@Yinshi Пиздец. Но вообще привязывать что-то к оборудованию, как мы знаем, такая себе идея. Без возможности это пофиксить, по крайней мере.

@somcak Be careful, you may severely damage your ears. No joke!

Nothing unusual, just a man performing "The lion sleeps tonight" in front of… a literal living lion!

@asael then I'd need to vibe-code most of the accessibility stack, which is kinda painful also)

@asael Именно.

Just read #Microsoft will tie #Windows activation to the mother board somehow. Don't know how it will work, but what if someone upgrades the RAM, or changes the CPU, or whatever else? Usually hardware-bound activations are a pain in the back, but let's see.

It seems, it's the first time when I see this on #YouTube: The uploader has not made this video available in your country. Weird.

@anika_voin Я бы сказал, более серьёзная скорее. В русском переводе «Следствие ведут овцы». «Овечки» тут не подходят совершенно, это взрослые разумные существа со своими слабостями и достоинствами, очень тяжело переживающие смерть человека, который их опекал. Мне запомнилось именно так. Но хэппи-энд да, есть.

@anika_voin Похоже, я книгу читал, мне очень понравилось.

Is it only me or recent #WhatsApp for #Windows builds, namely everything related to voice and video calls, can be handled only with touch cursor in #JAWS? #Accessibility #Blind

@Klimahandling @hpod16 also so-called European alternatives are in most cases hostile to people with disabilities. If you don't know what accessibility is, please google for it or ask me, I'm more than happy to answer any question. As a blind guy, I care only about #Accessibility because I literally cannot live and work without it. Thanks for reading.

that's exactly why I'm highly opposed and super angry with this ideology. "Have less because we said so" — no, F you.
"Capitalism is bad no matter what" — propose something else that would allow me and people around me live our *normal* civilized lives.

@zersiax Sorry for my childish reaction, but I laughed out loud when I first knew you basically cannot guarantee that a newly installed addon won't break everything you are used to. In JAWS this problem simply doesn't exist because keyboard manager checks conflicts on key assignment. I wonder why NVDA couldn't check gesture conflicts on addon installation.

@AmIsraLHai Les « antifascistes » sont les fascistes les plus violents. ethnomasochisme, racisme anti-blanc, soutien aux régimes terroristes, le comble.

@amir I do use FileZilla still, but there is a trick. Add a show_all=1 URL parameter, like this: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1. then download Windows X64 edition as usual. You'll get a normal version without the bloat. #FileZilla #Lifehack

@kellylford Sorry, what have you bought as certificate? I'm still choosing mine.

@miki @pvagner Earlier I was resenting something like culpability because I had to tear myself in two between moral and practical. Now I'm absolutely 150% calm: I'm deprived of a basic sense, I need special requirements for me to work and live my full life, so #Accessibility is the only thing I care of. If a company preaches so-called "inclusion" and "diversity" and is super aware of people's pronouns, allows to select a gender from a list of fourteen items, has a carbon footprint on each page and writes long posts about why AI and "big tech" are evil, but absolutely doesn't give a flying F about me and my needs, I don't care how moral this company is, sorry for being harsh.

@pvagner Sorry again, but I don't care about anything except for #Accessibility. I'm blind and I spend too much time fighting inaccessible solutions.

@pvagner @Codeberg @troed Sorry but "a friendly support" as an accessible CAPTCHA alternative is absolutely not an option in 2026. there are audio captchas, math captchas, checkbox based captchas, captchas where you have to pick the correct sound (like "Select which of the three is a cat meowing"), something I definitely forgot — and "contact support to register" is the most humiliating and discriminating option you can ever imagine. It implies human intervention, so it's not #Accessibility, it's a crutch. And I'm not even talking about LLM here.

@troed @Codeberg If that's true, I'll stop keeping (almost) silence because registration requires an inaccessible CAPTCHA, I'll start actively recommending against it.
