GNOME update: Orca works noticeably better with Xorg compared to Wayland. I'm getting UI changes reported much more reliably. Even messages in Discord get read out in a more pleasant format
Recently, for Digital Wellbeing we merged notification improvements. Other feature work that will allow parents to better set their kids screen time by not allowing kids to unlock the screen and allow parents to extend screen time as needed is under review.
Digital Wellbeing helps parents encourage safe and healthy habits for their kids. These are features that are funded by the GNOME Foundation. #DigitalWellbeing #FriendsofGNOME
Once a year I get a wedge of this whiskey and wheat encrusted aged cheese and eat it slowly myself over a week with some fancy wine.
What a treat!
The wine, les Rouvrettes, is from Savigny-Les-Beaumes domaine-girard.com/en/produit/… and is very sentimental as it was the first night on our first romantic holiday my now partner of 24 years and I had together.
Savigny les Beaune 1er Cru Our 1st Crus are all aged in oak barrels for about 15 months. Serve these wines between 15 and 17 ° C. In a limpid and brilliant cherry red, our first Savigny Crus generally have an intense nose marked by fruity notes.
Ich hab zwei Fragen an @delta: Erstens, kann ich einen Account zu einem anderen Server umziehen oder muss ich einen neuen erstellen und allen Kontakten den neuen Account mitteilen und zweitens antifa.style/@walsonde/1158051…
Spricht eigentlich irgendwas gegen #Delta Chat? Ich mein, #Signal ist toll, aber Meredith Whittaker hat bereits angekündigt, dass sie sich aus Europa zurückziehen werden, sollte die #Chatkontrolle kommen.
Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.
Screen reader users experiencing infinite hangs when composing messages in Thunderbird may wish to try the latest Thunderbird Daily build. I'm not certain yet, but some reports suggest that my speculative fixes may have addressed this problem.
I cannot say this authoritatively, but I inquired about the scope of the gpg.fail vulnerabilities that affect GnuPG (and at least one also affecting Sequioa, a Rust PGP implementation) to see if any of these things are a concern for DeltaChat and the response was that they are all out of scope for how DeltaChat uses PGP.
also DeltaChat uses rpgp, not GnuPG or Sequioa, and rpgp has been audited a couple times.

fact check: false. if company is coming over and the kitchen is full of dirty dishes, you need to "do the dishes" even if that's just putting them in a machine.

I've noticed, of late, NVDA randomly freezes on my production machine, when at home, simply pressing control+alt+N restarts NVDA and all is well, but this naturally does not work when accessing the machine remotely. I can connect, but can't read or control anything. Is there some way to trap whatever leads up to this, and if so, report this semi-crash to someone who would find such information useful?
I'm guessing you mean that pressing Ctrl+Alt+N to restart NVDA doesn't work when connecting remotely *with NVDA Remote*. I expect that it would work when connecting with RIM. Or have you found that that's not the case either?
@matt If this keeps happening, I'll get rem and find out. When I’m working locally, I can start narrator, and enough of NVDA hangs around to create key conflicts. It just doesn’t talk.
@twynn @matt Perhaps at some point, once I'm home and am able to restart NVDA myself. Like I said, no input is received nor output spoken. Now that I think of it, most of hte time this it locks is when I'm using firefox, but haven't tried with other browsers yet.
I have this issue when using ear cons and speech rules but you probably don't use this addon remotely. Symptoms are the same, nvda freezes and I have to se ctrl+alt+n to restart.
Apple’s annual New Year Sale is back in Japan, bringing Apple Gift Cards worth up to ¥38,000 (roughly $255) and a free limited-edition AirTag on select iPhone purchases. Here are the details.
I've heard recently that there are plans to deprecate #gnome #gtk in favour of #tcltk. My source said that by 2027, most projects will have migrated from GTK to Tcl/Tk. Are you prepared for the switch over? @ebassi
Some time ago I mentioned that we went through the curl source code and eventually got rid of all strncpy() calls. strncpy() is a weird function with a crappy API. It might not null terminate the destination and it pads the target buffer with zeroes.
So I think I would like to root my Pixel Tablet, but I've heard you need to do a clean sweep of the device. Any recommendations to: 1. How I could back up my data, safely! 2. How to root, and the most straightforward and trustworthy way to go about it.
I've been using sound recognition on my phone all day, because my ears are particularly bad right now. One of the boxes I have checked is "siren". Well, I forgot that my dad likes to watch a lot of cop shows. So many notifications...
I'm about to buy a flashlight for 80€ (Olight Baton 4). I don't know whether it's just stupid and I could actually get cheaper stuff, but honestly I can always return it I guess and tonight I really needed a good one and had non.

Noticable updates: MyLocation had a "foss release" again, and Tactile Clock an update after a year's break.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
it's crazy that we do this. Sometimes my dog refuses to eat her chicken until it has been washed again or set out for a while (as the chlorine will break down, faster with direct UV light). She must be able to smell it even when we can't.
Interstellar is a Fediverse client for Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed accounts. Having found the final culprit that kept it from being RB (after 6 months, and it was just a single thing to toggle! RBs can be bitches sometimes…), we finally succeeded
So raising the bar a little again, RB status is now at 774 apps (60.5%)
As some of you know, I like aggregating data. So here are some random numbers about GNOME in 2025. This post is not about making any point with the numbers I’m sharing. It’s just for fun. So, what...
Hey Fedi, what does everyone think about DuckDuckGo's own browser as an alternative to Firefox? Anyone know how well stuff transfers or how cooperative it is in terms of #accessibility ? #a11y #askfedi
OK, so I said this before, but sometimes I really hate being blind. On the flipside though, when I watch a show or movie with audio description and it's well done, I sometimes get more information than sighted people.
For example, when Apple TV+ released Hijack, many of the discussions I saw on Reddit were confused about which character was which. I personally found it really easy to follow the plot, because the AD writer was really good about keeping on top of all the fast paced action going on throughout. Also for shows like The Mandalorian or really any Marvel movie, it seems like the description company and studio worked together when creating the AD track. To me, they come across as higher quality and feel more like a part of the show / movie than other descriptive tracks I've heard.
Oh honestly... So I make a mistake during a game of 1000 miles, meaning I get trounced. Then I accidentally shut down the computer when instead, I'm trying to copy files from my downloads. And then my bleeping computer almost goes and puts me back on the shut down button a second time. Yet, trust @daygar to make me laugh out loud twice in five minutes. Perfect antidote dot com!
I saw my aunt this weekend. I always admired her growing up: she was a dedicated dancer, bird watcher, traveler, and general arts-enjoyer. I took up ballet and piano because I wanted to be just like her.
I just found out that she started all of those hobbies after she got sober in her 40s, shortly before I was born. Her defining characteristics, in my eyes, have occupied less than half of her life.
It was a nice reminder that you can start a new chapter of your life whenever you’d like.
