Finally got around to reading @bagder's _Uncurled_. It's a great collection of wisdom for Open source leaders (and inspired several posts for me to put on the Duck Alignment Academy backlog) un.curl.dev/
This is the type of content AI descriptions help equalize to those who are blind. Yet again, another company publishes another blog post with vague alt text like "Sriracha shortage", "Top hot suaces" (SIC,) "America's favorite hot sauces," and more nonsense of sorts. Some Like it Hot: Instacart Reveals Spicy New Insights for National Hot Sauce Day instacart.com/company/updates/… (Do better, Instacart.)
As we celebrate National Hot Sauce Day, it's evident that Americans have embraced a universal truth in their culinary preferences: nearly every food is
Meh. One reason I does not shop online. I wanna know what I am buying. I have had things exchanged, not told that what I ordered was not in the store. So, what if I actually had allergies? Well I don't, but say I had a guest who did. Then, I'd hold them responsible, because I specifically ordered something and they didn't tell, or they exchange it, or didn't look. Too many things go wrong when you online shop.

Oops, maybe time for another fix? The important notes list never ends and continues through the entire blog post. I know they're meant to be important, but not so important to have 27 items in the list :P
@NikJov Oops - and you thought there were lots of point fixes fixing point fixes - that's nothing compared to the number of blog post revision fixes I need to make :D

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).
* women seek funding less often. (prefering bootstrapped startups instead)
* The conclusions come from different studies with differing methodologies (e.g. one study defining female-founded as "at least one female founder" but another defining it as "no male founders"). Could also be analyzing different demographics.
* Female founders prefer focusing on other niches than male founders, and the mostly male niches have better chances of success.
You can't draw any discrimination-related conclusions based on such a simple graph if you don't look at the whole study. Considering how often such studies are misinterpreted (by both sides), I'm now very sceptical of their results unless I do a deep dive, regardless of what side the studies seem to support.
What I'd like here is a simple study where different groups of VCs evaluate the same pitches, but where one group evaluates male founders and the other evaluates female founders. Those tend to be the most reliable.
A relatively compact phone by today’s standards (coming in at 5.9-in), while still offering the performance of a flagship level device. A couple of other features that set it apart are the 3.5mm headphone jack and the fingerprint sensor in the power button rather than under the display.

Microsoft is seemingly still very focused on Windows 11, with the next major update landing in the form of "version 24H2." The next-gen Windows (12), as such, may not be all that ready just yet.

@liamerven Interesting. My brother said music sounded normal to him when he got his CIs. I'm not sure how much to read into that since he is my brother, but as long as he's happy, we'll take it.

I noticed a reference to this article on Slashdot. jamiejbartlett.substack.com/p/… My own general approach is not to post commentary on the news. If I find discussions that are more interesting than what I generally encounter in the mainstram media, I may post a reference. My main source of news at the moment is the BBC World Service, supplemented by various podcasts, often Deep State Radio: thedsrnetwork.com/ and online reading - generally reputable media outlets. #news #media #SocialMedia

I'm having a conversation with a designer about icons. Making a screenreader read "camera" or "microphone" when an icon is shown is trivial with aria-label. But screenreader users are massively outnumbered by sighted users who might be confused by the meaning of a tiny image/ icon. The mighty Paul Annett explains more:
Do you have questions about the Message Context Menu, accessibility, or the design process in general in Thunderbird? Send them to officehours@thunderbird.net to get them answered during our chat with UX Developer @emitche this Thursday, January 25, at 18:00 UTC. Find out more - and how to join us live! - in the blog post: blog.thunderbird.net/2024/01/j…
Join us and UX Engineer Elizabeth Mitchell for our January 2024 Thunderbird Office Hours. We'll share upcoming changes to the Context Menu, why we're making them, and answer your questions.
@GeantJaune We're planning on switching to a dedicated Jitsi server. There has been a lot on our team's plates last month and this month, and so we haven't been able to prioritize this the way we would have liked to. We hope you'll join us once we've made the switch!
Yes, please add a general disable option for the horrible Threaded View that is the default..... I'm now using BetterBird as I think Threaded View is just utterly disgusting.
Angela, using adjectives like "horrible" and "disgusting" to talk about a developer's hard work isn't a polite or productive way to get results, and it's just not very nice.
Please keep this in mind going forward. We're sorry Thunderbird isn't working out for you right now, but hopefully you'll check back in with us later in the year and see if it suits your needs better.
Well, that was my feeling after being a Thunderbird fan for many years, disabling Threaded View in many folders, one folder at a time, to then find twice that after the upgrade to a newer version Threaded View was back everywhere.
And just give me a very good reason why? Or why there is no option to chose Threaded View or just to disable it? That's when you get frustration! Even with Google you can choose. With Thunderbird it was suddenly the default..

Samozrejme, všetko čo je v neprospech hlupákov je sfalšované. Zrejme sa nevie zmieriť s tým, že ju tam viac ľudí nechce ako chce. Tak to ale dopadne, keď si strana, ktorá ledva presiahla 5% o sebe myslí, že ju volilo celé Slovensko a zastupuje každého Slováka.
@danieltoth ja ani neviem čo na to povedať, ak toto zoskupenie vydrží celé 4 roky budem tak povediac prekvapený a zároveň asi aj sklamaný. V každom smere ideme zlým smerom.
Join us in calling for EU member states to ensure that the CSA regulation does not introduce mandatory scanning and backdoors.
A safer internet is a safe space for all, with respect for fundamental rights such as the right to privacy. Introducing scanning and backdoors is essentially mandating the introduction of vulnerabilities that would make all forms of communication less safe.
We stand united against attempts to introduce mass scanning and surveillance.
We stand together with other European technology companies and associations to urge EU member states to align their position on the CSA Regulation to that of the Parliament.
@pvagner You tested my map application a few weeks ago.
Would you mind giving dev.mapcomplete.org/ another try? I think most of the a11y-issues you mentioned should be fixed, and I'd love to see it validated.
@Pietervdvn :mapcomplete: Awesome the live region improvements sound nice. The #accessibility user experience feels great to me. Now the app is working fine for me on linux with #orca running in both chromium and firefox. I haven't yet managed to test it on windows with#NVDA @NV Access I am not yet sure, perhaps you can give me an advice regarding this however now when scrolling the map we are getting distance and the direction from the navigation point to the map center spoken along with three closest features on the map. Have we lost the ability to hear distance from the map center to those close map features? I'm thinking the way it's working now might be usefull when used on a mobile device with the current location updated as I move around. And ability to hear distance from the center to the map features might be usefull when browsing the map on a computer. In this scenario I'm thinking I would use the map center as a replacement for the navigation point finding out what I should do in order to move to a certain map feature. Or perhaps this is already possible and I just haven't discovered it all. Can you please try to describe how you think it's best used?
@NVAccess Now that the workweek has started, I have time for your feedback ;)
Great to hear that you can use it! If you want a new challenge: try to create an OpenStreetMap-account and try to make a change to some object. I'd be really happy if you managed to do this!
I have re-added the aria-live which both reads distance to the map center _and_ to the current location. Pressing tab will also iterate through closeby features and tell their distances
