@bitwarden i want an explination!
i have an on prem vaultwarden server, or bitwarden rs.
now, i also use it, in edition to storing passwords, p[asskeys!
and i was able to do that, untill now.
i use the NVDA screen reader, and chrome!
it was just showing a blank screen after typing in my master password, fully authenticated!
and no, this is not an isolated incedent. i tried this with firefox and narrator, all of them had the same problems.
when i tried again, it wouldn't load at all!
there is nothing wrong with the server, it is working correctly. i can access my main password manager, i annot access my passkeys!

@[email protected] And I've got - more... If you go to linux.org and tap on the Mint forum, someone's - kinda new - there... Maybe this will give you a hint: I sincerely appologize for the long read coming up (as our attention span collectively shortens into a #CokeMentosMoment - (Reader Discretion Advised):... So this is literally my very first time in #penguin territory after 28 years on a platform of empty promises , uh, #Redmond , anyone?I have to first describe my somewhat unique situation before I can go into the specs of how I got here. As per the situation, I'm totally blind since birth, so the most important piece of software is actually a piece of 'critical spyware' in the sense that it reads the code from various objects to 'draw' my desktop, then speak the contents in focus to me via speech. That's what a #ScreenReader does. In the Windows world, this would have been either #Narrator , #JawsForWindows , or #NVDA from #NVAccess . On Windows since 2006 I've proudly used NVDA to traverse the increasingly evil Microsoft (now hardened) interface. I'm more of a pro-sumer than consumer, so on Windows I used #reaper the digital audio workstation alongside an absolute beast of a freeware+open-source software synthesizer called #SurgeXT from the #SurgeSynthTeam ! And per proper hardware control I got the M-Audio Oxygen 61 MKV MIDI controller last Christmas (No, not the Wham song) to play DAW hosts live in realtime. Per audio editing, #GoldWave was always my main squeeze - from the stupid little edits to extreme audio handling sessions (my favorite audio passion of late (say, the past 4 or so years) is impulse response recording). On a Dell Latitude 5500 acquired about 3 years ago from my brother's friend, it's handled everything I can throw at it. It initially came with 8 gb of RAM, but since updated to 32 gb to future-proof looking forward. I had to retire the battery because when I first got the Latitude, the touch pad + a part of the keyboard were swollen. So I've been on AC power per the past 3 years. Now to the nightmare scenario which I quietly saw coming... I should preface this by saying I Am One of Those that Does Want to See what's happening under the hood, so just prior to Wednesday, February 25th, just 3 days shy of #OperationEpicFury , I had an aggressively tweaked Windows session (complete with only a local profile on Windows 11 Professional) and a heap of registry files + batch+command+PowerShell scripts to totally de-damn the junk, block telemetry addresses+ports, unhide all 177 'hidden' UltimatePerformance power plan settings; Even a customized PS1 prompt with my user name@host name; date;time: Then my command input followed by the output on the next line. Had everything all set and ready to fly. But, as is standard practice in the Windows world, I shut down just before going to bed (almost wish I hadn't...), because:... Thursday, February 26th, - After powering the Dell just to check EMail, I got an awkward message on my screen: "No boot device detected" I just 'quiet'ly 'splash'ed it off, knowing the switch was nigh. Next week, around Friday March 6th, another friend of my brother introduces me to Linux Mint, but not a fully installed copy. It was a 'live' image that I somehow could not install a full copy of Mint to my SSD (quintessentially stateless computing at its peak). I somehow survived with that for 9 days till a bad #Florida #Thunderstorm took my power away! Now that Mint was gone, it twas time to see the evil 'snap philosophy' of 'humanity towards others'. While Ubuntu Noble Numbat was kinda cool, #Orca the #ScreenReader had a very difficult time with it, considering the Wayland experience + non-native snap apps throughout the interface! Twas about 3 weeks ago I'd finally had enough... I remembered people talking about the no-nonsense nature of the Mate desktop, so off to #Gemini I go to talk; He helped me prepare a 16-gb GigaStone USB flash drive - to go from being 'inhumane towards others' to 'from freedom came elegance' (complete with #Wilma (Mint 22 LTS)! He (Gemini) directed me as to how to fully format and nuke the Ubuntu image once and for all! Then, burn the Mint+Mate image to the GigaStone! The #GigaStone is now officially a - #FlintStone ! And - after the successful installation of Linux Mint + Mate with 0 sighted assistance (which is what the modern world silently endorseth), all is well - and - yall just gotta new penguin in your corner!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@freedomscientific/116484283185073878
Nah, I'd rather use NVDA any day of the week than a screen reader locked behind a damn paywall, thank you very much. It's like, not only do you have to pay for your computer, but you have to pay to access it like a normal person? Fuck off. NVDA is king. #nvaccess #blind #accessibility #nvda

Learning a screen reader does not have to require scoping through a huge manual or asking your virtual assistants questions into the late evening... I built a training module for the #NVDA #ScreenReader that walks you through 6 chapters, 40 lessons, of everything you need to know. Used by more and more people each day as we navigate through feedback. If you are just getting into learning assistive technology, or, you know of someone needing help, I invite you to download the NVDA screen reader itself, and give it a spin.

Taking this moment to point out that pressing 'esc' on a modal in firefox/waterfox will close it visually, but NVDA still maintains focus on the modal contents until you tab out and back into the browser window. It happens with tons of modals, especially the social sign-on ones, so I figure either the same component is being reused and it just doesn't play nice with NVDA, or there's some weird interaction between Gecko and NVDA under certain circumstances... or maybe it actually isn't disappearing visually and does disappear when I tab out and back in for some reason

Poking around in #joplin right now with NVDA. Their docs have a page on screen reader accessibility which is great. It explains the major sections of the editor which is very handy. Only thing is they make mention of some keyboard commands, but I can't actually find a docs page with said keyboard commands. The editor itself so far seems very promising. It's a little clunky to navigate. I was trying to hop around with f6 in focus mode, but it gets stuck a lot. Browse mode with web nav commands is definitely the way to go here. Lots of stuff seems to be labeled, I can move between notebooks in a tree view, notes within each notebook are in a list. Probably a lot better than kludging vscode for note-taking. I think I could get used to this. I really really really need keyboard shortcuts though

I've been using IndentNav for a while to write Python. Recently I installed BrowserNav and now get way more positional info about HTML elements. It took some getting used to, but now the beeps and tones help me get an idea of the physical layout of a site or electron interface.
It's similar to IndentNav, but it has more rules and works with web browsers instead of being focused on code in a text editor. Positioning is one of the pieces of information that I forgot how much I miss from my sighted days. It's especially helpful with API reference docs that rely on positional encoding. Since there's more info in the browser, I only have beeps instead of precise indentation levels to get a general idea of the structure

Thank you to everyone who attended the World Blindness Summit & WBU General Assembly last week in São Paulo, Brazil. It was an honour for NV Access to attend, and to have NV Access General Manager, James Boreham and NV Access director Emma Bennison present. It was an informative and uplifting week and a chance to meet many new people and hear people's hopes for the future!
