I just lost access to a substantial amount of issues on one of my #GitHub projects.

I would appreciate if people could help upvote github.com/orgs/community/disc… to get more attention.

GitHub staff won't even tell me how much data they've hidden from me, which is quite discouraging :(

#GitHub #OpenSource #DataLoss

A GitHub Support discussion. The discussion is too long to put in alt-text, but to summarize, "something" happened to an account of someone who reported issues to my project and GitHub has silently hidden all those issues. Support basically told me they would not help restore the data, that this is by design, and that I should open a feature request.

TL;DR for Youtube Premium Lite: $8 per month, instead of Premium's $14. No ads on most videos, but ads on music. No downloading, no playback when Youtube is in the background/the phone is locked. Basically, consider Lite if you never listen to Youtube with the screen off and/or don't consume music through Youtube.

For a while, a dog in Milan, Italy named Cacao, frequently rode the No. 54 bus—by himself! Yes, really. He would only board the bus if he recognized the driver, whom he had known for years. Cacao would go to a park and simply wander around gardens and public spaces before taking the same bus back to his house, where his owner, known only as Nicoletta, would wait for him to come back.
Here is Cacao, about to board the No. 54 bus.

So the primary thing I've learned from trying out the Ducky One #mechanical#keyboard is just how much lag my previous keyboards (a codekeyboard and a razer) were adding. I use a #screenreader, so I'm deeply aware of the audio lag from headphones and the audio subsystem, and configure things to reduce that as much as I can. I also knew bluetooth can introduce lag. But on picking up the Ducky...wow! A few ms can really matter! My system feels faster than it's ever felt before. Even if I wind up returning this, now I know that keyboard refresh rate is a thing I care about. Also, the inductive switches feel really nice and clicky to press, but are reasonably quiet for those around me.

So this evening, #Windows update installed the wrong #AMD video driver update for my Framework 16. Using #narrator, I was able to boot into recovery mode, enter my bitlocker key to decrypt the effected drive, find my system restore point, and restore it to just before the bad update. The entire process was fully #accessible: all of my sound devices worked, my external keyboard worked, the screen reader read every screen, etc. The only thing that wouldn't work was my Braille display.

Hi everyone, we had a question on the weekend about the best programs, accessible with NVDA under Windows, for:

1. An accessible client to work with multiple calendars via CalDAV

2. A program which can work as a to-do-list.

The user would prefer not to use Outlook if possible. Has anyone got tips please?

Here's something @jaybird110127 will probably appreciate.

I recorded the alarm of my vintage Sharp CT-661G talking alarm clock with an EM pickup coil, and noticed that it has substantial aliasing.
I put a high pass filter at 12 kHz on the audio, so that only the aliasing is audible, then ran it through a band shifter effect in Reaper a couple of times. The result is rather interesting.

I recieved some interesting news today about the Blind Geek Zone website that I closed last year. Apparently Sam Tupy was able to retrieve most of the audio files and pages from the site before it's demise. He's offered to put the site up so that others can get to everything once again and I plan on letting him do that. I'm very happy that someone was able to recover things as unfortunately I was not. Basically it's of only historical value but I thought it was very nice of him to contact me.

Today's victory over enshittification:

I mainly bought my new Google TV Streamer device to listen to audio-only content. So imagine my disappointment when it only worked for 10 minutes. Video worked fine, as did Spotify somehow. Auto-shutdown was set to an hour, and the ambient mode app was disabled. Audio playback just stopped and turned off the receiver and TV entirely, and I exchanged enough connections to know the streamer was the initiator.

The fix, apparently, is to enable developer mode, go into the developer mode settings, check the option to keep the screen awake, then audio-only content like Antennapod works. I guess audio-only apps don't keep the screen alive which, in turn, sends CEC to kill everything else. Hoping auto-shutdown takes over when I stop streaming so this isn't too wasteful.

What an absolute crock. I shouldn't need to be an Android developer to figure this shit out.

I know I am late to the party, but I am just now getting into Remote Incident Manager (RIM) by @pneumasolutions. So far, I am only testing with myself, from one Mac to another, but I am finding it a very cool solution. With RIM, a blind person can assist another person, regardless of that person also being blind and needing a screen reader, or not. I plan to use it to log into my home computer from the road occasionally, but also have purchased the weekend add-on so I can help others if the need arises. I can see how RIM can be a great training tool also.

@Jonathan @Sean Randall @Marco Zehe If you would be okaish only transmitting sound and video instead of accessibility events, perhaps you can make some use of #rustdesk. I had some luck controlling a windows machine running NVDA from linux with it. There is no way to accessibly switch fullscreen rustdesk window into windowed mode, so I've moved it into another desktop workspace so I can easily switch back and forth within controlled and controlling machine. On Android it implements accessibility service for hooking keys but I haven't played with it on android.

Když teď vyšel nový PiHole, tak jsem ho zkusil nahodit na naší LAN síti. Většina reklam na tabletech zmizela. Zarazilo mě ale to brutální množství zablokovaných domén. 70 % našeho DNS provozu PiHole blokuje. Na grafu je i vidět, kdy byly tablety online.

I posted a while back about my occasional (but regular) need to paste numbers, stripping out punctuation, spaces, etc. This is particularly useful when paying bills, since amounts, reference numbers, etc. are often written with spaces or punctuation, but banking sites tend to barf if you include those. It turns out you can do this with Ditto Clipboard Manager using a paste script. I originally thought that paste scripts always ran, which doesn't work for me, but it turns out that they actually appear as items in the Special Paste menu, which is IMO not very well documented. Anyway, go to Ditto -> Options -> General -> Advanced -> On Paste Scripts and add this script:
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^\\d.]", "");
return false;
The name you specify is what appears in the Special Paste menu. You can even assign a shortcut key to that Special Paste item. Then, you just have to open Ditto, go to the item you want to paste and press the shortcut key (or use the Special Paste menu).

If you get to the icon in the notification area (AKA system tray) of the taskbar, you can press the applications key (AKA menu key) to get the menu to come up. Once you get into Preferences, you can also bind a keyboard shortcut on the Quick Paste keyboard tab to bring up the menu so you don't have to faf around with the taskbar next time. I bound control+m here, so I can just press control+`, control+m to get the menu.

I wonder who might be willing to fund an overhaul of Java accessibility on Windows, particularly for frameworks that run on top of AWT like Swing and the desktop version of Jetpack Compose. The old Java Access Bridge for Windows was necessary back when there was nothing but Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA). But today, Java should implement UI Automation.

The decrepit state of Java accessibility on Windows has real consequences for users. mindly.social/@valiant8086/114…

It's too far back in my timeline, but I just installed blip, a free file transferring application on Windows. It works on other platforms too. The link I used was on a blog post where they discussed how it worked with Voiceover on the Mac. On windows? 100 percent inaccessible. I can't navigate anything at all. I pushed enter and it took me to a license agreement page. That's all I can get it to do. What a blah. I imagine it works fine on Android. How is there anything on Windows that is just 0 navigation at all. I can't move the navigator object in NVDA or anything. Absolutely nothing, like it's a video game. That's pretty rare to find something that bad.

#XMPP enthusiasts out there: what would you say the ultimate Achilles heel of the XMPP ecosystem is, at present? Fragmentation of clients? What?

My sense is that it's this: when one goes to store an XMPP address in one's addressbook, there doesn't seem to be standard way to store an XMPP address. #Android doesn't have that as an allowable field, and #Thunderbird and #Nextcloud have an "Instant Messaging" field, where the type can be set to "XMPP". But are these two compatible with each other when trying to sync between them? Edit: Yes, but there's a catch: *the XMPP address must be prefixed with "xmpp:"*

So "user@foo.bar" is not an OK XMPP address, but "xmpp:user@foo.bar" is.

Then to make matters worse, now there's a wish to change the labeling of "XMPP Address" to "Chat ID": gultsch.social/@daniel/1140129…

It might be a long time before the address synchy-ness ever works again between Android <-> #Davx5 <-> Nextcloud <->Thunderbird

Note: Android allows a "Jabber" type for an IM address, where you *don't* prefix the address with "xmpp:".
