@nixCraft That's a tough one, I guess it depends on the situation, sometimes ^k (delete from cursor to end of line) and ^u (delete from cursor to beginning of line) are quite handy.

Slightly off color joke.

I heard a joke today that made me chortle, so though it's slightly off color I'll share. Once two beautiful marble statues, a nymph and a young Adonis, stood in a park. They'd stood looking at each other in all weathers for a hundred years and more as all human, animal and avian life went on around them. One moonlit night, with a rush of wings, a fairy appeared before them. "You've worked hard and endured much for the last century," she said, "So you've earned a reward. I am going to bring you to life for half an hour, in which time you can do the thing you've always wanted to do." There was a wave of the wand, a flash of light, and the nymph and the Adonis were standing there alive. "At last!" said the nymph, "Shall we?" and the adonis gave a wicked leer and said, "Bring it on!", after which they disappeared into the bushes and there was nothing but some frantic rustling. In a while they both emerged, hot, flushed and happy. "Wow!" said the fairy with a roguish wink, "You sure needed that, but you've only taken 15 minutes, you have time for round two." The Adonis looked at the nymph, she looked at him and they giggled a bit. "I'm up for it," said the adonis, "But tell you what, let's try it a new way." "What did you have in mind?" giggled the nymph. "Well," said the Adonis with a broad grin, "How about if this time I catch the pigeon and hold it down while you poop on it!

Joke. Those who are easily offended need not click.

Borrowed from a jokebook and slightly rephrase because I don’t remember the exact wording.
A bunch of airplane passengers are waiting for the pilot so they can take off. When the pilot and copilot finally do appear, both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a cane and bumping into people, and the copilot has a guide dog. Everyone appears unconcerned until the two eventually make their way up to the front of the plane. As the plane starts taxiing down the runway the passengers begin to panic. The panic grows more intense the further the plane goes down the runway. When they have less than 20 feet of runway left, all of the passengers scream at once and thankfully, the plane lifts off and is airborne. Back in the cockpit, the copilot turns to the pilot and says one of these days the passengers aren’t going to scream and we’re going to get killed.

@liamerven Printers are the root of all evil!

Me and two sighted classmates took apart my Brailliant 40 and VarioConnect 40 during our lunch period today. We discovered many interesting things, from them both using breakout boards to braille cells taking 200 volts to move (granted at low current), to them both somehow getting USB power and showing as idle Braille devices to Mac VoiceOver, to the Vario only flashing" Braille connect 40" over and over again when powered. If/when we're able to get them working again I'll probably write up a blog post, but this spawned an interesting idea out of the three of us. A repair shop like Louis Rossmann's, except for blindness tech. I.e., you send us your device, we fix it, send it back to you. Any major movement on this definitely won't happen for a while, we're all currently high school seniors with upcoming college plans and other side projects, but would there be interest in this?

Boosts appreciated.

@NVAccess Are there any guides, or general pointers, for using NVDA with Google Docs?

audiogame-manager

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Executioner's Rage has an autoupdate system that overwrites the NVDA dll, so attempt to move the override into place when the game is launched.

Got some seeds started, so of course it turns cold again. lol

@destructatron @spaciath Back when I was into MUDs, I did a lot of work with tintin++ and sound packs. I used sox as the backend for sounds, and it supports practically everything, mp3, ogg, opus, wav, flac, etc. There are several of these still floating around in various git repositories, some of which are still actively developed, like the one for Alter Aeon. The latest one I did was for a MUD called End of Time MUD.

steam accessibility and the last of us
a while back maybe 2-3 years ago a friend of mine bought a ps4 just for the hell of it apparrently the thing is actually semi-accessible but needs a lot of work yet.

What came out of it though was 2 games i'd love to play but would never buy a playstation just to play. they are called the last of us and the last of us II recently the last of us was remastered and rereleased for ps5 and for pc you can get it through steam on pc.

One of the things to note here is that steam's accessibility is very iffy as in mike and i can get it to work and talk in the public beta where the accessibility is but our friends tony and billy can not. There's a mystery and a half.

For my birthday this year mike got me the last of us on steam and i finally got it working today and i'll hopefully tell those who have issues getting it to work on pc and accessibility can hopefully get it working.

1 you want to crank up the speakers or headphones because the screenreader voice is super quiet as in i've been trying to get this working all week and could have fixed it earlier if i had just heard the screenreader.
2 you need to use the left joistick on your controler to move up and down, or do it the way i did and use your keyboard to get all of that enabled.

There are a lot of accessibility options and i won't go into them because i'm still learning but hopefully this will help someone in short turn on your controler load the game or make it load and think it's the first time it loads and there you go just turn it on.
