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?

Also, there is arch-arm64-avf which I am going to look into.

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.

So, suffice it to say that I need recommendations. If there are #Blind #ScreenReader users out there who work with #OpenDocument Format files using your #iOS or #Android devices, I would love to know what works for you and what I should be doing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

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.

@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.
Also did I mention Emacs?

Thoughts on "You Belong in Open Source. Let Us Show You the Door.". I mean, do blind people *really* belong in open source? Do all our open issues with Linux projects, all the blog posts written about Linux not loving us back, all the Wayland issues that, thankfully, are being fixed, and so on, really show that we belong in open source? Also this is going to b about vibecoding. I mean with all the open source projects that hate vibecoding, do we *really* belong there if we're going to prompt a model to fix our issues? And this isn't about if the models *can*, because Codex has shown me over and over that they can. But these two issues, right here, have been open for a month and a half. Nothing makes me think they'll be resolved any time soon. Do *I*, then, belong in open source? These two changes have made Android not just usable, but enjoyable for me, for gaming and computing. And yet, "open source" closes the door. Y'all let's not make promises we can't keep.

@ZBennoui It's systemic by now, as much as we'd like it not to be.
We don't just need to fix open source, we need to fix the entire system, which is far easier said than done by this point, and probably not doable.
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.
But that seems to be not true because when I look at the subscriptions, only other non nextcloud things are registered in that.
Can someone explain to me what is the actual status of this stuff?

It's crazy how much this can do -- custom synths, effects, display and web streaming and sampling, and controllers.
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 oh and @charlesv too!
Any corrections / comments / follow-ups also welcome! Will keep covering this!
@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!)
Flashbacks to an ancient project by Hans-Christoph Steiner dubbed PD Anywhere (PDa) ... it had integer support to run Pure Data on iPods and vintage smart devices.
@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:
cdm.link/supersonic-supercolli…
It's the full SuperCollider synth, without the installation. You can add it to any site (self-hosted). It performs seamlessly via WebAssembly.Peter Kirn (CDM Create Digital Music)
@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.

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?

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
