VOLlama 1.0-beta.1 is here! It rebuilds much of the architecture and adds major new features such as agentic tools, so this beta needs thorough testing. It’s important to run Chat > Reset and start fresh before testing. You can download the latest build and read about all the changes on the Releases page.

Everyone needs to stop using hCaptcha! It is the worst accessibility tools I have encountered. Almost every time I try to use it, I run into some problem. Today it said "Cannot contact the server." I sware I'm not a bot. This is simply more than web accessibility issue. As more websites started using it, it effectively blocks me from accessing many websites bc I'm blind. #accessibility

Does anyone know an accessible audio recording app on iOS that can record with an external microphone and monitor the signal during recording with headphone like airpods? GarageBand can do this, but I'm looking for something simpler. Thanks! @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com

I’ve been using Apple Watch for a few years, and the features I use most are: 1) checking the time, 2) locating my iPhone, and 3) deleting emails I don’t need to read. Lol. I occasionally use the activity and sleep tracking features. :)

If you are a screen reader user in the mood for maximum control over your #synthesizer, try Surge XT. It is the most accessible #softsynth #plugin I know and allows you to control nearly every aspect of the synth. Every time I use it, I am impressed by how much effort the developers put into making all UI elements to work with screen readers. They need to give a master class on how to make #JUCE plugin accessible! #accessibility https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/accessibility/

How do you control the amount of noise reduction with reafir subtract mode? If I remember correctly I think there used to be a control in parameter list with interesting name, but none of them seems to work? Thanks! @Scott@tweesecake.social @ToniBarth@troet.cafe @jcsteh@aus.social

Smaller Qwen3.5 models are out: 27B, 35B-A3B, 122B-A10B #LLM #AI #ML https://huggingface.co/Qwen

I have Rode Wireless Pro, but I just got Hollyland Lark A1 Duo wireless microphone for $33.90. I have no idea how it is so cheap! The audio quality is not bad at all for the price, even with noise reduction. It comes with 2 very tiny transmitters + magnetic clips, 1 USB-C receiver, and charging case. However, the app has a major accessibility issue where VoiceOver audio disappears, but I accidentally discovered that VoiceOver continues to work if I enable Live Listen with AirPods. lol
