Accessibility is an area #Mixxx has struggled with for a long time, and as an all-volunteer project we have struggled to recruit devs to address it. If you have a passion for accessibility and are interested in a chance to have a big impact, hit us up.

AI is massively accelerating environmental crisis

AI Boom Drives 150% Surge in Indirect Emissions at Major Tech Firms, UN Warns

Amazon’s emissions spiked the most—up 182%—with Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet also posting triple-digit growth.

Without aggressive intervention, AI-linked emissions could reach 102.6M metric tons of CO₂e annually, straining energy grids globally.

#a11y Experts, I've a question:
How is the the state of #hidden #content support in 2025?
That seems outdated:
stevefaulkner.github.io/HTML5a…
I wish to display a list of words only for #screenreader users.

It will be the real text content for a canvas element (wordcloud). I hope, I can it make #accessible for #blind users.

Or is there a better way to provide the word list?

Maybe @SteveFaulkner@mastodon.social have an idea?

Přátelé, kamarádi i nepřátelé a nekamarádi :)

Pokud tvoříte, nebo chcete tvořit obsah na #VHSky a potřebujete se poradit, nebo nám jen doporučit nějakej kanál, kterej ještě nemirrorujem, tak nám @Archos nahodil #Matrix místnost právě pro tyto případy.

Často se mi stává, že mě kontaktujete DM tady na #Fediverse, tohle bude funkčnější, rychlejší a možná někdo zareaguje rychleji, než já :)

Apple’s ‘liquid glass’ contrast hilarity is now a bullet on my post “I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did”

Please please PLEASE do not copy Aero, er, Glass in your Figmas.

For anyone tempted to respond with the apologist's de facto, “but it’s beta!”, you can get into the sea.

I don’t accept failures like this in MVPs, so beta is even more offensive.

Incidentally, the company unleashing a new wave of contrast problems on the web (see today’s Codepen Spark for liquid glass copycats) is also the company that seems uninterested in supporting `prefers-reduced-transparency`:

Seriously thinking about going to INIT HELLO (init-hello.org/), the new conference for fans of the Apple II family of computers. On the one hand, I'm not really seriously into retro-computing. On the other hand, I do dabble in it (I have a working Apple II emulation setup using MAME), and I grew up with an Apple IIGS at home and Apple IIe at school, so it sounds like a fun nerdy thing to do over a weekend (plus two days off work for travel there and back).

Czech-speaking friends, how legit is supraphonline.cz/ for buying FLAC albums?

Dear Fedi friends,

By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…

I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

GNOME Has a New Infrastructure Partner: Welcome AWS!

discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-ha…

With an ever-growing contributor base, GNOME infrastructure has an increasing number of demands placed on it — and only two engineers. AWS saved us from the burden of manually scaling our infra. Thank you AWS!

With macOS Tahoe, you can now dictate Swift code, and navigate Xcode with Voice Control. Designed for developers with limited use of the keyboard, we strived to make the experience natural and intuitive. Just say the code like you're talking to a person, and let Voice Control handle the formatting for you.

Please check out the demo video (starts at 03:10), and give it a try. We can't wait to hear what you think.

Colour palette support for charts in #LibreOffice is coming! Along with many other improvements: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #OpenSource

LibreOffice

@rzeta0 Don't just hope – help to make it happen! We love improvements too but we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. We get a huge amount of requests to implement or improve things but unfortunately little help. Please consider joining our community or funding a developer: documentfoundation.org/certifi… – Thank you! 😊

We have packaged MapComplete as an Android app (available for testing on app.mapcomplete.org)

We are however also looking to get it published into the Google Play Store - but are facing difficulties. @pietervdvn (who will maintain this) can't get verified. Does someone have hints on what documents to submit?

Or is there someone out there whom already _has_ a verified developer account who want to publish the apps on our behalf? (Maybe @streetcomplete , @vespucci_editor or @CoMaps ?)

in reply to MapComplete

In our feed there are some interesting horrible stories about Play Store against our Free Software app. Good luck with Google semestral censorship surprises.
F-Droid is honestly very slow in releasing each tagged version (e.g. 4-5 days) but we still love F-Droid.

Congratulations 🍾 app are nightmares. We hope only the best after this choice.

(tip: toot about Google/F-Droid issues, people is happy to help also on fediverse)

Telegram wirbt mit Sicherheit – doch laut einer Recherche kontrolliert ein russischer Netzwerktechniker namens Vedeneev große Teile der Infrastruktur, inklusive IP-Adressen und Serverzugang. Seine Firmen kooperierten mit FSB & Militär. Selbst »Ende-zu-Ende«-Chats lassen sich laut Experten zur Nutzerverfolgung ausnutzen. 👇

🛑 Do we really want to build our digital infrastructure on platforms that can be switched off at the stroke of a pen in Washington?

❌ Do not let the Trojan horse through the gate!

✅ The solutions exist, built here in Europe.

🇪🇺 It’s time for authorities and public institutions to walk the talk on strategic autonomy. Adopt sovereign European services – now.

I tried on my PC and it didn't work, same with my phone but with my phone using mobile data it works so I can only think it's something ISP related maybe? I did try the ping command prompt and got a timed out so yeah very strange.

Just to check I tried with Firefox (main browser), chrome and edge and all of them didn't load the webpage.

Ráda se otužuje – nejen ve svém kariérním životě.“ Tahle věta mně napadla, když jsem doplňoval popis zítřejší přednášky s @evapavlikova

Nedávno uspěla v otevřeném výběrovém řízení na vrchní ředitelku IT na Ministerstvo pro místní rozvoj, kde od března čelí nové, náročné misi.

Když to napsala na LinkedIn, v komentářích se ochotně nabídla, že by mohla juniorům přiblížit, jak se dá pracovat ve státní správě.
