud broke accessibility because people started using it as a way to remove Kindle DRM now that the other popular methods don't work. If I wanted too, it would be pretty easy to create a new synth driver for NVDA that uses say all as a way to extract the text from a Kindle book. Here's the current technique they're using, if you're curious: blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/
For the record, my interest wouldn't be in bypassing DRM, but in making it easier for applications and toolkits other than the big two Windows browser engines to trigger the virtual cursor behavior in JAWS and NVDA.
@matt When you first open Kindle for PC, your ebook library is shown in what is just a standard web view. So they do have a full browser engine as part of Kindle. But they don't seem, from what I can tell, to be using it to show the actual ebook.
In fact, I would strongly discourage anyone from abusing the current accessibility of Kindle for Windows to circumvent DRM, thus escalating that particular cat-and-mouse game and ruining things for legitimate users.
This is very good info. This makes me think somebody needs to create an accessible PDF editor, which is probably a huge undertaking, assuming so since it hasn't been done in all these years of people in our community making software.
Thanks. Bottom line: The virtual cursor implementation that NVDA uses for Kindle is hard-coded to the Kindle app, and based on that window class name, the same is probably true for JAWS.
@matt Yup. So in short, if I wanted to make another ebook app that worked the way Kindle does, I'd need to write a custom virtual cursor implementation for NVDA to work with it.
NVDA is modular enough that the implementation work in NVDA, or in an add-on, wouldn't have to be done from scratch, but yes, as far as I can tell, some app-specific or toolkit-specific work would currently have to be done. And for JAWS, that would basically mean being big enough to get onto Vispero's development roadmap.
The question is whether JAWS scripting is powerful enough to closely emulate the existing virtual cursor behavior. The JAWS team themselves have chosen to implement their virtual buffer with gobs of C++ code.
@matt As other folks are saying: I could do all that work for free and without pay...or...I could just read my epubs in Kindle and get back to my actual job. But in short, this is why the current set of blindness made ebook readers are the way they are.
Fair enough. I have my own reasons for wanting to crack the problem of activating virtual cursor behavior for things that aren't Chromium or Firefox. Of course, I don't expect anyone to work on that unpaid on my behalf.
Servo recently got funding specifically to work on accessibility, so I'm wondering how that's going to play out, and if they're going to want to get me involved given my work on Rust GUI accessibility.
@matt It feels like Windows would be the easier place to start, though, given Wayland and everything else that was still a mess on Linux last I checked.
I guess all the platforms are messy in different ways. I'm just thinking, since the funding came from the Sovereign Tech Fund, they might prioritize getting results on Linux, where it's all open-source.
I did a prototype in the first half of 2024. It's been sitting on hold because I've been busy with other stuff, and I also don't know if GNOME actually got another round of funding.

gore, death, and a little bit of infodump about h&s, and "fancy" gases used for industrial purposes.
Sensitive content
Me, occasionally being in the factory area of the company: this is for the light incidents. The heavy ones are: run for your life, and if you see a body bleeding from all cavities, do not stop to help, or you will be next. A team in proper hazmat suits arrive soon to provide help.
And speaking of fancy gases. I've heard a story about people constructing some apparatus for physical measurement. And for that they needed to have a gas with a very specific refractive index. It is possible to mix some gases with different indexes to reach the result, but I've heard it is a tedious process. Apparently those people wanted to avoid that. So, they have found in the catalogue the gas which was perfect for their needs, considering the refractive index, and they have placed an order for the purchase in the internal system. And because this particular gas has not been ordered previously, the order went through local health and safety department for vetting. Few days later the engineers were complaining about those "assholes from h&s department, rejecting the purchase".
Apparently, those assholes from h&s had checked also other properties of the gas. And I wish to be a fly on the wall in the room they did that. The gas was a neurotoxin. Of a very fancy kind. It is almost asymptomatic. The first observable symptom was a merriness. But if you observe it, and start investigating, it's already too late. At least you will die happy. I do not remember well, but I have impression, that this gas was also explosive. The point if this story is: please give some respect to those assholes from h&s. They can save your life 😅
Also, please do not look into the laser beam with your remaining eye.
TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.
This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.
It's also my Matrix server. And Nextcloud. And Git. And Home-Assistant. And Jellyfin. And SearXNG. And Peertube.
When people objected to her claims, she doubled down and proclaimed condescendingly that we "don't have a clear understanding of this space".
TIL that I don't feel confident in recommending people to use Signal. Something's very off here.
*) "hyperscaler" basically means the big cloud infra providers with provisioning APIs that allow you to scale your resources up/down automatically with usage
Signal's president claimed it takes billions to replicate the availability and reliability of "hyperscalers" (AWS/Google/Microsoft/Cloudfare) that Signal uses.
@tomli what does IP address hiding have to do with the topic of the post? :) Anyway, Cloudfare probably sees all signal group members by the access pattern to in-chat media, including their IP address. Each #chatmail relay only sees IP addresses of its users but not of users of other relays.
@tomli Depends in your MTA. Chatmail does, most MTAs do. The ludacris X-Originating-IP is mostly a ghost of the past. And unless you are acting as an MTA you are likely safe.
@tomli @h3artbl33d right now you can't change the address. The 2) point in the post will take a release or two to arrive and then you can meaningfully change/add addresses. Stay tuned.
(Non gender specific) Dude! I had to fight to get people to use Element/Matrix and when the jank got too much I had to fight to move them to Signal. I'm tired and done with all that shit.
But you're saying all the right things so I'm looking at my soapbox and megaphone and thinking I may have to drag them out again... 🙂
dumb bait post, if you've figured out a way to cheaply (for open source projects) provide high quality group video calls internationally (the specific scenario Signal was talking about) without hyperscalers and also , please let us know, otherwise don't strawman them
@jackie i dont get why to promote your service you need to bad mouth other alternatives? Isn’t your service better, without the need to denigrate Signal?
@jaystephens @jackie thanks for correcting and the precision -- we didn't quite follow the evolution of signal's call support. The point stands that video calls were not moxie's original key reason to go for hyperscalers and centralization (see signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-… )
At Open Whisper Systems, we’ve been developing open source “consumer-facing” software for the past four years. We want to share some of the things we’ve learned while doing it. As a software developer, I envy writers, musicians, and filmmakers.
@tomli now that's a stupid claim, only telegram is susceptible to network analysis due to plaintext message headers. cloudflare couldn't possibly figure out who you are sending Signal messages to
@morganist @tomli is Cloudfare not used for hosting encrypted attachments anymore? if you put a picture into a signal group, is it not accessed by the members of that group? Are the IP addresses not seen by Cloudfare ops?
I don’t think that spreading poorly substantiated accusations of technical infidelity against signal helps your mission, or anyone else.
I think it’s cool that you’re writing your own messenger software, but please spread the word about it by advertising how it is good, not by trying to push others down who fight for the same causes as you.
@jaseg what exactly is "poorly substantiated accusations" in our post? We have often applauded signal for their cryptography achievements but their infrastructure choices are a different thing. Infrastructure matters. And we were laying out what we are doing in the same post.
they’re poorly substantiated in that they boil down to “large cloud provider bad” without considering why signal chose a large cloud provider, and what they have done to mitigate the centralization. The latter is the interesting bit, since they structured their protocol considering the cloud provider untrusted. This means the provider learns very little about their users, and their main role is providing uptime.
By over-reducing your point to “cloud provider bad” you’re circumnavigating a whole informed discussion and effectively spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt to people who don’t understand how signal works at a technical level.
@jaseg well, even signal's president started off by viewing hyperscalers as problematic. We then layed out how we want to address the reliability and uptime challenges (through using cheap relays redundantly). It's tough technical challenges to realize the plans. But discussing infrastructure and different ways than giving 20+ millions to hyperscalers yearly is not FUD.
I'm not saying you don't have a point. I'm not a fan of these providers either, and I think @Mer__edith is uniquely qualified to understand the risks and benefits they have. My issue is with the reductionist view you were broadcasting in the first toot in this series, which didn't go into any of that nuance and read like FUD to me.
@blazr with 2.22.0 you can try out calling, look for "Debug Calls" in the experimental settings :)
Instead of big email providers, we actually recommend self-hosting chatmail.at/relays, or using one of the existing public ones. This is basically how we aim to do scaling, horizontal instead of centralized.
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!
hey, quick update for you -- Delta Chat's Chatmail servers are self-hosted by volunteers around the world and have nothing to do with the "big email providers". You don't typically go out of your way to use a "gmail" address with Delta Chat as you lose out on a lot of functionality and gmail has a lot of limitations like only 500 messages or recipients per day.
Also here's a photo of audio/video calls using Delta Chat -- one phone on 5G, one on my WiFi. Punches through NAT.
I really hope you can pull this off. However, having worked with distributed, decentralized systems, I think the difference between a centralized system and yours will always be a limitation to adoption.
But I hope you'll write lots of blog posts for others to build upon :)
Google is going to make HTTPS required by default in Chrome in a year.
In the post there is quite a bit of talk about the problem of obtaining a cert for local network names. Hopefully their push to make everything-HTTPS will include local network addresses too. We really badly need it.
They kind of seem to say they will, but it's all talk until shown otherwise: "In the future, we hope to work to further reduce barriers to adoption of HTTPS, especially for local network sites."
An anonymous reader shares a report: After last week's major AWS outage took Signal along with it, Elon Musk was quick to criticize the encrypted messaging app's reliance on big tech.
GNOME 49 (which was shipped in freshly released Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10 and also in rolling distros like openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch) has a bug with some apps in XWayland, where they'll freeze if you have more than 1 screen.
The only workaround is to turn off all monitors except one. Or, if your app supports it, run with native Wayland instead of XWayland. Or wait for a minor release of Mutter before upgrading to GNOME 49.

@hub I've found that darktable now works better in native Wayland than XWayland, except for the submenu issue (where it closes the menu when it tries to show a submenu, as it attempts to draw it off screen and hits a bug).

(Things like drag and drop into darktable even works in native Wayland, but not in XWayland.)

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)
My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.
Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?
oh gosh, unless you know you are doing a lot of synchronous writes (almost never; databases and NFS mostly... maybe VMs???) you do not need a LOG at all.
If you do add a LOG, it just needs to be large enough to buffer the writes until they're flushed to the other vdevs. You honestly could get away with something as small as like 8GB for a low IO / homelab type environment. But you won't find a modern drive that small, so if you're going to do this just make it as small as possible. Pick quality over quantity here. SLC drives (do they even exist anymore?) are of course ideal.
Splitting the LOG device between multiple zpools isn't crazy. I have a tiny partition I use for LOG and then use the rest for L2 ARC which is another option to maximize the usage of your fast storage.
This is the most Sirius Cybernetics thing I’ve seen IRL. This was a floor mopping robot at the local QT. It had cute animated eyes and said “I’m cleaning the floor! Thank you for shopping at QT!” as it wandered around randomly, almost bumping into several people. It has a voice like a 12 year old girl.
Bad thoughts were right. My instinct was spot on. It's toe cancer.
Now here's the fun part: finding a place willing and properly qualified to do the toe amputation as quick as possible. This was very easy when I lived in Madison, WI as we had the vet school at the university there. They covered everything from hamsters to horses and had the absolute latest veterinarian diagnostic and treatment equipment.
Been bounced around by vets I called, currently booked with Blue Pearl which is sort of a nationwide chain veterinary surgical / emergency hospitals.
The toe is gonna cost around $4500. annoying. Also way more than the vet school. I paid less than that for heart surgery via angioplasty (minimally invasive, through the femoral artery). RT: friedcheese.us/objects/8e35342…
I'm also especially on edge right now because my last giant had a toe cancer and my current dog Betty had a nail break badly and the entire nail had to be cut off near the base and getting this healed is a pain in the ass as it does bleed a lot (edit: not really "bleed".. more like a scab that just keeps getting disturbed, but cutting a nail back that far is going to be problematic).
I'm checking it constantly for any strange signs that there could be tumor growth that was misdiagnosed, as a tumor could potentially weaken the nail and cause this. Previous dog had 3 biopsies before they finally confirmed it even though I was screaming TOE CANCER at them the whole time.
HOWEVER
her nail issue started with the side getting badly chipped and then the structure was just weakened which doesn't track with a tumor inside or at the base. But I can't stop thinking the bad thoughts, ya know?

Is it a Linux-capable Raspberry Pi or a Raspberry Pi Pico? To me the word "full" implies the former, but the fact that you said the code is in MicroPython and there isn't much space for a keyboard driver implies the latter.

I've raised $260USD of the needed $600USD. Due to lack of solid contract work over the past few months, I'm sending out a request for help, to help cover monthly expenses. I've done the math and to cover the monthly bills and other related monthly expenses, is a total of $600USD.

A woman’s husband had been in and out of a coma for months, but she never left his side. Day after day, she sat by his bedside, holding his hand, her love and hope unwavering.
One afternoon, to her amazement, his eyes fluttered open. Slowly, he looked around the room and then motioned for her to come closer.
Her heart raced with relief and joy as she leaned in, tears welling up in her eyes. His voice was frail, but he managed to whisper, with a glint of emotion in his eyes,
“You know something? You’ve been there for me through every tough moment in my life.”
She smiled, her heart swelling with love as he continued,
“When I lost my job, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you stayed by my side. When I got shot, you were there in the hospital, holding my hand. When we lost the house, you stuck with me. And now, with my health failing, you’re still here.”
Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she whispered back, “Oh, darling, that’s so sweet. What are you trying to say?”
He took a deep breath, looked her straight in the eye, and said,
Husté. Na Slovensku už dávno mají být projekty pro stát pod otevřenou licencí. Jenže to ve výsledku vůbec nic neznamená. dennikn.sk/blog/4934481/myty-m… #links
Minister Migaľ sa bráni tvrdením, že “konečne získame zdrojové kódy slovensko.sk a vymaníme sa zo závislosti od jedného dodávateľa”. Mať zdrojové kódy ešte ale neznamená mať systém pod kontrolou.
Tohle by stálo za žalobu na stát. Buď ten kód vůbec není pod licencí požadovanou zákonem (=> žaloba) nebo je a ta licence je porušovaná (=> žaloba). Když se stát rozhodne nedodržovat zákon, máme právní systém od toho, abychom ho k tomu donutili. S právním systémem na Slovensku je to všelijaké, ale to pak má společnost problém úplně jiných rozměru než jen open source ve státní správě.
