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 🌈
Proud to be a part of driving positive change in the accessibility for @wagtail!
Huge thanks to @thibaudcolas and the team for your unwavering commitment and sense of responsibility. It makes all the difference.

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. 😂

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

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

The fact that the Whisper transcription service from OpenAI just fills out gaps and silence with nonsense, demographic stereotyping, perpetuation of violence and sexal innuendo should get it recalled.
But no, as long as OpenAI say they are continually working to improve the tool, everything is apparently good to go.
One example:
What the person said: “Someone had to run and call the fire department to rescue both the father and the cat.”
What Whisper transcribed: “Someone had to run and call the fire department to rescue both the father and the cat. All he had was a smelly old ol’ head on top of a socked, blood-soaked stroller.”
