Re: What is Everyone's Religious Beliefs
Re: What is Everyone's Religious Beliefs When I was younger, I used to say that I was an atheist. Eventually, though, I realized that I was only saying that because I hated being dragged to church by my parents.Now, I know myself to be agnostic.I don't believe that it's possible to prove or disprove, objectively and undeniably, the existence of one or more gods. Certainly not now, and probably not ever.One of the definitions of "faith" is "belief that is not based on proof", and that is a kind of belief that I'm not capable of.Even if the words of all the different holy books were given to the people by some god, directly or through a prophet, and even if the current versions are identical to the original written versions, there might have been a time when the words were passed down orally from generation to generation. In that time, the words may have been altered in the retelling, deliberately or otherwise.

Re: Should Porn Be Banned On College Campuses? I agree with most people here. The only people this will be effective against is those who don't know how to get around the blocks, and those who don't want to put too much effort into getting around the blocks. Even if you give people school laptops with programs installed to limit what can be viewed, people will always find ways around them if they really want to. Unless you can completely lock down the computer, so the student can't get access to the hardware, can't modify the operating system or any installed programs, or modify critical settings, it's not going to work.

Re: to wear or not to wear an apple watch, that is the question
Re: to wear or not to wear an apple watch, that is the question Another thing that I forgot to mention is that the Apple Watch can vibrate the time. I'm not sure if you have to have VoiceOver on or not, but if you double tap the screen while the screen is off, the watch will vibrate in a specific pattern. There are two or three different choices. The one I use uses long vibrations for ten hours/minutes, and short vibrations for 1 hour/minute. So if it were 19:42 (7:42 PM), the watch would use 1 long vibration, 9 short vibrations, then 4 long vibrations, and 2 short vibrations, for 19:42. Really useful. So the Watch can be a really useful tool, especially where you might not be able to pull out your phone.

Re: Beginning my yourney with Linux
Re: Beginning my yourney with Linux Unfortunately, Espeak-ng isn't currently available from the main repos, so you'll have to get the pkgbuilds from AUR and build it yourself.I don't know if you know about the Arch User repository (AUR) at this point, so I'll tell you what you need to do.The first thing you'll wont is an AUR helper. The easiest one I know of is called "Pacaur", so that's the one I'll use in the examples here.Go to the following page:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacaur/Choose "Download snapshot" and save the file.Then in a console or in a terminal window, change to the directory where the file was saved, and extract the file with "tar -xvf pacaur.tar.gz"The extraction should've created another directory called "pacaur", so "cd" to it.Then' type the following command:makepkg -iThis will make the package file, and then install it with Pacman.Once that's done, things get easier, as Pacaur will automate the rest of the installation for you.To make sure that Espeak-NG will work like the old Espeak at higher speeds, we need to install the "libsonic-git" package, so type:pacaur -S libsonic-gitFollow the prompts, and once that's done, Type the following two lines, following the prompts as before:pacaur -S pcaudiolib-gitpacaur -S espeak-ng-gitOnce those are installed, you're pretty much done. ALl you need to do is either kill and restart speech-dispatcher and espeakup, or restart your machine at this point. HTH.

Very frustrating.I am currently using Arch Linux as my distro, with Xfce as the desktop environment, and dispite a few minor issues and annoyances, things are working well for me.

True, it has its issues, sometimes Orca will freeze up on large sites like Amazon or Facebook, but in my experience, it's far from unusable.Also, it's absolutely false that Orca can't be interrupted. The control key works the way it does everywhere else, to silence speech. Since I got ESpeak-NG working, Orca starts speaking the instant I press a key.

Another one of those things that just boggles the mind. Generally, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Re: any recommended bluetooth keyboards?
Re: any recommended bluetooth keyboards? I have the iPhone/iPad model of the Perixx Periboard 805L. They have two models, one for iThingies, and one for everything else. They also have other keyboard models, but I don't know anything about them.The other keyboard I have is the Logitech K480. It can also connect to up to three devices, and each pairing can be set to either iOS or Android/Microsoft/everything else mode. Instead of using function keys to switch between pairings, it has a dial on the left side of the keyboard. Near the right edge of the keyboard, and above the rest of the keys, there are two special keys which control the "mode" the keyboard is in. Left=non-iOS mode, right=iOS mode. The power switch is on the back of the keyboard. It uses standard batteries, and they last quite a long time.Unfortunately, it's rather heavy for a Bluetooth keyboard, so maybe not the best Bluetooth keyboard for mobile use, but around the house, it's great.HTH.

Re: eloquence 4.7 for nvda I myself haven't been into software piracy in over a decade, and mostly, I agree with Figment here. For products that are currently supported and available, I either choose to buy the product, or I choose not to buy it. For products that aren't currently supported, though, I won't say no to using them, if I don't have to patch the product, or download a key generator. The thing is, there is no DRM of any kind on the Eloquence DLL, so if you can figure out how to interface to it, you can use it. Sort of like my views on downloading movies and TV shows with description, instead of buying them. I can't buy what they won't sell.

Re: 1 thing holding me back from switching to Linux.
Re: 1 thing holding me back from switching to Linux. I'm with Devinprater. I actually use Arch Linux, the distro that Sonar is loosely based on. I say loosely because Sonar is based on Manjaro Linux, and Manjaro is based on Arch.I switched in March of last year, and I haven't looked back. True, I still have a Mac, but these days, I usually only use it to manage my iPhone and Apple Watch, and to play Windows games in a VM. At least 95% of my daily activity is on Linux.Like all platforms, it does have a few accessibility bugs here and there, but I wouldn't consider any of them showstoppers.For the first time Linux user, I'd recommend either Sonar or Ubuntu. For people who are a little more familiar with Linux, though, I'd go with Arch Linux, or possibly even Gentoo.

Re: Security: what are you using?
Re: Security: what are you using? The problem with some of this thinking is that for several years now, malware authors have been attempting to get malicious ads placed on legitimate advertising networks (a practice commonly called malvertising). Also, sites can be hacked, and their pages changed to distribute malware, and the worst part is that now you don't even necessarily have to click anything to start the infection. The moment you go to an infected site, it may try a number of exploits against your machine, until it is successful in installing malware.I also wish Avast was accessible. It seems to be very good, but it doesn't do me much good if I can't navigate the interface. NVDA object nav is useless. You have to use screen navigation, and even then, you can't get to all of the content. One thing AVast does have going for it, is that it has a scanner that scans pages before they are displayed, and prevents you from viewing the page if a threat is detected.

Re: Dreams about are reality
Re: Dreams about are reality Hi,I have a lot of crazy dreams.Like I'm in a building with lots of rooms and corridors, and I'm trying to run and hide from people, because I feel like they're going to do unspeakably horrible things to me if they catch me.The same thing, sort of. I'm floating downward, like I'm in water, but I can breathe. And I feel like if I move so much as a muscle, something really bad is going to happen to me.Some really crazy dreams. Maybe because I actually have a death wish in real life. IMO being suicidal and having a death wish are two different things, but whatever.I doubt if I would've had the courage to post this if I hadn't just drank many beers. They make my life more bearable, at least until the alcohol wears off.I don't drink all of the time, just when I'm alone and won't be bothered. Like now, when I'll be alone for several days.

Re: Dreams about are reality
Re: Dreams about are reality Hi,I have a lot of crazy dreams.Like I'm in a building with lots of rooms and corridors, and I'm trying to run and hide from people, because I feel like they're going to do unspeakably horrible things to me if they catch me.The same thing, sort of. I'm floating downward, like I'm in water, but I can breathe. And I feel like if I move so much as a muscle, something really bad is going to happen to me.Some really crazy dreams. Maybe because I actually have a death wish in real life. IMO being suicidal and having a death wish are two different things, but whatever.I doubt if I would've had the courage to post this if I hadn't just drank many beers. They make my life more bearable, at least until the alcohol wears off.I want to make something good happen with my life, but I have a lot of trouble with anxiety and depression, so I feel trapped, and I don't know what to do about it...Anyway...

Re: email problem in states
Re: email problem in states Some ISPs block all traffic on port 25, because it is the standard (unsecured) SMTP port, so spammers and their bots try to connect to vulnerable or misconfigured servers to send spam messages. Try ports 587 or 465. Your only other option is to use a VPN or proxy of some kind to bypass the blocks.

Re: Going back to Windows 7, a good or a bad idea?
Re: Going back to Windows 7, a good or a bad idea? Those are just a few of the things that annoy me about Windows 10. The things that realy annoy me are that Microsoft installs all of these apps on your computer by default, and all of their spying/tracking bullshit. If it weren't for the fact that I spend at least 95% of my computer time in Linux, I would've switched back by now.

Re: turning off laptop screen?
Re: turning off laptop screen? I think there are some programs that can still turn off the display, but only until you press a key or move the mouse/touch the trackpad. I wonder if someone could write a program to create a fullscreen, completely black window, and set it to always be on top, so that it would cover everything else. I don't know if it'd work, but it might be worth trying, if nothing else works.

Re: your thoughts about this laptop?
Re: your thoughts about this laptop? That does seem like a really good machine. I was also looking at an Asus laptop with the 6700HQ in it. Maybe not the same one, but a similar one.The graphics card would definitely be overkill for me, but everything else looks great. I don't play any mainstream games, and to be honest, I've only been doing some casual gaming on my phone, and some MUDding lately.

Re: turning off laptop screen?
Re: turning off laptop screen? I think the issue here is that Locutus is using Windows 10. I tried this trick yesterday in my Windows 10 VM,, and I noticed that the screen flickers off for 200 milliseconds or so, then comes back on. Even if I keep the new settings, the screen stays on. True, it is running in a VM, but I don't have a copy running unvirtualized to test with ATM.Too bad. I ALSO used to use this trick in Win7.

Re: File writing problems on Windows 7
Re: File writing problems on Windows 7 Well, since it sounds like you've tried just about everything to fix the problem, I was going to suggest that it might be a sign that the drive is starting to fail, but you've also said the problem is showing up on more than one drive. I can only suggest that you try running chkdsk, if you haven't already. That can find corrupted Windows system files, though I'm not sure if it will fix permissions.Just in case, though, if you aren't already (and you really should), you may want to at least back up all of your files, including your custom configuration files for your apps.

Re: VLC Media Player, any experts?
Re: VLC Media Player, any experts? I also use Foobar2000 as my player of choice on Windows. Although, as far as I know, it only plays audio files, not video. Not really a problem for me, though, since I almost never play video files. I do occasionally download Youtube videos under Linux, but I save them as opus files using youtube-dl.Before Foobar2000, I also used Winamp. I have tried VLC, and it didn't seem all that usable to me, but it's cool that some people have been able to get it working.

Re: Debian Help
Re: Debian Help Hello,I've never tried installing Debian, so I can,t really help you right now.If you can, though, try to make sure the right kernel modules are loading, and that Espeakup (or whatever you're using) is starting up automatically.I don't remember if Debian uses PulseAudio or just ALSA, but if it uses PulseAudio, that could be the problem as well. Espeakup and Pulse don't work with each other without some tinkering, in my experience.

Re: Dell XPS 13 or Macbook Pro 13
Re: Dell XPS 13 or Macbook Pro 13 As for PCs...I can't say anything on the XPS 13 in particular, having never owned one. However, I can say that I used to buy Dell machines, as they worked well for me. Later, though, I started hearing a lot of horror stories about Dell, their tech support and repair services, from people I know. My latest laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, which works well for me. These days, I'd probably look at offerings from companies such as HP, Toshiba, Asus and maybe others, like Lenovo.I also go to CNET for reviews.In the end, though, it's really up to personal preference. I like to try and get my hands on a machine before I buy, but if that's not possible, I usually do my own research to find the machine with the best specs for me, and check out reviews from sites I think I can trust.
