@Ranger1138 Oh, I very clearly remember opening that app for the first time while I was living in San Francisco, and almost laughing myself to death because of the restaurant names. Some of my favorites included Fry me to the Moon, Endless Pastabilities, Holy Cluck or perhaps my all-time favorite, Curry Up Now.
I later learned that many of these places were not actual restaurants, but so called ghost kitchens scattered all over the city, wonder if the same thing's going on where you are.
@jonathan859 I'd connect it to your computer over USB-C, then run ping move.local in a terminal to see if it responds. When it does, point your browser at http://move.local/screen-reader, you will need to enter a 6-digit PIN that shows up on your Move's display on that page. That PIN can be optained quite easily using something like Be My AI.
@FreakyFwoof @BorrisInABox @jonathan859 Actually, I have just been able to answer this for myself. The Troubleshooting Move Network Connections guide clearly states that yes, local network connections are supported over USB-C, meaning this should totally work.
Also not sure which I find more mind blowing, the fact that this works to begin with, or the level of detail in which this has been documented by Ableton, down to the local IP address at which Move will be reachable when connected in this way. This level of thoroughness in documentation is, very sadly, almost unheard of these days. https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/14645140037788-Troubleshooting-Move-network-connections
Troubleshooting Move network connections

Move can be connected directly to the internet via Wi-Fi, or to a local network via either Wi-Fi or USB-C. To troubleshoot Move connection issues, find the solution for your specific issue below. M...

Ableton
If my home timeline is any indication, the number of Move orders Ableton has gotten from blind people across the world in the past 24 hours has gone up by like 300%. Mostly thanks to some random dude making an open source project.
@FreakyFwoof @BorrisInABox @jonathan859 One more question though if you don't mind: I’m guessing that for the initial setup, I would need to either use sighted help or image recognition to get the WiFi connection going, which I'd then use to install Move Everything. Is that correct or is there a way of doing this in a way that is actually completely accessible, such as by using a wired network connection over USB in case the Move supports that?
@FreakyFwoof @BorrisInABox @jonathan859 OK fair enough, thanks for clarifying though! I personally just prefer to start small and then work my way up when starting out on a new thing such as this one, been burned very badly in the past throwing too much stuff at myself all at once, becoming totally overwhelmed and then giving up in frustration, really absolutely do not want to make that same mistake with the Move which is why I asked.
@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof So I just totally caved and placed an order for a Move with Thomann. A local music store did have them in stock and I much rather would have checked it out there first and then potentially bought from them directly, but they ran out in under 24 hours which is just insane. At least the great thing with Thomann is that I’ll have 30 days to return it if I wanted to, which is great but also highly unlikely given all the demos I've heard and the incredible community effort to make it more accessible out of the box.
One question though, as a complete beginner with this I'd like to focus on learning the Move's basic concepts, features and fundamentals first before diving into all the customizations and additional fun things that Move Everything and its Shadow UI provides. So my question is, should I just go ahead and install the entire package right away, or would it be best to only install the screenreader initially?
@techsinger @Tamasg That's for the Claude Code CLI tool specifically.
@techsinger @Tamasg This has actually been around for some time, but I think with the earlier models you explicitly needed to switch to plan mode for this to happen. I think what might be new in these updated models is the ability for Claude to auto enable plan mode depending on the task you gave it.
@neil @kev Used to do this for many, many years. Went really well for me besides a few very minor hickups here and there over the years, and honestly I'd love to do it again. However, the constant blacklisting from the big players is a huge problem that's only been getting worse and worse over time. It was getting to a point where most of my outgoing Email would either bounce back or get dropped silently by the receiving ISP, and this was really impacting my professional communications very negatively. So eventually I just caved and migrated to a paid Email hosting service, something I’m still salty about years later as honestly I was so much happier with my self-hosted solution.
It’s especially sad because both Mailcow and Stalwart are some really solid projects for self-hosting Email setups, and the Mailcow maintainers really do care about accessibility as well.
