I am about to install @Arch Linux on a new laptop. This time I am attempting to look into the #secureBoot properly. Trying to boot #archBoot or manually adding #preloader into the install media fails with secure boot violation error. I understand I should enroll loader hashes into the mok list in the nvram. I can't use EFI shell, hashtool.efi, keytool.efi and similar since at that stage of the boot process there's no accessibility support and I can't handle that on my own with OCR snapshots of the laptop screen. Am I missunderstanding the secure boot concept or is that yet another thing I can't overcome no matter how much I am trying to prepare for the task? Of course windows is booting and I do have a screen reader running. But I can't find windows tools capable of manipulating EFI variables. #secureBoot #fail #Accessibility

Have been playing with Vdo.ninja, a free solution by the dev of OBS Studio which makes it possible to stream and receive multiple sources through any web-based view. In practice, it can do what Cleanfeed does, except it's not as heavily Chrome-dependent, allows for things like changing audio inputs and outputs for other people which makes it so much easier for sound technicians to tweak the setup for radio show or podcast guests, and all of the parameters can be tweaked through URL parameters so it is easy to hand out customized invitation links with everything pre-configured for each guest. The dev, I am told, cares deeply for #Accessibility and, although some suggestions could still be implemented, it is rather pleasant to work with at present. vdo.ninja/

@stirlock I am trying to report all accessibility-related findings to the dev as much as my spare time allows. So far we have got ARIA regions for all of the connected streams aka guests, Cleanfeed style. Steve reacts very fast to such reports so it's definitely worth hanging out on the project's Discord server.

The only important qualification to my summary is: either the communication runs indirectly via the Wayland compositor, or the assistive technology accesses the pipes to/from the provider directly - either is allowed, as I read it.
I would encourage anyone with Wayland expertise to review this when it's ready for review/comment.

Thanks to some excellent work by Arnold Loubriat, #AccessKit now has Python bindings. pypi.org/project/accesskit/ This will be useful for GUI toolkits where the widgets are actually implemented in Python, such as Kivy or UIs on top of Pygame, as opposed to Python wrappers over C/C++ toolkits or platform widgets. Documentation is still pretty thin, but there's a pygame-based example in the source distribution.

I am baffled when people talk about "the atmosphere" on Mastodon. Here, there is no algorithm forcing posts into your feed. The atmosphere is the one you have personally curated.

1) Scan a person's feed before you follow.

2) Turn off the boosts of anyone you otherwise like who boosts stuff you don't want to see.

3) Mute anyone you don't want to hear from at all.

4) Filter out words/phrases you don't want to see (you will have to do much less of this if you do the first three steps right).

In 2014, my children’s wonderful Mum, Amanda, who is now a teacher of blind children, approached me with a problem of great significance.

She was teaching a blind girl who had written to Santa. But the child was worried that Santa wouldn’t be able to read the letter she had written, because it was in Braille. Amanda did her best to assure the child that Santa would have no problem with Braille, but the doubts remained.

Remembering the stories I used to tell our own children when they were younger, Amanda wondered if there might be anything I could do to help.

Well, it certainly made a pleasant change from my regular writing sessions trying to figure out technology and then explain it to other people.

The result was "Louis, the Blind Christmas Elf", which I gave to Amanda in written form.

Amanda loved the story, but came back and said, "why don't you do an audio version? You'd be good at that," again remembering all the funny voices I'd use when reading to our kids.

So, back I went into the studio, to create the narrated audio version.

The reaction to this little story has been so special, and heart-warming. I've heard from so many people. Teachers, parents, grandparents and consumer leaders have all written to me telling me how much the story has meant to them. And every year at this time, I get requests for it. It has now been translated into other languages and even turned into a play.

I'm deeply touched and honoured that it has meant so much to people.
In the spirit of being proud to be blind, I offer you this festive story and wish you a merry Christmas.

The next release of the js sdk is planning to bump the supported #matrix spec version to 1.5 or 1.6. This means it and as a result also Element Web will refuse to start on current versions of #conduit and #dendrite. This is an intentional decision resulting from a discussion between several SCT members.

I think that approach is bad and it should check for a range of supported versions instead of arbitrarily bumping the minor version to make the ecosystem move, but this is a heads up, that now is the time to contribute to both of those servers, if you use them and want to use the Element Web client on them going forward. (I already had my discussion with the SCT and I won't tell other projects, what they should do.)

The maintainer of the Orca screen reader, Joanie Diggs, has made noteworthy enhancements in recent weeks. I mention them here for the benefit of those who are not following these developments or who are not regular Linux screen reader users.
Many of the improvements are performance-related, taking advantage of the cache of accessibility tree nodes maintained by the AT-SPI service. Table processing has received particular attention, and fundamental changes are underway in the code that handles users' keystrokes, some of which need to be interpreted as screen reader commands, with the remainder being passed through to the application.
I have been testing some of the changes along the way, as have other users active on the Orca mailing list. Rapid and precise bug reports continue to contribute to the development process. At this point, it is reasonable to expect these valuable improvements to appear in a release during the first half of 2024, presumably as part of GNOME 46.

RScan now on Google play! Identify products, swiftly

RScan lets you scan a barcode of any product, and automatically looks it up on DuckDuckGo and tries to select the most fitting and useful description. The scanning is really fast and convenient, meaning it's easy to work with even if you're blind and don't know the location of the barcode, but it's also great for sorting through large number of items, if you need to say search for a particular chocolate in a pile, or you order a large number of cans that you need to tell apart in order to sort them to groups. RScan can deal even with scanning multiple items of the same barcode, making this process easy and efficient.

I've been gradually developing this app over the last years, always reflecting my actual needs and actively using it in my home. I've been sharing it with my friends from Czechoslovakia, receiving great feedback. In our region, the automatic product identification works really well and RScan can truly identify 90% of items just by seeing their barcode.

Few days ago, I finally got to release it in google play, and given this opportunity, would like to expand it to more regions. My theory is that my algorithm should work comparably well in regions where products use metric system for describing themselves (300 g chocolate, 400 ml can etc.).
It's not yet prepared for UK, where the commonly used units are different, and completely unknown for me is USA, where a similar but different barcode standard is used than in Europe, plus they have different units too.

I would love to support as many countries and regions as I can. If you would like to help me with this, sending me barcode numbers of things you commonly use in your region (cans, chocolates, common drugs, drinks), along with the name of your country would be very useful, so I could check out how does your Internet describe things and make RScan adapt for it.
If you're technically skilled, you can read the project's readme:
github.com/RastislavKish/RScan
and directly look for the unit information required by RScan, this would save me the struggle with localization and location simulation.

Also, if RScan works well in your country, I would love to hear that too! My theory of compatible countries is still just a theory, it needs to get verified.

You can find RScan on Google play:
play.google.com/store/apps/det…

And, along with all the code and scanning tips in the documentation, on my GitHub:
github.com/RastislavKish/RScan

Happy scanning!

@ysotomayor That, and old devices basically never get new kernel releases, so even when Google finally caves in and does it, it probably won't work on older phones. Even new phones often have out-of-date kernels apparently, so it might take a year or two since the official Google update for any devices to actually get support.
