Yeah. You can record until stopped, then step through your scenes in real time to capture a full performance with all the synths. It's not as nice as just exporting, but it works. The last #Movuary I did today, I just recorded Move's output from USB-C into Reaper. You'll want to make sure the screen reader and metronome are off if you do that.

Couple months ago I asked about #SDR radio stuff for the blind. I tried couple of very interesting thingsbut not very accessible / friendly so... As AI / vibe coding / crap is all the fassion these days I hacked something for Windows with Claude. Code sucks but I learned a lot about radio, modulation, DC offsets and lots more. You can find it here, very alfa stage and broken. github.com/ragb/accessdr Installer might or might not work, who dknows. Docs are AI shitchat.

Perhaps you remember I am occassionally running #emacs on android with speechd-el and espeak-ng providing speech output. Up to now I was using termux for doing that.
Now I'm trying to get it to run on a pixel 9A with @GrapheneOS and the terminal app with #avf under the hood.

The thing is I'd like to get more up to date packages in that virtualized environment running on my phone. I'd prefer #ArchLinuxARM based image or #Debian testing. Upgrading it by following debian's instructions I am getting broken image. I have found there's nixos-avf however I can't find more.

Do you know if someone has succeeded building other images that might help me to get to my goal easier?

For those who are looking for alternatives to #wisprFlow, can try #Monologue. The start button is easier to find, and you can use other familiar features from WhisperFlow, like dictionary. There are other features that I love, like custom instructions and various modes, like email, messaging, and notes. I will provide my referral link in case you need it. (1/2)

It's also to be noted that the developer is very receptive to accessibility-related feedback and expressed their interest to work on it.

Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:

- Paying a fee to Google
- Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
- Providing government identification
- Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
- Listing all current and future application identifiers

Google/Samsung and Apple have a monopoly on phones. These are required for civic participation. Apple has a closed ecosystem for developers. Android does not. I as an app developer picked android years ago to support it's freedom. It is about to do a bait and switch and require me to register and pay them to use my own phone with apps I write myself. This is very scary. This must be stopped to prevent techno-lobbiest control of our government and fascist control of us the people.

Just tried to set up #CollaboraOffice on my phone. Selecting a document works fine because it uses the native #iOS files view, but once you open a document you will be greeted with this:

"Screen reader support for text content is disabled. You need to enable it both at server level and in the UI. Look for the accessibility section in coolwsd.xml for server setting. Also check the voice over toggle under the View menu."

In other words, there are probably settings which I need to change that I have absolutely no access to. Well done, champs.

If you have a spare 15 minutes, I'd encourage you to check out a fantastic interview at the end of this week's podcast I had with my son Jake (16) who's been doing his bit to keep old electronics alive.

He builds and sells PC's with old parts for people that may not need the most high-spec gaming rig on the planet, he recently purchased an iPhone 13 mini with cracked screen and dead battery and successfully replaced it on his own, he's fixed laptops for his school-friend and also me which were running hot because the fans were caked with dust and much more.

Listen to this young, articulate man express himself in ways that many of his age simply don't. You can jump to the last chapter in the video.

I must also give thanks to my daughter Alice for drawing the artwork for the episode as well.

Was going through some of the #fosdem talks and noticed one on something called #JMAP maintained by #fastmail mainly for managing/syncing contacts and calendars. Is there anything in terms of self hosting a server yet that i can then develop something that will connect to it? I see someone made a nextcloud proxy but i dont really want to spin up a massive nextcloud server just for contacts/calendar. Id like to use it for #mobilelinux so hopefully gnome/kde support it upstream at some point.

Looks like i can spin it up and use the collaboration side of it for contacts and calendaring and ignore the email side of it.

@FreakyFwoof I recently discovered an add-on called pleasant progress bar, the concept is really cool, we can tinker with and create our own progress bar sounds scheme. Ht @KaraLG84 thanks for recommending that #nvda add-on.

Yeah, quite intriguing. I tried to look at the GitHub page, but it's in a different language. You can download pretty easily through the NVDA add-on directory. I'm still playing with it, so pretty new with the add-on.

@ppatel Probably, if I have a lot of time and AI credits, I would try to clone all the incompatible NVDA add‑on and make it compatible with the most recent version, at least 2025.3.

I'm not a coder, but when I do that for NVSpeechPlayer, it just works, I just need to test again and again and provide the error logs to Claude and the LLM makes it work.

Just used Emacs' gptel-agent-mode to have gpt-5.2 as an agent, speech-enable gptel-agent-mode so Emacspeak reads out requests for tool calls and prompts, and text after all the tool calls. So I used Emacs to make Emacs better while inside Emacs.

Ooo lookie, new audio game, even for Linux!

So this game that I can't spell is about:

Draugnorak is a side-scrolling survival game. How long can you survive? Each night, waves of undead hammer your defenses, while hostile bandits, yetis, and goblins stalk the world beyond your base each day. You start with nothing and must craft the tools, weapons, and structures you need to endure. Gather resources, recruit residents to your base, and connect with the spirits of vanquished foes in custom adventures across different types of terrain. Build an altar, earn favor from the gods, receive blessings, and take on quests. Protect your residents from the dreaded vampyr, build your barricade strong, for the undead come, and they hunger.

Note, when starting the game the first thing you might want to do is craft a stone knife and collect vines and stics from the tree so you can create a stone axe.

Also Draugers are cool. Defience of the Fall reference of course.

Hmm.
Now I have to watch 3 different Push things in Nextcloud.
Unified Push, FilePush and this one?

And then the docs of nextcloud tell me that for the core push in Nextcloud I need Google Push and there is no way to diy. Then I read the docs of the Nextpush extension for unifiedpush and it is written in a way that implies it replaces all kinds of push for nextcloud.

This has nothing to do with Nextpush. It can be activated independently to push your contacts calendars and tasks to be received by DAVx5. Just install the davpush app on Nextcloud, then refresh calendars/ address books in DAvx5 and select the UnifiedPush provider you want in the DAVx5 settings at the bottom.

But I don't want to bury the lede: on-device screenreader support is a major breakthrough for blind and partially sighted users. And let's hope it starts a trend. Thanks @FreakyFwoof !!

@zl2tod @JonathanMosen It’s important to me that the original Move Anything project be credited too - I’m just one guy, but building on the backs of many amazing work before me: github.com/bobbydigitales/move…

Beyond that, the screen reader shortcut has changed, there are new modules (Vocoder! Access Virus! Rex Player!), but that’s all very dynamic. We’re having fun. :)

@charlesv @zl2tod @JonathanMosen I fixed those credits, too! (I think -- how was Move - Extended related to Move Anything?)

Think I got extra confused by your git repo being named "anything" but it makes sense if it was forked! (and the nomenclature generally makes sense!)

But also (and I’m sure @FreakyFwoof can attest) the response has been incredible. I personally “just” connected some existing things with Ableton’s already above-average screen reader support and the audio hacks I had on device, but countless folks have reached out saying it’s a “game changer” and they can “finally use the Move how it was intended”.

And while I’m still cranking out ai slop ports of synths, there’s an important conversation about how these tools can make some of the work that always gets deprioritized much more accessible (and relatively easy)! An agent doing an accessibility audit and validating string coverage is work a human employee may never get remit to do – and, at least in my conversations with deaf colleagues about transcription for instance, an 80% solution is better than a 0%. Hopefully we can get to 100%.

@charlesv Well, one unexpected development is that the machine learning-generated code, while it generates some *mistakes* humans would not, can also generate solutions that had eluded some human devs. That was Sam's experience here:

@charlesv We're speaking to a large audience of experience human coders. So I think code still deserves human review -- and we don't want to remove the incentive to share human-generated code (which is what these models trained on)!

But it works as a proof of concept, and I'm sure someone out of those experienced developers will now take a look at it.

Like I said, this is why it's important to maintain disclosure and transparency.

The AI honeymoon has majorly worn off for me. I still find Claude quite helpful, when I get stuck I still go "Hey Claude, I'm stupid and don't get why this is broken, halp?" But the past few times I've started projects, it's been with Claude. Even if, like foo_jumptime, I wrote a lot of the code, Claude did the build configuration, the RC file, etc, and the project started by me brainstorming with it. But that feels...boring now. I love having an intelligent little software engineer in my terminal that I can fire up and ask a question without having to bother anyone, but I don't like making projects this way anymore. I wanna code, to think about the code, to understand every line because I wrote it. I'm going to try a completely no AI project this weekend.

Hense why I haven't touched the stuff. If the code I'm asking it for is outside of my skillset, I can't trust it to have gotten it right. It doesn't make sense for me to learn all the ins and outs and safeguards and setup and everything to use something that I'd barely touch.

Dear friends, screen reader users, teachers and assistants.
I am trying to find out what tools can I use to create math content. I know #mathml is supported accross variety of screen readers and browsers but that seems to be only one side of the puzzle and that is reading.
How do I as a student collaborate on math content with my teacher and the other way round, how do I as a teacher create accessible math assigments for my student allowing them to complete it with a screen reader?

For this answer let's explore that both student and teacher are blind or visually disabled or teacher is sighted, student is blind. How to collaborate?

When I was in college over a decade ago, I used MathType Equation Editor to convert from Microsoft's equation objects to and from LaTeX. Hopefully there are good options now, especially since mathematics wasn't even my field back then.

@kaveinthran I often just use LaTeX. I create a Markdown file, and type math as LaTeX surrounded by dollar signs. Then I convert to Word or PDF (Word converts the math to a format blind students can read). In Microsoft Office, Word math is spoken well and displayed in Braille for both JAWS and NVDA, and to type math in Microsoft Word, there are autocorrect commands that you can use to type symbols, mostly based on LaTeX commands, or there is a mode where you can type LaTeX directly and it will convert to Word math. You can also use the JAWS Braille math editor; you type in Nemeth, and it inserts your equation into a Word document as Word math. It is a lot easier if you have a Braille display, but you can also use the QWERTY keyboard, if you type in Nemeth using reverse computer Braille. For example, the equals sign in Nemeth is dots 4-6, dots 1-3. To type this, you would type period then k, since period is dots 4-6 in computer Braille and k is dots 1-3. You could also buy a Monarch or BrailleSense 7, since their word processors support typing and reading Word math as Nemeth, although sometimes KeyWord on the Monarch is buggy and slow with math, and I haven't tested math input very much on the BrailleSense. You could also buy a BrailleNote Evolve, since it lets you type Nemeth into Word documents, if you are willing to accept the trade-offs of that device.

I am super impressed. Last night I switched my #deltachat relay server to one I found running in Japan. It was simple. I didn't have to re-invite any of my connections. Everything just worked. This ability is really a big deal and I'm surprised it is not being talked about more loudly. Not only is Delta Chat decentralized, but you can easily recover from a relay server shutting down without losing contacts. This is even better than Mastodon's migration feature.

and that multi-relay feature is still a work in progress, it is already awesome and useful for migration, but it will become even more awesome!

it will allow to not only migrate but use several relays at the same time without needing a main relay, if one goes down you keep using the rest, and receiving in all of them without losing any message at all, you will not notice any downtime!

So, funny story. My wife was complaining for the last month or so that she can't see the credit card transactions I do through Apple Wallet anymore. Happened sometime after an update or something, weird.

Later I noticed some changes to shared calendars weren't working -- they never appeared for me. Didn't think much about it really but it was odd. Computers suck, right?

So then last night I somehow lost my phone so I used my wife's phone to do the "Find My Device" feature. Except it wouldn't work, because it said her phone wasn't logged into iCloud. Super weird? So I go into the settings and pull up iCloud and there's a banner at the top about new Terms and Conditions...

I agreed to the T&C, and suddenly everything came back to life. I located my phone (fell under couch), looked at the Wallet on her phone and the transactions started streaming in, I got calendar notifications...

her reply: "I kept saying 'Ask Me Later' because I didn't want to agree to it, I thought we didn't use iCloud anymore"

well, everything on the iPhone run by Apple technically uses iCloud in some way, I just stopped using it for our photos and back those up to our self-hosted Immich server instead lol

Anyone here use a #Mikrotik router via ssh? One thing that's always bothered me is that `/log print` doesn't paginate, which seems utterly bizarre to me given that other `print` commands paginate by default. There is a `without-paging` argument for `/log print`, which seems utterly redundant given that it never paginates anyway. Aside from filtering the log by time (which is very fiddly) or topic (which doesn't always help much), is there some way to make the damned thing paginate or at least print a tolerable number of lines?

I wonder, is most of what Orca is doing with libwnck really necessary?
It seems it is using it to map absolute screen coordinates to applications under X11.
But XQueryPointer appears to return a window and relative coordinates that AT-SPI's device event controller ignores, only returning the absolute coordinates. I'm guessing not necessarily the top-level window for the application, which we would need.
But, if AT-SPI did something more useful, then we just need the pid associated with the window, which we can get through libXRes?
Of course, none of this is relevant for GNOME or KDE, but plenty of Orca users still use Mate with X11, and a couple are probably using i3 or whatever.

This is part of a refactor that currently only exists on my laptop, intended to ultimately get mouse review working on GNOME, assuming that the mutter part gets merged, which it might not for GNOME 50, and I'm not even going to propose my Orca changes for GNOME 50. I believe that touch support would build on the mutter changes intended to allow the screen reader to track the pointer, so I think it makes sense to get mouse review working first.

Anyway, for X11, I now have code that finds the window containing the mouse pointer, uses libXRes to obtain the pid of the process controlling the window, and uses the pid to find the accessible associated with the window, at least on my system. No wnck involved. Admittedly, I've only done minimal testing, and there could be cases that my code doesn't handle correctly.
