I'm so glad NVDA, Narrator, Orca, VoiceOver, TDSR, and Fenrir exist. I'm so, so glad JAWS is not the only desktop screen reader, and that FS did not persue JAWS for Mac.
I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.
### Impact This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to force the target server to cryptographically sign arbitrary membership events. The flaw exists because the server fails...GitHub
Peter Vágner reshared this.
"[...] Machines are made by men for man's benefit and progress, but when man ceases to control the products of his ingenuity and imagination he not only risks losing the benefit, but he takes a long and unpredictable step into...the Twilight Zone."
The story checks out.
For the love of Bob I'm begging people to stop putting unnecessary electronics in fucking everything.
My new fridge has a screen, with capacitive buttons that don't even seem to always do the same thing. So no adjusting the fridge for me. Then, more egregiously, I got a water filter jug, and it has a tiny screen in it, for some reason. Presumably because sighted people are incapable of tasting when the filter needs replacing, or god forbid putting a note in their bloody calendar to change the damn thing.
I love gadgets, but this is just fucking silly. Mountains and mountains of ewaste and it's all this sort of useless shit.

I added a sentence to the #curl hackerone submission page:
"Please present your case briefly and to the point. Do not use an AI to help you blab hundreds of lines that will exhaust us to death instead of making us understand your claim."
Shit is getting weird out there... oh wait, I mean same as it ever was.
"Two young #Jewish #children at #Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport were harassed by a man who called them ‘pig,’ ordered them to dance, and threatened to snatch their #kippas if they did not ‘#freePalestine,’ according to footage circulating on social media this week.
The man who accosted the children filmed the video himself and addressed them in both #French and #English.
“Are you gonna free #Palestine, bro?’ the man asked, adding, “If you don’t free them, I’ll snatch your hat, bro.”

How does the Shadow DOM appear in the accessibility tree?
Browsers flatten the shadow tree when building the accessibility tree. Flattening removes the accessibility boundary of the shadow root and exposes the internal nodes as if they were normal children in the accessibility tree, not the DOM tree.

арахнофобия - это расстройство и его лечат. но в ходе лечения арахнофобии людям не рассказывают, что каракурты безопасны, их нужно развести в доме как можно больше, играть с ними и чесать им спинки.
а вот с исламистами почему то не так.

Ubuntu-based elementary OS 8.1 is now available with the Wayland-based Secure Session set as the default and fixes over 1,100 reported issues.

Today I checked elementary OS's website, because I was curious if elementary OS 8.1 had released yet. And nothing. It turns out I just checked two hours early, because it just released right now!
It brings fractional display scaling. Finally! I have been whining about this for way too long. And now it's here. The Wayland session is now the default session, and a lot of other goodies, and as always with elementary, a huge focus on accessibility, which couldn't be a bigger deal.
Huge props to the @elementary team, and congratulations to them!
My laptop is giving me the side-eye right now. It knows what's about to happen. :D
Viewpoint 2.0 just has been released.
The update includes support for Gemini 3, improved speed, the removal of the deprecated 2.0 models, better PDF support, drag-and-drop support, and more.
