@NVAccess @jcsteh I appreciate your insights here. I am planning to open an issue on GitHub, but I first want to make sure it actually needs a separate issue.
Currently, when NVDA encounters bold or italic text in HTML, it displays that word or phrase on its own line in the virtual buffer. Just like with links, NVDA then places the following non-styled text directly after it on the same line. This means that when navigating with Up and Down arrows, you may encounter several new lines in the middle of a paragraph, each starting with one or more bold or italic words, followed by normal text. Besides making navigation more difficult, this behavior is not very useful. For example, in online dictionaries where one or more words in an example sentence are bold or italic, the virtual buffer does not show how many words at the start of the line actually have that formatting.
To see this issue, which is very easy to reproduce, go to the Merriam-Webster dictionary website and check the definition of β€œworkaholic.” Here is the direct link:
merriam-webster.com/dictionary…
In the Examples section, the first example displays β€œMy brother is a real” on one line, and on the next line it shows β€œworkaholic who almost never takes time off.” The problem is even worse in the Recent Examples section. There, in addition to an italicized word inside the example, the name of the publication is also bold or italic, and NVDA breaks the paragraph even further and places each styled element on its own line.
At the very least, there should be a setting that toggles this behavior, so users can choose between the current mode and an alternative mode where bold, italic, and underline formatting does not break the virtual buffer into separate lines.
Also, when pressing Insert+F on text that is bold or italic, NVDA reports formatting details only at the end. For example:
β€œOpen Sans 14.5 pt very dark pale aqua-blue on white bold italic align left.”
It would be better if NVDA announced bold, italic, or underline at the beginning instead of the end, similar to how JAWS does it. For example:
β€œbold italic align left Open Sans 14.5 pt very dark pale aqua-blue on white.”
I want to open an issue requesting NVDA to stop separating bold and italic text from surrounding words, or at least provide a toggle for it, and to improve how formatting information is announced in general. There should be more efficient ways to convey this information without altering the structure of the virtual buffer.

You may get some pushback though. By definition, turning screen layout off means you're asking NVDA not to respect visual layout and to instead break lines. Where lines are broken, then, is debatable. You personally just want this for links and I tend to agree that formatting and links are very different, but it could equally be argued that the same rule should be applied to other inline elements because they are still different from the surrounding text. VoiceOver breaks on every. single. element. for example. This is why I personally dislike non-screen layout in general, even for links, but I respect that there are different preferences and styles of navigation.

And oh boy all terms seem so foreign to me as a long time #Linux user. The same disk is called ada0 with a partition like ada0p2 in #FreeBSD, will be called something like sd0 with sd0h in #OpenBSD, ld0 and dk2 in #NetBSD . Then to experiment, all the #dkctl, #disklabel and #fdisk commands are like blue and red wires on a dynamite you have to get rid of 😱. Linux distros nowadays seem to be going to the #gdisk way which feels very much like #gpart in FreeBSD.

If I might weigh in here with some personal experience as an indie artist. I’ll refer to my streaming stats for March 2025 which totalled a bit over four dollars in streaming earnings.

Amazon Music: 6 streams, $0.00
Spotify: 84 streams, $0.00
Tidal: 2 streams, $0.01
Pandora Plus: 3 streams, <$0.01
Deezer: 1 stream, <$0.01
Facebook/Instagram: 21 streams, <$0.01
YouTube: 87 streams, ~$0.21
Apple Music: 27 streams, ~$0.15
Soundcloud: 23 streams, ~$3.78

If you are paying a Soundcloud subscription, a portion of that will go directly towards the specific artists you’re streaming.

I haven’t mentioned Bandcamp as I think of it as a music shop rather than a subscription streaming service, but straight up purchasing music there is a really great way to support your chosen artists.

I feel this needs to be repeated πŸͺ

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.

The easiest way to install chatmail server is a small project written by a single person, meanwhile the #deltachat official server installation process is cluster of unintelligible documentation and a docker image that need multiple commands to setup properly.

How does that one dev build a better hosting experience than a company?

Are there any plans to make chatmail and friends configurations more distro-agnostic or at least documented in the future, because I'm in the middle of packaging it for RHEL (and possibly Fedora) and so far it has been an interesting experience to even get the build dependencies packaged and I have not even arrived at digging the configurations out of cmdeploy yet.

@phnt Please feel free to open an issue at github.com/chatmail/relay describing what you did/intend to do.

It's true that the repository for now targets Debian12 but the deployment client (where cmdeploy is installed) should not be distro-dependent. There recently landed a new documentation side btw chatmail.at/doc/relay/

Alright so I got a USB hub that can pass through power as a replacement for my Thunderbolt dock as I suspect the Dock's USB hub was failing and surprise surprise I can't use the HDMI ports on it, not picked up by my laptop.

Oh also the laptop's own HDMI isn't working. Monitor seems to detect something for a split second and then signal lost

alright the new USB hub runs "usbconfig" instantly, but with the old Thunderbolt3 dock it would hang for 2 seconds sometimes. It must have been failing. That explains why I'd have issues with devices refusing to communicate through it properly sometimes without a power cycle of my laptop, even.

could that have also been a reason why I had some weird MacOS issues? That same USB hub in the dock was misbehaving and it was screwing with my Mac?

Who knows. What a weird issue though.
