Now we just need to find a way to run .bas files on the BT Speak. I'm sure something like this might be easy to implement: robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/
Supporting tinkering and general "power user" shenanigans in your software is a genuine accessibility thing tbh. I see some people complaining about Linux users who use a non-systemd init system, X11 instead of wayland, or just generally some "non-standard" configuration. The attitude seems to be that since these users are "smart enough" to stray off the sacred defaults to suit their needs better, there's no need to consider them at all because "they can figure out how to make it work".
Obviously it's not possible to satisfy every accessibility need and use case simultaneously, but it's still harmful to categorically dismiss and actively remove support for a certain group of users just because you perceive them as "gifted nerds". Someone who extensively modifies their system to make it fit their needs may be able to solve the problems you've introduced to their usage of your software on their own, but every single application that needs this extra wrangling adds work and friction to the pile. It's kind of like replacing a wheelchair ramp with stairs because "they have it better than armless amputees, they can just bring a plank of wood with them"—yeah, TECHNICALLY they can do that, but such an arrangement is only desirable if your baseline reference is "being pelted with stones".
Also, while we're on that subject, "just use the defaults" is kind of like suggesting that wheelchair users just get someone to carry them around like a sack of potatoes all day. I don't think it's acceptable to force people to give up more autonomy/control over their lives than they absolutely have to in order to get support, especially in circumstances where a better, more equitable solution could easily be found. Perhaps I'm being somewhat extreme with my comparisons, but it's more about the similar mentalities and attitudes at play, not equating the severity of the access needs.
My overall point is that the split between "software for nerds" and "software for normal people" is due to a difference in use cases and access needs, not just a superiority complex in the minds of either group. You can build software that accommodates both groups, but you have to actually listen to them and not unilaterally dismiss one as egotistical and obstinate. And you should treat choosing not to accommodate either group similarly to choosing to ignore any other access need: necessary in order for you to better serve a specific demographic, perhaps, but certainly not a decision with zero negative consequences.
You might want to read this post by @glyph questioning whether signing commits, and more generally unquestioned complexity in the name of security, is a good idea: blog.glyph.im/2024/01/unsigned…
@matt Thanks Matt! I should also stress that this is a piece you kinda need to read all the way through. A few people have come away from reading the headline with the idea that I just don't like git commit signing specifically and they should turn it off as opposed to turning it on. For some people, in some situations, it makes perfect sense and it's a fine security primitive. To quote one of the last paragraphs of the blog:
> Git commit signing itself is not particularly consequential
As Snikket is still not available on the #Google Play Store, we've published a longer blog post about the situation, how to work around it using #FDroid, and the long path of stupid Google review responses that led us here.
very minor clarification: Google had accepted the version that reinstated the contact permission. This was live for a couple of days/weeks until they suddenly changed their mind. They didn't just outright rejected the update. gultsch.social/@daniel/1120841…
Interesting that you still had contact list integration soft disabled. That confirms that Google believes contact permission == uploads data. Considering how Google makes money that kinda makes sense I guess...
Google had accepted a version of #Conversations_im with address book integration that explicitly asks the user for consent to process the contact list locally on their device before requesting contacts permission. Our privacy policy included explicit wording w.r.t. local processing of the contact list.
However it’s unthinkable for Google that someone would request contacts permission and then not upload them. A few days later they changed their mind and threatened to remove the app again. #XMPP
Ok, so the word "pistol" has a fascinating etymology.
In English it comes from French "pistole", which comes from German "pistole," which originates from Czech "pišt'ala" meaning "whistle" (like a tin whistle or flute).
But in Czech the word for "pistol" is not "pišt'ala." It is, in fact, "pistole." This is a borrow word from either French of Italian "pistole," which comes from German, which comes from Czech "pišt'ala." In effect, the Czech word for "pistol" is a borrow-word-twice-removed from Czech.

@snikket_im just started their new federated instant messaging hosting service (based on #XMPP) for everyone.
This can really be a gamechanger for instant messaging.
You can bring your own domain name if you want to.
This means: for about 5.50€ (6$) a month (according to the website) you get ten instant messaging accounts for you and your family/friends using your personal domain name (not included).
And you are able to talk to every other XMPP user out there.
I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)
This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?
I discovered a new GPS app called WaveOut recently that I am extremely impressed with. It uses directional sound similar to Soundscape, but instead of having the sound come from the direction of your destination, it creates a turn by turn route, and the sound shows you where the next point on your route is. In addition to GPS, it uses your phone's camera to better determine where you are. I tested it on a route where the directions from Google Maps are inaccurate and hard to follow, since there is a confusing roundabout crossing, places where there's only a sidewalk or grass with no street along side, and some very weird intersections, and I've been using Voice Vista, an improved version of Soundscape, and trying to choose the best path that leads me towards the sound. I was very skeptical that WaveOut would give me better directions, but it was pretty much perfect! When there was an upcoming turn, or when I got slightly off route, it played a sound leading me directly to where I should go, and otherwise it was silent. It led me a slightly different way than I'm use to, but it never gave me inaccurate or misleading directions or made me guess where to go, and it was definitely easier than trying to figure out where to go based on the beacon in Voice Vista and Google Maps directions. The sound also kept up with the direction I was facing better than Voice Vista, and it also seemed to track my location more accurately than other apps. dreamwaves.io

We're excited to announce the release of #GNOME46! This release brings many updates and improvements thanks to the hard work of #GNOME contributors. 🎉 youtu.be/r_QyRJf3rtQ
The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 46, ‘Kathmandu’. This release brings remote login with RDP, variable refresh rates (VRR), many accessibility improvements, enhanced notifications and improved Settings.
Great Release! All those constant refinements really enhance the usability even further! 😀 And thanks, especially, for moving the current file actions to the sidebar. Gnome 45s version was not visible enough, so I missed, something was still going on, several times. I absolutely love Gnome and don't regret engraving the logo on the super key of my @tuxedocomputers laptop ❤️
Vielen Dank und ich freue mich auf diese Fedora Version wo #GNOME 46 der Standard ist. Aber seien wir ehrlich. Welche der mitgelieferten Apps sind brauchbar und was fehlt? Was ist mit Card/Cal DAV Support? .
Wohooo! Congratulations, and well done to everyone involved!
Thank you devs, thank you designers, thank you translators, thank you bug reporters, thank you QA people, thank you feature suggesters, thank you money donators, thank you evangelists, thank you documenters, thank you people working tirelessly in the background with keeping up the websites and communication channels and schedules and meetings and brewing coffee and everything else that's needed for #Gnome to be all that it is!
VRR finally landed! Can't wait to not have to keep updating mutter-vrr from the AUR to enjoy games on GNOME! GNOME's VRR implementation has been way better than KDE's in my experience using the patched mutter.
..still no mouse driven, simple add a desktop App icon? till you learn this .. remain banished in the paleolithic, no deployment, till you you can demonstrate basic userland concepts . . . (without jammin' your mandatory 'efficiency' #BS work flow agenda down my neck, how the f___ do you know what I need?? You did not ask! ) .. so, its #KDE #XFCE #LXDE for me and my users.. who sometimes just ~ want~ it on the desktop.
Thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work! There's no OS that comes close to GNOME + Linux for helping me concentrate and get things done. You've created something magical that gets better and better each update.
If you had code on GitHub at any point it looks like it might be included in a large dataset called “The Stack” — If you want your code removed from this massive “ai” training data go here:
I found two of my old Github repos in there. Both were deleted last year and both were private. This is a serious breach of trust by Github and @huggingface.
Also the repos i found of mine i’m sure were private, but even if they were public at some point, for a brief time, in the past that isn’t my consent to use them for purposes beyond their intent.
--- Edit 2 -- I see this made it to HN, which is a level of attention I do not want nor appreciate....
For all those wondering about the private repo issue -- No, I am not 100% sure that these ancient repos weren't at some point public for a split second before I changed it. I do know that they were never meant for this and that one of them didn't even contain any code.
If my accidentally making a repo public for a moment just so happened to overlap with this scraping, then I guess that's possible. But it in no way invalidates the issues, and the anger that i feel about it.
Hello. I made a recording of the BT Speak. Do you wish to listen? It's here. @btspeak @dblazie It goes into upsides, downsides, the power button problem, more. Update: Here's the edited recording file, which includes info on the Micro SD slot now too, and normalizes volume a bit across it: eurpod.com/BTSpeak_demo.mp3
@technocounselor oh thanks! It was definitely on the whim, and what was crazy? I posted about the power button on the BTSpeak mailing list. After I made that recording Bryan Blazie called me to help me fix it even though he was in between flights at an airport and only had 5 minutes. Just wow. Immediate customer support. When else do you get that? Give me one company.
@technocounselor I remember the old Blazie Engineering company had virtually 24/7 tech support. Like even on weekends, if you had something wrong, you called them up and they'd either tell you how to fix or get you to send it in and find ways you could ship it to them. Absolutely zero has changed about that spirit today and that probably excited me more than it should have too about it.
@technocounselor If this thing could somehow help me learn linux, I'd be up for it. Don't know if there aare any text/audio tutorials out there etc. For example, I installed a text adventure/interactive fiction game interpreter on the Icon Braille plus through its command line. Don't remember what the name of it was or exactly how I did it but it ran great, spoke all text automatically and everything. Wonder if the pro version of the BT can do that?
@jpellis2008 @technocounselor I don't see any reason why the BT Speak couldn't assist in learning Linux. Bear in mind that Blazie Technologies doesn't itself offer Linux tutorials but there are tons of them available online. Maybe some enterprising user(s) will craft a series of "Learn Linux With Your BT Speak" tutorials.
just a bit of a worning for anyone who has the new BT speak, do not allow the linux kernel to be upgraded. my unit is now bricked and no longer boots after the system upgraded the installed packages with sudo apt update then sudo apt upgrade. I'll have to look into this one as the system had to be hard powered off and now I get no feedback after pressing the power button.
Because apparently Google can't be bothered implementing decent keyboard #accessibility for Google Calendar, I'm currently trying to throw together a Greasemonkey script which changes right arrow so that it moves to the next day when you hit the end of the current view instead of just doing nothing. You can currently press n to go to the next day, but then, it does this absurdly useless thing where it... focuses the first day in the scrolled view instead of the last, which is normally at least a week before the day that just had focus. 🤦♂️ It'd be nice if these trillion dollar companies could do things properly - this stuff just isn't that hard - but as usual, I find myself doing their jobs for them.
Would you perhaps consider making the script available for others? I’ve been dealing with this issue for a very long time and a fix would be lovely. understand if not, though.

All of the cell technologies I've encountered at the low-cost end of the market have usability downsides, so I end up buying the more expensive Piezoelectric braille displays. The most interesting technologies I'm aware of currently are those by Dot Inc., and by Tactile Engineering, both capable of supporting multi-line Braille/graphics-capable displays. A patent search will show numerous other proposals developed over the past several decades, few of which have ever become publicly available products.
The more I learn about Glidance, a system that purports to replace the cane, the more it seems to have taken all the criticisms of "smart canes" into account. It might be the first genuine high-tech navigation aid that could be beneficial, replacing the cane in most circumstances. I'm usually highly skeptical about these things because people just havent thought through the implications including ergonomics, weather conditions, etc

@vick21 @Tamasg From all I've seen, the team is taking a very thoughtful approach to the design and implementation of various features. I'd like to see them succeed. I know many blind people who will never be good with guide dogs but can use them. For variety of reasons, they will also not be good cane travelers. This product is going to be positioned in that middle spot for those people.
@fireborn It's a perfect solution for people like us. If I know that I'm going somewhere, I plan my route with Soundscape. On Occasion, I'd like to just not worry about it too much.
Did you know that a lot of #Dune 's Fremen language is just Arabic? Some examples:

The accuracy of Mozilla Location Service (MLS) has steadily declined. With no plans to restart the stumbler program or increase investments to MLS we have made the decision to retire the service.
@bagder Sounds like it's really just two or three people though, that do most of the hating.
Comment sections need to get better at this. Maybe there should be a downvote threshold that starts hiding all comments from one account? Or, sites should prevent people from commenting above a certain rate?

Semantic Digital Audio memory: A cognitive aid to boost the capabilities of your memory 1/2
Sensitive content
Hello everyone, time for another of my crazy ideas!
While attending classes of theoretical mathematics, I'm usually facing 3 problems: 1. I can't write down notes and pay attention at the same time 2. Sometimes, I don't get the context of the explained concept right away, I need few moments to think it through or even lookup additional details in my notes or on the Internet. So, I either don't do so and end up just sitting in the class being unable to understand anything, because that concept was important for later topics, or, I do the lookup asynchronously, what however means I get out of sync with the explanation and find myself in the same situation, except now I can't do much with it. 3. If the class requires active work, my mind gets submerged in the problem and can't track anything in the physical world, resulting in shattered context and missed information.
Recording classes can fix all of these issues, however for the cost of doubling the processing time for each class, since raw recordings don't hold any information about their content and need to be listened through in full to get a good-quality notes.
Semantic audio
SDAM lets you capture recordings with assigned meaning. In the simplest usage, you can just start the recording and add a mark whenever something you will want to write down later is said, when the class is over, you can just return to those labels and quickly create the notes, you can be sure you have covered everything important without the need to go through the whole thing again. At the same time, those marks can serve as reference points, if you need to return in your memory to the part of your class dealing with a particular topic, because you feel you may have missed something or just want to hear it again, you can get to the relevant part in few clicks.
Time travel
However, SDAM also offers a different operation mode. If you have headphones with active noise cancellation technology, you can use it to travel in time during the class. After activating this function, the program will work in augmented reality mode, where you can hear what's happening around you. And if you don't get something, need to research or simply mishear, there's nothing simpler than pausing the time or rewinding it back, you will get to repeat the past events without missing on anything that's happening in the meantime, because everything is being recorded for you in the background. So when you're done, you can simply continue listening to the class as it was happening while you were dealing with other things, or, even increase the speed twice or triple to get in sync again.
The program is also equipped with a built-in notepad, so you can make use of it to do your note-taking stuff, calculations and other textual operations.

Saving your memory to a file
When the class is over and you save everything, all the recorded audio, taken marks and written notes is put into a single file, which can be afterwards opened again in SDAM and act as a effective capture of your memory back from the class.
Note: this project is highly experimental. The functionality described above is already implemented, over the time, I would like to develop the program into a complex audio classes processing solution. If you find the idea inspiring and want to know more or would like to try it out, you can find the repository at: github.com/RastislavKish/sdam
Literally the only reason I was preferring wget in the past was not having to write the -O parameter. Nowadays I usually try curl first, but switch to wget if it isn't installed on the system I'm on (which does happen, as unbelievable as it sounds).
@SpaceLifeForm the sad fact is that most commonly that happens because the server or something in between has some active filtering on the user-agent or something similarly silly
@jspc @dysfun it has been pointed out to me by multiple people in the past, in all seriousness. But I've never been able to take it very seriously myself, no...
It may seem stupid but it's actually really nice when you simply need to type "wget" and don't have to move your right hand off the mouse to middle-button paste the url.
Anyway `wget` has always felt more like a user-facing command line file downloading utility where `curl` is more of a toolbox/library for crafting arbitrary HTTP requests. wget has a nicer UI, retries, partial downloading, batch downloading, recursive downloading, ...downloading.
I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
@modulux Thank you for the pointer. Yeah, I tried to use it. The problem is that it does not live-update and is not helpful when the page is dynamically modified with Javascript, for example. Anyway, we found a hotfix in the meantime.
Update on Newton, the Wayland-native accessibility stack I'm developing for GNOME and (eventually) other desktops: I have an end-to-end prototype, using a Wayland protocol extension for the connection between applications/toolkits and the compositor, and D-Bus for the AT-to-compositor interface. I have an experimental branch of Orca with basic focus announcement and mouse review working. 1/?
Instructions for setting up and trying the prototype are available in the README in that Orca branch: gitlab.gnome.org/mwcampbell/or… Note: To get this working, you have to install both Mutter and the wayland-protocols package from experimental Git branches. But if anyone wants to try out what I've been working on, the pieces are all there. Next step: implementation in GTK; the current test setup uses a sample app from the Rust-based egui toolkit. 2/2
I should also explain why getting mouse review working in this prototype is significant. In upstream Orca, using AT-SPI, mouse review doesn't work on Wayland, because there isn't currently a way to find the window and the associated AT-SPI accessibility tree under the mouse pointer, or even to be notified about mouse movement across the whole desktop. Orca currently depends on X11-specific solutions for these problems.
One other note about the Newton prototype: I've validated that it works with the application running in a tightly restricted sandbox that allows access to the Wayland socket but not any D-Bus instance. Note: there's no support for running assistive technologies (e.g. Orca) in a sandbox; in my opinion, it's debatable whether it even makes sense to do that.
And I have to admit that while I was reluctant to switch to D-Bus for the AT-to-compositor interface, switching away from a Wayland protocol extension for that purpose does make the sandboxing more foolproof and easier to verify.
sweet seeing some progress here!! dumb question, is it tied to any toolkit or some internal mutter stuff? can it be eventually used on a wlroots compositor or kwin without pulling half of gnome? /genq
@halva While the only compositor implementation so far is in Mutter, I certainly want it to be as straightforward as possible to implement in other compositors. While the interface between assistive technologies and the compositor is now D-Bus-based, as preferred by the Mutter/GNOME Shell team, I anticipate that somebody could design a Wayland protocol extension for that instead, and then write a separate daemon to expose the D-Bus interface.
@halva I think you should probably get agreement with the KWin and Plasma folks before settling on that D-Bus interface. Once the interface is locked in, it's going to be very hard to fix later.
@Conan_Kudo I wonder if it would make sense to use a portal for that interface, even though assistive technologies like Orca are not currently sandboxed, and it arguably doesn't make sense to try to sandbox them.
Portals are bad because there's no pre-authorization support (such that the distro or admin can pre-grant it instead of the user approving it individually) in xdg-desktop-portal. As long as that continues to not be a thing, portals are wildly inappropriate.
@Conan_Kudo Would one use portals for ATs, a way to ensure it can be preconfigured by a distribution is indeed a must, and a perfectly reasonable thing to add to the portals ecosystem, not only for ATs. It's not a reason to not use portals though.
@jadahl For now, it absolutely is. So far, there's been zero appetite to fix it for all the other use-cases. At this point, I don't see it getting fixed for AT either.
@Conan_Kudo The context is allowing ATs to run in sandboxes, and to pre-authorize a theoretical portal or whatever other way for handling IPC does not exist anywhere at all. And implying there "is no appetite" to fix it in portals is also a mischaracterization of why there currently doesn't exist a solution for other portals.
@jadahl We've had a need for it ever since the Remote Desktop portal was introduced. We also have requests for it for the Input Capture portal. We even have requests for it for the Screenshot and Screencast portals! It's not theoretical, these requests go back *years*.
And frankly, every single portal should be capable of pre-authorization. It should be in the xdg-desktop-portal frontend interface itself. Instead, the backends have to hack together crappy workarounds to do it themselves.
@jadahl Don't get me wrong, the portal infrastructure is useful, but it has big gaping holes in the design and interaction model because people keep thinking of it as a Flatpak-oriented system.
We need to stop thinking of it that way because it *isn't* that anymore. It's used for system software all over the place. It's *required* for Wayland environments now.
It needs to be treated as the user interaction hot path it is.
@jadahl And specifically in the Newton AT case, mandating portals basically makes it impossible for wlroots-based Wayland environments to use it, because xdg-desktop-portal-wlr will *never* implement it.
@jadahl xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a policy of only implementing portals to bridge to Wayland protocols. This is because the wlroots developers do not like having D-Bus as a mandatory dependency. Every portal must be connected to a Wayland protocol.
The only portals implemented are screenshot and screencast, and only partially at that (you cannot select individual windows because the Wayland protocol wlroots uses for this does not support it).
Currently there is a portal for registering global shortcuts in the works for xdg-desktop-portal v1.16. I've just created this issue here to: Gather opinions on how this might want to be implemente...
@Conan_Kudo @jadahl Well then, maybe I could resurrect the a11y-consumer Wayland protocol extension, get it approved by a plurality of Wayland compositors (presumably excluding Mutter), and then it would be supported by xdg-portal-wlr. I might have to do that work on the side though.
@Conan_Kudo Or, if the consensus is that it doesn't really make sense to sandbox ATs, then as an alternative to doing a portal, then my newton_consumer client library could directly support both D-Bus and Wayland protocols. As long as that project remains under my control; since the GNOME Foundation is paying for my work on it (so far), I don't know if I'll end up having to get approval from others for additions to that package.
@halva And it's certainly not tied to any toolkit. The current demo uses egui, only because that was a toolkit that already supported AccessKit, and Newton builds on the work I've done in AccessKit (without requiring Rust in the compositor!). For the integration in GTK, the plan is to use AccessKit via its C API. Maybe somebody will implement Newton in a toolkit without using Rust at all, once we stabilize the serialization format.
If you need a blind accessible smart scale in the EU, Lidl's Silver Crest SBF75 body analyser is a pretty good choice for 18 euros. The only inaccessible bit is when it asks for a 6 digit code during bluetooth pairing.
Everything else works beautifully, the Health for You app is completely accessible via VoiceOver (not sure about Android), including the measurements history, weight, water intakes, calories data, etc.
The scale also supports up to 8 people based on a reference measurement during your profile setup, which can be done on the phone through the app as well. All in all, this is a fantastic experience compared to a lot of other, way more expensive bluetooth smart scales. #a11y #blind
now that would be awesome if there was something like that here in the US. if there is, I haven't heard about it. I would love an accessible scail that would work with android, or the IPhone, or both and be accessible.
I am sure there is, it's just a matter of experimenting which is unfortunately not a good idea for your wallet.
Given that Lidl used to have talking bathroom and food scales, blood pressure monitors, I figured I'd give this a try because their brand is surprisingly reliable for an affordable price and luckily it worked out beautifully. I've heard Xiaomi's scales also work, though their app is not as good.

Nastavil jsem proměnnou MOZ_DRM_DEVICE=/dev/dri/card0 a tím (jestli to dobře chápu) donutil Firefox použít integrovanou grafiku na hw akceleraci.
Btw nikdy jsem si neuvědomil kolik webů má někde nějaký webgl efekt. Z mého pohledu prostě najednou spadl web na běžné stránce nebo doplňku. Například když jsem se pokusil Graze doplněk propojit s Mastodonem. Až teď jsem zjistil, že po propojení vyhodí webgl renderované konfety a to způsobilo pád. 🎊
Jo a ještě musím kouknout jestli nemám něco blbě nastavený v systému, protože mi přijde divný, že Firefox videa v pohodě přehrával přes integrovanou grafiku, ale na webgl zkoušel použít nvidii.
Jo a ještě mě zlobí, že Firefox občas bliká když okno ztratí focus. Mám pocit že mi to dělaly některý apky na XWaylandu, ale zdá se že Firefox jede přímo na Waylandu. 🤷
Technicky dobrý. Co uživatel? Umí se synchronizovat včetně nastavení mezi zařízeními? Chrome nebo Edge, přihlásím se a vše se nahraje. Ve FF to bylo složité jak hovado, proto se ptám. Jinak Samsung v mobilu je velmi slušný. Za mě lepší než Chrome.
Tohle si myslím, že mají pěkně vychytané. Stačí se přihlásit a během chvilky má člověk data sesynchronizovaná. Dokonce člověk nemusí ani vyplňovat přihlašovací údaje, stačí naskenovat QR kód, který mu to zobrazí. Ani jsem to nezmiňoval, protože to dnes považuju za standard, který má i konkurence, ale ve Firefoxu to teď IMHO funguje fakt pěkně.
