Accessibility can be a deep topic, but there is a lot of low-hanging fruit that so many people get wrong when there really is no excuse.🔗 Links✅ axe dev too...YouTube

Hi there!
A question about the different page option settings of accounts (friendica 2024.03)./settings/account/basic
Right now this page want's to merge from a standard personal profile page to kinda community profile page where only specific defined profiles can publish thru it's wall to the rest of the followers.
First thought was to stay as a single profile page, allow mutual friend relations to publish/write to this wall, and change all contacts that do not belong to the inner circle of profiles to followers only. Apparently this setting doesn't work, or doesn't work as expected.
Security and privacy settings in:/settings
Is this a known issue or some kind of misinterpretation of this option?
Next possible option would be to choose to become a public community group page.
This option would imply a continuous attention to change every new contact to followers only, if in fact this would mean that the followers would not be able to publish to the group but receive publications. Also this setting would include the risk of being exposed to unexpected posts into the community of followers whenever the administration of the profile lags behind for some reason.
The option private group looks more promising in this regard and actually would be the same than being a personal profile page that checks new follow requests and than could change the setting to allow mutual friendship to post to the profiles wall or simply define a follower relationship. The [Experimental] notice, that actually exists like lot's of years already is a little bit confusing, or creates a certain reluctance to try this option. How experimental is this still as of now or could we perhaps ask the community to run a general test on all the options of the account settings in general together with a general feed back to sum this up and come to some definite setup, wording and explanations on the matter?
I think this is Victoria Park stop, along the east-west track, well east.

I did get to the end of the post, and I do care that you wrote it without the aid of generative AI. Of course, maybe that's because I'm another middle-aged programmer somewhat afraid of being left behind.
I think the fact that you find these tools particularly good at busting out unit tests suggests that we need to figure out how to make practical software testing less rote, less boilerplatey, such that lovingly crafting that code is actually worthwhile.
Counterpoint: It's unrealistic to expect every developer to "love" every part of the software development process.
I write tests because they are legitimately helpful, and because it would be irresponsible not to. And I hate every second of it.
I'm legitimately not sure what changes/improvements to software testing would make it feel less arduous, but very interested in ideas! @nolan

Exciting news! The Matrix Foundation homeserver will migrate to the all new matrix-authentication-service on April 7th, with an expected downtime of 1h between 7am and 8am UTC.

I administer my own home server. I've set up an upstream OIDC server (Authentik) in anticipation of the new MAS standard. What else do I need to do in order to have a smooth migration?
I've seen a lot of promotional material about the new MAS implementation, but not much about how it will break my instance or how my configuration will need to change.

The UK has introduced a requirement to have an electronic travel authorization on order to visit the country. I just thought I'd have a look at it and see what I'll have to do if I'm ever to visit my mother again, and I'm in a queue. A queue on a website. Never seen that before (but it does seem very British).
It doesn't accept any method of payment which I use. Well that's just great.
What's more, the only way to make payment to the British government is to sign up to a choice of American payment services which will send some slice of the payment to the US. Why on earth have they done that?
Oh, and if your use the app, which they really want you to do, then you're phone has to meet their requirements. So it may also cost you a new phone to visit the UK in future. And if my phone stops meeting their requirements after I pay for an autorisation which should last two years? Who knows.
Thanks Brexit, the curse which keeps on cursing.
