Hope to see many of you there with the rest of the @libreoffice community , and maybe also joining me in my talk: The long way to #softwarefreedom events.documentfoundation.org/…
Pixelfed for Android (v1.0.0.70) is now available via our F-Droid repo!
Our Google Play build is pending approval, and is expected to be available within the next 24 hours.
Only 7 days left in the European Citizens’ Initiative to tax the ultrarich to finance the climate transition.
Over 340,000 people have signed the petition so far. We need more than double that to send a clear message.
It takes less than 5 minutes.
The @thunderbird team just released the first beta of their email client for Android. I've filed two accessibility bugs on GitHub, and within hours one is addressed and will be in the next beta release (with a pleasant thank you note to boot).
If you feel so inclined, please consider downloading the app and reporting accessibility problems. Especially if you're a native TalkBack user.

There are two solutions to ARIA Live Region issues:
1. Don’t use ARIA Live Regions (but use focus, dialogs, or other managing of what’s going on)
2. Put the live region in the DOM at page load (They cost nothing. If you need an alert and a status, put two divs in with both roles.)

In Finnish the expression when you accidentally button your shirt up with the wrong button to the wrong buttonhole, thus offsetting the whole thing is "in the way of the drunkard's buttons" or juoponnapissa. If there's a fun English expression for the same thing, I don't know it. If your language has any fun expression for it, I also do not know it, and would like to know!
Odnoszę wrażenie, że to całe gadanie o dostępności to jest często taki PR - mówimy o tym jak nam pasuje, ale realnych problemów nie rozwiązujemy.
Jak to jest, że ktoś kto troszkę wypada poza standardową metryczkę klienta banku nie może założyć konta? W Polsce są pewnie dziesiątki tysięcy takich osób.
Jeśli bank nie respektuje pełnomocnika notarialnego, to powinien płacić nie wiem jak grube grzywny.
"If you walk by my office, you'll often hear me cursing at a computer. It is always the same curse: "FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP HELPING ME!" You're not good at it, you don't know what I want, just get out of my way. Every time I get a new computer, I spend about an hour turning off all automated assistance so I can get some actual work done. Predictive text is always wrong. Auto type and auto format are always wrong. And now here comes Gemini."

That's not necessarily true. Without PPA (or an equivalent mechanism for anonymous attribution) there can effectively be no advertising.
A world without advertising, barring some kind of innovative new solution that isn't know yet, means most of the internet and its contents become available only to the privileged classes able to pay for it directly.
Good for me? Maybe. Good for the median user, definitely not.
I think the idea that if there was no advertising then everything free would disappear is pretty roundly given counterexample by the medium we're posting on and also the entire history of human culture including and especially the internet where people do lots of free stuff for each other all the time for no reason.
Really we're not talking about advertising in a narrow sense. More specifically we are talking about the kind of surveillance-backed multisided data broker conglomerate business model where profit is derived from ownership of information vectors that offer - and demand - increasingly pervasive control over lived reality for sale. Advertising, yes, but also insurance companies denying me coverage from my google searches, States trying to monitor the reach of oppositional journalism, etc.
I dont see a company like Google, that has the immense visibility over the web that it does, voluntarily dropping targeted behavioral ads just because PPA exists as an alternative. Everything they are doing and have been saying to their investors and to us for the last 10 or 15 years says the opposite. I am not sold on the differential privacy model when you have an adversary that can see most of what goes on on the web and is pretty much the only show in town for ads - ill believe it's truly resilient to fingerprinting when google sues Mozilla for it.
I understand the uncertainty about what an advertising free web would look like - it's not what we're asking of Firefox here though, which is to not actively subvert our interests (or tell us what our best interests really are, since Mozilla knows better) and actively capitulate to the industry that is the reason that most people who use Firefox do, and if it wasn't why is the first substantive text on the Firefox homepage (in pic) literally a promise to do the exact opposite of what you're saying PPA is meant to facilitate, the continued existence of the very industry that runs these trackers? Why am I being specifically told not to check out my settings, which I would need to dig into to turn off what is explicitly an advertising technology, because Firefox will block it all?
Still, I get the uncertainty. It would look different, but to say that it would certainly look worse and specifically more egalitarian and accessible by poor people is ahistorical, does not follow from the premises, and does not appreciate the massive numbers of different ways the internet already does work, and more importantly could work if the entire stack wasn't vertically integrated around total surveillance.
Im not sure what would happen if advertising and the surveillance economy would evaporate tomorrow - that's not something the inclusion of PPA in a single browser would be sole determinant of in either direction - but it sure would be nice if the maintainers of very window through which I am able to see the whole of the world I would not see otherwise could be trusted to not keep edging me on becoming a surveillance company
Ein unglaublich guter Beitrag.
Ein mit so viel Zurückhaltung geschriebener Beitrag, der die Schamesröte in das Gesicht so vieler Akteur*innen treiben sollte, die sich stattdessen täglich selbst beweihräuchern.
Alle Probleme sind on point in den Text verflechtet.
Have you tried out the all new Tuta Calendar app yet?! 💃
This major update includes external calendar sync, offline functionality, and more!
Here is a sneak peek of what you can look forward to 😘

@cachondo I don't mind the file size. An M4B is only a tiny bit larger than an M4A because of the chapter markers, on the order of kilobytes.
I'd also rather have a single audiobook file over multiple CDs of multiple tracks any day, including for purposes of gapless playback. But, it does absolutely require a good player to overcome the single-file limitations, and I don't know of any on Windows that come close to e.g. BookPlayer on iOS. @JohannTan @TheCube @Thaqib
Volle Zustimmung. 👍🏼
Bin fast so weit, alle Parteien komplett für unwählbar zu erklären, die nicht geschlossen für ein Verbotsverfahren stimmen.
Was ist da los, #spdbt und #gruenebundestag ?
Auch #cdu und #fdp dürfen sich angesprochen fühlen. Von der #csu erwarte ich schon lange nichts mehr, spätestens die Koalition mit Aiwanger hat diese Partei komplett disqualifiziert.
Ich hab den Abgeordneten in meinem Wahlkreis geschrieben und sie gebeten, den Verbotsantrag zu unterstützen. Macht wenigstens das, bevor ihr aufgebt.
