Just embarked on the journey to Brussels for the #XMPP summit and #FOSDEM. Excited to meet old and new faces for the first time in several years, and talk about @prosodyim and @snikket_im development.

If you'll be at FOSDEM, stop by the Realtime Lounge in K building level 2! We have stickers and stuff 🙂

🚀 appt.org launches today

It features 100's of code examples for making accessible apps. But it also has some very interesting statistics. I selected a few.

⚙️ 59% of Android users have an accessibility setting activated

Create accessible apps and help many many more people than just those with disabilities!

🌓 37% of iOS users have dark mode turned on

A fad? A trend? Over a third of users have it

(continued in reply)


Appt.org | A guide for making apps accessible

Appt.org empowers developers and organizations to build accessible apps for everyone by offering current stats on the use of accessibility features, code documentation for iOS, Android and other platforms, guidelines, tips and how-to's.

💬 34% of iOS users have a non-standard font-size

No, it's not just your mom. 1 in 3 people change their font-size!

🔊 0.001% of Android users use Talkback

Accessibility is more than screen readers

👀 Check out appt.org yourself, and see if there's something of value for you.

Thanks to Jan Jaap de Groot, Paul van Workum, Johan Huijkman and all those involved!

A la gente con interés en datos abiertos, reutilización de datos, o Administración Pública le puede interesar que la Comisión Europea ha aprobado un reglamento de desarrollo de la directiva sobre datos abiertos en la que se determinan una serie de categorías de datos de alto valor que tendrán que ofrecerse por parte de los estados miembros en formato legible para máquinas, mediante API y, cuando proceda, descarga masiva.

La Comisión define conjuntos de datos de alto valor que deben ponerse a disposición para su reutilización

The upcoming @Tusky version now has full support for all Mastodon 4 features, with addition of other truly great features.
#Tusky is without a doubt one of the best Masto/Fedi clients out there, the best for Android period if you like me.
Glad to be a supporter, glad to be a beta tester, and glad that Fedi has such a wonderful developer-user community.
3 days ago connyduck v21.0-beta.1 387c1a4 Tusky 21.0 beta 1 Support for post editing (Mastodon 4 feature) New setting to control preferred reading direction Improved media display in timelines Media previews with aspect ratios between 1:2 and 2:1 are now shown without cropping Added an overlay to indicate media with description It is now possible to add accounts to lists from their profile Added a warning symbol when media has no description on the compose screen Your avatar will now always be visible in the main interface, even when the "hide the title of the top bar" option is active Add support for report notifications (Mastodon 4 feature for admins) Swiping between tabs is now less sensitive New view for displaying all followed hashtags (under Account Preferences) The touch area of the reply/favorite/boost buttons in timelines has been improved to make misclicks less likely Account names can now easily be copied by long-pressing them on profiles, and shared from the three-dot menu on profiles Posts can now be sent while media is still uploading, the upload will be finished in the background New option to use the browser for logging into Tusky (in the three dot menu on the login screen). This is a workaround for rare cases where the regular login fails e.g. when SSO is enabled. New account preference to set the default posting language (synced with server) New Belarussian translation Improved

Things Your Spanish Teacher Didn't Tell You
mackenzie.morgan.name/posts/th…

@videsnelson is teaching a friend of his Spanish. He's a native speaker, not a language teacher.

I had 9 years of Spanish classes & 5 years of self-study, and I found answers to plenty of things my past teachers under-explained or explained in ways that caused predictable mistakes.

I started telling him what to tell her, so she could skip those frustrations.

The result is this blog post.

Things your Spanish teacher didn't tell you

A friend of mine (a native Spanish speaker) just started teaching one of his friends Spanish, and the first thing I said was: Explain to her that ser is essence/identity/characteristic and estar is status, and that’ll go SO much better than the stupi…

Want to help out with development of Toot!? I have been doing some large internal rewriting, and probably introduced some exciting new bugs in the process, so I thought it might be best to do a public beta for this version to shake them out a bit before release.

The link to join the beta is here: testflight.apple.com/join/x0Mb…

Only join if you are happy to deal with some bugs! Or, if you want a free trial of Toot! and don’t mind a potential bug or two.

Really enjoying elk.zone/ as my main desktop Mastodon client at the moment - it feels like a spiritual successor to pinafore.social/

It's a fast loading, well built SPA application (using Vue - Pinafore used Svelte) which works entirely using the Mastodon JSON API (via CORS requests)

Code here: github.com/elk-zone/elk

It's fun watching what it's doing via browser DevTools - a really neat way to familiarize yourself with how the Mastodon API actually works

A white-gray kitten sitting on an inverted plastic bowl. A bowl-sized stain on the ground looks like the bowl's shadow, making it look like the cat is levitating on the bowl.

Not all cats have the gift of levitation.
Those that do, however, do like to flaunt it.
A cat sat on a bowl which is hovering. It's actual magic. I can scarcely believe my very eyes.

I think any reasonable reading of the evidence tells you that the entire planet needs to shovel a few more points of GDP into the health-care sector. Because, um, what is more important?

Yeah, that implies higher taxes. Or slashing spending on something else, for example the military.

economist.com/leaders/2023/01/…

Spending on health care is at an all-time high in the rich world. The trouble is that “all-time high” does not necessarily mean “enough”. Ageing populations increase demand. Health-care systems compete for staff with other parts of the economy, so doctors’ and nurses’ wages must keep pace with prevailing rates of pay. Costs rise even if health-care productivity stagnates. The unforgiving logic of this “cost disease” means that in ageing societies health-care spending must usually grow as a share of the economy just to maintain a given level of provision. Countries, such as Britain and Italy, that in the years before the covid-19 pandemic cut health-care spending as a share of GDP, or held it constant, were already on a path to worse services.

Excess deaths are soaring as health-care systems wobble

What lessons can be learned from a miserable winter across the rich world?
