I think the tide is starting to turn in GNOME and free desktop accessibility for blind people. Check out this positive message on the Orca mailing list, from a former vocal critic of free desktop accessibility: freelists.org/post/orca/Thanks…

Note: This has nothing to do with the work I did earlier this year prototyping a new Wayland-native accessibility stack. So I'm not being self-congratulatory.

The GNOME Foundation Board is seeking input on what people would like to see from GUADEC in the future. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Feedback wanted: what do you want from GUADEC?

The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is planning to revisit our future events strategy, particularly the question of where GUADEC should be held. We would like to hear input from the community before we discuss it ourselves.

@torvalds on the removal of some [russian] entries from the MAINTAINERS file:

lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3Dwh…

"'It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted [...]

[…] the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. […]

[…] I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

Bear in mind that the difference between a "disposable" vape and a "technically rechargeable" one is basically just the addition of a USB port that had to be intentionally removed from the off-the-shelf electronics used to make it.

Selling "technically rechargeable" devices as cheaply as the "disposable" ones they replace won't fix the problem.

Russell Contreras zeroes in on findings of the PRRI "Challenges to Democracy" study. Who, precisely wants to round up immigrants and put them into camps?

79% of Republicans vs. 22% of Democrats

75% of white evangelicals
61% of white Catholics
58% of white mainline Protestants

I guess we’re still a long way away from calling this what it is: white supremacy AND anti-Blackness

Mediocre, unremarkable white dudes getting graded at a lower standards but receiving greater outcomes is NOT new but this time, like George Floyd, it’s too obvious to ignore

Jen dva týdny poté, co známý rybář a dobrodruh Jakub Vágner chytil na Vranovské přehradě na Znojemsku rekordního sumce o délce 264 centimetrů, oznámil další monstrózní úlovek. Obří ryba, kterou chytil u hradu Bítov, měřila 252 centimetrů.

Let's restart the highscore thread again, people are saying it got too long. End of the previous thread: mk.nyaa.place/notes/9zoixlwqn6…
So I figured out how to keep touchpads working in gamepad mode ^^ It involved reverse engineering the payload for the ID_SET_DIGITAL_MAPPINGS feature report - neither SDL nor kernel driver do it, so I didn't have any reference this time.

Anyway, now touchpads are fully working, with the same behavior as for Steam's gamepad action set - right touchpad moves pointer and does a left click on press, left touchpad does a right click on press and that's it. I'm not sure why it doesn't also scroll, but I wanted to keep it consistent (steam's desktop action set scrolls it and middle clicks on press instead, tho it does mean you have to use L2 to right click)

When Steam is running, you still have to switch to gamepad action set or you'll have double input, but I don't think I have any way of mitigating that - oh well. When Steam is not running, it will switch everything automatically at least, so at this point it's probably good enough. I'm yet to find an example of any app doing it well, so I don't think libmanette apps would stand out in a bad way here.

So, at this point I mostly just need to clean up the code and think again about what the public API should look like.

That said, I want to rework libmanette API entirely. It's not in a very good state right now, it's a lot more convoluted than it needs to be.

Do you love and/or hate HoTT or dependent type theory? Come do a Ph.D. with me to develop applications of HoTT to verified functional programming and/or think outside the box about how we can make dependent type theory work better.

I recently received a grant to study the Univalent Verification of Parameterized Structures, and I need Ph.D. students to spend that money on. Application deadline December 15 to start Fall 2025. Lots more info here: carloangiuli.com/pages/phd-rec…
