@munchkinbear @adam Hey, either of you seen Mastodon do this? I just upgraded after admittedly not upgrading for a long time, and now it's not federating, home timelines aren't doing, and I see this in my admin dashboard. No Sidekiq process running for the default, push, mailers, pull, scheduler, ingress, fasp queue(s). Please review your Sidekiq configuration.

Removed and readded. Now it seems to work. Odd.
What the fuck, phone? How have you just suddenly forgotten my fingerprint? It doesn't recognize it at all anymore.
Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

The new NVDA 2025 update fixes a longstanding responsiveness issue with Vocalizer compact voices that sprung up semi recently that was bugging me, so now I can use them again!

#NVDA Speech History version 2025.1 has been released, to be compatible with NVDA 2025.1. Additionally:

* There is now a setting to control what happens after copying a speech history item: nothing, beep, speak, or both.
* The post-copy beep frequency and duration are now configurable.
* In NVDA 2025.1 and higher, speech history items can be viewed and copied in a browse mode window. The default keystroke for this function is NVDA+H.
