Do you speak Croatian (hr), Breton (br), or Scottish Gaelic( gd)?
All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!
While I can speak a little of Breton, Irish Garlic and Croatian and others, I'm not fluent enough to help. Wish I could but but perhaps someone else will.
@ratcatcher We updated the post with the codes for all the languages - it's Scottish Gaelic (gd)! Sorry for not being more specific in the original post.
@gunchleoc @baz Thank you for offering to step up! The response to this post has been so encouraging, and we hope that gd not only gets over 70%, but all the way to 100%!
@anandu This language is more complete, but if you'd like to contribute to bringing it closer to completion, we always welcome new translators! hosted.weblate.org/projects/tb…
Completing the Gàidhlig translation of Thunderbird email client on Android would be a great community project. A small amount of Scottish government funding/support would help too.
@chillypenguin Oh, this is a really good idea - both for this language and others that are in danger of falling under 70% translated. We'll definitely pass it on to our new community manager once we hire them, and maybe we could do some outreach!
In the last poem of the Kalevala, the sage Väinämöinen gives a bad verdict. Embarrassed, he sails away from the lands of Kaleva. He leaves his kantele and songs to the people. A boy born to a virgin becomes the new ruler of the land. The story is thought to tell of the arrival of Christianity. #MythologyMonday
"Who owns your shiny new Pixel 9 phone? You can’t say no to Google’s surveillance" cybernews.com/security/google-… "Google's latest flagship smartphone raises concerns about user privacy and security. It frequently transmits private user data to the tech giant before any app is installed. Moreover, the Cybernews research team has discovered that it potentially has remote management capabilities without user awareness or approval."
A vážně si v EU myslí, že tohle něčemu pomůže? Vše poběží dál, jen do EU se budou dodávat ty dražší suroviny, které budou mít jakýsi certifikát, který možná něco dokazuje a možná také ne. Jen další z hřebíčků do konkurenceschopnosti Evropy. 🙁
In der ganzen EU finden sich gerade mal 344-Tausend Leute, die #TaxTheRich sinnvoll genug finden, um eine offizielle Petition an die Europäische Kommission zu unterschreiben? Macht mich fertig. Bis Mittwoch wäre noch Zeit, die restlichen 656k und 4 Länder überm Schwellenwert (Belgien ist kurz davor, dann wären es noch 3) zusammenzubekommen... eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/…

This is a good one. Sounds like the “back” button in Safari which will display the history of visited website. Wow, so useful. I wonder when this was introduced? dragonscave.space/@scottrut/11…
Yeah, it's been there for a while. I noticed it once when I paused before hitting the back button and heard the hint that a double tap and hold would bring up the history. Once in a great while I remember to listen for the hint to see if I can pick up something new.
I think VoiceOver does a good job with hints. For example, I like how when I'm using the braille screen input command mode.
Carole Ann Ford on reprising her role as Susan in Doctor Who:
“I've met Russell [T Davies] a few times and I absolutely adore him. He is the man that would be the boss man to say yes or no - so hopefully it's going to be yes.” bbc.com/news/articles/cly6kx3y…
One of the themes which came through from the NVDA Satisfaction Survey earlier this year, was to improve Braille support. To help us target the most needed improvements, we have created a short survey. If you use NVDA with braille at least some of the time, please consider completing this survey.
Huge props to the #NVDAsr team for recognizing this and taking the steps to make #Braille a priority. Will be filling out their survey and hope other #Windows #ScreenReader users will do the same.
I tried hard, I swear, but as soon as I hit "Next" for the first time, the web page freezes, and I'm unable to interact with it unless I press F5, which boots me back to the first question :(.
@ToniBarth Which browser are you using? (and if you have another one to try did it make a difference?) We haven't had any other reports of it not working, and I can't think why it might not be for you. Are you able to try again please - maybe it was a temporary glitch?
@McOi What isn't working about it? Are you getting an error message or anything I can investigate please? We have had quite a few people complete the survey so far, so it may be worth trying again as it may have been a temporary glitch?
Nothing more, only that crome window opening, you know the title. Then all I can do on there is see some grafic. graphic clickable Appears to say: NVDA with braille user survey Can't navigate any further
Guess when #MapComplete started uploading pictures to our @panoramax -instance and started introducing `panoramax`-tags to the #OpenStreetMap-database...
Sam Altman believes #AI is using a trivial amount of energy.
"The energy use of AI, I think relative to the value it's creating, is quite tiny today. I don't want to minimize it too much, because it's going to go up — like we will use gigawatts over time, out of, you know, terawatts on Earth."
I guess this depends on if the energy use of small countries is trivial and if you believe Earth can sustain producing terawatts of energy indefinitely.
I called EMS once and police showed up before paramedics (paramedics were busy).
The first thing they said? “You don’t look sick.”
They waited for paramedics who took me to hospital - but that initial response stuck with me.
It’s why mask bans are dangerous. Police aren’t trained to make medical decisions. They shouldn’t be the ones deciding who can and can’t legally wear a mask.
Many illnesses are invisible - you wouldn’t KNOW we’re disabled to look at us.
Most of us have experienced gaslighting from friends, family and even doctors - people are quick to judge and decide you’re “not that sick.”
So are we really expected to risk criminal charges by wearing a respirator & just HOPE police will believe we truly “need it”?
Not to mention that medical exemptions leave behind anyone who wants to mask to protect and preserve their health - as well as caregivers and family of disabled people.
We rely on them to keep us safe - we NEED them masking in public.
I sincerely hope more people join the fight against mask bans soon - because if we don’t fight against them - more cities and states will pass them and more people will suffer.
A good respirator is excellent protection against covid & other illnesses.
We shouldn’t be further excluding disabled and high risk people from public - but that’s exactly what these ugly laws do.
Call your elected officials - tell them medical masks can not and should not be banned.
Don’t embrace escalating fascism and eugenics just because you don’t think it will impact you.
Don’t celebrate it because you hold a grudge about mask mandates.
It won’t stop with disabled people. Help us now & your future self will thank you.
