For anyone who hasn't changed their ringtone in a million years or has completely abandoned the idea of those: the Austrian National Forestry department puts up the sounds of all of the beautiful nature that can be encountered within the Austrian forests in the form of mp3 ringtones.
Included is everything from common birds to bears and wolves.

Hey folks, new to the server and thought an #introduction was in order.

I'm Nolan, A.K.A.. Lights Out Games, a blind game developer making audio-focused games. Check out my profile link for examples of what these sound like.

I also do lots of open source work, much of which currently involves game accessibility in some form. Notably, recently I helped integrate the #Bevy engine with platform accessibility APIs via AccessKit.

Look forward to meeting you all.

ГосДура освободила РПЦ от действия на неё закона "Об отмывании денег".
Теперь и сама РПЦ, и зарегистрированные на неё юрлица, не обязаны отчитываться об источниках своих доходов и инвестиций.

Благодать...
Чудо божественное, не иначе...

Или сказ о том, как РПЦ окончательно превратилась в Швейцарию, где не принято задавать лишних вопросов тем, кто несёт лепту малую.

Сказ о том, как бабло, всё таки победило добро.

The @thunderbird betas have a rewritten main window UI. This has a lot of accessibility problems. Unfortunately, I currently don’t have the energy to file the bugs myself. Here’s what I found:

1. Too many tab stops. Toolbars should definitely be a one-tabstop container and employ the ARIA toolbar design pattern.
2. Speaking of which, the containers should all be made into proper toolbar containers in the process.
3. The main messages list should be a tree with tree items, since they are collapsible. List and list items are not. Also, there are a lot of focus issues still remaining when deleting messages/threads or when the view refreshes from the IMAP server.

Perhaps someone on the team can convert these into proper bugs in Bugzilla, or maybe most of these are already filed. Like I said, I unfortunately currently lack the energy to do so myself.

I have accidentally posted all the issue links twice.
Just to add into it here are some recent accessibility related enhancements I have recognized.
reporting message columns is now greatly inproved in Thunderbird 114, it is now possible to inwoke the context menu in the message list, dropdown buttons in the message reader UI can now be activated with the enter or space key.
F6 and shift+F6 navigation has been improved so it can be inwoked when filter buttons or the edit field has the focus.

Hi Marco, I'm the product design manager at Thunderbird. Thank you so much for trying out beta and for this overview of the issues you encountered. We're 100% aware of all of these and we already have bugs and work in progress patches to address the issues.
ARIA toolbar design pattern is currently on alpha (daily) for the message pane, and it will be added to the main toolbar as well in the next months, alongside updating the container markup.

Unfortunately, Mozilla Connect needs another account/log-in to post ideas. 😒
And NO, I wont use Google, Amazon, whatever as general login-method. These get already to much data anyway! 😑
BUT here is another suggestion:
I would like to have a fully stand-alone sync-server which I can "install" as Docker/Padman-image.
"Fully stand-alone" means "works locally" as well!

Not long ago, the enormous Haast's eagle soared over New Zealand.

Weighing almost 40lbs (18kg) with a wingspan up to ~10ft (3m), they likely feasted on the gigantic moa birds I described in an earlier post. Maori oral tradition also suggests they may have attacked human children.

So what happened to this fierce apex predator? Once the moa disappeared due to excess hunting after the arrival of people, Haast’s eagle followed around 1400. nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/h…. #SharedPlanet #science #nature

Looks kind of interesting. github.com/akash07k/ButterKnif… Wish it was documented better. I've installed the release version: I should learn about building chrome things for myself.

It's been a while since I've written something for my blog, and just posted about my journey into #TactileGraphics and #TactileArt after having gone #Blind almost a decade ago. I never thought I'd draw again, and here I am helping to teach other blind and low-vision folks how to create drawings both physically and digitally! marconius.com/blog/index.php/2…

You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon!

All links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your post limit, no matter how long the links actually are.

Link shortener services like bit.ly, t.co etc track users who click on their links. This is really bad for privacy, so Mastodon removed any practical need to use them. If you still use link shorteners on Mastodon, it will be obvious to everyone that you are just doing it for tracking purposes.

It's raining here, and I'm feeling generous. This track has helped lots of people relax, even though it's mellow. But I'm here to show you that there's something beautiful lurking around in there. Inspired by rain, this is a true minimalist track with one motif going 'round and 'round. Enjoy! PS: DM me for a lossless copy if you'd rather listen to that. This goes for the other track I shared as well. #music #minimalist #rain
