Here is a proof of concept for a page showing NVDA add-ons recently updated or posted to Github. Relies on Github info, NVDA manifests, and buildVars for data. Definitely use anything discovered here at your own risk. Would love your feedback and ideas. Also pulls changelog history for addons which support this in the manifest.
I will backfill to older addons as as my API tokens allow.
I don't think there is anything exactly like this out there but if there is, happy to look at it instead.

Heard a report about this as my Lyft driver was driving me to the airport. I got out, but about 8 hours later.
What are people using for GPS in 2026, iOS or Android? Especially interested in turn by turn directions, knowing what street you are currently on, compass, what's nearby. All things Nearby Explorer used to do on one screen. Looking for both blind and low vision answers.

@BorrisInABox @DemocracyMattersALot Apparently only in the DC office as well, so just dont use that one.
Yes the AI did not do well here, but the real problem is this company not having backups somewhere else, and also iterating on a production environment. People will twist this into an AI is terrible narrative but it's the people controling it that were the big problem here. I once deleted an entire database table form the zone without any backups 20 years before AI. Lessons learned.
The 1980 B-side version of Down Under by Men at Work is quite different from the final version you know.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space You hooked a bunch of a server with this tonight. On to run 3. I wonder if there is a way to get rid of the lag that is most experienced when the market section is expanded. It lags quite a bit after 15-20 items are being tracked. Otherwise this is marvelous so far.

@alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @serrebi@serrebiradio.com Ya there's something more to this.

@prism@infosec.exchange @Matthew2468@dragonscave.space It's not the perfect solution, but I was stick of TB slowing me down and Outlook was too bloated.
Replying to
@prism@infosec.exchange @Matthew2468@dragonscave.space I stick to Gmail here. NO bloat, and works reasonably well.
Anyone out there going to the Github accessibility hackathon in SF in May?
RE: @TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space
I was just going to ask around for tips on updating from Windows 10 to 11 in the most painless way possible, fresh install on a new machine. I'm not anti-MS accounts but don't want more bloat than necessary. This sounds like a great start, and open to other ideas.

More free stuff. About 20-25 3.5 floppy discs. Some with software like the Blazie Engineering updates, others are blank or have just DOS on them. Does anyone want these before I recycle/dispose of them?I have already copied the files from these for preservation.
Replying to
@Tamasg@mindly.social @serrebi@serrebiradio.com I didn't pick it up, correct? Need think about the best way to make sure those get picked up and support more repo layouts.
Replying to
@mewproj@fwoof.space Thanks, I had not heard of Prism before and it seems like a good update to use for apps going forward.

@technocounselor @Orinks @vol4life8657 Yes they said it was a test and have backtracked, but it certainly created a stir.
Really disappointing there does not seem to be a way to get the accessible Wimbleton feed outside the UK. VPN is no dice for me. Amazing accessibility feature that is geogated for just a part of the world.

Replying to
@Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me I thought they were ones not following the proper rules for submission, or doing obvious things like assigning commands that conflict with NVDA commands, etc.
Replying to
@ner@fwoof.space I know it's the last day, but naturally I don't have a huge thing I want to throw at it.
Replying to
@TheQuinbox Hopefully you got a ticket I think they're sold out now, would be awesome to see you there.
Replying to
@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social @jscholes@dragonscave.space That's what I was trying, their standard UK nodes were blocking me but perhaps I was not going about it the right way.
Yup seeing more of this as these things get more popular. Not sure there is much of a value prop left for Copilot.
This unlinked page of other related things found while searching that are not add-ons may be interesting. https://bestmidi.com/addons/rejected.html
RE: @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social
Fair response from Be My Eyes.
Replying to
@ramblio@tweesecake.social Oo looks like Hangouts can be run from the web now, at least unofficially.
Replying to
@Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me Yup and just like anything else, there will be well-tested games, and there will be buggy games. That was true before AI and is still true now.
Replying to
@Marconius@mas.to @ChanceyFleet@mas.to Very cool. Love simple and mentally stimulating word games.
Replying to
@blindndangerous@mstdn.social @serrebi@serrebiradio.com OK I helped like 2 percent lol that's all you.
Also for free, just ask: a box of Luthern Braille Workers braille materials for free, cassettes from the DX Audio Service magazine, et al.

@serrebi@serrebiradio.com @blindndangerous@mstdn.social @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @walkside3@mastodon.social I notice for ChatGPT it spins up a new instance each time I send a prompt. It seems like it may be possible to not do this, though this would take some scoping. I like the concept though.
Replying to
@evilcookies98 I think I'm going to start with the base Lenovo install instead of reinstalling from scratch. It's a business laptop so not a ton of bloat I believe.
Replying to
@serrebi@serrebiradio.com @Tamasg@mindly.social Did it make it on my page though? What is it called, I'm not finding it. Cuz don't you have some other sources/
Replying to
@CreativeChris@tweesecake.social @JonathanMosen@caneandable.social One of my favorite things to share about Gary is that I heard him on the BBC for a few years before I even realized he was blind.
Replying to
@jaybird110127@dragonscave.space @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com @batworx@mastodon.africa Ah I'm guessing I only had that demo on one of the games disks I had. I just remember running it and that played, so it must have been a player only.
Replying to
@serrebi@serrebiradio.com @blindndangerous@mstdn.social It's more for a live mix at the moment, it can roll but does not do things like clocks at the moment.
Replying to
@jcsteh@aus.social Will there be a way to enable the experimental feature under preferences?
Replying to
@ChanceyFleet@mas.to @Marconius@mas.to That's cute. Would be cool if I had a keyboard connected I could arrow around the letters. Is enter supposed to submit the word or select a letter?
Replying to
@serrebi@serrebiradio.com @Tamasg@mindly.social Are you pulling from the RSS feed or some other way? If I can update anything to make it easier just let me know.
Replying to
@jaybird110127 Yes all of DX Audio Service is online minus one issue, which I'm going to check for.https://nationalradioclub.org/audio/
Replying to
@Tamasg@mindly.social @TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space I suppose I should know the difference here but do not.
Replying to
@mewproj@fwoof.space Nice, not sure how I missed it before, but seems like it'll be easy to transition.
