While there’s no definitive playbook for building an accessibility culture, Dani shares lessons from his experience in shaping it through habits rather than mandates.
JJ and I are at it again, this time as guest hosts on the March 17 edition of AIRA’s Airacast podcast. We’re Talking Starbucks, the visuals, how they work from a customer’s perspective, and how AIRA can help you as a Blind person make a visit there and get your fix with the help of an AIRA agent.

We've recently seen serious spam attacks against Matrix, so we're introducing Policy Servers to recommend whether servers should accept or discard events *before* they get synced to clients. If your server participates in public rooms, see matrix.org/blog/2025/04/introd… to keep it safe.
Can you tell us where this was so we can update this? (If this is our donation share, we've been asking them to add Mastodon for a while, but they haven't been able to yet.)
I paid money to support Thunderbird: First of all there were this four buttons on your web interface (I couldn't get a screen dumb). Same choices i got in the following email from give(at)thunderbird(dot)net.
Our donation processor has a lot of defaults as far as social platforms. We've been asking them about adding Mastodon for a while now, but so far they haven't been able to. But we'll keep asking!
Tab key testing is here with cy.press()! This long-requested feature gives you the ability to trigger real native keyboard events in your tests, starting with support for the Tab key.
Django 5.2 was released last Wednesday, another exciting step forward for our favourite web framework. It comes with a composite of new features, contributed to by many, some of which I am happy to have helped with.
Our latest volume of the State of the Thunder is up, and its all about mobile! Learn what's on our upcoming roadmap and how we made it, find out what we're planning for iOS, how our community is contributing (and how you can join!)
I'm a bit confused on the localisation front, because here you say that you use weblate, but currently Thunderbird's only project on weblate seems to be Thunderbird for Android, wheras Thunderbird Desktop and thunderbird.net are on pontoon. I'm wondering where we might expect future project's localisation to be based from (like the Thunderbird Pro stuff).
Spring is back, bringing with it the return of our traditional Dev Updates, which you’ve clearly missed, and a fresh wave of improvements across the Jami ecosystem!
Stop hacking accessible pedestrian signals you fucking sociopaths. I swear, if I die because I'm trying to cross a street but the signal's been hacked because one of you thought it would be cute I'm coming back and haunting you for the rest of your life. lflegal.com/2025/04/aps-hack/
On April 12, 2025 the top story on the Palo Alto (California) online news site was "Silicon Valley Crosswalk Buttons Apparently Hacked to Imitate Musk, Zuckerberg Voices" It told the story, covered by other media too, of how someone hacked into audi…
Really glad to see @Mastodon working on quote #QuotePosts, and they're doing it in a really considerate way that will hopefully cut down on the downsides of quoted posts on other platforms. blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…
Unlike git-blame, which can tell you who wrote a line of code, git-who tells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase. You can think of git-who sort of like git-blame but for file trees rather than individual files.
"By choosing platforms like Mastodon, we champion community-driven technology over profit-driven manipulation" in other words, we, the workers, seize the means of production? phillipjreese.com/the-social-n…
As users flee from Twitter/X, two visions of social media's future compete: Mastodon's community-controlled network versus Bluesky's venture-backed promises.
Sharing some professional news: I've joined Mastodon full-time as Head of Communications! After freelancing with the project since 2023, I'm excited to bring my experience in open source and community to help tell the story of the Fediverse. Read more on my blog.
After freelancing with Mastodon since 2023, I'm excited to announce my new full-time role as Head of Communications. This builds on my experience in Dev Rel, community work, and open source while supporting a project I'm passionate about.
I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.
What do you do when your lucrative patent expires? In the case of MP3s, the patent owner tried to migrate everyone to another tech that was still under patent. At least that scam didn't work. #RetroComputingdfarq.homeip.net/mp3-is-dead-l…
As Trump tariffs brought volatility to the Wall Street charts, Nvidia stocks are still a ‘top pick’ for investors. After plummeting as low as $86.62 last
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
We're here to stop surveillance by corporations like Google and Apple. That's why we replaced Google's FCM with our own notification system and keep Apple Notification Data at a minimum. Learn here why this is important.

Print material is everywhere. In the past, blind people would have to wait until someone was available to read things like mail, directions and important paperwork.
In our 2024 Explorer Survey, people identified three main categories of tasks: describing, reading, and technical assistance. Since 2020, the use of visual interpreting to assist with computer and other technical tasks has surged significantly.

Die katholische App Hallow bezeichnet sich selbst als "erfolgreichste Gebets-App der Welt". Unter den Unterstützern und Investoren der App finden sich viele Trump-Unterstützer – und Datenschutzlücken könnten für dessen Wahlkampf genutzt worden sein.
