Is it groovy that #Microsoft has such an engaged #accessibility team? Yup. Is it a downer that they continue to post on a platform that fired its entire accessibility team and killed off the third-party accessibility tools, while ignoring this one? Hell yup. So if you missed it, here’s their #GAAD blog post. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-iss…

Tl'dr #rustlang is a great collaboration opportunity for @gnome and @kde.

A long long time ago, #freedesktop initiative was created for precisely this goal. While in many ways it was a success story (especially in terms of establishing standards), it came short in one specific aspect: code collaboration.

Most freedesktop (all?) projects were and are almost exclusively developed and maintained by GNOME folks. That's not very surprising, given that C (being that lowest common denominator) had to be the programming language of choice. Just like most GNOME folks wouldn't want to touch C++, KDE folks don't particularly enjoy coding in C either. I know both have their reasons and the point here is not to play the blame game here.

There is not much point in dwelling in the past here but if we decide to write all future infrastructure/non-UI projects (that would have otherwise been written in C or C++) in Rust, there's a great potential for collaboration, I believe.

Talk is cheap, you could say and I agree. Hence why I've taken some steps in this direction already: github.com/dbus2/

Purism is excited to announce that anyone who owns a qualified smartphone can port their voice and data services, including their existing phone number, to Purism by purchasing the Librem AweSIM, a VPN for cellular like service.

Unlike AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, MetroPCS and Cricket, Purism’s Librem AweSIM does not support unified customer identifiers based on customer account information (name, address, billing information) or unique identifiers on your mobile devices.

Earlier this year we got into a surprising and somewhat annoying struggle with Web browser sandboxing failures related to our "web apps shared in a chat" feature. After much background work we released the hardened Delta Chat 1.36 series, also addressing a dedicated fourth independent security audit, and can finally share more of what was going on behind the scenes delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…

“AI threatens to deepen the dominance of a way of thinking that is white, male, comparatively affluent and focused on the US and Europe.”
"An industry brimming with people who espouse liberal, self-consciously progressive opinions so often seems to push the world in the opposite direction."

Let's tell the world about #LibreOffice and free software! Our Spanish-speaking community was at the recent esLibre Conference, and helped to spread the word: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #opensource #community #office

Good morning trunkies! The sky is blue (not yellow!), the birds are singing, and I don't feel like hell. I have coffee and drugs in me, just trying to decide how to spend my limited spoons today.

Here's (hopefully) 20 seconds of the birds just givin'er outside my window this morning. (first attempt at posting an audio track)

Just like #Firefox, you can add your own custom start page to #Thunderbird. What are some of your favorite start pages?

"Válka na Ukrajině po sobě zanechává nejen zpustošená města a zmařené lidské životy, ale také opuštěná, zraněná nebo nemocná zvířata. Domácí i volně žijící. V Záporožské oblasti pro ně vybudovali obrovský útulek, kterému v těžkých časech pomáhá česká organizace Psí život."

"Today, a decade-long (2013 - 2023) case on Meta's involvement in US mass surveillance has lead to a first direct decision. Meta must stop any further transfers of European personal data to the United States, given that Meta is subject to US surveillance laws (like FISA 702). The EDPB had largely overturned the Irish DPC's decision, insisting on a record fine and that previously transferred data must be brought back to the EU."

ENCUESTA | PP y PSOE frenan su caída mientras Sumar y Podemos crecen.

El proyecto de Yolanda Díaz y el partido de Belarra añaden un punto a sus estimaciones con respecto a los datos de abril, mientras la pelea entre bloques se dirimirá por unas pocas décimas eldiario.es/politica/pp-psoe-f…

Hoy en el BOE, tenemos algo que rara vez se ve y que está muy bien. Se trata de un acuerdo por el que se reduce la subvención concedida como incentivo regional a una empresa que incumplió, concretamente Cepsa Química SA en Andalucía, por no invertir 17 millones de euros que tenía comprometidos: boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=B…

Aparte de eso, una serie de convocatorias de premios de la AEPD, locomotoras declaradas bienes de interés cultural en Cataluña, la cettrería como bien de interés cultural en Extremadura, información pública de un proyecto de restauración hidrológica forestal de las cuencas vertientes al Mar Menor, y, por último, un montonazo de sentencias del constitucional, que tendréis que mirar si queréis el detalle.

No estaba al tanto de esa faceta de los centros de educación especial, pero tiene su lógica. En todo caso la ley tenía una transitoria de diez años, nada menos, para adaptar los centros generales a la educación inclusiva. Espero que se esté en eso.
