A framework for creating user interfaces for GNOME with an API similar to SwiftUI - GitHub - AparokshaUI/Adwaita: A framework for creating user interfaces for GNOME with an API similar to SwiftUI
Just pushed the first draft of my new Wayland accessibility protocol extension. Still working on actually implementing it though. gitlab.freedesktop.org/mwcampb…
Passing a pipe file descriptor for each tree update or action is an interesting approach. Probably should perform well and be easy for the compositor to pass through to a client.
So the idea that there would be another protocol that's basically the reverse of this for the screen reader to use?
@ids1024 Yes, that's right. And I'm assuming that creating and destroying a pipe per AT per surface per frame (in the worst case) will be reasonably cheap. Hopefully, most applications won't update the accessibility tree of every surface at the display's refresh rate.
My summary would be: a pipe in each direction for every pair of assistive technologies and GUI toolkit instances running on the system. Initial full, followed by incremental tree updates from each toolkit ("provider") to each "accessibility client" (assistive technology) for each surface that has an accessibility tree. The provider is responsible for updating each accessibility client independently. Disclaimer: my knowledge of Wayland is minimal. It all seems good so far.
The only important qualification to my summary is: either the communication runs indirectly via the Wayland compositor, or the assistive technology accesses the pipes to/from the provider directly - either is allowed, as I read it. I would encourage anyone with Wayland expertise to review this when it's ready for review/comment.

#Android: SimpleMobileTools wurde im vergangenen Jahr verkauft. Es gibt jedoch einen Fork, in dem die Apps unter Beibehaltung der ursprünglichen Projektprinzipien weiterentwickelt werden sollen. Fossify. 👇
Der Kalender und die Galerie haben es bereits in F-Droid geschafft. Ich habe die Empfehlungsecke entsprechend angepasst.
@kranzkrone @IzzyOnDroid Oha, an mir auch vorbeigegangen, besonders, weil ich deren Kalender aufm Tablet habe. Hatte mir den damals als Alternative zum Samsung-Google Kalender aus dem F-Droid Store geladen. Bin sehr zufrieden damit, tut was er soll. Wird es da Veränderungen geben? Also sollte ich das bisherige deinstallieren und irgendwie eine andere Version installieren? Oder was muss ich tun? 😳
@onlytina Wenn Du nichts tust, erhälst Du einfach keine Updates mehr (von F-Droid; wenn Du auch Google Play nutzt, könnte Dir das evtl. eine neuere, werbeverseuchte Version überbügeln). Empfehlung wäre daher: Fossify Calender installieren, Simple Calender deinstallieren. Gleiches gilt natürlich für die anderen SMT Apps, sobald ihre Pendants verfügbar werden (derzeit Gallery und Filemanager). @kranzkrone
@IzzyOnDroid Ok, lieben Dank für die Info! Google Play Store nutz ich nur noch selten für nicht umgehbare Apps, ansonsten ist der Store die restliche Zeit deaktiviert. Kann also nix passieren. Werd mich dann mal gleich um die neue App kümmern. Hoffe sehr, die ist so gut wie die von SMT.
@kranzkrone Taugt genau so ie SMT früher taugte. Ist schließlich ein Fork davon von Leuten, die früher auch zu SMT beigetragen haben, wenn ich das jetzt richtig mitbekommen habe.
@IzzyOnDroid @kranzkrone jepp, grade geladen und eingerichtet, ist tatsächlich wie die Kalender App von SMT. Find ich echt gut, so muss ich mich nicht umgewöhnen. 👌
Wie woanders schonmal erwähnt ist halt die Frage, ob man dem Entwicklerteam des Forks jetzt sofort vertrauen sollte/kann oder erstmal abwarten. Bei Kalender wird Etar empfohlen, nicht der #Fossify Calendar. Aber gut, dass sind natürlich nur Empfehlungen und es heißt nicht, dass andere Apps jetzt datenschutzunfreundlich sind oder so.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
@DocAimless bestätige: alle 3 Apps in meinem Repo, weitere folgen – und anders als sonst, bleiben auch in meinem Repo. Bestätige ferner: 3-5 Tage (die Merge-Requests für die anderen beiden wurden erst heute gemergt, die zwei sollten also im nächsten Build-Cycle erstellt werden). @73CC @r3vilo @kuketzblog

Have been playing with Vdo.ninja, a free solution by the dev of OBS Studio which makes it possible to stream and receive multiple sources through any web-based view. In practice, it can do what Cleanfeed does, except it's not as heavily Chrome-dependent, allows for things like changing audio inputs and outputs for other people which makes it so much easier for sound technicians to tweak the setup for radio show or podcast guests, and all of the parameters can be tweaked through URL parameters so it is easy to hand out customized invitation links with everything pre-configured for each guest. The dev, I am told, cares deeply for #Accessibility and, although some suggestions could still be implemented, it is rather pleasant to work with at present. vdo.ninja/
@michalkasperczak Bardzo chętnie przetestuję. Fakt, interfejs jest dość mocno skomplikowany, ale nie jest to nie do przeskoczenia. Znajomy mi o tym mówił już od ddłuższego czasu, a ja albo jakoś nie dowierzałem, albo chyba nawet testowaliśmy, ale były jakieś problemy.
@stirlock I am trying to report all accessibility-related findings to the dev as much as my spare time allows. So far we have got ARIA regions for all of the connected streams aka guests, Cleanfeed style. Steve reacts very fast to such reports so it's definitely worth hanging out on the project's Discord server.
Hey there! Today we have released a new TWBlue version, the first one for 2024! You can read about this at twblue.mcvsoftware.com/posts/2…. This update will be available automatically to older versions of TWBlue, only for 64-bit systems. Changes include basic autocompletion support for mastodon accounts, notification actions, view and update user profiles (thanks to @arfs6) and some important bugfixes! We hope to keep improving the client for Mastodon support and adding more features very soon!
Hello and welcome to a new TWBlue release! This is the first version of TWBlue that we are releasing during 2024. The beginning of this year marks some important milestones, such as the project's doma

I made a new #GNOME #Crosswords release. This release is light on end-user visible changes, but is good preparation for the next stage. It finalizes the basic visual design, and the underlying stateless architecture will make it a lot easier to extend.
To test the design, I did some initial panes. For creating the grid I added some statistics and histograms. For authoring clues I added anagrams, and odd and even words.
Between instagrams and mastodons and all the social networks, I figured I need a cardboard box to store all my pixels in. Perhaps it'll outlive them all, perhaps not.
Thanks to @bcantrill's old story about using DTrace to track down a GNOME performance problem, which I just recalled. youtube.com/watch?v=TgmA48fILq… I was about to repeat the same mistake, assuming that mmap and munmap are cheap, while designing a new Wayland protocol extension for accessibility. At least it could have been bad in the worst case, when an application updates its accessibility tree for every frame.

I do wonder if munmap is as expensive on a modern multicore x64 or ARM64 machine as it was on a multiprocessor SPARC back in the day. But I'm probably better off assuming that computer architecture hasn't changed that much.

New game added to the Accessible Apps directory by Tarren @Tarrenvane: Idle Iktah. Accessible with a few unlabeled buttons. An idle RPG set in a land inspired by the Pacific northwest. You arrive in the land with nothing to your name, and grow your character through a variety of skills including crafting, harvesting and combat. accessibleandroid.com/app/idle… #Android #App #Game
Awesome! Glad you could use that! It's a game I've grown rather fond of over the past month or two, and I didn't see it up there so I thought I'd spread the word.
Still trying to figure out how to balance the tradeoffs of "the right thing" and "worse is better", as defined in the famous paper by Richard Gabriel (dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBe…), in my new free desktop accessibility architecture. We definitely don't want to sacrifice correctness or completeness this time around, but I think prioritizing simplicity of implementation in toolkits and compositors, as opposed to an easy interface for assistive technologies, is important for adoption.
My 2 cents: you spur adoption by making it incredibly inconvenient to avoid making your app accessible. I love how Jetpack Compose (Android toolkit) does this: testing is innately tied to the semantics properties of widgets, so you have to litter your code with "test tag" declarations to avoid making your layouts visible to the accessibility framework. Anything done programmatically to change the state of widgets is done through the accessibility layer.
After giving this some more thought, I think simplicity in the compositor (i.e. the Wayland server) is paramount, because that server has to be robust; if it crashes, it probably takes all applications down with it. Toolkits and assistive technologies should be robust too, but restarting a single application isn't as bad. And as for complexity in toolkits versus ATs, the AT developers are the ones that actually have the most motivation and resources to work on accessibility.
My perhaps overly cynical impression of GUI toolkit developers, especially the developers of the long tail of toolkits that aren't yet accessible, is that they'll integrate accessibility, though perhaps not enthusiastically, if we make it easy enough. Whereas we AT developers have historically gone to great lengths, including ugly hacks, to make accessibility work. So I should put as much of the burden as possible on myself and others in my position.
KDE has done some neat work on compositor handoff, so clients can potentially reconnect after a compositor restart. I don't think that's ever going to work robustly with all applications though.
Gnome isn't great for having a minimal compositor given the entire shell API is JavaScript running in the compositor process.
Anyway, I need to look at how the proposed accessibility Wayland protocol works, but I agree it needs to be compatible with minimal compositor designs.
