If you are an EU citizen you should sign the currently ongoing European Citizens Initiative on the banning of conversion therapy. If it reaches 1 million signatures and passes the threshold for signatures from 7 member countries, the EU commision will consider drafting a proposal on this matter, which is the first step to getting legislation.
Today's #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid does not bring you any new apps (but 12 updated ones). Instead I had focused on the monthly cleanup action: several apps added fastlane so that was integrated, others stopped updating (no commits for more than a year) and got demoted to monthly checks, again others were archived and got their updates disabled (plus a proper hint added to their description) – and so on. Hope this helps you enjoying the #IzzyOnDroid repo
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
With Chrome announcing support for UIA, it might be worth retesting some of your patterns with Narrator, Voice Access, Magnifier: developer.chrome.com/blog/wind…
I didn't think UIA was quite mature, but I am also old enough to forget Windows’ prior but somehow also current #accessibility APIs. So I may simply be wrong.
We’ll explain more in the opening keynote at PyCon US but officially Black Python Devs is now a US nonprofit for those who have been wanting to show their support you can also do that financially at blackpythondevs.com
Google is experimenting with "showing people links to websites." This revolutionary feature is hidden under the "More" tab as AI search moves closer to becoming the default
Další debata o spojování krajů. Asi by to stálo za změnu, ale tentokrát dobře promyšlenou. A divil bych se, kdyby na tom byla dostatečná politická shoda. #politika #odemceno
Je to necelý rok, kdy poslanec TOP 09 Miloš Nový překvapil nápadem zrušit Karlovarský kraj. Mnoho Karlovarských to tehdy vnímalo jako snahu získat si pozornost v době, kdy region zrovna žil událostí sezony – Mezinárodním filmovým festivalem.
We commend CVS Pharmacy for working with us to provide accessible alternatives to MinuteClinic--touchscreen-operated kiosks that have risen in popularity throughout their stores. They pledged to phase out these kiosks, and to provide accessible alternatives (accessible tablets, assistants, etc.) over the next eighteen months. They have also pledged to work with the Federation to ensure the accessibility of these options. Read more in our press release: nfb.org/about-us/press-room/bl…
What is alt text? Alternative text (or alt text, in short) is the text you can use to describe an image when you publish it on your website or social media.
@JEkis Very kind of you to say, I really appreciate the support!
I generally agree with the idea of "nothing about us without us". You do want to make sure that your actions actually help people you advocate for, so at least consulting with the appropriate communities should definitely be done.
Which I did, through posting about my work with relevant hashtags, so, you know. Doing my best here, I suppose.
Has following this account and/or visiting https://alttexthalloffame.org given you a better understanding of the importance of alt text?
[ ] Yes!
[ ] A little bit
[ ] Not really
[ ] Not interested

If you’ve visited the Thunderbird website, maybe you’ve noticed something. Is it more modern? More organized? Dare we say it, a little shinier? ✨
@freehive has worked their magic on our website. Read all about the changes, check out the new and much improved site yourself, and add Freehive to your contacts for whenever you or your project needs a creative agency! 🎨
@nclm Seriously, thanks for helping us find these things to help make our shiny new site better. (And thank you, Freehive, for answering all of these! You are seriously our MVP of the week.)
@fubaroque We know reporting things twice is a pain. We'll be monitoring our socials for any issues - and of course, we're always grateful for any bug reports!
@hund Thanks for reporting this and sharing with screencaps! This looks like mobile FF - do you mind sharing if this is Android or iOS? We can go ahead and file an issue on Github
no podle mě to už bylo jedno, jestli někdo sázel, tak sázel 1 (čili výhra Finska), a mohl to roztrhat už předtím. A ten gól padl dvě setiny sekundy před koncem. Velmi epic. Tady s finským komentářem: x.com/ViaplayUrheilu/status/17…
„Atmosféra je mimořádně vyhrocená. Ministr vnitra říká, že se posílí ochrana politiků, ale i médií, o nichž titíž vládní politici říkají, že za ten pokus o vraždu mohou. Některé redakce už svým kolegům nařídily pracovat z domova,“ komentuje situaci na Slovensku šéfredaktor týdeníku @respekt_cz Erik Tabery. irozhlas.cz/zpravy-svet/kdyz-j…

We hope you’re all as excited as we are about listening to the 72‼️ songs featured in #Fedivision2024 this year. The playlist will be live at fedivision.party two days from now, this Sunday, and run for the following week. You can also listen on the @radiofreefedi popup channel. This is when listeners can vote for their favourite songs by messaging the vote bot at @vote! Stay tuned for details. #Fedivision
Musicians: when voting opens at 13.00 UTC Sunday, you’ll want to drum up as many votes from the fedipublic for your entry as possible. Advertise the four-letter voting code for your song far and wide!

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.
For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!

Microsofts zunehmenden Windows-Gängeleien entkommen Sie mit einem Wechsel auf Linux. Wir empfehlen Distributionen und zeigen, wie Sie den Umzug meistern.
@teezeh … denke ich sofort an GTK3 Anwendungen unter KDE, oder GTK2 Anwendungen auf einem aktuellen Gnome-Desktop? Joa, da müssen wir wohl ein wenig nachsichtig sein. Zumindest die Richtung stimmt aber – verzeihen wir ihnen also diesen Schnitzer 😉
Vielleicht mit der Begründung das "viele" ja nicht "alle" heißt, und sich tatsächlich jede DE um eine Suite von Programmen kümmert. "Luft nach Oben" gibt es natürlich definitiv auch hier.
I'm more of a reader than a writer in 'Mastodon Space' but today I bring you something that those people I follow may not have heard of: what's likely to be the first attempt at a space suit, designed as early as 1936 in Spain. It was to be tested with a hot air balloon but unfortunately the whole thing had to be scrapped due to the Civil War. One piece of the original suit has now been found. In Spanish but Google Translate does the trick.

Spain is officially restituting the reputation and status of Emilio Herrera and Irene Aguilera, the couple who are known for designing the first space suit (see breviloquium above) and being the first Spanish female pilot, respectively. Herrera, an engineer, also became eventually President of the Spanish Republic in exile, after having to flee Franco's persecution.

David Černý a hoši z Trigemy opravdu nechtěli, abyste si tohle přečetli. Rozhovor prošel řádným editorským procesem a byl publikován na webu Forbesu. Po hodině a půl byl na rozkaz šéfredaktora stažen. A to tam podle mě Pavel neříká vůbec nic skandálního, jen nazývá věci tím, čím jsou.
Už tak jsme exoti a stojí to mraky peněz
