Here’s an illustration I completed earlier this year, after the idea got stuck in my head and haunted me for weeks.

Every time I passed these roadside signs on the motorway, my head would start planning how to turn it into a shelter between settlements during a zombie apocalypse! I finally just sat down and drew it, and this is the result!

Thx to @AmandaGill for the tip.

#Disabled people and #spoonies, a lovely and very organised-sounding group of people on Mastodon have set up disabled.social - if you've been considering Mastodon, this might be for you.

More info here: mastodon.social/@PanickedFoodi…

They have a whole accessibility TEAM!

Search Engine Land (guest/paying author) is pretty clear that you should not use accessibility overlays (such as #accessiBe, #UserWay, #AudioEye, etc):

“Are you using an accessibility overlay to help disabled users? Don’t!”

A couple of years ago I started helping out with Dutch translations for this app I used to listen to podcasts, @AntennaPod

Over time I got more & more involved. Now I'm in over my head, in a range of areas.

It's time to let go of some stuff, hand over translations to someone else. Because there's still so much that can be done and I don't have the time to do it properly. Because our translators deserve more attention. Join us!

Was? FotoFreitag?
Da muss ich doch mitmachen oder? ^^

Kalt war es damals in #Frankfurt. Doch ich wartete die gut 15 Minuten, bis die #Wolken so passend über dem Gebäude hingen ☺️

Matt Mullenweg (founder of Wordpress and current owner of Tumblr) wants to know how you want Tumblr integrated into the #fediverse (or #bluesky). Those of you who have Twitter accounts should go voice your ideas directly cause this will probably happen in the not so distant future (they already had a job posting listed last year where they were looking for #ActivityPub people)

I mean this in good faith, but it seems more like he posts this and has other people come around and check the replies to see feasibility. Some heads in the IndieWeb reached out and got a template prototype to add IndieWeb support, but it's really on us; we can't rely on them (no matter the pestering). (jacky.wtf/2022/11/drF7)

Kdy, když ne teď? A kdo, když ne my? Proč jsme spustili MastodonCzech.cz a co si od toho slibujeme:

Listening to Michael Meeks of @CollaboraOffice at #SFSCon explaining how one of the challenges of digital sovereignty is sustainably funding #OpenSource while maintaining the full promise of #Software Freedom.

He has run through many possible business models and said at the end of each how it depends on an ever growing market to be viable. How can we fund open source in a world where we have found the global growth myth is false?

So, something I've noticed about Android and iOS users. iOS users can manage to use the iPhone for just about anything they need, for texting, email, podcasts, writing whole freaking books, audio editing... And Android users use their $800 phones as "gadgets", similar to headphones and watches, and they don't see anything wrong with that. Meanwhile, sighted users use Android with [lapdocks](makeuseof.com/beginners-guide-…) which turn the phone into laptops.

@fireborn Yeah it mostly is, but it feels to me like I find more people using their iPhones as their main computing device than Android. And I know it's not because of Android itself, more accessibility and how long it'll take someone to do the task. Like I'd love to use my phone as my only computer. It's plenty powerful enough. I have the Galaxy S20 FE (SD865). But TalkBack can't even use Google's spell check, let alone move by heading in a text editor and such.

If you are interested in improving the #accessibility of Mastodon, take a look at the issue queue github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…+

If there are issues you've found that aren't there, are they part of the instance of Mastodon that you are using, or part of the core open source project? Custom themes can get in the way.

Posting #a11y bugs is important in moving ahead any open source project.

Aww, somebody just stole my perfect startup idea. 😆 So happy for the blind people in Paris who now have got a taxi-bike service. Still not a tandem ride on-demand but that much closer to it. I recall @Marco@lgbt.tech was interested in this kind of idea at some point. bimboum.com/
