I'm so fucking floored right now. A true legend is gone. He fought tooth and nail for gamers in the blind community the world over, inspiring so many developers to make their games accessible to all. Fly high, Super Blindman.

More interesting/typical Android stuff: When I first turned on the phone it asked if I wanted to use RCS and asked me to agree to the TOS for their RCS provider. I declined the TOS at this time. One day later I get a popup saying that RCS is on now "by default". I check and RCS is on. No longer asking, I suppose.
in reply to mcc

It sucks that #RCS, even though being an open standard, has no FOSS implementation. It is only implemented in Google's proprietary Play Services on Android, and they have a whitelist for the apps that can use it, which currently is limited to Google's and Samsung's messaging apps. This really sucks, because RCS could have been a massive improvement for everyone if it was implemented in AOSP and could be used without proprietary apps.

Tagged a new U-Boot release for some #Qualcomm phones, now supporting the OnePlus 8T (kebab), since it's what I've been using to do upstream development.

Still a bit of a pain to get started with since you need to modify your GPT to mark a partition as the ESP, you can do this using gdisk from an existing @postmarketOS installation.

Once that's done, you can build a postmarketOS image for qualcomm-sdm845 or postmarketos-trailblazer (passing --split to pmbootstrap install), flash the boot image to your elected ESP and the rootfs to userdata, and then enjoy your EFI'd phone :D

Speaking of kebab, initial support for the OnePlus 8T sent upstream! Including display and touch screen drivers which I'm really happy are in a somewhat upstreamable state.

Need to figure out the firmware situation in pmaports, but otherwise once these patches land it'll be one of the first devices supported exclusively by the postmarketos-trailblazer device with Linux next!

The Internet Archive is hiring a Director of Platform Engineering. In my opinion, this is the most crucial and important position we have had open at the company in some time. The right person in this position is not just helpful, but a make or break key between success and merely acceptable levels of technological advance for the archive. It's a non-profit level of pay but the work is world changing.

I'm in tears as I hear the news of Brandon Cole's passing. SuperBlindMan is a name synonymous with gaming, determination, and a fight for equality in an industry that until recently, has kept accessibility on the back burner. I'll forever miss his humor, his energy, his commitment to showing the world that games are for all players. I'm so blessed to have gotten to know him, however briefly in the digital sphere.
My heart goes out to his family, his loved ones, and the many lives he touched with his kindness and advocacy. We may not be able to fight every boss level, but Brandon has shown us that the game doesn't stop when people expect us to sit on the sidelines. I cherish his passion and contributions to society. He will always be loved, always missed.
His legacy will linger in the hearts of his family, friends and colleagues. It is up to the ones left behind to realize his mission and continue to spread the joy of gaming to all, despite their level of ability. Rest in peace, Brandon Cole. You will never be forgotten.

@mhussain Installing from ISOs you already have isn't what quickemu is for. You use quickget to download the installation image, then quickemu to run it with an optimised configuration. If you want to do your own thing, you can tinker with the generated config, but it's not a supported use case.

@marxjohnson thank you so much for your help! i was gripped on the epesode talking about alan's new voice! I hopefully will be able to use it with screen readers some day? he has a good voice perfect for reading out my fav webnovels ? and for navigation it would be good if you or martin made voices of your own! to think, it would be you emortal for ever. legends you are at present, but after, you will gain the title imortal legend! :)


PSA: If you're trying to run my Mac versions of my apps and they crash, try installing openssl with homebrew. This will be fixed in a later version of NVGT, hopefully soon, but for now if you have homebrew and it's added to your path, just run the following in a terminal:
brew install openssl

If Brew's not added to your path, but is installed, you can run:
/opt/Homebrew/bin/brew install openssl

You can get Homebrew from brew.sh

Habe gestern einmal ein paar Anregung hinsichtlich der Verbesserung der Zugänglichkeit einiger Elemente in der App #OsmAnd ans Entwicklerteam gemailt, bin mal gespannt.
@radiorobbe hat die App unter
schulle4u.github.io/awesome-an…
aufgenommen.
Ich könnte ja mal einen Text zu besagter App und #OpenStreetMap generell verfassen, der dann auf droidblind.de veröffentlicht werden könnte ...

@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.

(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)

Hin und wieder mal daran erinnern, dass noch bis zum 9. Oktober 2024 die #EU-#Bürgerinitiative #TaxTheRich läuft. Sie richtet sich an die Europäische Kommission und fordert diese auf, eine EU-weite Regelung für die Besteuerung hoher Vermögen einzuführen, um aus den so eingenommenen Geldern den schnelleren Umbau hin zu einer klimaneutralen und klimagerechten Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft zu finanzieren.

Aktuell (29. Juni) haben knapp 227.000 Menschen die Petition unterzeichnet. Das Ziel sind 1 Mio. Aber hey, wir sind eigentlich 500 Mio. Menschen in der EU. Also los!

Und schreibt solche Postings wie dieses hier auch ruhig mal in anderen Sprachen, die ihr beherrscht, und die in der EU gesprochen werden.

Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!

- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)
