#FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection, a convenient way to install applications. Some ports allow users to configure options before building and installing. By default, this configuration is done through an interactive menu in the terminal.

To improve readability and #Accessibility especially for users with low vision or color blindness, it's important to offer simple and customizable color options. These features have recently been implemented and documented in the preview version of the FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook:
freebsd-accessibility-9d667f.g…

The next step is to extend these features to all terminal-based graphical components.

I'd love to hear from you:
Do you use any accessibility features in the terminal?
Which color-related assistive technologies make the biggest difference in your daily workflow?

Together, we can make FreeBSD more accessible for everyone. #ThePowerForEveryone #FreeBSD #Accessibility #OpenSource #LowVision #ColorBlindness #AssistiveTechnology #AccessibilityMatters

Screenshot showing four different terminal windows running the FreeBSD Ports Collection configuration menu for Vim. Each window demonstrates a different color scheme, illustrating the newly implemented color customization options for improved accessibility. The configurations include toggles for language support and ctags options, with varying background and text colors to enhance readability for users with different visual needs.

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

Na (re)kole Prahou

Po městě jezdím na kole běžně. Do práce to je pro mě nejlepší způsob dopravy. S autem často nezaparkuju a MHD trvá déle. Co když ale nemá člověk kolo zrovna u sebe nebo je v cizím městě? Poprvé jsem vyzkoušel sdílená kola a byl příjemně překvapený.

🧵 So to recap something that happened yesterday, as I see it:

Yesterday Mastodon gGmbH sent out an email to mastodon.social and .online users announcing a new TOS. The TOS would take effect July 1, and would ship in the next version of the Mastodon server software as a suggested "template" TOS instances could adopt.

This TOS had multiple problems, and several people said so loudly. This morning, Mastodon announced they're backing off and taking additional legal advice:

mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1147…

Mastodon (@Mastodon@mastodon.social)

We've heard your feedback on the Terms of Service updates for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, and we're pausing the implementation date (previously announced to users via email as 1st July 2025) so we can take further advice and make improvemen…

We are ending the era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe for good!

We have proposed a gradual phase-out of Russian gas and oil imports, to be completed by the end of 2027.

This will cut energy and economic risks tied to Russian supply, while ensuring stable and secure energy for all EU countries.

Our proposal protects markets, limits price impacts, and strengthens the EU’s energy independence.

Let's turn off the tap on Russian fossil fuels in Europe for good.

ℹ️ europa.eu/!CrrR3m

An image shows two sets of pipes, one red and one blue, with a message that reads: "Our reliance on Russian energy ends here." On the bottom right, blue pipes are connected and also move downwards. The European Commission logo is visible in the top right corner.

Commission proposes gradual phase-out of Russian gas and oil imports into the EU

The EU will gradually and effectively stop the import of Russian gas and oil by the end of 2027, under a legislative proposal put forward by the European Commission today.

Bluesky are openly welcoming, verifying and hosting accounts of prominent far right politicians. Trump's VP Vance is now on Bluesky:

bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bs…

"We welcome the Vice President to the conversation on Bluesky" (Bluesky in their email to Fox News)

More 🚩: Bluesky is centralised, run by a for-profit corporation, its CEO has blockchain background, it is partly owned by VCs & Blockchain Capital.

Bluesky are going down exactly the same Nazi Bar path as Twitter.

bitsets are cool.

My favourite addition to curl this year, by far. We use them to track and iterate over thousands of transfers.

They are very cheap (memory and cpu) and great for cache locality. Also, they can be iterated over safely while being modified.

The latest addition is the „dirty“ set: transfers that need to run without external triggers like a socket event or timers.

A bitset for 1000 transfers has a 125 bytes array memory footprint.

* The post-copy beep frequency and duration are now configurable.
* In NVDA 2025.1 and higher, speech history items can be viewed and copied in a browse mode window. The default keystroke for this function is NVDA+H.

Yo, real talk—what the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off?

We've seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon “I-play-God” Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ain’t just a glitch—it’s strategic, it’s repression, and it’s a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both.

I’ve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #Starlink to stay connected in remote areas. And yeah, it’s wild that you can be deep in the bush and still shitpost from a mountaintop—but that signal still runs through a pipeline owned by a Nazi tech bro.

We need to be talking more about mesh networks, autonomous infrastructure, all that good shit that anarchist tech nerds have been yelling about for years. Decentralized, resilient, community-controlled comms aren’t just cool—they’re necessary for survival.

Let’s keep this convo alive and start building the lifelines before the next blackout. Shit’s coming fast.

"… we've seen masked federal agentsn in tactical gear, ordered into our communities. We've seen a disturbing pattern of increasingly extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations targeting nonviolent people, at places of worship, at schools,
in courthouses, all to meet an arbitrary quota."
