Can anyone recommend an accessible course to learn html? It must work with NVDA. I've heard of Code Camp and W3Schools, but how accessible are they and how do they differ in content and style? I like courses with a structured approach, where things are explained i.e. a deductive and not an inductive approach. I usually don't need a tutorial, but I am fine with general instructions. In this case, though, exercises would be very beneficial. I am using this prior to beginning Part 2 of the Web Developer's course at Deque. I am not a developer, but they don't have one for accessibility testers.

I'll be interested to see what others suggest. I know companies such as Intopia offer training courses: intopia.digital/services/acces…

WebAIM is another one: webaim.org/services/training/

in reply to NV Access

@NV Access Thank you. These are excellent suggestions, especially the first one, as they have courses directly related to accessibility testing, working with NVDA (which I've done for many years, anyway), etc. But for right now, I'm seeking an accessible course in html itself.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

That's fair enough. I would be surprised if there isn't something, but hopefully others can share their thoughts too

I'm trying to figure out which is the best computer for my needs. I'm caught between three options. I want something very portable that's smaller than my Del Latitude 3120, and even than my Acer Aspire One D270! I would use all of these with an external keyboard. The MeLes can run off a power bank and needs speakers, while the Toughbook has its own battery and speakers. The MeLes have more usb ports, where as the Toughpad would require a usb hub (owned). Some of these come with more ram or storage. I tried to choose similar specifications when possible. All cost about $300, once you add in the power bank for the last two, though they may be on sale, due to Black Friday.

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 MK3 with 7th generation Intel Core i5-7Y57 vPro processor with two cores and four Intel Hyper-Threads, 8GB of soldered DDR3L RAM, and a 128GB M.2 2280 SSD.

MeLE Mini PC Quieter 4C, 12th Gen Alder Lake-N100 - processor. Featuring 4 cores and 4 threads, with speeds of up to 3.4GHz, 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM (4266MHz) and 128GB of storage (128GB eMMC, M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0x4 3940MB/s).
(Note: the m.2. is just a slot, not an installed drive, so it's empty, and I won't be taking things apart to install it)

amazon.com/MeLE-Mini-Quieter-4…

MeLE PC PCG02 Pro, with Quad-Core Alder Lake 12th N100, 8GB 4266MHz LPDDR4 ram, 128GB emmc storage and a Micro SD port that supports expanding up to 2TB.
(Note: I think this is for a micro sd card, which I can insert and use on my own)

amazon.com/MeLE-PCG02-Pro-Comp…

If I chose one of the last two, and wanted to use it with a power bank and not the regular cord, it would have to be this one, as no others are accessible to the blind.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

Two ideas, if I may. I'm almost sure you've already thought of both, but wanted to throw them into the pot just in case. First, as to size, what about the small gaming machines? Steamdeck/Aya Neo/GPD series? They're certainly small, and generally quite powerful. They also have batteries which will either save you getting a power bank at all or make the bank an accessory, not a must-have. Secondly, if you want to keep the price down, what about refurbished gaming units? I have seen that Valve is selling refurbished steamdecks, which may be of some use.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer I know next to nothing about gaming machines, other than that they have controllers. I know a lot about umpcs, and that is what I originally wanted, since the keyboard, speaker, and batteries are built-in. The GPD Pocket 3 would be great. But it, and most other modern ones are either well above my budget of $300, or they have lower specifications than my Dell, with a Pentium N6000. I don't mind that, but if it's slower, it should have an older version of Windows to compensate. I do own a real umpc (Fujitsu UH900). I adore the form factor, and even the layout is decent, since I replaced the keyboard with a U.S. model. But it's slow, even for me! I also want something that can handle virtualization if XP or 7 isn't installed natively. I can even do this with my Acer Travelmate 8172, with 4gb of ram and a Intel Core i5-560UM, but that's a big laptop (11.6 inches) not a umpc or tablet.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I agree with you on the UMPCs, but sadly, they're just not being made to a reasonable level anymore. I know the refurb steamdeck is being sold for a bit under $300, though I'm not sure how much. It does have controllers but, if you're using an external keyboard anyway, you can disable them. I killed them in device manager myself. Two problems with it, though, are that it comes with Linux so you have to install Windows yourself and that it has only one USB port. That is not a typo, it has one USB port which is a USB C port and which is used for charging. The installation of Windows isn't a huge deal but the USB port drove me to tearing my hair out in large handfuls. It does, however, work with VMWare and Virtual Box, so you can install virtual machines if you like. It works with a Win 7 VM, I've used it and had no issue. The processor is, of course, fairly reasonable, it is meant for light to medium gaming, after all.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer The Toughbook also has only one usb port, so they have that in common. I would definitely need to use a hub in both cases. I wouldn't usually use an external keyboard if one is built into the machine, unless I were sweating a lot (I have hyperhydrosis). I've been known to short out many keyboards that way, so maybe, that wouldn't be a bad idea, after all. I'll check the specifications of these. As for Linux, I would love a machine with Debian Mate installed, but I don't know of any. However, if I have to install Windows, this would mean extra money, but it might or might not be a lot, depending on which version I chose and where I purchased the key.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I haven't seen your particular toughbook, but I have seen a few and all the units I've seen had at least one charging port in addition to the USB ports. The Steamdeck has one USB C port for everything, charging, peripherals, docking... It has one port! A USB hub with charging pass through does work well, though, in my experience. Sorry about the external keyboard, you mentioned in your first message that you would be using all of them with an external keyboard, which is why I brought that up. I am typing this on an external, I have yet to see a built-in keyboard I liked, prefer not to have my machine in harm's way, and don't want to keep the screen up if it's a laptop. It's a good deal easier to recover from spilling something, just for example, on the $15 Logitech K360. The Steamdeck supports Valve's own Steam OS, I have never tried installing Debian on it directly. Given the availability of Win 10 OEM keys, I don't think you'll have to spend too much to install Windows on the unit. I assume, because you mentioned Windows 7 earlier, that you're not desperate to upgrade to 11.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer Yes. The Toughpad is a tablet, so it would require a keyboard, since I don't use touchscreens. An actual Toughbook wouldn't, since those are laptops. This is the one I'm considering.

In any case, no harm done. We all get confused every now and then. smile

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

Teaches me to either use braille or read better, I misread toughpad as toughbook with some sort of weird pronunciation. Honestly, this looks like a very nice unit. You can use any BT keyboard with it, too, so you're not restricted to some sort of proprietary keyboard/cover/whatever. The only thing I'd be a bit hesitant about is running a virtual machine with that processor and RAM. I'd be happier with 16 GB and a more powerful I5 or an AMD unit. I can't judge, though, I have never used that particular I5, and have never used XP at all on a VM. It's Amazon renewed, you have a chance to return if it's hopeless. Keep in mind that the LTE modem is not available on the Steamdeck. Though the steamdeck is a bit cheaper, I suspect you'll end up with more or less the same cost if you're going to buy a key for Windows 10. You get Windows with the tablet. Keep in mind, also, that the tablet is going to be a good deal thinner than anything else, and that the tablet has a separate charging port. The Steamdeck doesn't.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer I've run virtual machines with 4gb of ram on the host, but that was with 7. With 11 as the host, I want at least 8gb, which works very well. Right now, I'm using a Del Latitude 3120 with an N6000 processor, a 128gb solid state drive, and 8gb of ram. I have Tweesecake, about five browser windows, and two Notepad windows open in 11, plus an XP machine with three more open windows, all running concurrently without a problem.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

Most interesting, I'm impressed. Is it VMware or Virtual Box that you're using? Also, if I may ask, how much RAM have you assigned to the XP machine? I ask since the day is coming when we can run XP on a VM hosted by a phone, and that will make life a good deal simpler for those of us who want to read comfortably and portably.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer XP on a phone! Now that I would love to see! But it must be accessible. From what I know, it is possible to run Windows on phones, but there's no sound. Anyway, my XP machine is currently using 2gb of ram.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

It will come, eventually, probably faster on Android than on iOS. Yes, it has to be a full machine, audio, keyboard, everything. As I said, it may well happen, though I'm not sure how soon.

@Tech Singer I would absolutely love that! Just thinking of it is making me smile! It would solve all of my computer problems!
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

Another thing, if I may raise it. Is there a reason you're running 11? I ask because you do seem to be familiar with the fact that 7 and XP are still usable if you have good security practices. I'm always a bit hesitant about 11, and even 10, on any sort of resource limited system because Microsoft takes the view that they own the machine and can run whatever they want on it, including updates which slow things down, break things, and so on. I'm running 10 on this machine, but it never sees the internet, there's a 7 VM which is connected to the internet through its own network card.
in reply to Tech Singer

@Tech Singer I've never had any trouble with resources on this machine, even with 11. I just don't care for the operating system itself, the changes in interface, etc. Unfortunately, TweeseCake only seems to work on 11. I even tried it on 64-bit 7 and it didn't work.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I have the same experience with 10, and would probably have the same with 11, though I haven't installed 11 on hardware. The vast majority of the time, 10 is fine except for UI stuff, which is a matter of taste. Very occasionally, though, 10 will do something odd unless automatic updates are blocked, will act strangely because I block telemetry, or otherwise just annoy me for no reason in ways which require resources. Anyhow, I really fail to see why anyone should use what he doesn't like. To put it differently, it may just be a matter of taste, but it's my machine, so it should be set up to my taste. All that being said, you're quite right about Tweesecake not working with 7 in the normal course. I have it working with 7 here, but only because of VXKex. If you haven't tried that, it may be worth a shot. github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex/ I had to use an older version of VXKex, but it did work and once it works, it just keeps working. I have used TC on 7 for a good while without issue. Be careful with this since I know there has been some posting of modified VXKex versions with malware, unfortunately. If you want the file I downloaded back in March, and am using, let me know. TC does, of course, work on 10 without any sort of modification.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I'm intrigued by this little machine. It's small (even smaller than the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 MK3 that I was considering), light, has built-in speakers and a microphone, several ports, including a 3.5mm, a usbc pd port, and even a built-in battery! This may very well be what I need. Oh, did I mention the price won't kill me, unlike the $600+ umpcs? Keep in mind that I don't care about screens or graphics, since I'm blind.

Thank you. I'm also working on figuring things out.

To make a very long story short, I am considering entering the field of accessibility. More specifically, website testing. For those interested, I wrote about it here. If you can offer any suggestions, recommendations, etc. either here or there, please do so. I would love to hear from you!

The long story, for those who are interested in my background in technology and how I came to this decision, can be found here. My blind peers, in particular, may enjoy this, though it may also take you on a trip down memory lane.

Is there a way for me to filter out certain posts, such as vegan, politics, non-English, etc? I really have no interest in them, and in the last case, I can't understand them, and they're clogging up my timeline.

Friendica and mastodon seem to shorten the @ after it's posted, as I do specify the full path to jlai.lu.

You were right about needing to link the instances first! After I searched this community and followed it from mastodon, my comment went through. :D



can someone tell me how to change my profile pic on friendica.world? maybe drop a url for me


(Update. I can't hit return to go down a line and add tags, links, etc. in TWBlue, either! It looks like I'll strictly use them for reading favourites.)
TweeseCake and TWBlue have many things in common. The one thing that TWBlue lacks is the ability to edit my posts. This is why I can't use it as my permanent client. Does anyone know if they intend to resolve this issue in the future? It also doesn't have the conversation thread option, but I'm not quite sure how that works. Seriously, though, why wouldn't such a basic thing as editing one's own posts not be included in a client that is supposed to be accessible to the blind? I am not sure I can edit my profile here, either, which I can do on TweeseCake. But I can't view my favourites there! They keep disappearing!

#accessibility #editing #editingposts #Friendica #profiles #TWBlue #TweeseCake



My favourites list just disappeared from TweeseCake. I was viewing it, then it stopped reading them and said "list" with numbers (6 of 210) as an example. Now, the list is completely empty! How do I view them on Friendica, or is there a way that I can get them back in TweeseCake?

#accessibility #favorites #favourites #Friendica #TweeseCake

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

It just did it again! It appeared, and as soon as I started going down the list, it said numbers, and then everything was gone.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I found a work-around by using TwBlue. It consistantly shows my favourites. However, it does not allow me to edit my posts, which is why I don't use it normally. If they changed that, I could easily use it as my permanent client. Both it and TweeseCake seem to share many features, other than this all-important one.


I recently read a very interesting article in the newsletter of the Ivor Novello Appreciation Bureau. It was from 2007 (they really need some new content), and the author discussed a failed concert of Novello's work, headed by George Daugherty and David Lik Wong, complete with "Sinfonia Britannia, a full orchestra (to the exact size Ivor had specified for his London shows) plus a line-up of world -famous vocalists." The reason given for the failure was a lack of press coverage, despite the phenomenal performances and work that had gone into them. But now, it's 2024! We have the Internet as nevr before. We have live streaming, and our words travel instantly! So why not try again? And if we can't do a full theatrical production, why not do what Ivor himself once did and turn one of his plays into a radio production! While it would be ideal to work in a professional studeo, it's not even necessary, since parts can be sent in and edited to form one whole. This also does away with the need for sets (which can be extremely expensive in his case), costumes, etc. We can even include actors with disabilities but fantastic voices, since no one can judge them based on looks! This would be the perfect opportunity to let them shine based on their own merrit. All of Novello's works are in the public domain now, so we wouldn't have to go through endless battles and thousands of pounds to obtain the rights to perform one. My only request, and I can't stress this enough, is that we follow his vision as closely as possible and not modernize it! That drives me to distraction! I know it will be next to impossible to find singers of the calibre of Mary Ellis, Olive Gilbert, Vanessa Lee, Trefor Jones, etc. but at least, more people will be exposed to Novello's works. Then, if they really like it, we very well could bring them to a real theatre!

Update!. I found the post, and it still doesn't show the proper links, even when I go to edit! Now, I have to open Accessible Youtube Downloader, search for the videos, copy the links, then paste them in! This is ridiculous! Oh, and while I'm at it, there should be a way to view only original posts that I write, not boosts or replies. But this is similar to seeing things out of context in my timeline and not as normal posts with comments only after I click on them. This holds for both Friendica and Tweesecake, as well as any other clients I may use.
I am extremely annoyed. I wanted to copy a post of mine from here to Dreamwidth. Normally, this would just involve a simple copy/paste. I went to Friendica, searched for a tag that I know isn't used often but that I used for the entry, and began copying. But instead of finding the Youtube link that I posted, I found a shortened version that didn't even work when i tried it! Now, I must go back to Tweesecake, go through all of my posts for the last week, find the one in question, and go to "edit" to get the real link! That, or go to Youtube and search for the items. This isn't right. What I post should be what is seen. There should also be an easier way to search for posts, both on Friendica and on Tweesecake. If there is a way to search for a post via quotes and/or date, and I simply don't know it, I apologise.

Thank goodness, I can even use Accessible Youtube Downloader to do this quickly, or I would have to search the Youtube site itself, which, like Facebook and Gmail, is now a mess! But Youtube started their rubbish in 2017, when they destroyed the m.youtube.com site. As with all of the others, the mobile site simply worked and made the whole experience enjoyable, until the sighted idiots decided that everyone must view their website the same way and took away something that was simple, clean, and most of all, accessible!

If I boost a post and then edit it to add my own comment, will it show in my boosted post? Most of the time, I boost things because I agree with them, find them interesting, etc. But sometimes, I disagree and would like to add my comments to it, rather than just post it without saying anything. At other times, I might have insight on a given topic, or I agree whole-heartedly with it and want to explain why. I often did this on Facebook. There is an option to edit my boosted post, but I'm not sure if it works.

#boosting #friendica #opinions #posting #sharing



I've been seeing a lot about lists, ordering timelines, etc. But this is all from the perspective of Mastodon. Does Friendica have such features? If so, can they be accessed via Tweesecake? I know there are friends and circles, etc. I never really researched it. But it would be great, for example, to put all of the posts from Caturday in a list, so I don't miss them. I might also add those who post a lot, in general, to a list, so that I can still follow them and also see posts from other people or pages.
