Sorry, I meant to ask if there's anything you'd want for test automation, or any aspects of AT-SPI that you particularly dislike (I assume you currently have to use AT-SPI to find buttons etc.). I do have experience with accessibility; I'm visually impaired myself, and I wrote a third-party Windows screen reader and later worked on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft.

@matt Ooops, how embarrassing - I completely misunderstood your question then! Sorry for that!
I'll ask a contact about AT-SPI specifically, but my impression was that these things were always used with some abstraction on top of AT-SPI in a larger test framework. One definite issue with AT-SPI is the documentation (more would always help, since it is very complex).
Some smaller apps I know now use QTest, which uses Qt internals for testing, so no AT-SPI is involved there.

On the topic of window placement, forgive me if this has already been discussed and rejected, but how about an extension that lets applications assign persistent IDs to windows? Then, each time the application creates a window with a particular ID, the window manager can place that window at a saved position for that ID. That'd require toolkits and applications to change, but thinking about this as an app developer, I like the idea.

See, this is exactly the problem here. The blog posts makes it seem like all the people involved in wayland don't care about making the applications work well on wayland. We suggested that this protocol can be used with another new protocol to solve 90% of the use cases. This was dismissed because of the missing 10%. Instead of pushing the protocol that everyone wants we now have another protocol that doesn't go anywhere.

For a variety of cases it's desirable to have a method for negotiating the restoration of previously-used states for a client's windows. This helps for e.g., a compositor/client...

@matt This is in a way the session-management protocol.
But consider this: What if an application has an IDE layout[1] or a layout like GIMP's multi-window mode where windows need to be initilly placed in relation to each other? What if a window needs to show up next to a UI control, like for docked windows in docked UIs or for picture-in-picture displays?
For that, the compositor at least needs to know an initial placement as well, restoration-only will not work.

Time for another #FediBlock round:

marsey.moe: new Soapbox instance that appears to be the new home of boks.moe after the latter got filtered by OpenDNS. It’s close to the the.asbestos.cafe/glee.li communities. If you suspended boks.moe, you might want to consider this one.

  • Receipts for racism and other bigotry from the old instance: one, two, three, four, five. Paulo is the admin and Tomato has staff privileges; both are on marsey.moe now.
  • More receipts in the quoted post at the end, but many of the links probably won’t work anymore unless your instance has cached the posts.

freespeech.fans: freeze peach.

  • “About” page says: “Free Speech Fans is a server for those of us that want to speak and live freely. There is no need to fear being deplatformed or canceled here. If our discourse offends you then you must remember that being here is a choice.”
  • No rules beyond US law.

kyun.host: subdomains m and ck.

  • A lot of r/drama-like “ironic” bigotry against Romani, trans, and other groups.
  • Feel free to scroll through admin account “naphtha” on either instance for more receipts.

Some #FediBlock entries:
plagu.ee: same reasons as ryona.agency.
  • Block notification bot, so don’t block individual users yourself if your instance federates blocks (Mastodon does by default). Also rejects deletes.
  • Racial slurs in the keyword policies (instance-wide word replacements).
  • Appears to be run by “mint”, the admin of ryona.agency and current maintainer of FBA (the blocklist scraper + search engine + notifier). My reasoning: it’s the same username, mutuals with each other, same custom MRF policies, same circle of friends, and the user is known for having many alts with the same username. Check mint on ryona.agency if you need more receipts.

boks.moe: hosts users from bae.st, breastmilk.club, rdrama.cc, beefyboys.win, etc. and making troll accounts on other instances.

  • Racial slurs in concerning contexts: from an admin, same admin and a user, again.
  • Creating troll accounts on another instance with the intention of rule-breaking for the lulz. Follow-up.
  • While this instance doesn’t appear to be intended for block-evasion, it has (probably unintentionally?) had that effect since most members come from widely-suspended instances and have appeared in the mentions of some friends of mine who had blocked their original homes. Them getting frustrated prompted me to post this a bit earlier than I planned to.

I had someone send me angry messages and a dick pic on Facebook because he got spam from a system that happened to be running Virtualmin (OSS hosting control panel software I work on) and they saw the site disabled page which has our logo on it. The dick pic came after I explained politely what our software does. That's not the only crazy messages I've gotten, by any means, but it was certainly memorable. And, I deleted our Facebook page because of it. Nothing good ever happens there.

Delighted to read that AudioEye has dropped its ludicrous lawsuit against @aardrian and "agreed to make a financial contribution of no less than $10,000 to National Federation for the Blind". Hopefully they will also send Adrian on a lovely 2 month holiday and pay for every punk gig he ever wants to attend (plus beers), to apologise. He's truly one of the best people in the accessibility world. adrianroselli.com/2024/01/audi…

I admit that I feel salty about the word “enshittification” taking off instead of my phrase for the same thing: “user domestication”. I prefer the latter because it emphasizes the gross disrespect so many platforms show their users, and how the lack of autonomy/mobility naturally leads to enshittification.

Any platform able to get away with enshittification will do so when given the incentive. Enshittification emphasizes the process of a platform’s downfall; we should be taking steps to prevent that from happening in the first place by keeping platforms open. Vigilance against enshittification is misplaced when better spent against user domestication.

I've been drinking tap water since forever as it was always safe where I lived, and in the few places where it wasn't we used filtration. As a family we did mostly because bottled water is expensive, polluting and impractical.

Now we know it's also potentially harmful to your health: euronews.com/green/2024/01/09/…


Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought

Researchers cut their bottled water use after shocking discovery of a quarter of a million tiny plastic pieces per litre.

Some extremely exciting news: Google Fonts is funding four developers from the open source community to work on Rust UI in 2024. Goals include demonstrating extremely high performance, using Vello for GPU-accelerated 2D rendering, and a port to Android.

All the work is in the open, and we look forward to working with others in the Rust UI ecosystem.

More details here: linebender.org/blog/xilem-2024… I'm excited about what we'll build together!
