I've started looking into the issue reported by @dhamlinmusic in dragonscave.space/@dhamlinmusi…

If you use Pachli with #accessibility services like #Talkback enabled, what would be the most useful thing to read out when reading a post with a quote?

A few options I'm considering, but could well be wrong.

in reply to Pachli

1. Read out the post's content first, then read out something like "They quoted a post from X at Y". You would have to open the quoted post for its content.

2. Like 1, but read out the quoted post's content too.

3. Read out the quoted post's content first, then read out the content of the post that quoted it.

4. Something else?

I self-host a lot of stuff. Nearly everything that I use. FOSS and self-hosting is a massive part of my computing experience.

I love reading about people enjoying / exploring self-hosting stuff.

I struggle when people advocate "just self-host it", without giving due consideration to the costs, risks, security considerations, and so on.

I know that I've posted this a few times now, but this discussion seems to pop up quite a lot. So:

I’m proud to present the second add-on in my four-part NVDA add-on series.
Links Management is an opt-in NVDA add-on that improves Browse Mode navigation when Screen Layout is turned off. When enabled, each link behaves as a separate line for Up and Down arrow navigation. Trailing punctuation is intelligently attached to the link line to prevent blank or punctuation-only lines. Inspired by JAWS, this add-on focuses on clarity, predictability, and navigation control.
A dedicated settings panel is available at NVDA menu → Preferences → Settings → Links management.

@Jonathan Nice article. I had very similar experience a few months ago. My only difference is that I'm running this on Pixel 9A.

In order to give some more tips on what to explore next I'd say add @Izzy repo to your f-droid install from apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

Then some nice and accessible #opensource apps are:
@AntennaPod
#auroraStore as a google play alternative,
#catima - a privacy respecting app for lojalty cards,
@DAVx⁵ 🔄 - contacts / calendar sync from your own server if you wish to slowly stop using google for that,
#fairEmail - nice very accessible email client,
#makeacopy - for scanning paper documents,
#newpipe - for playing youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud content,
#openKeichain - for signing / encrypting your emails with fairEmail,
#rsaf - for connecting to various cloud storage services including your own smb / ftp / webdav servers,
sms import export,
Speak that! if the talkback notification presentation is not enough,
walkers guide - nice navigation app
Ytdlnis - an yt-dlp frontent.

Perhaps there are more but I have browsed my apps list and recommended what I think is essential.

@pvagner @AntennaPod @davx5app we also have some nice client apps for F-Droid repos, which include download stats and show you which apps are (re)built reproducibly by our builders, see the screenshots at izzyondroid.org/ (and head over to izzyondroid.org/quickstart/ for details on them) And if you want to check our download stats with your browser first, head over here: dlstats.izzyondroid.org/ :awesome:
in reply to Peter Vágner

@pvagner Yup, I knew a few of them but not all. A great list for sure. Please correct me if this has already been done, but I was thinking about making an english awesome android accessibility list about good and accessible android apps, similar how @radiorobbe has done it in german, great resource btw. No idea if that already exists, but it seems much more logical to me than having to dig through random accessible android articles which, imo aren't very logical sorted, and neither is the site very responsive at this point.
in reply to Peter Vágner

@pvagner Thanks, but that's far too much of an honour. 🙂 I only manage a small German-language Telegram group with around 20 members, and the app list on GitHub and an associated website at droidblind.de. There's also a German mailing list hosted at BLINDzeln project, but I'm just an ordinary member there.

@kaveinthran Reaper. It's the only thing that seems relatively foolproof.
There's another program called Lossless Cut, but because its aim is primarily to losslessly edit files, it can be hard to make seamless edits to videos without making the video drift out of sync--which is not something we can easily verify.
Reaper imports video files, and as long as your edits are removing parts of that video track, the video will match the audio. You can completely replace the audio track by turning the video track's volume down to nothing. (I don't know if muting also works; it might. Not something I could be bothered testing.)

I’m excited to announce the first public release of Terminal Access for NVDA: an add-on focused on improving the NVDA experience when working in terminal/console applications. Inspired by TDSR and Speakup, there's quite a bit of functionality here. I welcome contributions. Issues and PRs welcome. Lots of testing needed.

@cary5871 @serrebi If you can provide more details, I'll try to get it fixed. Please file a report with info like what os, what version of NVDA, which terminal, what you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what's actually happening. As I said in my announcement, I'll try to get it fixed.

@lerven Hi, I built a lot of NVDA’s modern terminal and console support. I’m curious, do you use NVDA yourself and have you switched to it recently? Your add-on implements a lot of things (flat review, formatted text, indentation) that NVDA already supports, though admittedly the NVDA-idiomatic way isn’t the most intuitive to figure out.

in reply to Bill Dengler

@bill I've done it this way because of profiles. I realize that there's cross-over. I hope that the profiles I've built look at what runs inside the terminal and apply settings. I don't think NVDA's profiles work that way. If there's a better way, I'm happy to remove the extra settings. @lerven @NVAccess
in reply to Pratik Patel

@lerven @NVAccess Yeah… the lag (especially in heavy text update scenarios) is a really hard problem to solve. It’s also at least partially a XAML bug github.com/microsoft/terminal/…

@Tutanota I just recently tried the Tuta app on the web, Mac, and iPhone again, and am very pleased with the accessibility of the app nowadays. When I first tried it, several years back, it was quite not usable for me as a blind user. I'm happy to say that this has changed dramatically for the better. There are still some issues of course, but this is nowhere near as unusable as it was when I last tested it. Cudos to the team!

Dear !Friendica Support

I have just patched my friendica instance to exclude replies when returning home timeline to mastodon API clients and after looking at the time line in #tuba and @Tusky I am wondering why the default is to include replies?

Are there some references to older discussions on this topic?

It's just simple value change and mastodon, pleroma, gotosocial are excluding replies. Even status net / GNU social was doing it at the time.

I've just spent far too long writing the beginnings of a ridiculous music game for web browsers. You use either a MIDI keyboard or the computer keyboard (a s d f g h j k). The game plays a bar of random notes and you have to play it back, correct notes and correct timing. As you level up, the patterns get more rhythmically complicated. If you make 5 mistakes, game over; you have to start again. Still probably a lot more to do to make this more interesting, but I'm curious as to whether anyone finds this remotely worthwhile.
One challenge right now is how to calibrate if you don't have absolute pitch. I feel like I might need to add some sort of screen where it plays you a few notes until you find the right ones or something. For now, note that it's in A minor, A3 to A4.

Playing with my Move and I'm missing something obvious. I've watched Andre's intro video but there's a bit of a gap between what he's doing and what I am.

I'm doing a kind of boring looping thing just to get familiar. I have a simple bass loop I want to play throughout the entire track. There's also a drony synth riff I want to loop, but it starts 4 bars in. And I want to lay all these down in maybe something like a 32-bar arrangement so the bass, synth lead, and drum loop are all playing by bar 12 or so when a vocal lead is added--basically a gradual stack, and then the drums/synth/bass are unstacked at the end so the song starts/ends with the solo bass, if that makes sense.

How do I do this? My initial thought was note mode and just lay everything out on one timeline, but it isn't clear to me how to start track 2 bass looping at 1, track 4 synth looping at bar 5, etc. I tried to start playing my synth loop at bar 5 by using the arrows to start at 5 but that just seemed to loop *everything, as if what I did was start at bar 1 even though the thing clearly said "bar 5" and that's where I hit record.

Maybe what I should be doing is structuring these as clips, and I've sort of done that. I now have my bass and synth parts mapped to the second and fourth leftmost pads, but it's not clear to me how to actually structure those into a song so the first clip plays for 4 bars and keeps looping, then the synth clip starts on cue. I thought maybe I'm supposed to record in session mode and trigger clips, but that doesn't seem possible.

Reading the manual, it's a great overview of each slice of functionality but nothing seems to tie everything together. What am I missing? Andre builds everything as a single loop, and that's a great intro but I'm aiming for something that feels just a bit more complex and for me there's an understanding gap.

#movuary 14 Strawberry Heart Cake. Enjoy. I sure did. And yes, before you ask, this was inspired by Crumbl. 😊

#movuary 16 Unleash the Beast! Watch your ears. There's no propper amp sims on here, so I did the best I could with Redux. Kinda not a fan of this one, to be honest.

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.

If you buy from Audible, make sure you download and get rid of the Audible DRM on your purchased audio files. A strange bug has been happening to me. I purchased audiobooks with cash, and these are favorite authors, so I knew I wanted to buy them. I never returned them. But today, Audible is acting as if I never bought them. I can't play them in my library but I can buy them again. #Audible #DRM #Audiobook #Audiobooks

tl;dr don't "undownload" your audiobooks.

I have been peppering Audible for more than a year regarding purchased books no longer available from the app. I have used audible for many years and hiccups and bugs.
I Highly recommend open audio to preserve your books and convert them to m4b style to maintain your own library.
I'm interested in talking to more owners of disappearing purchases and open audible users.

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.

#movuary 18 Crunch! Now this one was fun to make! My partner was eating Snap'd Cheez-its, and I had just started a new set. So I had the idea to sample her crunching one. Then I just had fun playing with the loop mode on the sampler. Enjoy.

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.
