After 6 years – we finally got to close our longest-running #accessibility ticket in Wagtail, github.com/wagtail/wagtail/iss…. Thank you @mush42 for reporting this initially. We benefitted immensely from your accessibility expertise and first-hand experience with a screen reader ❤️
This was the ticket I created our "accessibility" ticket triage label for. 38 of those still opened, 165 closed. Kick-ass!
Making Wagtail Accessible for users with disabilities · Issue #4199 · wagtail/wagtail
Hello everyone, After reading the docs, I've decided to use Wagtail on one of my personal projects. Since I'm blind, I've discovered that my experience on editing content would be rather unpleasant...GitHub
Happens here in Canada w/ Post Merdia [not a typo, they're quite literally shit], as almost all of Canadian media have decided that the leader of the official opposition is justified in not obtaining a security clearance and that the LPC needs a new leader.
MSM DRIVES THE NARRATIVE.
Pollsters asking, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much I hate Trudeau? [I don't]
None ask about how concerned Canadians are about PP NOT having a security clearance.

What’s confusing is that it mixes anecdotal evidence with studies, on diff versions of Whisper, wrapped in a range of different software, using a variety of audio types. Audio quality, length, number of voices, speech patterns all matter a lot. And the longer the recording the more likely it is to have errors

I had a #WeirdDream the other night.
touchscreens, if backlit from within at a certain frequency, allowed their content to be felt as well as seen.
So you could buy a 6 inch eInk display for about 30 quid and make a Braille display out of it.
Obviously it was just a case of then rewriting the firmware of every little thing with a screen to make it show Braile instead of print.

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is a lot to read, and also we missed the toot about last week.
In short:
- F-Droid client 1.21 was released, but you should wait for 1.21.1 before you update
- there were some bugs in DAVx⁵, Nextcloud and Tailscale, so be careful in updating these too
- we're working together with @Codeberg to get our builds from apps hosted there working again
- any much more

What is the #XMPP Summit and should you go? 🧵
The XMPP Summit is a two day event for the people who write and implement XMPP extensions (XEPs). It is not a conference. There are no presentations. It is more like a round table discussion and active participation is encouraged.
Similar to an unconference at the beginning of Day 1 participants can suggest topics and others can indicate (via a +1) whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established

If you have ever followed a thread on the standards mailing list or participated in a discussion on the public XSF channel it is a bit like that only in person.
The different topics are broken up by short breaks that are great for networking and getting to know other XMPP developers. (Think hallway discussion at other conferences.)
Interoperability is a big part of what makes #XMPP great. However agreeing on a common strategy or even establishing a rough priority for certain features can be hard.
I believe those in-person events do a lot in getting us on the same page.
If you are an XMPP developer (client, server, gateway) I strongly encourage you to come.
I keep saying 'developer' and use that as a shorthand for: To get the most out of the summit you should have a background in reading (and maybe even writing) XEPs.
If you don’t consider yourself a developer but rather an enthusiastic user or admin we regularly have booths at various conferences (FOSDEM, CLT, FrOSCon, …) that are a great opportunity to meet us.
If however you are a developer and always wondered what standards mailing list discussions would look like IRL you can find more information on the Summit here: wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/…
At the #XMPP Summit − after a topic is well-discussed and a rough consensus reached − someone needs to volunteer to write the XEP.
Last year, I volunteered to write the XEP for synchronizing read states across devices.
It's called Message Displayed Synchronization and is now in Last Call, where community feedback is gathered before a XEP becomes 'stable.'
