@clv1 @nick @WeirdWriter Native app development is/should be made significantly easier by their Borogove SDK. Their post about it:

TIL the last Blockbuster video store in Bend, Oregon hosted a school field trip in 2024 for first graders who were learning about what life was like when their grandparents and parents were growing up.

@clv1 @nick @WeirdWriter Snikket Chat is also a strong contender, given its use of a well-established XMPP protocol. Once a more modern and native XMPP app is developed that is able to take advantage of the improvements to the spec made on the part of Snikket, that is. Miranda IM's support of groupchats is underdeveloped, and Pigeon just isn't very accessible on the Windows side. https://snikket.org/

Here's something a lot of companies could learn from Nintendo of all companies. The Switch 2 console has had a text to speech feature, but not for the first time setup. The newest firmware fixed this and now you can hold down a button to turn on speech. Except, any units in the wild won't have this for a while and be on an older version. So what'd Nintendo do? They have a gigantic article on their website detailing how to do the setup blind up to the point where the console will download the update. It even goes into details on how the language select screen looks like, or how to connect an ethernet cable or USB keyboard to enter a wifi password. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68477/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xNzczNzM0MDQ1L2dlbi8xNzczNzM0MDQ1L3NpZC9mVUpLWHM3VlVyS1Q0QkpIVXZOMm9hSndZV05LNWslN0VmakVIcUx3MjFQYkV1bE5pUnQzVE9rTFc3a0t1QkI2azZFUWIyTTZibW9qd2UlN0VITm01NUo3UmlfNFlXVjF6QjFZYzBLblNVTkhZeklNRWptenNBUjlwcTR3JTIxJTIx

Accessibility Awareness 22h ago

The No Mouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Try using your website without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. Is it possible to access all features and operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls?

@jpellis2008 If they have a no-questions return policy then I just might be getting these to evaluate and, judging by how good these sound, hopefully keep around. The Shokz OpenFit is most definitely going back, because it's clear that latency won't be going below 350MS and that's horrendous even for its intended phone use.

This, folks, is what ends up happening when you participate in an email thread that has gotten way, way, way too many replies:
out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote out of block quote blank

P.S: nvda is now lagging due to too many levels of quoting.
P.P.S: can we have a way to have nvda saying, out of 16 blockquotes?
