@alfonsosiciliano Two questions: what kind of Braille display are you searching for and how much would you pay for one? Oh, sorry, third one: where are you located? Thanks.

@lexoyo @silex an AI agent of course, because Figma is inaccessible, and in their case I even don't know really whether it can be made fully accessible at all. I think yes, but it's kinda huge of a task.

I think I finally found a book that is too long for the NLS eReader to handle. IT by Stephen King, which is 48 hours in audio format. On one eReader downloading it from BARD, it straight up says book reader stopped, please restart the application and won't load. On another eReader downloading it from bookshare, it loads. But then when I tried to access file manager to delete it and a couple other books, it said file manager stopped, please restart the application. Seems to me to be related. Has anyone else seen this?

Arch Linux isn't an operating system. it's a Tamagotchi for IT nerds. You don't actually use your computer to do any real work. You just keep the OS alive. It is the life mission now because you refuse to go to therapy or let go that 20 years old Thinpad. You have to feed it ⁠`pacman -Syu⁠` every day, massage its broken dependencies and pray the new kernel doesn't shatter your graphics drivers. It’s cute, but some of us actually need to open a python code or browser without checking a wiki first

Как сказал ChatGPT, с которым я просчитывал геометрию этих антенн после того как я её собрал "на глаз" без подстроек и показал ему первый замер:

Человечество иногда случайно сгибает медь правильно.

@ppatel @TheQuinbox But I use various such punctuation, like correct quotes in French, Ukrainian, and Russian, everywhere, not only in Word, so this addition is a very nice thing.

@TheQuinbox Wow, that's something new! I've been using a tiny JAWS script of mine for years to type it, because I was an em dash person far before AI.

I noticed some core NVDA modifications (namely unfamiliar .pyc files in library.zip) while poking around on my BrailleNote evolve, so I reached out to Andrew Flatres about GPLv2 source compliance. To my delight, HumanWare actually packaged up the source code for the community! If anyone wants to take a look under the hood at how their commands and display layers interact: https://humanware.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/braillenote/Evolv/Public/nvda.zip
Huge thanks to Andrew and the team for turning that around so quickly, this makes my nerdy heart happy.
Additionally, I grabbed all the GPL-licensed code HumanWare distributes in NVDA's AppData directory on version 1.0, and put it in a zip file here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s872ianc6bfzk9ogkh060/evolve-addons.zip?rlkey=q93kvhfcmxzlxhyeiemjaf37f&dl=1

@HartgenConsultancy I don't know if it's me only, but *in* the call I'm able to navigate exclusively with touch cursor.

@somegregariousdude I'd suggest pulling from master: git clone https://github.com/allendang/wxDragon.

@skobkin @Sevapopov У меня всё просто, гитара в Украине осталась, когда я туда попаду, не знаю…

@LWorksGames Lol, I read "Version 0.4 is nowhere" and wondered why 😊

@skobkin @Sevapopov Так и я на дровах учился. Все мы оттуда родом))

@skobkin @Sevapopov У меня почему-то не хватало не то сил, не то сноровки нормально прижать струны, и звук получался… ну такой, блямс, глухой очень, яркости не хватало. А сейчас у меня гитары давно уже не было в руках.

@skobkin @Sevapopov Который на первом ладу. На шестом, понятно, легче, там полное баррэ.

@Sevapopov Си-бемоль мажор, кстати, сложно брать, у меня он частенько смазанно получался.

@wronglang @fastfinge @matt @nolan @zersiax It's my greatest pleasure to answer questions, so keep asking. Answer to your one is yes and no. Yes in the sense that we have dictionaries for the cases when TTS mispronounce something like a proper name (for example, a married couple of great people I know have last name Toews, but it's pronounced "Taves", to rhyme with "waves") — for such cases dictionary exists. Also, in JAWS there is a symbol descriptions file for various mathematical characters, emojis, additional letters, it stands just before the TTS, after all processing. However, more difficult hooks like you describe would have one destructive consequence — latency. Latency is the demon we fight at all costs when developing screen readers and TTS engines. Because it's like your latency when text is output to the screen. Imagine having *perceivable* latency between you typing a letter and it appearing on your monitor — it's not simply irritating, it's devastating for a working person.

@felixule I have mine: https://github.com/Oire/debussy. they are constantly evolving though.

@felixule I recommend Claude Code. Especially if you add some skills and hooks, you'll get a really good coding assistant.
