Předpokládáme že 9.2. přestane fungovat bridge.nolog.cz - nástroj pro automatické postování nových příspěvků mezi Twitterem a Mastodonem.

Není to naše rozhodnutí, Twitter se rozhodl zpoplatnit přístup k rozhraní které nástroj využívá a provoz nejspíš nebude udržitelný.

Was completely unaware of "Clascal" ("an object-oriented dialect of Pascal designed by Apple with Niklaus Wirth") and the Lisa Application ToolKit (a "forerunner of most modern frameworks, including MacApp and the NeXT frameworks"). Incredible how much of this kind of software engineering genealogy is forgotten today.

Thanks for the history lesson, @eschaton! eschatologist.net/blog/?p=314

Just came across a few-day-old blog post (daringfireball.net/2023/01/mea…) which says that third-party Android apps, particularly Mastodon clients, "don’t even try to achieve the look-and-feel comfort, fun, and panache of iOS apps." And it occurred to me that the kind of polish that he praises in iOS and misses in Android is probably entirely missing from the experience of blind users across platforms, not least because we mostly use GUIs indirectly via a bolted-on screen reader. (to be continued)
in reply to Matt Campbell

To be clear, it's great that mainstream apps, content, and services are accessible; I wouldn't dream of suggesting that we should exclusively use UIs designed specifically for us. But I wonder what "look-and-feel comfort, fun, and panache" would mean in a Ui designed specifically for blind people. What immediately comes to mind is gimmicky stuff like pre-recorded prompts and lots of sound effects, that would just get annoying in everyday use.
in reply to Matt Campbell

Look at Elten (on Windows) to see what is possible in terms of blindness-first UI. The app never really became popular outside the Polish community, but an English version does exist. To give you just a few examples, it has stereo sounds for scrollbars, which are extremely useful once you get used to them, audio icons for file types and statuses like “unread” or “blocked”, a clock sound, which is an audio version of a loading spinner, and quiet ambiences for menus and modals.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

Also replacing most messages with audio queues, so E.G. instead of saying “new message from foo”, it just plays the new message sound and says foo. It also does Teamtalk-Style channels, except with HRTF and moving around, so you can actually have multiple groups of people taking about different things, and you can move around and come up to the people that seem interesting.

Tak jo. Jdu zkusit sílu Mastodonu. Dočetl jsem knížku "Zrádná paměť" od Lisy Gray

A teď síla Mastodonu: Chceš si tuhle knížku přečíst? Odpověz na tento příspěvek, proč bych měl knihu poslat právě tobě. Já platím poštovné i balné.

Digitalisierung und #Datenschutz: Schluss mit Ausreden!

Schluss mit den faulen Ausreden bei verschleppter Digitalisierung, fordert @ulrichkelber - zu Recht!

#FOSDEM is basically admitting they're a super spreader event.

There are many science-based things conferences can do. The Public Health Pledge (@phpledge) has badging principles with suggestions on how to help prevent people getting sick (at different levels, in various ways): phpledge.com/badging — but FOSDEM isn't doing these things. They could.

(Many of us attending in-person got FOSDEM flu in years past. But now COVID is in the mix)

Hoping that everyone stays well despite this. 🍀

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub If you browse the #FOSDEM tag here on the Fediverse, you'll see lots of photos of very crowded spaces full of people not wearing masks at all. Once in a while, you might see someone wearing a mask, but it's rare.

Same for all the video streams so far.

I've heard from people who are there that they estimate >= 95% of the crowd aren't wearing masks.

And hallways and rooms are packed full.

😟

Now that #Tusky 21 is released I'll be doing a post a day on each new feature or user-visible bug fix you might see.

I'll be trying to do these in the rough order the change landed.

I'm not covering everything. Notably, I'm skipping over the amazing translation work that's done by volunteers at weblate.tusky.app/. And anything that either fixes a crash, or refactors code.

Very excited to have shared this morning at @fosdem that @osi has joined the Digital Public Goods Alliance ! and is supporting this important initiative's mission of creating a more equitable world through OSIs activities of education, advocacy, and sustained care of the OSD. #oss is treated as digital public goods and is recognized in it's registry. Fantastic way for OSI to kick off its 25 year anniversary! blog.opensource.org/osi-joins-…

I know people want to join pixelfed.social and I'm asked daily about it

Closing registrations was not an easy decision to make, but one that was necessary to reduce centralization.

I built the new pixelfed.org/servers instance picker (and redesigned the entire site) to onboard new users in a more sustainable way, across several curated instances.

I'll re-open registration when the time is right 😉
