I am passing along the following two quoted post from Chris Hofstader’s Facebook page. He is the former Vice President/Software Engineering at Henter Joyce/Freedom Scientific.

“I have been intentionally trying to avoid writing about blindness issues as I feel that Jesse, Connor, Sarah, Alison, Chancy and some others do a much better job these days as they are all very much in real situations and I'm a lonely eccentric old man who has fallen out of touch with most things related to blindness technology other than those I use personally. Also, as I've been quite public with, I am dealing with a major obsessive anxiety disorder and writing anything about blindness or the blindness biz is a trigger for my anxiety. But, in light of the events at the company formerly known as Freedom Scientific last week, I felt I needed to discuss some of them as I've the insider perspective on this one that my big five listed above cannot possibly know.

The most newsworthy of these events was that Glen Gordon was asked to resign and, in his public post published on LinkedIn, Glen wrote that he had expected to be working on JAWS for years to come and said so in his address at the NFB convention this past July but, in this statement, he said he had chosen to resign because the company no longer represented his values. I spoke to Glen last Thursday for the first time in abut fifteen years, it was a pleasant conversation about a nasty subject (refer to my post that morning).

I first met Glen 27 years ago and for six years, we were an incredible team leading JAWS, PAC Mate and the other FS software products. After we shipped the PAC Mate with a Braille line in December 2003, my mental health started to go south in a real hurry, it was my Marathon event, I made the delivery but dropped dead (mentally) at the end. I did some pretty good things in that final year but my brain was so broken, I was of no value to anyone so they chucked me out. Here, I will, for the first time state publicly that the sighted hardware VP we fired for incompetence got a $300,000 severance bonus and I, the VP of Software Engineering - the source of 100% of our profits, was instead threatened with lawsuits nine separate times by them, a costly venture and got a $0 severance package. This is when I started being a public critic in the blindness space and started warning the public about the risks we were taking by permitting a group of sighted investors to have control of the most important program in the blindness world. But, the work Glen and I did between 1999 and 2004 had turned JAWS into a monopoly with a marketshare greater than 80% and most blind people in workplaces worldwide used JAWS so, in a sense, we were addicted to a drug sold to us by people who had profits and not our best interests in the forefront.

Losing Glen from JAWS would be akin to the Rolling Stones firing Mick, they fired Keith when they fired me. We would not have JAWS For Windows had it not been for Glen. While he and I would bicker some times over software engineering processes (something I am very formal about), after working with him for about six months, I realized I had met what was possibly the greatest Windows hacker alive, blind or sighted. We ensured we came closest to the specifications on any request for proposal from a government agency, corporation, university or whatever was asking for a site license. Window-Eyes, our closest competitor, didn't even try. We hit 100% of the RFP for Social Security Agency (SSA) and the game was over. Why Window-Eyes even submitted when they only hit 35% of the RFP made us scratch our heads, "Are they even trying?" The answer was "no" Doug Giofray is a sighted guy who didn't feel the urgency Glen and I did so didn't really compete.

Glen has been slowly losing his leadership role at FS. They changed his title from Chief Technical Officer to something called "software fellow" or whatever that means. That I knew more about their financials than he did shows that he has been "corner officed" for some time and had little influence on the direction of the company. He was the last person near the top of the company for whom I have any respect and now he's gone.

There were other long time employees who were also chucked out last week. As I predicted in the spring, they are seeing a massive revenue hit and it's now quite obvious that they are going to try to jack up the prices, lose anyone who actually gives a poop about the technology and squeeze as many dollars as they can - this is the standard model for private equity investors when things go bad, you can find zounds of companies that have fallen this way. (1/2)

Somewhere in the world, there is, I'm sure, a person waking up to the sound of their Mickey Mouse talking alarm clock from 1974.

They got it for Christmas that year, when they were eight years old, and it still works flawlessly, never having needed any maintenance.

How much of our modern technology could that be said about in 51 years?

FYI On November 19, 2025 a test of the National Public Alerting System (NPAS) will be sent out in all provinces and territories over wireless networks, TV, and radio.

Canadians will receive a test message from their provincial or territorial government. A test schedule can be found on the Alert Ready website. #alertready #NPAS #cdnpoli #polcan #ocanada

For our friends in the #USA from the #FCC: On November 20, 2025, the FCC at its Open Meeting will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) which would seek comment on terminating the mandatory status of TTY-based relay service for state-based Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) programs; facilitate the transition of analog TRS users to Internet-based forms of TRS; propose and seek comment on recognizing IP Speech-To-Speech Relay Service as a compensable form of TRS; explore certifying a national analog relay provider; and seek comment on streamlining TRS provider certification and data collection processes, updating or eliminating obsolete rules, and closing an outdated docket.

The November 2025 Open Meeting is scheduled for 10:30am ET on Thursday, November 20, 2025, and will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, 45 L Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20554. The FCC meeting is also streamed at www.fcc.gov/live. Open captioning and sign language interpreting will be provided for this meeting. Other reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. E-mail your request to fcc504@fcc.gov or call (202) 418-0530.

Re: last noc.social/@todayilearned/1155…) about Mozart's song "Lick me in the arse", I partially read the Wikipedia article, and I have to say, singing a six-voice canon (round) at a party sounds like fun.

TIL that Mozart, one of the most influential composers in history, wrote a piece of music titled: "Lick me in the arse".

After a few intense days with GPT Codex, it’s finally time to officially introduce Sara. #SARA or Simple Accessible Radio Automation, is a program primarily designed for radio presenters who host live shows.

Some notable features that are currently missing from other broadcast solutions accessible to blind users include:

a loop function – especially useful for intros,
a flexible number of playlists and players,
and a news editor module with the ability to embed audio clips that can be played while reading the news.

The application is 100% vibe-coded, and it’s definitely not recommended to test it during a live broadcast. It requires several sound cards to operate, and for now, I’m not planning to add any virtual audio routing like the one found in Radioboss or SPL. The program is and will remain open source, and perhaps someone interested in contributing will join the project.

In terms of screen reader compatibility, the main focus is on NVDA.

Happy testing: gitrls.com/michaldziwisz/sara/
