Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Para ser lunes, la gente ha venido con energía, sobre todo en la sinhueso.
Just decided to change a character’s name in a story from Dan to Jeff, so I did a find and replace. Problem is I didn’t think about the fact that Dan did a lot of dancing in the story, so now I’m finding and replacing Jeffce, Jeffced, Jeffces, and Jeffcing.

The blocked shutdown dialog in Windows is the computer equivalent of not being able to sleep for a thousand and one thoughts zooming round your head.
ladies and gentlemen, this is a clear case of proof your dictation! curtisy of some poor sap on a mailing list, he says, I have a braille sense sex. Uh, I think he meant braille sense six? Proof, your, e-mails!
@NVAccess@fosstodon.org I'm currently a JAWS user but have heard about NVDA (someone told me the keybinds are the same as Windows Narrator, not sure if that's true) what resources would you recommend to a Windows Screen reader newbie to learn the basics of NVDA? Would the Windows Narrator tutorial suffice, or should I look at something else?
Many of NVDA's keystrokes are similar to the Jaws keystrokes. We have a comparison guide here: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/…
The NVDA user guide includes a quick start guide which has some of the important things you'd likely want on day 1 of using NVDA: download.nvaccess.org/document…
For more in-depth training, we'd recommend "Basic Training for NVDA" which we do sell, it's $32 Australian for the electronic text version: nvaccess.org/product-category/…

my favourite little bit of trivia is that they built a whole alien language and then just said "fukkit, they go ANK ANK ANK all the time."
my second favourite trivia is that on the home video release there was a subtitle option for "martian" that was all ANK ANK ANK ANK ANK ANK the entire movie
Ok @main @mastoblind @NVAccess got a puzzler for all my #nvda users. So somehow yesterday I managed to bungle my way into where NVDA was acting like it was locked into focus mode everywhere, and could not be brought out of it, received "unsupported input" for single letter nav everywhere, and hotkeys like alt+tab would not register. I ended up having to do a full reset on it to fix the problem.I use #Braille Extender, and full#BrailleDisplay operation. Anyone got a clue what the fuck I did?

in reply to Munchkinbear • • •Gonna say the unpopular bit outloud, but I hate dictation. I hate using it, I hate reading it, it's nearly always so damn stilted, period.
Oh wait...
You can tell the blindies that use it 24-7 as well, because their WhatsApp voice messages are more soulless than an AI voice, and they will say punctuation because they forget they can actually talk like a human.
