Aliendalvik is the primarily source of income for Jola (selling licenses for custom embedded usages), so it's quite unlikely they will open source it any time soon. Selling licenses for users of other Linux mobile projects might be a bit more realistic. 😔

amazing! While there are not as many Sailfish OS apps many of them are quite nice and it would be great for the linux mobile phone community to have access to as many apps as possible and remove the OS fragmentation- would it be easier or harder to get these apps to run in Arch or other mobile linux distributions? As far as i know there is no effort to port SFOS apps over..

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.

TalkBack 14.1 comes with image descriptions (which are actually surprisingly accurate from my limited testing), spell check while using the Braille keyboard, automatic scrolling for Braille displays (with a customizable speed), and (most surprisingly to me), new haptics! I'm not convinced I like them yet, just because text elements don't appear to have a vibration, but it actually feels like Voice Assistant or VoiceOver now!

In a matter of a couple of weeks, Android accessibility has witnessed a dramatic boost from almost 0 access to picture descriptions to a wide range of options.
1. TalkBack 14.1 can describe images. Though, IMO, not as accurately as VoiceOver, it works well, and its auto-text extraction is awesome.
2. As you know, Seeing AI is now on Android along with its AI-oriented goodies.
3. @bemyeyes Be My AI just became available on Android. It's not yet capable of receiving pictures from other apps, but guess, hopefully, it will be added soon.
4. Since we're handling Google, I don't know when, but Lookout's AI capabilities, currently limited to users in the USA, will expand to other regions.

The universe has cried and Kostyantin, the dev behind Whatsapp+ and Unigram+ NVDA addons, has delivered: Github-Release-Downloader, a NVDA addon that will happily download the latest release of any Github repo you throw at it. It's quite rudimentary at the moment i.e. we need to enter the URL manually, it can't handle multiple asset files etc. but I was just able to download some NVDA addons just fine. It's definitely a start.

@Brynify With all of that being said, I do agree this isn't screen-reader-specific, and that as many people as possible should benefit. My answer to that would be to build it as a web service: let me open a GitHub repo URL, change the domain and nothing else (e.g. "github.com" to "rlshub.com"), and give me the info I need. Build screen reader add-ons to automate that step if it doesn't feel intuitive enough. @Piciok

@Brynify Okay, I put a rough version of this together. Change "github" to "gitrls" in any GitHub repo URL, and get either the single asset for the latest release, or a list of assets if there's more than one. Some URLs to try:

* https://gitrls.com/cartertemm/AI-content-describer
* https://gitrls.com/digitalocean/doctl
* https://gitrls.com/Brynify/typing_settings

It will silently trim any unrelated parts of the URL, so you could e.g. do this and it will work: https://gitrls.com/NVDARemote/NVDARemote/issues/328 @Piciok

@Brynify A 404 for the NVDA repo is currently expected, because the installer isn't hosted on GitHub as a release asset. GitHub's web UI always offers a zip and tarball of the source code under the "assets" button, but the GH API doesn't consider those to be assets in the same way. As far as hgitrls is concerned, an NVDA release has zero assets attached.

I am just testing @Jami with a #screenreader on both linux desktop and android for #accessibility.
Initial setup is accessible on both the platforms.
Listing conversations I can't really say as I only have single contact.
Audio calling is working fine. I am impressed that the call setup took just a moment. On android controls like microphone toggle, speaker / earpiece toggle and hangup button are working fine.
I am unable to find out in call controls with the keyboard on linux.
On both desktop and android I can write messages.
On android I can read messages, find and execute additional actions in the popup menu.
On the desktop I can't read incoming and outgoing messages with a screen reader. I haven't discovered on how to copy them.

In conclusion comparing this to the tox chat the Jami is more accessible with a screen reader. Perhaps I will be able to figure out how to handle the calls with a keyboard shortcuts however the fact message text is not readable with a screen reader on desktop linux and perhaps other platforms sounds dissapointing. The idea and decentralized nature of this communication app sounds really amazing.

Exploring @Jami further I think I can post a few more observations.
The desktop app uses QT6 for the UI. Apart of some ounlabelled buttons such as Accept / Reject incoming call and some tab controls on the main window most of the UI elements are clearly labelled and accessible from the keyboard.
The desktop app has a keyboard shortcuts button on the main screen which opens a tabbed dialog with accessible lists of keyboard shortcuts. I haven't yet discovered if these can be tweaked but the default ones are working well for me. For calls it's ctrl+y for accepting and ctrl+d for rejecting / hanging up. Letter m alone can be used for muting / unmuting the microphone.
I need to find out if there is a way to create global shortcuts or do some actions using commandline switches. If either of this turned out to be possible it would perfectly integrate with the desktop.
Sending and receiving files is something I'm going to try next.

ChatGPT can reveal its training data, that includes personal information.

https://not-just-memorization.github.io/extracting-training-data-from-chatgpt.html

Here, the authors used a prompt to instruct ChatGPT to repeat a word forever, eventually resulting in different text that can be linked back to the source; examples include "company" and "poem".

No doubt this "attack" (in words of the authors) will soon be intercepted, but who knows what other formulation of prompt results in the same behaviour?

LLaVA-1.5 is an open-ish AI model which can provide image descriptions and allow follow-up interaction, akin to Be My AI. The best part is that you can run it locally on your computer if you have an appropriate GPU... or very, very slowly if you want to use your CPU. I thought it'd be cool to hook it up to #NVDASR so you can get image descriptions for the current navigator object and then ask follow-up questions. So, I wrote an NVDA add-on to do just that using llama.cpp. https://github.com/jcsteh/nvda-llamaCpp

GitHub - jcsteh/nvda-llamaCpp: NVDA add-on which allows you to use llama.cpp to obtain image descriptions and ask follow-up questions using AI models.

I tried building this on wsl, and the server is running, but I never get anything back from NVDA. My fan speeds up, I see it's processing an image and then it releases the tokens in cache. Nothing that I can see in my log viewer...

@blindndangerous If you're running it on CPU, it'll take over a minute to respond to queries. But otherwise, I'm not sure why it would be failing. Does it say anything about how many tokens are in the cache when it releases the slot?

@blindndangerous Hmm. Do you see anything in the output about encoding images?
slot 0 - encoding image [id: 10]

Size is weird, I just took something. But it happens the same if it says 1920x1080 slot 0 - image loaded [id: 10] resolution (38 x 22)
slot 0 is processing [task id: 4]
slot 0 : kv cache rm - [0, end)
slot 0 - encoding image [id: 10]

@blindndangerous The previous add-on build would have timed out after 10 seconds, though you definitely should have seen an error in the NVDA log in that case. I pushed another build which increases the timeout to 3 minutes.

Zaujímavý článok z histórie dopravy v čechách a na slovensku https://autobible.euro.cz/clanky/karosa-ci-tatra-horsky-bus-hb-500-prinesl-provozni-problemy/

Karosa či Tatra? „Horský bus“ HB 500 přinesl provozní problémy…

Byla to neradostná doba – a teď máme na mysli pouze dopravní, nikoliv politickou situaci. Poválečné období zdaleka nebylo časem „prudkého rozvoje“, jak se později psalo, a jak jsme se (my, dříve narození) museli učit.

@surveyor3 @nekohayo @sorunome GTK does not have an Android windowing system backend, so it's not possible to "port it with minor changes". On top of that, Fractal uses GNOME services, and porting to Android would mean rewriting a bunch of code to make use of the Android equivalent

@ebassi @nekohayo @sorunome rewriting and maintaining! So it looks a lot of work and not really useful since dart+flutter already covers multiplatform.

Many thanks for the detailed answer! :gnome:

On our date night last night, Shae introduced me to a new game that any* two people online can play, and it turns out to be really fun!

You go to Wikipedia, and one of you (take turns doing this) names something off the top of their head that they're pretty sure a Wikipedia page exists for. (If you're not sure, you can use the search without submitting it just to see if a page turns up.)

After you both acknowledge that you understand the target, you simultaneously (we did a 3-2-1 on the voice chat) click "Random Page".

The goal is then to see who can reach the target page first ONLY BY CLICKING INTERNAL LINKS. No external links or typing allowed. We did eventually allow the back button so you could get yourself out of dead ends, but tried to use it in only that way.

It's surprisingly fun!

(* If you use a screen reader or other access technologies, or if, like me, you read VERY slowly, you might not be very competitive if your opponent does not also.)

The "insane difficulty" variant of this is picking two random pages and trying to navigate from page A to page B, but you can click the links on both to explore. There was a site for this once that only picked pages with a sensible amount of internal links.
