My Experience of Using Web Applications as a Blind User allyant.com/my-experience-of-u…


We are joined by Florian Beijers @zersiax who is a full time screen reader user to talk about how the accessibility experience differs on various operating systems and Linux desktop environments, and what open source software devs could be doing better.

@popey being blind myself this is very on point for me orca is a good screen reader just wish it had more devs working on it


There’s been attempts to get new Retro gaming forums going, but ultimately I think they struggle because it’s _another_ login to make & monitor etc..

So I propose this: a #RetroGaming email discussion list!

No new usernames or passwords required, no new places to monitor for goings on, it’s all in what you already have.

Fancy giving it a go? This is the sign-up link 😁👾🕹️

"Who cares?" war das Motto der diesjährigen re:publica. @marcelweiss stellte dort in einem Panel diese Frage völlig berechtigt in Bezug auf das #Fediverse. Wer kümmert sich um die weitere Entwicklung der offenen, protokollbasierten Kommunikation? #ActivityPub ist das dritte, neueste und spannendste standardisierte "Social-Protocol" neben E-Mail und RSS. Wird Europa wieder mal der Geburtsort von etwas, das dann in den USA erst groß wird? Marcel Weiß stellt da genau die richtigen Fragen. Leider vor fast leeren Publikumsrängen. Auch das zeigt einfach, dass kaum jemand - nicht mal die deutsche Hauptstadt-Intelligenzia - im Ansatz kapiert, wie wichtig dieser Themenkomplex eigentlich ist.

Soweit ich erinnere, hatte jemand die Posts von der #RePublika24 analysiert und festgestellt , dass die meisten im #FediVerse veröffentlicht worden sind, danach #Bkuesky und #X.
Insgesamt allerdings deutlich weniger als früher.

Apple Intelligence Features Not Coming to Europe at Launch Due to DMA macrumors.com/2024/06/21/apple…
in reply to MacRumors.com

Re last boost about Apple claiming they can’t bring iPhone mirroring and AI features to Europe due to the DMA: Is it just me or does this feel like a petty way Apple is trying to get back at the EU? Because I can’t think of any way, even contrived, that a feature like mirroring an iPhone on Mac would violate the DMA, especially when you could do it between Windows and Android for ages, and as for AI by that same logic Google and Microsoft wouldn’t be able to do their AI integrations either. They took longer to reach Europe as well, but because of privacy issues which makes way more sense
in reply to Pitermach

@pitermach It’s not simply mirroring, iPhone Mirroring to a Mac / iPad mirroring over SharePlay also allows you to remotely control the device, something that third party apps cannot do at the moment due to those APIs being locked down.

Third party apps can mirror the display (as they’ve been able to do for ages), but they can’t remotely control the device.

in reply to Shon

@ShonP40 Now that you mention it, yeah, that does make sense, that lack of remote control limitation slipped my mind. I recently watched a video where someone was trying to make an app to cheat at an iOS game, he found one remote control app that worked in a round about way simulating a mouse which was very slow so he ended up using a 3D printer head attached to a stylus to physically tap the screen
@Shon
in reply to Pitermach

@pitermach You’d probably need it to either be a USB or Bluetooth mouse/emulated mouse

+ you’d need to enable AssistiveTouch on the iPhone for it to even display a mouse

So like, it could work, but won’t be approved by the DMA

in reply to Pitermach

@pitermach I dunno, I think it might be. But if that's the case, what about AI in China? I would think there would be ways of getting around that, too. -t
in reply to Pitermach

@pitermach Also, if they're getting back at the EU for making Apple more compatible wwith other devices (Which we in the US wanted, anyway) that is definitely fucking petty.
in reply to Pitermach

it is petty, they’re just trying to throw 🇪🇺 users against the EC, hoping they would protest

However, this is just a “delay” and it’s quite early to say what’ll happen

in reply to Lukas Grossar

Yep, saw it.

Matt’s doing great work and this isn’t on him in any way.

This is an unacknowledged structural problem that has existed for at least eight years. It won’t be fixed solely with piecemeal effort funded by the commons.

To that point, from the post: “My current contract with the GNOME Foundation is ending soon, and we need to make sure that my current work is documented well enough that someone else can continue it if needed.”

Da Ihr gestern die Sonatine so mochtet, wie wäre es heute mit einer "Bagatelle" der #Komponistin Fanny Hensel (deren Bruder Felix Mendelssohn übrigens auch komponiert hat).

Das Stück ist wunderbar für ein kurzes Innehalten am Nachmittag, oder wann auch immer Ihr Euch das anhört.

(Meine innere Perfektionistin sagt, ich solle darauf hinweisen, dass die Aufnahme nicht superdupergut ist, aber die soll mal still sein.)

ok, look. i don’t understand social media.

nearly every day, i wake up & post the same video(s) to the same 4-5 sites & the reactions are often so different! which is fine, but it really does make understanding feedback a more… complex task than i’d prefer 😅

the biggest lesson i’ve learned: you can’t please everyone, so don’t try. just create things that make YOU happy, & do your best to improve if it’s within your scope and ability.

the world will learn to love you, or it won’t! what does it matter?? 🫶🏼

Kommentar: "Chatkontrolle" und auch Kinderschutz - vertagt

Sexuelle Gewalt gegen Kinder ist eines der abscheulichsten Verbrechen. Dennoch blockiert Deutschland in der EU ein Verfahren, um dagegen vorzugehen. Privatsphäre ist offenbar wichtiger als Kinderschutz, meint Kathrin Schmid.

Über den wohl dreistesten Raub an feministischen Forschungen im Fach Musikwissenschaft EVER. Fehlende, mangelnde & irreführende "Belege" – hier nur als Spitze des Eisbergs gelistet. Eine Expertinnengruppe fand noch wesentlich mehr & Gravierenderes.
Mit Dank an Prof. Dr. Rebecca Grotjahn – stellvertretend für die Fachschaft Frauen- & Gendermusik der Gesellschaft für Musikforschung – für diese überfällige & nötige Aufklärung & an @kontrovers für die Publikation 💎

EU surveillance mavens didn't have the votes to force tech companies to neuter their encryption, so they cancelled -- for now -- a vote.

This is obviously not the end of the matter. Governments absolutely hate the notion that they can't spy on everything, everyone, everywhere. So this dangerous measure will be back.
