Is it possible to jump between chapters in Castro? I’m trying to figure it out, but I’m not seeing any buttons or controls in the player to move between chapters. Am I missing something, or is this not currently supported?
Would love to know how others are handling this, especially from an accessibility standpoint.

Good news for blind and low vision users. The latest Facebook update appears to have fixed the back button issue. Navigation is feeling much smoother and more reliable again with VoiceOver.
Really glad to see this improvement. Accessibility fixes like this make a big difference in everyday use.
If you were struggling with the back button before, it might be worth updating and trying again.

How I Windows
This post is primarily for me to describe what I do to keep some sanity in my Windows life, but I know people don’t like the ways I hack at Windows to remove this stuff, so I plan to go over other methods to obtain the same thing, so you can make an informed decision for yourself, if you care as much as me. Don’t feel like you have to do anything though. I’m mostly writing this so people know what’s out there. I’m a power user, so this is probably for power users, or people who can take care of their technology like I think I can.
### First, what I do
I use [Ame Wizard](https://ameliorated.io/), with a playbook of settings and things to remove from Windows. Currently, the two best user-facing playbooks are [Atlas OS](https://atlasos.net/) and [Revision](https://revi.cc). These will help you remove Copilot, along with Windows Defender and many other things, but the process isn’t the most user friendly. You have to use a lot of object navigation with NVDA to get through the amelioration, but it’s possible. I find these playbooks leave me with a low CPU usage but without disabling too many features. Revision is the best if you’re new and just don’t want too many issues after the fact. Ame themselves make a playbook, but IMPO unless you want to go back to 2004 it will leave you with too much missing. I need to try their new in-beta playbook though—it has a different name so maybe things have gotten better in that department.
Secondly, after amelioration,
I may still need to use [Aurora](https://github.com/azurejoga/Aurora-Windows-Optimizer), [Winaero Tweaker](https://winaerotweaker.com/), or [Explorer Patcher](https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher) along with either the Revision tool, or the tweaks in the Atlas folder, but I’ve only ever used Explorer Patcher to fix up Explorer things after I ran Ame Wizard. Aurora is useful for a few different reasons, and it’s maintained by a blind person. It’s also pretty close to playbooks as well. The reason I don’t put it in alternatives is because I assume that people will look at this thing the same way they look at playbooks.### What are some other options?
There are some other options you have, which might be less impactful in comparison but will get you close to the CPU improvements.
* First is just adding exclusions to Defender—for example, App Data, Program Files, your audio games that Windows Defender flags as a virus but are not one, etc. I’ve heard that just adding Thunderbird’s app data folder to Defender will kill a lot of accessibility slowness with Thunderbird. So why not just add the whole fucking App Data folder to it. I think it’s crazy that people don’t see a problem with this state of affairs, but moving on…
* The second option I think you have is [tricking Defender into disabling itself](https://github.com/es3n1n/no-defender). I have not tried this.
* The third option you have is [completely removing Defender from a Windows ISO](https://github.com/soncms/StripWindowsDefender). This makes amelioration such a fun experience since you don’t have to go through disabling Windows Defender.
* Lastly, you could try [tiny11 builder](https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder), which will allow you to apply tiny11 tweaks to any ISO you download. I have not tried this.I hope you enjoyed this article and learned something new about optimizing Windows for yourself. Maybe one day AI will make this article seem pointless and old. Nah.

Hey y’all! How you doing? 😊 Quick question for those using Cleanfeed on mobile devices, specifically iOS: Is anyone else having trouble joining a Cleanfeed session via Safari? It worked fine for me a few weeks ago, but now it seems broken. Has there been a recent change? 🤔

Hey y’all, how’s it going? Quick question for those on Bluesky: I just started trying it out this morning, and it’s pretty cool so far. Are there any third-party apps you’d recommend that are more accessible? The official app is good, but I’m curious about other options out there. Let me know!

#BlindUsers with an #AllInOne printer, what are the best options and brands? I don't need a fax, but would like it to be an average business speed because I might be using it to print customer contact labels. Thanks. #A11y #AskFedi #AccessibleFedi
