How did I vote in the federal election on the weekend? The simple answer? I didn't. Why? Because blind people in Australia still can't vote without a middle man. someone between us and our ballots, filling them in for us.
🗳️ Blind and vision impaired Australians still can’t vote independently — and that’s not just unfair, it’s undemocratic.
We deserve to vote privately, safely, and with dignity.
It’s time for real, accessible options — braille ballots, secure phone voting, equal rights.

Keynote Announcement: Dr. Richard Stallman
libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/…
On Wednesday, May 28th at 19:30, Dr. Richard Stallman will deliver a keynote on Free/Libre Software and Freedom in the Digital Society at Libre Graphics Meeting.
See the details in the linked announcement regarding admission to the talk.
I also included a personal note on the decision, as I received mixed feedback.

standing up to bullies and against the injustice they promote through violence nearly always makes sense. that they choose violence to force others to join their character assassination campaigns is already a red flag that you don't wish to be on their side. that they demand swift submission, to deny people a chance to look into the facts, is more evidence that their violent tactics are not means to promote justice. now, of course, being a victim of their violence says nothing about you or anything who stood on their path is innocent; only looking into the facts can accomplish that. which is why they have to stop you so forcefully from seeking facts, isolating their victim and anyone else who defies their violence. it's really ugly, and it takes courage to stand up to them. but for anyone who cares about justice and against censorship and violence, standing up to them is the only move that makes any sense
(there are also plenty people tied up in false beliefs about the victims, induced by violence; whether they're mere victims of falsehoods or accomplices to the campaign of violence hinges on how they respond when called out for the violence they're participating in)

So I was browsing the Internet today, and so I found some weird script someone made for Linux which takes a screenshot and describes it with Gemini. As usual, read the script before running it and all that, I obviously wasn't the one who created it because I don't code, so I cannot answer any questions about it or make new features or anything like that. But yeah I mean it's also AI, so don't use it, and Linux will obviously be filled with slop because of this awful person who added A11yAI to Linux, but yeah here it is:

PeerTube have updated their official app, you can now sign in with a PeerTube account 🥳
Unfortunately Apple & Google are being crap:
Apple App Store users can only sign in on the built-in server list, Apple won't allow manually adding servers
Google Play users can manually add unlisted servers
F-Droid users get a *much* wider server list and can add servers manually
You can avoid app store problems by using PeerTube's web app: fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-a…

It’s alive! Welcome to the new Planet GNOME!
A few months ago, I announced that I was working on a new implementation of Planet GNOME, powered by GitLab Pages. This work has reached a point where we’re ready to flip the switch and replace the old Planet website.
You can check it out at planet.gnome.org
This was only possible thanks to various other contributors, such as Jakub Steiner, who did a fantastic job with the design and style, and Alexandre Franke, who helped with various papercuts, ideas, and improvements.
As with any software, there might be regressions and issues. It would be a great help if you report any problems you find at gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Website…
Here’s to blogs, RSS feeds, and the open web!
[WIP] This is an implementation of Planet that uses a static website/feed generator and publishes as GitLab Pages Publishing address https://teams.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/websites/planet.gnome.org...GitLab
Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
