Gibt es hier auf Mastodon/im Fediverse etwas Äquivalentes zu den "zu verschenken"-Gruppen anderswo? Bräuchte sowas für #Bochum
Filling out #Microsoft #Windows #Narrator survey. Does Narrator even support #SAPI5? Support claims it does, but why my esoteric voices are not there in the list then?.. #Accessibility #ScreenReader
Vielleicht kann mir hier jemensch helfen: Gibt es eine Möglihckeit, bei Windows dafür zu sorgen, dass ein Audiogerät als Lautsprecher und nicht als Kopfhörer systemseitig erkannt wird?
Hintergrund: Mein Dienstlaptop wirft auf alles, was als Kopfhörer erkannt wird, nervige Raumklangeffekte, obwohl im OS dahingehend alles ausgeschaltet ist. Jetzt habe ich einen USB-C Dongle auf 3,5 mm Klinke verbunden. Was ich dort anschließe, wird als Lautsprecher von Windows erkannt und bekommt keinen Pseudoraumklang verpasst. Da ich mit Screenreader arbeite, ergibt sich dadurch ein extrem viel entspannteres Arbeitsgefühl! Nachteil ist allerdings, dass mein Dienstheadset via USB-C als Kopfhörer erkannt und folglich mit den Audioeffekten beworfen wird. Ich würde es aber gern nutzen.
Kann ich angeschlossene und als Kopfhörer erkannte Audiogeräte, wie das Dienstheadset zu Lautsprechern umdeklarieren? Bonuspunkte, wenn das ohne Adminrechte geht. Danke!
Bei der #Union kann man live miterleben, wie müffelnde alte Männer nach vielen Jahren aus ihrem Hobbykeller ins Tageslicht stolpern und denken, hey, ich hätte da noch eine Idee, die ich mich bisher nicht auszusprechen traute, aber wir könnten ja [beliebige Verschlechterung für andere Leute]!

Habe gestern meine #Friendica Stable auf "Blutwurz" geupdated (ich musste diesen schönen Namen jetzt einfach mal schreiben) 
Ich nutzte das #bookface scheme unter Frio.

Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass das ich in Desktopgröße einen kleinen Darstellungsschönheitsfehler habe.
Da steht oben jetzt einmal in english "compose" und daneben noch mal in Deutsch, "neuer Beitrag" (siehe Screenshot!). Wie kann ich das vielleicht fixen?

I think it will disappear if you update Bookface. There's a (previous) stable version of Bookface, and a version for RC. I think you should use the RC version now.

You have to either call it apps or networks/protocols, but the current information is incorrect. "Matrix" is not an app, but the network/protocol. "Element" is one client for it (like e.g. Cinny or the Element based Schildi). Either way you have to merge Element + Matrix.

When you google something, and google comes up with all kinds of squek. So here's the question since I heard of #FastPlayer on Mastodon, and since google is being a squekteh: Where can Fastplayer be found?
@Bri I didn't know you were around to send the link to FastPlay: better for our friend to receive it twice than not at all!
I just wanted to say thank you to all the #blind folk who responded last night to give me so many fantastic responses.
It's given me a clear direction of travel, and been quite affirming in terms of my future plans.
I don't have as much money as I'd like, but I can certainly do some things.
I think I'm going to go back to the table and ask the charity to put some of our own money in so that I can do something for Deafblind people.
They may say no.
Probably not, you seem like a good citizen. I'm just saying (mostly joking) that now you've engaged with the blind kind, we'll notice...
Have you ever cancelled a therapy appointment just because you can't deal with it today?
I'm fine, just exhausted.
Yep. Sometimes here it's been like, the more I need the appointment, the higher the chance of that sneaking up. I don't have any solutions really, just letting you know you're not mad. Or at least, you're not the only one who is... whatever that is.
A long one, but that's pretty common for Hindustani Classical. This is a recording from 1974 of Surbahar (essentially bass sitar) playing rāg yaman. This serene evening rāg is similar to lydian, though with rules. Alāp Jor Jhala refers to distinct sections. The alāp is a slow free-rhythm exploration of the rāg, jor/jod () introduces a steady rhythm, and jhala introduces a more lively rhythm (a constant pattering of melodic raindrops).

Yes, I need to learn more about Indian music, I love listening to it but I'm pretty much ignorant of the meaning of all the modes. It was especially amazing when Imrat Khan made the lower string sing in the 2nd octave, like really healing sounds.
@menelion Hindustani and Carnatic music theory are interesting different worlds to explore. I’ve mainly done rhythm theory though, but I understand the basics of rāg. Perhaps useful to know. The melody is mainly happening on one string. For reference, the surbahar usually has a scale length of 95-100cm. The instrument’s overall length can be more like 130cm. It’s a beast!

RE: social.heise.de/@heiseonline/1…
Für blinde Musiker*innen, die die zugänglichen Keyboards und auf NKS basierenden Bibliotheken nutzen, weil sie eben sprechend sind und somit zugänglich, im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen solchen Keyboard-Systemen, ist das eine verdammt schlechte Nachricht. Sehende können vielleicht auf Alternativen ausweichen, wir haben aber solche nicht. Wie bitter! Hoffe das ganze Ökosystem wird irgendwie gerettet.

Yesterday at work:
me: "Codex, figure out why <component> doesn't see <hardware>, even though <hardware> is clearly present on machine."
(left unsaid: component runs in container, other stuff (also in containers) sees hardware fine).
*2 minutes later*
Codex: "You have foo installed at version X (likely from ubuntu repositories), vendor's hardware support matrix page says that <hardware> only supports Foo at versions y+, I advise you to install from official vendor repo. If you run foo, it shows a "hardware not recognized" warning."
Me: "You don't have sudo, write a sh script runnable with sudo."
Codex: "script is at ..."
Me: "./script.sh; reboot"
*2 minutes later*
Oh that worked. Would have taken me hours of debugging otherwise.
The whole thing took about 15 minutes, most of which was installing packages over a slow network connection.
well what do you know! it looks like the streaming is working for me on here! very nice job! when I would do posts before I didn't see it for a few minutes, now I see it right away like I should. very very nice job by the developer.
So, jetzt weiß ich auch, woran es lag, dass ich immer dachte, meine Posts auf diesem Account würden zu spät in der Timeline erscheinen. Mein Programm, mit dem ich tröte, steckt noch in der Entwicklung, und erst jetzt ist das Streaming komplett. Jetzt läuft also alles. Das wird bedeuten, dass ich in nächster Zeit auf meine Instanz umziehe.

So um I just used this Guide thing to activate an inaccessible vst plugin holy fuck that was cool.
I've only tried this one so far. Didn't like Guide's monetization model. Doesn't have to be free here but I'd prefer to buy a pack of assists rather than a rolling sub.
@Scott High risk on Guide's part. No way I'm ever putting software out into the world with an LLM API key embedded in it.

I was trying to explain The Archers in a video call I was in on Duolingo. It asked me to tell a story from it and I just sighed and said that there were many crazy stories to tell. Makes me find a telenovela in Spanish to listen to. There are more on tv but don't know if there are any radio versions.

I hated my replacement wheelchair at first. But then I realised the metal rims stick out further than my old one and are great for scratching the paint off of any cars and vans parked across a pavement I'm using. Had it a month and racked up 3 cars and 4 works vans. 4.5 stars.
Willkommen beim Café Libertad
Hier wollen wir mit Euch zusammen an jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat zwischen 15:00 und 19:30 Uhr im Murx einen Offenen Freiraum mit anarchistischer Grundausrichtung schaffen, in welchen es um Austausch und Vernetzung gehen soll. Natürlich kann man auch einfach nur gemütlich einen Kaffee trinken, oder auch nur abhängen. Es besteht kein Konsumzwang, wenn gewollt kann selbst etwas zu trinken oder zu essen mitgebracht werden. Die Getränke des Cafés gibt es auf Spendenbasis.
Willst Du Dich beim Café Libertad einbringen oder mehr über den Hintergrund erfahren, empfehlen wir Dir den Langtext dazu zu lesen, Du findest ihn auf der Webseite des Murx und auch direkt unter murx-heidelberg.de/cafe-libert… Wir freuen uns wenn Du uns deshalb ansprichst.
Wann: Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat, 15:00 bis 19:30 Uhr
Wo: Freiraum Murx, Oberbadgasse 6, 69117 Heidelberg-Altstadt

Wichtig: Solltet Ihr Euch krank fühlen, dann bleibt bitte daheim, das Café Libertad gibt es an jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat und wir freuen uns Euch zu sehen wenn es Euch wieder gut geht. Natürlich haben wir wenn Ihr Euch nicht sicher seid vor Ort auch Corona-Tests und Masken.
Info: Leider ist es uns nicht möglich Informationen zum Café Libertad auch in der gut besuchten 'Demo-Info Rhein-Neckar' Telegram Gruppe zuverlässig zur Verfügung zu stellen, da genau diese Beiträge nach kurzer Zeit gezielt wieder gelöscht werden. Wir bedauern dieses unsolidarische Handeln ausdrücklich und versuchen es weiter.

What is with these websites with seemingly random soft hyphens placed everywhere?
Here's an example. It makes reading with a screen reader very difficult.
When researching a famous historical figure, access to their work and materials usually proves to be one of the biggest obstacles. But things are much more difficult for those writing about the life of Marie Curie, the scientist who, along her with husband Pierre, discovered polonium and radium and birthed the idea of particle physics. Her notebooks, her clothing, her furniture (not to mention her lab), pretty much everything surviving from her Parisian suburban house, is radioactive, and will be for 1,500 years or more.

@bnlandor @hosford42 @KaraLG84 @Akki iOS voiceover ignores them completely. Not everything does. NVDA, for example, which I am using now, treats them the same as a regular hyphen. This can be changed by a simple dictionary change, but, I guess, if you needed those in code for some reason, you wouldn't know they were there if that were the default.
That being said, I think it should be.
