"Access to a free, fast & efficient screen reader has changed my life. Because of its qualities, my computer never crashes; updates are frequent & the software works well. It follows best the evolution of Windows and all software. Updating is fast & easy, it is available in all languages. The provision of add-ons makes it really efficient” – Silvie, France

It’s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described. It was an incredible opportunity to share with a wider audience the importance of NVDA & our overarching message, that everyone deserves equal access to technology.
You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sAI&t=1s

NVDA has been truly life-changing for so many people.
I think the documentary was well put together and I've learnt a thing or 2.

Not much to say about #AMD outside of that huge gap up after #NVDA earnings. Wow. 📈
Options data is likely going to be messy on AMD today and tomorrow as people take profits and contracts get assigned.
Dark pool sentiment for #AMD is still positive and the biggest dark pool level for the moment is $107.46 (by a lot).
Some bearish dark pool trades came through last night for AMD and NVDA, so exercise caution playing here at the top. Many traders will want to take profits, some will get greedy, and AI is uncharted territory.
The market will likely pick winners in the AI race and will likely pick them violently. Just don't find yourself without a chair when the music stops.
Not financial advice. Do your homework.
Nimer first began using NVDA for schoolwork over 15 years ago, and now utilises it in his workplace at Google.
“NVDA’s a really powerful tool for me that I rely on all the time” – Nimer
Thank you Nimer for sharing with us how NVDA continues to play a significant role in your life!

And TFW Friendica leaves in the hashtag from that debugging effort even though it isn't actually in the post. Jeez, glad I wasn't writing about #MyDeepestDarkestSecret.
In related news, https://silverbullet.md is a neat notetaking app, but its desktop app glitches #NVDA. I'll file an issue on that soon.

So apparently, even as #MathML support is improving at the browser level, in order to get #NVDA to _read_ math, you need to install #MathPlayer -- which is fine in and of itself, but it really bothers me that the MathPlayer webpage (https://info.wiris.com/mathplayer-info) says both "Accessibility for web environments using MathPlayer is limited to obsolete browsers such as Internet Explorer 8" and (in bold) "We are not actively developing MathPlayer."
It seems really odd for such a necessary tool to have such prominent warnings (but then, of course, there's an #XKCD for everything: https://xkcd.com/2347/). And nearly every instructional page I found while looking for information on MathPlayer references using it in Internet Explorer, which is now officially dead (and is actually being remotely disabled on people's machines, which seems rather draconian).
On the bright side, once MathPlayer is installed, NVDA seems to be able to read (properly MathML coded) math just fine, even in Chrome, which the MathJax documentation says doesn't work; probably due to recent MathML support improvements in Chrome.
Accessibility in general I'm really enjoying learning more about. STEM accessibility is giving me headaches.
