<p>Hey all,</p><p>I have a friend who&#x27;s been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn&#x27;t seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can&#x27;t really direct him.</p><p>Can someone who does use a <a href="/tags/screenreader/" rel="tag">#ScreenReader</a> point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?<br><a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> <a href="/tags/a11y/" rel="tag">#a11y</a></p>

I am running <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> RELEASE 15.0 with <a href="/tags/pkg/" rel="tag">#pkg</a> for package management, no <a href="/tags/ports/" rel="tag">#ports</a> at all. It appeared to me that the Joe&#x27;s Window Manager port, x11-wm/jwm, was built without <a href="/tags/svg/" rel="tag">#SVG</a> image support by default. However svg files are actually widely used by multiple icon themes, meaning that many of them will not work under <a href="/tags/jwm/" rel="tag">#JWM</a> . Should I simply compile it manually out of ports tree? I mean getting the ports tree is not difficult but setting up <a href="/tags/poudriere/" rel="tag">#poudriere</a> and all just for one package seems tedious. Are there any other simpler waysnto achieve this?<br><br><br><a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#unix</a> <a href="/tags/wm/" rel="tag">#WM</a><br>

<a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> : How to bulk download all emails in inbox from <a href="/tags/yahoo/" rel="tag">#Yahoo</a> email?

I do have <a href="/tags/alpine/" rel="tag">#Alpine</a> set up locally on my laptop to read them once in a while. I tried Select All and Save in Alpine however it is too slow and easily fail simply because it took so long that remote server would kill the connection.<br><a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#Unix</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a><br>

<p>Putting an ask out for a friend. She&#x27;s hoping someone might have some of these Mars Lumograph 100 EE pencils tucked away somewhere that they don&#x27;t want.
