Here's another really cool recent discovery. The "phonetic punctuation" NVDA addon has been around for a while, and it used to do one thing, substitute various symbols (or more technically any regular expression you put in), with sounds. But, as I discovered accidentally while looking for something in the addon store, it was quietly updated in December, now renamed "Earcons and Speech Rules." And this new version is a huge game changer at least for me. If you ever used the JAWS speech and sounds manager to its fullest this addon is now basically an equivllent. You can give any control type or state a sound, and unlike something like unspoken, these sounds are played in sync with the speech and the addon has no problem dealing with something like multiple links on a line. It also allows you to have NVDA indicate various formatting attributes, like bold, italic and heading levels, with either pitch/speed/volume changes or sounds. The very latest version of this addon comes with built-in heading level sounds that I contributed, and in an upcoming version it will also support assigning spelling errors as a formatting attribute. github.com/mltony/nvda-phoneti…

I'd like to create #wireguard tunnel between two natted machines. I'm fine with using an intermediate third machine for IP addresses and ports discovery.
The idea outlined in this article sounds verry appealing to me.
However I'm wondering is there something that is developed further beyond a proof of concept I might look at instead? I know there is #tailscale. That sounds too much for me unfortunatelly as I do need to register with them and similar. Thus I'm exploring if there is something I can self host.

Weird tech mystery of the day.

I am running a Bookwyrm instance, which receives a post request to /inbox about twice a minute, from mastodon.sdf.org. The user it is posted as no longer exists, and every time this happens, SDF returns a 404, which is then logged here. Any idea what is going on? The two IP addresses the requests come from belong to mastodon.sdf.org, so I am assuming they are not forged.

Jenny had married Roger, a man much older than her. Concerned about his health, she decided they should have separate bedrooms after the wedding to ensure he didn’t over-exert himself.

That night, after the celebrations, Jenny got ready for bed. Soon, there was a knock at her door. It was Roger, her 85-year-old groom, ready for some romantic time together.

They enjoyed their time, and Roger left. Jenny was about to fall asleep when she heard another knock. To her surprise, it was Roger again, full of energy. They spent more time together, and he left once more.

Just as she settled in, there was yet another knock. Roger, as lively as ever, was back for a third round. Jenny laughed and went along with it again.

Afterward, she looked at Roger in amazement. "I’m so impressed!" she said. "At your age, you’ve got more stamina than men a third your age. You’re incredible!"

Roger paused, looking puzzled. "Wait," he said. "You mean I’ve been here before?"

Myself and my good friend @bumble (who runs a variety of server types on the fediverse), are joining forces to offer #hosting for #GoToSocial servers.

It's early days but we'd be keen to hear from anyone who wants to try running their own GoToSocial but doesn't have the skill, want, or equipment to run their own server.

The aim is to simply charge for running costs for the server. We will not take any costs from this (unless we end up with hundreds of them!). We anticipate a basic instance for one user (or a small handful) will be 5 euros per month and the charge is month to month. You pay each month in advance, and can cancel any time.

All you need is a domain name (or a sub-domain of your existing domain). We can help with this, or help you buy one for a few dollars/euros. We will handle all admin of the server.

Initially we are only looking for a few people to participate. If you are interested send me a direct message.

Found this Windows virtual display driver which basically acts like the software equivalent of a dummy plug. This solves a very specific problem for me: If I close my laptop lid and try to take screenshots or share my screen, they show up in 480p because Windows apparently defaults to that when no display is connected. This also makes websites render in their mobile layout unless I zoom the page in.
The driver goes all the way up to 4k resolution and can actually emulate multiple monitors if you need that for some reason, but I found 4k lagged my poor five-year-old laptop noticeably, so I'm using 1080p now. This also would have been really useful in the days when screen readers didn't have screen curtain, but now they do. When looking through the assets, make sure you download the setup instead of the driver, unless you want to manually configure it. github.com/VirtualDisplay/Virt…

And another recommendation while I'm here, this one for basically every platform, I kept hearing @joplinapp brought up in discussionss of best note taking apps, and I finally sat down to try it out after they advertised accessibility improvements in the latest update and yeah I'm loving it so far. Everything has hotkeys, the controls read very well including the quick search/command palette, you have a markdown preview right next to the note you're working on, it has a spell checker, you can attach files to your notes, and everything syncs encrypted to any device using pretty much whatever you want, it supports everything from syncing through a local directory on your filesystem which is only on the desktop version, to dropbox/onedrive/webdav or their own cloud solution. It's an app with a simple and very accessible interface with a lot of features

Spent the last 6 hours trying to get a hello world equivalent gui window with a button on rust under windows.

This task which one might think is simple ended up taking literal hours and still hasn't been achieved because: the tutorials for gtk on windows and rust suggest putting msys2 bin directory on the path. This causes rust to fail to build correctly because it uses the wrong gcc and linkers.
Afterwards I managed it by using the appropriate environment variables.
But then I found out the dynamically linked libarries weren't found. I tried getting a way to copy them but it turned out to be too much work so I just moved the executable to the same dir.
Only to find out that gtk4 has no accessibility on Windows. Not bad accessibility, not accessibility that needs to be turned on. No. Accessibility. At all.
So then I decided to try Qt, which wants me to create an account to get an installer. Absolute no.
Got the 1.5gb sources and trying now to get an off-line installer out of it.

To get a fucking window with a button in it.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to say this state of affairs is complete bullshit, and that most people with a normal level of motivation would have found plenty of opportunities to have given up. I still might.

(Not using NWG because tying the data to the GUI elements is non-trivial, it seems to require copying a lot and using twice the memory.)

I'm a bit nervous about the fact it uses an external crate for a11y, so it's not on by default, and it says some widgets have a11y support, so it's not clear if all of them do. Also can one do list views? I haven't seen them on the list of widgets.

I've been trying FLTK after running out of other options. I can see why you recommended it, the building situation is so much easier, just cargo add with the bundle feature and it's done.

Unfortunately the accessibility implementation isn't good. I've only given a quick look, but the example provided already doesn't work well. Specifically, the screen reader re-reads every time an input field is changed, so it reads the entire input whenever a new character is entered.

However if one day the accessibility situation improves I will definitely look into it again. It seems much easier to deploy.

Made this disco track in Ableton last night. I wanted to try making something exclusively using samples, but also edit them to make them unique to me. I think it turned out sounding great, and Ableton made chopping and resequencing parts extremely easy and fun. Sorry no alt text for this one, for some reason I'm not able to enter it on the web, so I'll put it here.

#introduction

Hi everyone! Thought I'd resend my introduction after not being active for who knows how long. And as far as I'm aware, on this server I haven't even introduced myself yet.
I'm Nikolett from Hungary. I used to have an account on Mastodon, but I wasn't that interested in the whole Fediverse thing back then.
Now I'm 22 years old. I'm Hungarian, but I'm very interested in slavic languages and culture. I speak Russian fluently, as well as Polish, but in the latter I'm a beginner. I studied Russian at university for 4 years, and now I'm an official translator.
I am very interested in music: I play piano, as well as a little guitar, and sing in my freetime. I love animals; I have a black cat who has been part of my life for 12 years.
I like technology and IT. I want to learn programming as a hobby, but no one is teaching me yet. I also really like retro, old things.
I also like to play computer games, although I have a hard time losing. 😊
I usually smile because it's important for me to connect with people and for everyone to feel comfortable talking to me.
What I don't think is worth hiding is that I am blind. But that fact doesn't stop me from doing almost everything I set my mind to.
I'm just happy to be here! 😊

So I've seen this talked about here a bit, but I wanted to give more context on Kokoro TTS. This model was open sourced back on December 25, and was trained almost entirely on synthetic data taken from Eleven Labs and Open AI. Legality aside, the quality speaks for itself. This is an 82 million parameter model, which is very small by today's standards, but that means it's incredibly fast even on CPU.

The main dev responsible for training seems to know much more than the average open source enthusiast about how to make high-quality TTS, and I think the results speak for themselves. The model is under very active development and still quite young, more data is currently being collected, and a new version will be trained and released likely in the coming months. Their Discord is quite active, and I'm over there as well if you'd like to join. I think this has the potential to be a great option for blind screen reader users, who may not be able to afford something like Vocalizer on Windows, but we're not quite there just yet in terms of performance.

Here is a demo of one of the voices reading about Android.

Dear friends, #screenreader users, #blind users and #accessibility professionals in particular.
Are you using chat over traditional email as provided by #DeltaChat / #DeltaLab / #ArcaneChat?
I like it uses traditional email infrastructure, is federated, supports end to end encryption, rich content including audio / voice messages. I have even recognized @adb has implemented screen reader accessibility specific features into the android app.
However I have quickly tried electron based app on linux with orca screen reader, exchanged a few messages back and fort between two of my personal accounts using the DeltaChat app and thunderbird and I haven't found the user experience verry appealing. I can't understand how to effectivelly navigate in the list of conversations and list of messages.
Therefore I would be interested to hear a few comments from people knowing this platform better. How accessible is it on different platforms?
On the desktop is the electron based app a prefered choice?
Also some other questions. For the best experience, do I need a new email address or can I use my existing self-hosted one I have already configured in thunderbird?
Ffeel free to point me to a FAQ, some up to date introductory documentation if you think my questions don't make much sense please.

@WofWca So I have finally updated to the latest and greatest #deltachat desktop. And I must say I am really impressed.
Both lists, list of conversations and list of messages are now keyboard navigable.
The hint for the screen reader users is that not all of the screen readers may switch into focus mode automatically so once you do this manually you can enjoy the user experience the way it has been designed.
Also there are nice keyboard shortcuts e.g. ctrl+n for jumping into the input box, ctrl+k for search and more.
Now I do really need to explore more i.e. what about the encryption. Can I use my existing GPG key or add a subkey or is that handled transparently on the background? I need to figure out if I should create new email for chatting or use my primary email.
Still from the accessibility point of view we are really getting something usefull I think.

Note to my-self and other people like me:
Read the #deltachat help at delta.chat/en/help it's all perfectly explained there in easy to follow language. It's even translated to various different languages already.
The number one answer for me is that there are #deltachat specific so called #chatmail servers suitable for anonymous instant messaging over email.
So eventhough I like to self host my emails, I think I'll go with existing #chatmail server at least initially.

Delta Chat

@devSJR If you have mostly or only "green-checkmarked" chats you can reconfigure your e-mail address to another server and then send a message to your contact which should update them. This will not migrate unencrypted or opportunistically encrypted chats, though, which is why we don't prominently recommend it. Another way is to create a new profile, and then add it to all relevant chats and remove the old profile. More cumbersome but also pretty failsafe.

@WofWca Perhaps making sure parent of those list items has an attribute role="list" or if you are sure everything inside a particular DOM subtree has logical keyboard focus handling perhaps role="application" on encompassing parent element would do the ttrick. However it really has to be considered visely as it makes it more difficult for screen reader users do read parts of the UI that should behave like a document content by lines, by words and similar.

@Samuel Proulx I understand @Musharraf has made verry significant progress for example as compared to piper TTS. To me it looks it's much lighter for both training and using trained model even enhancing audio quality and elligibility in the process. This is just my guess but with such an achievement it's fine not to limit it to blind audience exclusivelly. This is how I am seeing #optispeech. However I haven't played with kokoro TTS thus I have asked how much do you like it for example while comparing to something else, perhaps piper TTS if you do know that one.

@IzzyOnDroid has been doing an amazing job getting our repo to over 30% of apps being reproducible. Maintaining a rebuilder takes a lot of constant work. Thank you!

As I've written before:

[...] the ecosystem is constantly moving: old toolchain and dependency bugs get fixed, but new ones keep popping up. [...] Reproducible Builds are not just an item on a checklist [...] It's an ongoing process involving not just upstream app developers, but also maintainers of repositories, clients, and rebuilders; those involved in outreach and writing documentation; developers and maintainers of tooling, toolchains, and dependencies. And often requires a lot of collaborative debugging :)

TIL #Catima is apparently mirrored onto #RuStore through #Aptoide, or so someone reported: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Few problems with that: I have no control over the RuStore listing, nor do I control the Aptoide listing. Both may very well be malware.

It should go without saying: don't download apps from sketchy unofficial "app stores" and other APK download sites.

catima.app/ and github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro… link you to all the safe and supported download sources :)
