Can you believe that a GitHub issue I opened six years ago in the depths of “the long dark tea-time of the soul” has had such a cascading impact?
It has ultimately led to the formation of a dedicated accessibility team for @django
This is a moment that truly highlights the power of open source and everything it represents.
I'm so grateful for this community 💙

For me personally – this was a definite inflection point in my career, as I started investing way more into accessibility expertise. For Wagtail, we followed this with a project for a large govt agency to do even more testing and improvements of the CMS admin. Then got our accessibility team started. Then the accessibility team for @django. An #ATAG audit for Wagtail. Yearly reporting on our accessibility. There’s a long way to go but the journey’s been great already 🌈

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
That is amazing, Musharraf! The accessibility teams cannot do good work without the input of disabled users. You being a programmer is even better because you know how code works.
We sadly have a long way to go in Django core as well, but I hope you can enjoy our platforms for a long time, and that your experience improves.

I didn't think this was possible but the real disappointment of the day isn't Apple Intelligence – it's the "updated" Magic accessories.
They literally just…swapped the Lightning port for USB-C. No multi-device pairing, no design changes, nothing else.
The mouse still has the charging port at the bottom too. 😂

#Catima 2.32.0 is out!
This is a minor release which fixes the #Stocard importer (again), adds an accessibility feature to switch between the displayed card with the volume keys (when enabled in settings) and contains some small polish like adding some icons to the add dialog box.
Coming soon to an app store near you :)
Sadly, pkpass support didn't make the cut (I wanted to push this out quickly given the Stocard shutdown).
The pkpass progress is good but the branch misses the zip handling fix that caused the Stocard issue and doesn't properly load images yet. It also needs some further testing to make sure no new issues were introduced as it required quite a lot of refactoring.
If anyone *really* needs pkpass support *now*, building yourself an APK from the branch is probably safe :)

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.
