A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:

Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?

The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.

But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:

Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.

Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

Something to brighten your weekend maybe.
Particularly yesterday I did see a lot of anger about the fact that some people cannot get access to the new JAWS feature, Page Explorer. This provides guidance in terms of how to navigate a page with JAWS, and it can be used to summarise the content and ask questions.
I want people to understand that while Page Explorer is very good at what it does, it is not the only game in town.

Anyone who has been trained by me through the use of my AI training courses will have known about this for quite a while. But if you use Microsoft Edge, there is a feature called, Summarise with CoPilot.
If you focus upon a piece of static text on a page, not a link, you can activate the Context Menu and select Summarise with CoPilot.
Within a few seconds, that will summarise the page for you. You can then ask questions about that content if you wanted to.
A question that may be asked is:
Describe some good strategies I can use when navigating this page with JAWS for Windows, or whatever your screen-reader of choice is.
You type it into the edit field and press Enter.
You could submit other prompts such as, describe the images on this page. Describe if the device has any buttons and provide the button layout from left to right.

The primary advantage here is that it is very fast and will display the summary or answers to questions in a few seconds with well-structured heading navigation. Start at the bottom of the page and work up with Shift+H.
The disadvantage of course is that it's not going to give you guidance on screen-reader strategies unless you ask it, and the guidance may not be of the quality given by Page Explorer, because that has been coached to do a very specific job.
But you may not want guidance anyway. You may want to go straight to the summary. Take the case of a page on Audible. If you activate Summarise with CoPilot on a book title page, it is going to give you the relevant points including a book summary and similar books.

So if you don't have Page Explorer, there are other choices. As I say, it's good at what it does but it's not the only option. You could even ask an AI tool such as ChatGPT to summarise a page for you if the prompt was well constructed, but that approach does have some significant limitations. It would not for example work on all pages.
