Unfiltered Flathub is approved to be provided as a third party repo you can enable for Fedora 38! In the next release, if you enable Flathub as a third party repo, you will get everything on Flathub and not just the Fedora Flatpaks. #Fedora #Flatpak #Linux
Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should always be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.
My post about hashtag accessibility on Mastodon (and later LinkedIn) got a lot of attention. There were so many replies from people who didn’t know about the a…
Alternatively, our screen readers, particularly speech synthesizers and Braille translators, should be smarter. espeak-ng is already pretty good at splitting all-lowercase compound words. I'm not one who believes that the sighted majority should all have to put in extra effort to accommodate us; our tools should do as much of the adapting as possible.
And yes, taken to its logical extreme, this means that screen readers should use machine learning to reconstruct UI content and semantics from pixels, rather than developers having to make their GUIs accessible). I think we'll eventually get there. But that's way harder than handling all-lowercase hashtags. And requiring all social media users to change their habits just for us is a much bigger ask than requiring application and GUI toolkit developers to implement accessibility.
So you may have noticed that the Twitter login of movetodon.org/ is not working at the moment.
According to twitter, the app “has violated Twitter Rules and policies”. I can’t tell much more at the moment since the email they mention never arrived in my inbox.
So, zum Wochenende habe ich Euch nochmals eine Runde #eBooks hochgeladen. 12.053 davon stehen Euch nun zur Verfügung. Ungefähr 100 unkategorisierte habe ich nun auch noch selbst zugeordnet, und bei einigen anderen die Beschreibungen aktualisiert.
Wäre echt toll, würdet Ihr beim Zuordnen der restlichen 2.500 helfen! Titel & Autor verlinken jetzt auch auf Wikiedia, um dabei zu unterstützen:
@tucholsky Ah, Danke! Ja, ich sehe Kategorie-Empfehlungen in der Datenbank 🥳
Die eBooks, für die Du "Verschiedenes" empfiehlst, sollen einfach in "Verschiedenes" bleiben? Das bräuchtest Du dann nicht extra eintragen, da sind sie ja schon 😉 Eine Markierung für "ist schon richtig hier" habe ich leider nicht 🤪
Gerade gingen wieder ein paar #eBooks online. Mit dabei auch die ersten Eurer Empfehlungen für die Zuordnung unkategorisierter Bücher aus "Verschiedenes" – Danke! 😍
Kurzer Tipp: Roman, Erzählung, Novelle etc. sind Genres, keine Kategorien; Kategorien sind eher "Themenbereiche": Ein Roman kann ein Abenteuer, Drama, Historisches etc. sein.
PS: Gibt es unter Euch jemanden, der auf Bookwyrm unterwegs ist? Vielleicht findet/wisst Ihr ja zu einigen der "unbeschriebenen" Bücher auch noch passende Beschreibungen/Rezensionen, die verlinkt/zitiert werden könnten?
Don’t think we can regulate this out, because of the existence of the Tor project. Just take them away from the unstable 100% of the time. cbc.ca/news/politics/ottawa-wi…
Here's an excellent thread from Derek Riemer on Twitter's casche poisoning situation, which completely apart from the API stuff and other shenanigans over at Twitter is a recursive stack of catastrophies. See you on the other side Derek, and I'm following your RSS feed and hope you make it to the fediverse. derekriemer.com/posts/2023/02/…
The following thread marks the end of my time on twitter. Multiple issues, such as data failing to update, data being cached in some instances but not others and thus causing weird behavior, etc made
Daniel Melin on how the Swedish govt brought its comms providers and asked them to cooperate and interoperate. One year later, most of them had moved to @matrixdotorg and interoperate. Govt can have an impact on pushing open standards! @RocketChat @nextcloud #EUOpenSource
It's official, we're organizing the Display/HDR hackfest! We're bringing leaders across the GPU/display stack to address the hard questions about the next display technologies, such as coming with an HDR solution that works across vendors and use cases.
A quick look at some of the new features in LibreOffice 7.5!Download it here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/Support the community...
the company has come a very long way from the previous applications. Thank you to the developers for this updated version, I am very happy with the outcome. Keep doing what you're doing. 👏
Any thoughts yet on where accessibility fits in the project roadmap? I'd say that's necessary for making Servo a practical embeddable web rendering engine, except perhaps in some appliance-type use cases.
#fluffychat 1.9.0 has been released with some bugfixes, performance improvements and more Material You design. It now even uses the accent color on Ubuntu.
when will flathub be updated - running 1.8 on my librem 5 currently. works much better than chatty, imho. the only downside i see is that title bar a mobile device doesnt need... :)
I am using the AppImage for Linux. It also happened when using the web client on Firefox.
I figured out a workaround as well. Opening the spam folder to let it load, going to settings and coming back directly will show me the emails in that folder. It worked on Firefox too.

Previously, an article made the rounds concerning Undefined behavior that made the usual Rust crowd go nuts and the usual C and C++ people get grumpy that someone Did Not Understand the Finer Points and Nuance of Their Brilliant Language.
Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth
