Also a quick question about NVDA. I was the one to help people with this same thing before, but I forgot what I did and now is a time for doing, not thinking so much. What setting do I tweak on NVDA to make it read each link on a separate line? Thanks.

We are in the second half of 2025 and my primary ISP, #ACTFibernet, is still blocking #VLC by blocking videolan.org and its sub-domains, nearly 3 years after the Indian government lifted the ban. @medianama covered this when it happened and @internetfreedom worked with the VLC project to get the ban lifted. #WhatTheBlock #India I’ll try calling my ISP and complaining.

The image shows a cat positioned in a narrow space between the carpeted stairs and the wall. The cat is lying on its back, with its belly exposed and its paws stretched out. Its fur is a mix of brown and gray, with distinctive stripes. The cat's eyes are open, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera with a somewhat grumpy expression. The background consists of the brown carpet of the stairs and the white wall, with a small white object visible on the left side of the image. The text at the top of the image reads, "Where could I position myself to become the most dangerous obstacle in the house.."

Had a good laugh today in my AM gocomics.com run. This actually happened to me (the billboard, not the freeway pile-up).

Let me explain:

Lots of you may not know we (wife and I) ran our own #advertising agency for 22 years. One client insisted we put a QR code on EVERYTHING. We were doing billboards for them at the time along a major California freeway, and I had to tell them that people would never scan a QR code while driving at 70+ MPH.

Took way too much convincing, but we won that battle.
