@pegdhcp@mastodon.online @netblocks@mastodon.social Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. Having to deal with insurgence when you like what you have is definitely a problem I understand. The difference I think is that I'm not aware, fortunately, of any other country in recent history killing over 30K of its own people and gang-raping nurses and a lot more things in internet blackouts. I'm not sure if the current regime is any better than Pahlavi and its Savak, if not worse. (1/2)

@pegdhcp@mastodon.online @netblocks@mastodon.social Maybe you don't know this, but as an Iranian, I know that for the past 4 years, digital blackout means lots of people getting killed, phones and security camera footage being grabbed, and another massacre hidden. This doesn't invalidate your insurgence argument, but Iran also *does* use these periods to wage war on its own citizens.

@Fou_ad@mastodon.world @netblocks@mastodon.social I'm not sure what Israel does has to do with a country plunged into digital blackout. Whether you like Israel or not doesn't really affect what the Iranian regime does to its population as far as I understand 🙏

@MuseumShuffle Thanks a lot for this, would've run into this in an app I'm developing in about 2 days! Have you reported this somewhere I could subscribe to? 🙏

@Creatortray@mastodon.social You're brilliant. What I would love even more is manual entry of the cues, because I want to have complete control to jog my memory. Also, it'd be great to move back and forth with headset buttons, then I can use bone induction headphones and glasses.

Yes please! The hours I've spent configuring shortcuts is arguably more than any time they have saved for me.

@jonathanchacon@comunidad.nvda.es So if I got this right, you have a script that converts the XML to a text file like ": ", and a script that converts it back to XML?
Replying to
@Creatortray@mastodon.social Very welcome! I fed it the script of a talk I did 9 years ago, and it created over 150 cues, whereas I would want 10 to 20. That's why I thought it's too much work to clean it, rather than just putting in what I want myself. Very cool though!

@Fou_ad@mastodon.world @netblocks@mastodon.social Can you explain more? I had a look at the original post, and it says that the Iranian authorities cut out the internet (which is true), how long ago it was (which is also true), and how access to the Internet is a human right (true as well). What am I missing?
Replying to
@Fou_ad@mastodon.world @netblocks@mastodon.social Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

@rlegowski1@tweesecake.social @darrenhartland@caneandable.social I'd love a human voice on this!
