We’re celebrating 20 years of Thunderbird this year! It’s been an incredible journey for our users, the dedicated team of contributors who have worked on it and of course our amazing open-source community who has been there every step of the way. 🎉 To mark this occasion, check out this beautiful video by @freehive and see how Thunderbird is ready for the next 20 years.
On December 7, 2004, Thunderbird 1.0 was released. Now, 20 years later, we’re celebrating two decades of secure, open-source email communication! 🎉 This new...
NPR: Over 11 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry were recalled over listeria concerns, affecting salads, wraps, frozen meals and more from popular chains like Target, Trader Joe's and Walmart.#news #NPRnpr.org/2024/10/16/nx-s1-51548…
My very basic, personal Web site has reached the point at which I could write a blog post. I have now written a brief post documenting the decisions made in the site's development so far. I hope someone finds this information useful. jasonjgw.net/blog/technology/w… #WebDevelopment #accessibility
As far as I can see (I have some usable vision), the site is indistinguishable from one with no CSS. Might be a good idea to double check the link to the CSS.
Ah, I think I found the problem. The link to the stylesheet is a relative path, but it assumes that the base URL is in the root directory of the site. That's not the case for blog posts.
@matt The best way for me to detect such an issue as a screen reader user would presumably be to query font attributes (as long as I know what the defaults would be in the absence of the correct CSS). The slightly more interesting approach would be to submit a screenshot to an image-processing large language model and ask for a description of the styling.
Pierre Poilievre’s refusal to get a national security clearance so he can read the report on foreign interference in Canada’s elections is raising eyebrows, with many suggesting that maybe he can’t get a security clearance because he poses a security…
Overcast. If you are a Overcast user, and you currently pay the subscription of $10 a year, please be aware that Marco Arment is planning on raising the subscription price. The new price has not yet been determined, but could increase to $15 a year. You should know that the $10 a year has been in effect since 2016, 8 years. He discussed this on his podcast Under the Radar, which you can check out here... relay.fm/radar/303
@overcastfm I have no issue with Overcast raising the subscription price if that's what the developer feels is necessary in order to ensure its sustainability. However, I recently chose to let my subscription lapse due to the recent VoiceOver regressions. While in a playlist, finding two buttons announced as "dimmed, pop-up button" after some podcasts was the last straw, along with double-tapping a podcast, hearing "play button" and then having focus move to another button. If these two items are addressed and if show notes are spoken while focussing on a podcast, I will renew my subscription but I won't subscribe to an app that I can no longer effectively use. As an aside, why not add "Play Podcast" as a rotor option while pointing to a podcast.
@DavidGoldfield @overcastfm I switched away from overcast because I could not dismiss the now playing, so every time I wanted to watch something new, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Thunderbird for Android 8.0b3 is out! There are two things we'd really love help testing. One is the funding feature! (thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…). The other is the QR code sync between desktop and mobile (thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…). Thanks to everyone who has helped beta test and given feedback!
I know that is not the place for that but I don't have github account. When I send a message, it is not save on the send folder. Same thing happen with k9

I really feel sorry for the public sector employees working on meeting this #a11y deadline for PDFs.
"PDFs are where services go to die."
No doubt the people working on this will be super under-resourced, and actually meeting this deadline won't be seen as much of a win by anyone, but not meeting it has legal and dire consequences.
To be clear more #a11y is good! Under-resourcing teams is not!
Here in the United States, "I'm voting Green" is just a shorthand way of saying "I'm voting for the cheaper Putin lickspittle to help the more expensive Putin lickspittle get back into the White House."
To the Green supporters/Russian bots about to fume in the comments about how their vote is in fact something else than the above, here is my pre-emptive reply:
“Under [Stallman’s] ideological leadership, the free software movement is unsafe, particularly for women. Women represent just 3% of the free software community, compared to 23% of industry programmers generally. This is no accident.”
This, 100%. Thank you for saying out in the open what we have all lived, survived, observed, and known to be true for decades. Now that F/OSS can’t look away, what will we do about it? The fish rots from the head, after all…
October 14th, 2024 Richard Stallman (aka “RMS”) is the founder of GNU and the Free Software Foundation and present-day voting member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) board of directors and “Chief GNUisance” of the GNU project.

"RESOLUTION: We will explore having a set of required provisions that is somewhat comparable to WCAG 2.2 A & AA and a set of provisions and assertions that can be used to build upon that through points, percentages, or predefined sets of provisions (modules)."
A world of color and texture could soon become more accessible to people who are blind or have low vision, via new software that narrates what a camera records.
This weekend I managed to get #wmbus receiver working. 🎉
Our housing cooperative installed new hot water and heater meters with radio readings. I found out it uses 868Mhz wmbus protocol and that there is an #ESPHome extension adding support for this. I only needed encryption keys, which I was provided with by the cooperative.

@KE8UPE @1password I was also surprised that 1Password wasn't mentioned in that review. However, different reviewers have their reasons for including some titles and excluding others.
@1password The only thing that really bothers me & surprisingly, no one, not even Reddit support can help, but I have an account with the username TechGeek219. I have 2FA enabled & lost my codes & don't recall it ever giving me backup codes. How do you recommend I proceed?

William Rowan Hamilton invents quaternions, a 3D system of complex numbers.
Important precursors to this work included Euler's four-square identity (1748) & Olinde Rodrigues' parameterization of general rotations by 4 parameters (1840), but neither of these writers treated the four-parameter rotations as an algebra. Carl Friedrich Gauss had discovered quaternions in 1819, but this work was not published until 1900.

Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”
