What's with this weird trend of writing #AI as "AL" in things like alt texts on here now? Is this some kind of cute way to avoid AI knowing you're talking about AI or something? Have we truly dropped down to that level now?

Anyone who owns a #mantis Q40 #braille display noticing that thumb and routing keys are no longer passed onto #NVDA after the v2.4 update? Lot of cool stuff, but something seems to have gone screwy #screenReader #blind #humanware

Here's a question ... has "narrowing the confinement beam" or performing "evasive maneuvers" ever actually led to a net positive outcome? :) #starTrek

Not entirely sure about this but I keep seeing this rhetoric going around that users don't have to worry about what instance they sign up for because it's all federated... is that true though? If you happen to sign up for an instance that's on block lists wouldn't that mean your stuff doesn't really reach outside of that bubble? And how would you know that as a new user who has no idea about how any of this works? Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this works #fedi

I think a great case and point example of this is that I feel the need to write this follow-up. Yes. I realize my privilege is showing by posting this. Yes, I realize that even though I am #disabled, I'm also white, male and from a generally affluent country and therefore probably have a lot fewer reasons to be unhappy/angry/tired/out of spoons. I get all that. And I'm absolutely not trying to police anyone's tone or content, I'm expressing a viewpoint that people may or may not share, I'm putting that out there for others to interact with, and I'm not all that interested in being proven wrong/being set straight/being taught that my viewpoint is bad. It's my viewpoint, it gets to exist, if you don't like it, you don't have to agree with it, heck block or unfollow if you want, I just happen to believe there might be some truth to WHY this is why people don't actually feel all that welcome here at times. I could imagine why in any case

I get it. People are angry about politics, billionaires fucking up the world, institutional racism/ablism/what have you, but I think that point has been made loud and clear and, dare I say it? Yes I do. If we keep on like this, the only difference between some convos here and on X is the topics of conversation. Instead of women's rights being derited, it's people using Windows, anyone who even dares to mention AI in a good light gets firmly put in their place and instead of teaching about alt text we jump down people's throats for not just knowing about it already. Dunno about anybody else but I wouldn't call that "social". I call that elitist bullshit that needs to stop. If we want to be welcoming to new people, that means being welcoming to these people's viewpoints, and that means we're not always going to agree with everyone and that's OK. Maybe I'm just in the wrong circles, but I keep seeing gatekeepers wondering why we're not seeing mroe new people and it honestly makes me laugh

Here's an idea for those #fedi evangelists that want more people to show up: maybe don't hate on them for being where they are now?

I see so much nastiness being flung about on my timeline about #blueSky being run by billionaire bastards/dicks/every insult in the book, that they support fascism, that they are turning a good product bad. You realize that for most people they just want a place to share cat pics and keep track of book releases, right? Like... do I need to explain that for the majority a social media is just a social media, nd they couldn't care less WHO runs it as long as the people they care about are on it? Sure, ideology is important but good god, looking from the outside in the fediverse really looks like a bunch of salty geeks arguing over semantics sometimes and that's a shame because it CAN be great. Maybe just a little more happy and a little less judgy. Can we do that?

Anyone aware of any significant limitations to #android #tv with a #screenReader? I currently have a tv based on FireTV but those are really few and far between in Europe, so lookingat eventual altrenatives in the #google TV space. Used to Talkback as I have an #android phone, just not sure if any significant apps are inaccessible?

A great exampple of why #aria labels may not always bee what you want. I see so many articles/pages/what have you on the web right now that still say "Share on Twitter". Visually it's just the X logo now, but the aria label never got updated. You should probably not be sharing anything into that cesspool anymore at this point, but I'l take the easy example of why invisible labeling = not great at times :) #accessibility

Is there some kind of trick to restarting NVDA programmatically? If I try to just task schedule or python subprocess c:\program files (x86)\nvda\nvda.exe I get "Requires elevation" errors even when running as privileged user. How does this work? @NVAccess #nvda

Current status: Setting up a bunch of scheduled tasks on my machines while i'm away so I don't lose the remote links. Restart screenreader every hour, restart entire machine every day ... one thing I'm not sure how to do is to force a reboot if the system goes down somehow...

Gekke vraag wellicht maar heeft dit kabinet UBERHAUPT eigenlijk al iets goeds gedaan? Voor wie dan ook, bedoel ik?

Een groot deel van boeren moeten de BBB niet meer, het asielverhaal wordt rondweg incapabel behandelt, klimaatsbeleid is een bende, iets? Wat dan ook?

Has anyone actually tried sharing their view from the #rayBan glasses on a WhatsApp call? I just tried it after calling someone on WhatsApp using a voice command, and double-pressing the capture button actually just made a picture. I have WhatsApp connected in Settings. Anyone a clue what might be going wrong there? #meta @jakobrosin @FreakyFwoof

Is it just me who has Chromium-based browsers crash relatively often with a screen reader enabled on WIndows as of the last week or two? Trying to figure out if its a software or hardware issue

Attention all people who keep demanding people's attention by prefacing their post with the word "attention": It's getting old. Particularly if you're virtue signaling about something that has nothing to do with you. Kindly cut it out and go find something positive instead of the next new thing to be mad about. Or don't, and realize how annoying it is to receive a random PSA from someone you've never met. Please and thank you. mic drop #snark
