Is there a reason a capability has to be covered by only a single permission? Why not have one accessibility permission that covers all that and then a bunch of individual permissions for non-accessibility apps?

It depends on the process. Argon/CO2 is used for MIG welding, while TIG generally uses pure argon. In some situations that justify the expense, helium is used instead as it allows deeper weld penetration.


I'm working on Lightningbeam (https://lightningbeam.org), an integrated multimedia editor. It's inspired mainly by Macromedia Flash, Apple GarageBand, and Kdenlive. It combines animation, audio and video editing into a single timeline. It's cross-platform, running natively on Linux, macOS and Windows.

I'm currently rewriting the UI in Rust - previously it had a Rust backend and a JS frontend using Tauri, but I ran into bandwidth limitations which prevented it from being really usable as a video editor. It's currently in early alpha.


Doesn't seem to work for me - tried in both Firefox and Chromium and I can see the waveform when I talk but the transcription just shows "Awaiting audio input".


For me it shows the waveform and then "error"


Try disabling CSP for the page


Same here. In Chromium I don't even see the waveform.


I had to turn off ad-block to get it to work.


I can see the waveform but it still doesn't work for me. Switched to Edge, disabled all adblocking and privacy extensions, built-in tracking prevention, and "enhanced site security" (whatever that is), and still no dice. I'd love to try it and be impressed, but it seems impossible. :(


Did you check if your mic even works in principle? E.g. using https://www.onlinemictest.com/

If you don't get sound there it won't work anywhere. A surprising number of problems like these can be solved by selecting the correct audio input source (provided your computer shows more than one).


Yep. Mic works fine. My mic even works on the test page! What doesn't work is any of the transcription functionality. :(


I just bit the bullet and did it via python and the api.


Same here on iPhone with Arc Search.

If so, then finding the redacted string would be similar to trying to brute-force a hash (though presumably slower, since text layout algorithms are probably more complex than a single hash invocation).

It would be nice if this told you upfront how many questions there were - after sixteen with nothing changing I figured it was probably endless but apparently there are twenty?


The only reason I use Wayland is display scaling - with a high DPI screen, many apps are blurry or inconsistently scaled under X11. Given the parade of other issues Wayland brings, I wish the development effort were instead spent on improving highDPI support in X11.


O man I recently tried to use fractional scaling on Wayland, and it went very poorly. Electron apps like slack or signal do not support it, and flameshot also works very poorly. But I guess at least fractional scaling is to an option... (Which I had to enable in some secret setting somewhere)


In xfce, setting DPI in Appearance works perfectly (in my experience). Just don't try to scale with display settings...
