Just PRess Record
I tried several times to record something today and the recordings appear to. be there in the Just Press Record folder in m4a format but they won’t play either with vlc or Quicktime. Quicktime says they’re not compatible with it and vlc doesn’t say anything, just doesn’t play them. I’m doing this on my Mac. if there are any settings in the program anywhere I can’t find them. how does this work? thanks.

Re: VMware's Fusion now free for personal use!
And you can describe a vmware fusion virtual machine is like an app on your home screen. For example apple music and dropbox is the two first apps from top left to the right. The third app could be windows 11 and the number 4 app could be linux. You hit the windows 11 app and it starts up and you are inside windows 11. you are basically using a windows 11 machine.start menu, desktop all programs apps you want to install and buy. The windows 11 app is a little bit more harder to install, but if it gets accessible everybody can install it. It is really cool experience. And useful of cource. It a few years since i used it myself. I am hoping to test again sometime soon. Eiret > 25. mai 2024 kl. 23:01 skrev 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries > : > > Did Broad.com take over VMware?

Re: HTML question.
I am not unfortunately. Everything I get back to test has already gone through our QA department and had the worst of what was wrong with it to begin with already fixed, and I just go over it in the end to make sure everything works the way it's supposed to. So it’s tricky to figure out sometimes if the buttons that don’t expand when I need them to are an issue with the site itself, or more to due with the template we’re using in Squarespace itself, that there’s little we can do about resolving. We’ve had the same issue regarding speed bumps that pop up a x sign letting you know you’re about to leave the site you’re on and go to a third-party site that I’ve finally just chalked up to Safari not knowing how to handle them properly, since I have to constantly restart Voiceover to get them to activate, then they will for a while, then they’ll just sit there and do nothing. However, when testing these links in Chrome, they seem to behave themselves just fine. > On May 25, 2024, at 3:59 PM, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote: > > OK, now I understand better where you’re coming from.

Re: VMware's Fusion now free for personal use!
Marlene: I posted because we've had extensive discussions in recent months about VMware Fusion (as well as its competitors from Parallels and UTM) on this list. I believe there are people on list for whom this will be welcome news. I don't mean to offend, but if you don't know, you're most likely not interested. A simple answer that probably doesn't explain enough is that it provides a virtualized environment into which you can install a second operating system, or even a different version of the host OS. It's a way to have both Mac and Windows on just one machine. Think of it as a box inside the big box that is your MacOS environment. The box in the box might then have Windows, or Linux, or an older version of MacOS--because that's what you, the user need.

Re: HTML question.
Got it! So, I gather you're more or less up to speed on markup errors that you need to know about to do your auditing job. Yes? Now you're learning HTML in an ostensibly more structured way, i.e. using online courses from W3Schools. Can you say why? Do you have a specific goal for that knowledge and skillset? I don't know about you, but I've always thrived better in in person classes where I can get guidance and support from a teacher willing to understand the strengths and challenges I bring into class. Very likely these are not exactly what my classmates bring to the party. Not all teachers are good at that, just as sighted colleagues aren't always good at understanding the nonvisual framwork from which you operate. However, the ones that do can be enormously helpful in guiding one into what to study hard and what you can safely ignore for now. A self-guided on line curriculum isn't going to give you that unless it happens to be an online course built for blind users, such as come from Hadley. To take it back to your first post, you do need to understand and deal with div and class; but, you should be clear which is HTML and which is CSS. Because, if you don't, you're just ticking off boxes based on a partial understanding. I've never found that kind of partial understanding all that useful, personally.

Re: VMware's Fusion now free for personal use!
It's the MacOS equivalent to the VMware Workstation or VMware Player products on Windows. All of these are for running virtual machines on another computer. I used Fusion years ago but switched to VMware Workstation on Windows because I had less keyboard problems that way. When using Fusion, I found the best way to run Windows included using a USB keyboard directly on the guest Windows instance.

Re: HTML question.
Ok, so in a nutshell, I audit web sites I’ve been sent either through squarespace that haven’t gone live yet, or am sent ones that already have to recheck to make sure links are clickable via screenreader/keyboard, links/elements have proper alt text, and accordion style buttons expand and collapse when they’re supposed to, and that Voiceover reads out when they do just that. If this isn’t happening, I audit my findings in a spreadsheet in excel and send my findings back. So there’s been a goal in place for me for years for me to learn HTML and I’ve been simply trying to navigate my way through w3schools, but since the main things I’d be needing to focus on appear to be 1 of 3 things, adding proper alt text to links that just say dreaded things like “click here,” “learn more” etc., adding alt text to a completely blank Iframe, that most sighted people don’t think needs alt text, because to them it just looks like a window they can see through to find what’s imbedded into the site, and last but not least, figuring out what’s not making an expandable button expand the way it needs to be, or if it is, why it’s not reading out why it’s expanded. So with all that being said, I think I just need a better understanding of what lessons I can skip over for now in order to find what I need to work with in order to learn to make that happen. > On May 25, 2024, at 2:45 PM, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi Jessica: > > This will be a somewhat longer response to your question and I hope it's > helpful.

Re: HTML question.
Hi Jessica: This will be a somewhat longer response to your question and I hope it's helpful. Apologies in advance if it's not as comprehensive as I would like to make it, i.e. with relevant links for good additional info, etc., etc. My first comment is an observation about getting help from sighted colleagues. Frankly, they often don't know how to talk to us blind folks. That's true in digital environs just as it is in physical environs. Pointing this out takes me to my first response to you about certain HTML elements, specifically the div element. It's just a container. You can deploy it to contain anything you want, actually. The sighted world loves it for the look and feel opportunities it provides. Other HTML elements are clearly structural, e.g. the list elements you were pointed to in this thread. Yes, we blind folks tend to love the more structural elements simply because we benefit from clearly organized and well marked up content. I suppose most of us wish we saw that more often, but I digress. The take-away so far is the notion of containers. The div element isn't the only one, but it's widely used, so understanding that it's just a bucket is important, imo. Next I want to share an architectural overview with you. In my understanding there are three important code streams in most web content as follows: 1.) HTML This is the structural content organizing code defined by the WHAT Working Group (and the World Wide Web Consortium). The "source of truth" for HTML is this publication from 10 years ago: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/ More useful to you is the Mozilla Developer Network documentation of HTML 5 and how to use the various HTML 5 elements. Over the years I've found that power HTML developers refer to the Mozilla Developer Network documentation pages when discussing pros and cons of particular HTML codeing approaches. The MDN is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ There's lots of great help there including "Getting Started" guidance. There's also a Wikipedia page for MDN you might want to visit to understand the HTML world we now live in a bit better by way of acquiring a contextual understanding of the coding work you've set out to learn. Note that MDN also provides guidance on the following architectural coding streams, so it really is a great one-stop source of info for you! 2.) CSS In the classical understanding of web content organization, and still the very much preferred approach for well developed web content, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the code layer responsible for the look and feel of web content. CSS remains actively in development. As a blind coder you will at least want to understand the basics of CSS, but it's nuances are likely something you'll leave to sighted colleagues. The "source of truth" for CSS is a large corpus of specifications from the W3C's CSS Working Group whose home page is here: https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/specs.en.html And, a more user-friendly introduction to the CSS world is provided here: https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Overview.en.html On a personal note let me briefly digress to comment on how I recently used CSS on one of my consulting contracts. I was developing a document with my contractor that included quotations from documents published online. However, my colleagues weren't always sufficiently careful making edits to our jointly developed document. So, I colorized all content contained in the HTML tag dark red with the comment that we could quote more, or we could quote less in our document; but, we could not change what the published document we were quoting from actually said! 3.) Javascript While there are perfectly good HTML elements for interactivity in web content, the interactive layer of web content is usually accomplished by javascript, often denoted simply as "js." There isn't a source of truth I know of for you regarding javascript. However, there's plenty good guidance about using js in more accessible friendly ways on the web. Here's such an article from the MDN that sums all this up: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility/CSS_and_JavaScript Lastly, let me simply comment that you don't need to change your operating system to learn HTML, CSS and even javascript. While I would tend to agree that you're likely to end up using Linux if you become a power web content developer, that day need not be today. You've sufficiently complexity in your world just now to grapple with. Let me add only that the point to all that is the power of the command line as opposed to the point and click graphical environment. Windows and MacOS provide their own p[owerful command line environments, especially most recent versions of Microsoft's Power Shell. Also, you can comfortably run Linux on a Windows computer using the Microsoft provided Web Subsystem for Linux (WSL). On a Mac you'll likely want to establish a virtual machine using VMware Fusion, though many people
