@destranis @pixelate Nope, for me not.

@destranis I suspected something like this.

@FreakyFwoof Me too, btw, usually. I have scripts assigned to Ctrl+Shift+JawsKey+something :).

@FreakyFwoof My right hand, when I read or navigate (not when typing), has a rest position so that my fifth finger is on the NumPad insert (zero) and my third finger is on the UpArrow key. It's so for more than two decades now.

@FreakyFwoof If you are on desktop keyboard, at least for me it's still more convenient to use NumPad Insert than CapsLock.

@bmoore123 @TheQuinbox I didn't like QRead for some reason, installed it but never used it. PaperBack is a beast, yes. A cross-platform app, a library, and now with audio books… absolutely awesome! I especially like the web view and the fact that you can turn it on and off.
Tagging @TheQuinbox, the developer deserves to read such a review.
Hamid@kalahami@dragonscave.spacehi. Hope everyone is having a good day, its like 7 AM at the time of writing this. Anyways random fact of the day: paperback is the best program for reading books, in my opinion. I finished I think, 3 books in a span of 6 days using the app. I love how its cross platform now so if you don't have it, go get it. Its the best thing in your life, or it will be. Its very, very healthy for you. That's my fact of the day and thank you so much quin for making it. Anyways this is me now signing off, or something.

@saschacowley Wait, what do you mean by PR stacks and their CLI? It seems, I completely missed it. for record, I'm blind and use screen reader and have experience communicating with people at GitHub.

@grishka Это два разных существа. Касаткой называют ласточку: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0. Но та, которая orca, — действительно косатка.

It makes me remember this joke I heard in russian:
— do you know what's good about tea?
— No, what?
— You can bring it to the office.
— Okay.
— do you know what's good about whisky?
— No, what?
— It has the same color as tea!

@pixelate Registration/sign up form is in English, but there is quite a bunch of interesting stuff: first, German is kinda broken (not broken per se, but they use ASCII letters for letters with diacritics — it's allowed in emails, for example, but the text reads awkward); then, there is absolutely no information about the developers team, only the statement that they have no relations to the original Klango developers.
Interesting, why in German? At least I see the website in German.
Brandon@serrebi@serrebiradio.comCool klango came back. It's a reinterpretation though, I don't think this is the original team. https://klango.online/

@skobkin Именно так. Вчера радикальные леваки затравили дядьку (я ретвитил) за использование ИИ, а он после крупного инсульта и парализован. Я уже видел посты на тему, что нам наплевать, что вам это помогает, вот в Африке, грубо говоря, дети голодают. Говорю, мне всё это дичайше напоминает промышленную революцию XIX века в Великобритании, прям ощущение, что снова её по истории прохожу.

@skobkin Однозначно красавцы. Ведущий одного подкаста сказал прекрасную вещь уже довольно давно: если ты коммитишь, и на коммите твоё имя, ты несёшь ответственность за коммит, и никому неважно, с помощью кого или чего ты этот код написал.

@libreoffice @elettrona Do you know what's the current situation with the spreadsheets and presentation tools? I know that the word processor gets some accessibility fixes though. Thanks!
Just heard a preview of Harry Potter full cast edition on Audible, thinking of getting it. It would be nice if something alike was produced in French also.
the presentation thing from #LibreOffice was not accessible at all when I asked, and more than that, I received a marvelous answer: "Why do you need presentations if you're blind?"
Elena Brescacin@elettrona@poliversity.itGiven that I found an app to create slides in MarkDown: is there an open source solution, accessible to blind, to show those slides in a presentation (conference, office, etc.?
Better if it's self-hostable, but otherwise, decentralized anyways.
No idea if LibreOffice is still accessible, if it has a presentation tool - OnlyOffice is excluded, accessibility isn't optimized at all despite they speak about it. Already had a call with them but no news came since long.

@Robinzz3 That's what I'm constantly talking about. Fediverse is said to be a super mega fluffy welcoming sweet place, but only for a group of people with certain political and world views. As soon as you disagree, you are called a fascist, a nazi (never mind, they don't know what those words mean, just a way of insulting by saying "You don't agree with us, so you're evil"), and whatever else. One of the sanest (is that a word? From "sane"?) communities here is the blind people exiled from Twitter because Musk banned third-party clients. We are not angels either of course, and among us there are lots of different people with different views, but at least our being here is not political, it's a necessity (much like your use of AI — and mine, sometimes, too, although I'm pro-AI). Anyway, sorry for such a long post, just wanted to say hello and to reassure you a bit. Stay strong!
