Ugh, the maintainer of the Debian bcachefs-tools package just orphaned it because its Rust dependencies are moving too fast. jonathancarter.org/2024/08/29/…
So, I need to be careful not to cause that same problem in AccessKit, especially if my current (draft) merge request to use AccessKit in GTK 4 (via the C API) is finished and accepted.
yeah.. this is the main reason why with #rusticl my policy basically is "I use at most whatever FireFox ESR needs", because FireFox ESR is something every distro has to build and package unless they want to risk an insecure web browser.
can the versions used for gtk4-rs be a sensible baseline? That isn't easy to package for Debian either but so far Debian's Rust maintainers always got it in.
my impression is that it is more that the rust dependency handling is incompatible with how Debian wants to handle dependencies. Note that this is true for go, JS, ... just as well.
In the bcachefs case they built against *newer* dependencies than those the tool had set in their Cargo.toml.
I doubt you need to worry with accesskit: Debian will pick a version and never update that again anyway.
@hunger I probably do still need to be careful to minimize AccessKit's own dependencies, especially dependencies on pre-1.0 packages, so we don't have the situation where AccessKit depends on 0.x but Debian has foo 0.y (or 0.w).
Keep the MSRV low, that is about as much as you can do. At least the rustc the distros pick might still work then.
Distribution will force whichever version of dependencies they picked anyway... whether or not that causes the whole thing to crash or not.
I started to use `cargo install --locked` to make sure to get the binaries the devs tested and not some random crap mutilated by some distribution packager with no clue about rust or programming.
no he didn't. The version bcachefs-tools that has been shipping for 2 years in Debian stable is broken. Straight up does not work. There was a bug in bindgen 0.66 that makes it not work. So bcachefs first vendored a fixed version, and then updated to 0.69 which was fixed. The Debian maintainer decided to compile with 0.66 anyway, and didn't even test to see if it would work.
Coming up in the new academic year, I get to spend the semester with a fresh bunch of second-year students who are going on to learn some more logic than the first-year basics.
Like last year, in Intermediate Logic we’ll be exploring natural deduction proof theory and different kinds of models for propositional, modal and first-order predicate logic.
New this year, my Doktorvater, Prof. Graham Priest, will be joining us in the last week of classes, so we’ll have a fun back-and-forth about truth-value gaps, gluts and paradoxes to end things with a bit of a bang.
We just read this announcement about the unfortunate natural disaster that has impacted the headquarters of #Orbit Research in India. Bits sends our best wishes for the safety of all as they seek a return to normalcy. More can be read here. News about the delay in updates from Orbit Research groups.io/g/orbit-reader/messa…

Ich hab da die letzten Tage im Urlaub n kleines Script Abends gebastelt. Wenn jemand wie ich von #PocketCasts auf @AntennaPod umsteigen will. Hier mein Tool um mit nem eigenen Gpodder Server. bzw. myOPodSync seinen ganzen Verlauf zu syncen.
Gerne Teilen und mit helfen, das Tool besser zu machen. Meine Python skills sind beschraenkt, und da geht bestimmt noch einiges mehr :)
Isn’t it interesting how quickly Facebook rolled out a fix for a minor visual glitch, yet doesn’t bother when there are major issues for screen reader users. On iOS, it is still not possible to hear Voiceover feedback when typing a new post, and I believe that problem has existed for months on Android. I think that sums up FB’s attitude towards accessibility quite neatly, and they are far from alone in this. #SocialMedia #Accessibility Facebook says its new app icon was just a glitch after all 9to5mac.com/2024/08/30/faceboo…

Unmute Presents Jaws Tip: Quickly resetting to Factory Defaults
This episode covers troubleshooting software settings, focusing on the JAWS screen reader. It demonstrates how restoring JAWS to factory defaults can help identify if custom settings are causing issues. The host shows how different settings affect the speed and verbosity of JAWS, highlighting the importance of this initial step when troubleshooting. This simple technique can often resolve issues without…
Yesterday, I provided a link to a great article on the blindness leadership issue from Emma Bennison, and shared some thoughts of my own. I’ve become aware that some people have had difficulty accessing her article on LinkedIn. I have also had additional thoughts on the wider topic of blind leadership, expanding upon the remarks I made when I shared her post. I have written a detailed article on this important question, and with Emma’s permission, have included her article on the same page. I hope this helps this issue reach the widest possible audience. This truly is so important. mosen.org/UnitedBlindLeaders
Since about 2011 or so, I've had a Yamaha PSR-E223. It's been through quite a lot. The E2 and B5 keys no longer work properly, and the power socket is unstable, but it's still hanging on. It ships with 102 demo songs, most of them being traditional/classical music, with the first three being original. The first one, simply called Demo 1 in the manual, has always been one of my favorites. A funky track, primarily piano-focused but with some input from guitars and organs. Composer unknown.
I keep seeing references to a Dotpad device. When I go to their website, there are all these amazing descriptions, and such. But can you actually buy it? If yes, where? dotincorp.com/page/31?gbn2=Dot…
It is fixed in macOS 15.1 beta 3. Voiceover now reads the element that receives aria-activedescendant if I navigate using the arrow keys. The problem is that widgets that rely solely on aria-activedescendant are less likely to work with the Voiceover cursor, and the Voiceover cursor is the primary form of navigation for most Voiceover userss. While a pattern like the select only combobox in the aria authoring practices works seamlessly on Windows where screen readers automatically switch off virtual mode by default and pass the keystrokes to the browser, it is likely to be perceived as an inaccessible combobox by Voiceover users who primarily rely on Voiceover commands to drive the UI. In any case the bug is fixed, and that is great news.
