  I'm looking for a good multi-file downloader, primarily for pages which contain many audio files. I tried Down Them All but I found the interface unintuitive. I then tried Audio File Downloader. This was a much simpler interface, was accessible and did what I needed but on a page containing hundreds of downloads, some of the files didn't get downloaded completely. I'd love to know what extensions you use for doing this.

  I don't know who needs to hear this but when you call a company to get support, please be in front of the device you're calling about. Make sure that the device you're calling about is on and at the place that's giving you the problem before you call, unless the problem is that the device in question doesn't turn on. Otherwise, the person taking your call has to wait until the device is booted up and you get to where you need to be. This is unnecessary and a bit unfair to the...

  I'm in the middle of my DS9 season 2 rewatch. "Second Sight" was perhaps one of the weakest DS9 stories I've seen and I'm trying to be charitable in case some who are reading this liked the episode. So far, most of the others have been decent.

  On October 27, the NFB's CENA team has scheduled a webinar on vibe coding. At the rate things are going, by then someone will have probably vibe coded an entire accessible operating system, complete with screen reader.

  @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com OK, I have one more Clipman feature request. I'll preface it by saying that you're probably not going to like it. You probably won't want to do it, even though it's probably doable. And if you don't, I'll still happily use it. Could we have an option, and it would be off by default, to have it so that, after we select a clipboard item from the history and press enter, that it would automatically perform a paste?

  I just finished my rewatch of Deep Space Nine, Season 1. Overall, I liked it and have the following quick thoughts. I love the character of Keiko, but am I supposed to believe that Starfleet couldn't be bothered to send a teacher to the station with an actual education degree? In the episode Move Along Home, the aliens from that race should have been held more accountable for what they put the crew through. Instead, Sisko was just, "Oh, well, nobody got hurt." No, that was still...

  Due to a lack of activity, the list owner of the Mastodon group has indicated that he plans to shut down the list unless someone wishes to take it over. I'm not sure I want to take on a mailing list at this point in my life but if someone is interested in taking it over and feels they can generate some discussion I wanted to pass this along. https://groups.io/g/mastodon/message/278

  @NicksWorld@mastodon.stickbear.me @Bruce@allovertheplace.ca @bmoore123@tweesecake.social @mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca @mewproj@fwoof.space Compared to the more robotic synths, Dec-talk was definitely different. I think the Express was around $1200; not sure about the internal cards. The other synth that did sound pretty good for its time was, I think it was called Prose4000?
