I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
Thank you.

@Conan_Kudo I wonder if it would make sense to use a portal for that interface, even though assistive technologies like Orca are not currently sandboxed, and it arguably doesn't make sense to try to sandbox them.
The D-Bus interface definition in question is here: gitlab.gnome.org/mwcampbell/mu… Yeah, not documented yet.

@jadahl We've had a need for it ever since the Remote Desktop portal was introduced. We also have requests for it for the Input Capture portal. We even have requests for it for the Screenshot and Screencast portals! It's not theoretical, these requests go back *years*.
And frankly, every single portal should be capable of pre-authorization. It should be in the xdg-desktop-portal frontend interface itself. Instead, the backends have to hack together crappy workarounds to do it themselves.
@jadahl Don't get me wrong, the portal infrastructure is useful, but it has big gaping holes in the design and interaction model because people keep thinking of it as a Flatpak-oriented system.
We need to stop thinking of it that way because it *isn't* that anymore. It's used for system software all over the place. It's *required* for Wayland environments now.
It needs to be treated as the user interaction hot path it is.
@jadahl xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a policy of only implementing portals to bridge to Wayland protocols. This is because the wlroots developers do not like having D-Bus as a mandatory dependency. Every portal must be connected to a Wayland protocol.
The only portals implemented are screenshot and screencast, and only partially at that (you cannot select individual windows because the Wayland protocol wlroots uses for this does not support it).
@jadahl As an example of a highly desired portal that will never get implemented in xdg-desktop-portal-wlr: the Global Shortcuts portal.
The discussion in the project issue exemplifies this policy: github.com/emersion/xdg-deskto…
Currently there is a portal for registering global shortcuts in the works for xdg-desktop-portal v1.16. I've just created this issue here to: Gather opinions on how this might want to be implemente...GitHub

This is not a good idea.
There are many people still using 32-bit Windows,
If a new cipher suite is deployed and they have an old curl that does not support it, then they can be stuck.

Quantum-resistant or post-quantum cryptography is our best bet against attacks from upcoming quantum computers to increase security and privacy.Tutanota
Not... really.
The blog post says what projects are being used to encrypt, but the only mention of how is one sentence about that they use problems considered "too difficult" for a quantum computer to figure out. There's no mention, not even a sentence, of what kind of problem or why it would be difficult, which is exactly what I'm wondering.

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.

@noracodes@tenforward.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al @zeorin@indieweb.social For now: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/merge_requests/99People Making Games
@Myles124 @nah @sonny @matt Messaging from people involved in GNOME here and in the linked merge request has been mixed:
1. The MR author proposed blocking on this accessibility issue.
2. A reviewer replied that blocking on this issue is acceptable *provided someone else works on it*.
3. One contributor argued that accessibility is important but should not be treated as a strict requirement.
4. A GNOME Foundation director said it is a strict requirement.
@Myles124 @nah @sonny @matt Well, you can read up in this conversation to find arguments stating that it’s regrettable if there are accessibility regressions but so is the life of this volunteer-led project.
I’ve argued against those arguments, and am happy that GNOME leadership also disagrees with those arguments. I’m hoping this also translates to written requirements and norms, both in this specific merge request and in the GNOME Foundation and Project's guidelines.
