Actually, even if you don’t care about #UnifiedPush, having this minimal #Prosody server that just accepts messages via a simple REST API and sends them out via #XMPP is great alternative to the various sendxmpp scripts out there.

Sending Jabber/XMPP messages via HTTP

The goal of this tutorial is to set up a simple REST API that allows you to send XMPP messages to an existing XMPP account. This can be easily integrated into monitoring solutions or other scripts that send out status information.

Pushed #nvdaComposer 1.5.1 to fix an error with exporting very large.rng compositions such as the fantastic one done by @batworx which is now in the demos folder accessed with CTRL+Shift+O. You must check out his version of 'Bouncing Round The Classroom' which I wrote many years ago.
Update 1.6.0:
• Added F8 to cycle the live playback engine while in the composer window.
• Playback modes now cycle through NVDA tones, smooth local audio, and Nokia-style local audio.
• The selected playback engine is stored persistently in NVDA’s configuration, so your last choice is remembered.
Playback engine toggle: Press F8 in the composer window to switch between the three live playback modes. The default remains NVDA tones.
This allows you to hear what your composition should sound like with the two export options before you do so.

There is a little discrepancy with the #Foobar2000 mobile v2.26 beta that it display url encoded file names when browsing webdav shares that are not indexed into its media library. I am using it like this when playing my audio books / audio drama. If you are using Foobar 2000 mobile on android for playing media from webdav remotes, perhaps you can support my wish so this will be looked into at some point.

As I have learned: all the time, the problem was to find an implementation different platform clients can deal with due to lack of standardization. Hence the web front-end was lacking it to avoid the expectation it will work with all other clients that had their own ideas about how to handle repeating tasks.

It's like word. You put headings (yes, with shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+2 for heading level 2), you change fonts either with keyboard (Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic) or with context menu. Lists are made automagically, if you start a line with an asterisk and a space (* ), you get bullets. I usually don't need anything more sophisticated in emails.

I see a lot of posts on my feed expressing various ethical and pragmatic concerns about AI. And I see quite a few posts from other disabled people along the lines of "stop telling us not to use AI when it's helping me fix accessibility issues that you've never done anything to fix."

I worry about the ecological effects of AI's need for resources in the aggregate, but a few disabled people making use of it isn't going to make a meaningful difference, and I get the argument that we need all the help we can get. So I am not going to tell someone else whether to use it or not.

Whether it is helpful is a more complicated and nuanced question, and I think that it will depend on the context.

I've been avoiding it mostly for reasons specific to me--I just vaguely feel like I don't know how, and it normally wouldn't occur to me to use it. I feel like I wouldn't know what to give it for a prompt. So, admittedly, I'm not the best person to be giving opinions.

I wrote about it at the time, but, a few months ago, someone gave me an AI-assisted patch for a bug in my module. At first I was impressed, and I still am to some extent, but the patch was later found to have problems, and the person came back with a revised patch. That, too, caused problems. I eventually removed all of the complicated code that the AI added and solved the bug with just a few lines of code. To be fair, the AI patch helped me to figure out how to think about the problem. So that was my first impression.

@matt Your point about the LLM's code helping you to think about the bug in a different way is a lot of how I use these tools. If they generate code for me, it's code I review, and it's used as a time-saver or to avoid tedium. Mostly, though I "discuss" object-oriented concepts, or have them generate code I use as a way to reconsider my approach. Then I go write the actual code myself.

When Meta and Be My Eyes collaborated to bring Be My Eyes to Meta glasses, we said to Meta that it was an excellent initiative, but we urged Meta to go a big step further and create a software development kit that would allow a range of blindness products to use the glasses as a platform.
We were delighted when they did so. Now, I am testing some early but promising implementations that add a lot of value to these devices. So much so that I made a personal purchase the other day and replaced my first generation Ray-Ban Metas with the Oakley Vanguard. I bought these for two reasons. First, they have the programmable action button which is very handy. Second, they are the loudest model of all of them, which is important to me as someone who wears hearing aids.
I’m not regretting the purchase at all. Using some of these test products today, I can see these glasses are going to become increasingly useful.
When we’re traveling, many blind people find ourselves running out of hands, in that by the time we use one hand for a phone and another to hold our cane or dog harness, it’s a real logistical challenge. Having a variety of tools that will be accessible hands-free is very welcome.
I suspect some of these companies will have plenty to say at CSUN.

@Brailly615 It’s absolutely right for us as consumers to be vigillent, and hopefully regulators will take action where they have found privacy breaches. However, this actually strengthns my point. If we can use alternative apps for blindness-specific use cases, then it won’t be necessary to use Meta AI if a user doesn’t wish to. They can use alternatives like Aira, Seeing AI, and others who are working on it but haven’t announced.

This blog post recently crossed my timeline. blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2026/0… It talks about burnout among FOSS maintainers, which is an important subject.

It saddens me, though, that the author called out Rust alongside generative AI as a contributor to their own burnout as a distro maintainer, going back to the Python cryptography package's adoption of Rust in 2021. Is there anything that we who use and promote Rust can do about this, or is Rust just too at odds with the norms of Linux distros?

Money isn’t going to solve the burnout problem

I doubt there are universal norms of Linux distros. But many of them value shared libraries as a means to fix security issues system-wide, without having to recompile all client code. At the distro level, recompiling (plus running tests etc.) takes a lot of resources, and maintainer time. For these distros, vendoring dependencies is a major problem.
in reply to Konrad Hinsen
mastodon - Link to source

Konrad Hinsen

Some distros also value long-time stability, and try to support old devices for as long as possible. This is something that the Rust community could address at the compiler level, but unless it shares the same concerns, this is unlikely to happen.

This value conflict is exacerbated by (a part of?) the Rust community aggressively wanting to re-write everything, even in the absence of issues. The coreutils debate is a good example.

Just played around a little with ish (it's a Linux emulator for the IPhone).
For the moment, I wanted to be able to use the screen reader of my choice, even if I'm doing it remotely from another computer. So I successfully got a ssh server set up, following the instructions here: medium.com/@der.loste.kitkat/g…

My ssh connection goes away as soon as my phone locks. I haven't tried the workarounds described in that post for running things in the background; maybe that would have helped.

I wanted to see if sound was emulated. So I got amixer installed, but it didn't appear to detect any sound cards. So I'm guessing not.

So I would have to use VoiceOver I guess.

And, with VoiceOver, when I type a key, I get a lag of approximately a second before the key is echoed. (And it is not because I'm using a bluetooth keyboard--that might be a small part of it, but I don't get nearly as much lag if I'm, say, typing in the messages app).

So I don't really see myself using it, but trying it out has been interesting.

Hi everyone, I have something slightly different to share, it's part of a project I've been working on during my downtime, because I guess this is rest for me or something haha. I've created a reaper project (can easily be made into just an effects chain) which first upmixes stereo audio into 7.1.4 surround sound before then downmixing it back to stereo, but doing so in such a way were all 12 of the surround sound speakers are positioned using HRTF! In other words, it causes standard stereo music to sound like it's playing all around you in 3d, quite a fun listening experience! a lot of time, pacients, multiple pairs of headphones, hundreds of tracks tested and uncountable minor parameter adjustments went into making sure that there are as few hrtf or other artifacts in the output audio as I could achieve given my experience level and ears. I used a much younger and more simple version of this effects chain for the New years Any Audio streams, and an older but similar concept in my Starwar audio production. This chain combined with a virtual audio cable or app2clap allows you to binauralize audio from any windows application, it was pretty fun listening to a 3d internet radio station today! I made it for my audio productions, but discovered that it's also great for entertainment. If you're a curious audio nerd who owns a copy of Reaper and have a few extra minutes to install a couple plugins, feel free to check this out if you're interested, feedback is welcome/appreciated and I hope you enjoy! samtupy.com/music3d.zip

@tuxflo @RiderPestilence There's this significantly more accessible web tool - config.qmk.fm/ - but you'll have to ensure that the Keychron keyboard you purchase is in the list of supported models, or contact the dev inquiring about the model in question. I.E. The Keychron Q8 has listings, but I'm not sure if the newly released Q8 Ultra8K is covered by that listing alone, and buying off a non-guarantee could be risky.

@jackf723 @tuxflo Without flashing the firmware you can also use via to change the keymap by editing the layout JSON, and you can probably turn the RGB off by setting it to solid color and then black. Or solid color and hammer the brightness down keystroke. I got mine to stay that way but I have some light perception.

This could be another option. I guess that's the risk I take considering brand new products. But still, if it comes to that, I think I could manage to flash firmware after I modify it to make sure no power goes to the lights if there's no other way. I've done harder things, I think.

Our response was, as it is in most cases to help educate people who use it and the OS ecommended by microG themselves since they have deeper microG integration than what's available in official LineageOS. It's an official part of the microG project and it reveals a lot about their overall approach to privacy and security in the project.

We are often asked why we don't implement it instead of sandboxed Play Services and this just goes to further reinforce that position.

I've thought for a while that it'd be useful to have a dead simple Markdown renderer that allowed you to see the result and easily copy the rendered output to the clipboard. There are quite a few such tools already, but copying the rendered output generally involves selecting the output yourself first, which is tedious. Finally, catalysed by disabled.social/@kaveinthran/1…, I threw something horribly quick and ugly together. The workflow: type Markdown in text box, press alt+shift+r to render and see the output, press alt+shift+c to copy to clipboard, press alt+shift+s to return to editing the Markdown if you like, etc. If you're using something other than Firefox, it might be alt+r, etc. instead. This tool really sucks and I don't care, but I'm just posting it here in case others might find it useful. files.jantrid.net/mdr/

@nicoco J'avoue j'ai enchainé les 2 de manière très rapproché 😞 mais je voulais délivrer la feature du nouveau contributeur rapidement. Maintenant, on va calmer le rythme un peu...il reste des grosses features.

This looks really interesting. How hard would it be to have it work in the reverse direction, Orca as the machine being controlled by an NVDA instance? I'd imagine this isn't possible. I've been looking for a good way of getting low-latency audio access to speech in my Linux VMs on Proxmox.
