Congrats to the @thunderbird team and especially @cketti for the Thunderbird Android release! 🎉
It's been a while since the Prototypefund [1] days and me complaining about the white icon background during 36C3 and being responsible for the pink icon background about an hour later [2]. (Which caused a steady supply of angry users after this was released as a stable version 1.5 y later.)
Sorry but not sorry😅.

add background color to adaptive icons by Bubu · Pull Request #4411 · thunderbird/thunderbird-android
This adds a desaturated version of K9-Mails envelope color as the adaptive icon background color. This should look a lot better than a plain white background. Also slightly enlarge the icon shape. ...GitHub
Question for #screenreader users: do text emotes like kaomoji generally cause your tools to read out noise or annoying nonsense, or does it just not pronounce it? I am wondering whether it's okay to use them or whether I should go back to good old emoji (that, to my knowledge, get properly read out).
Like this one:

Next I'll see if I can make a version where the early code stays at the bottom of the graph.
@jvossen I'm writing a tiny custom script for this that generates all the data, then I render graph from that using gnuplot. I have them all in a git repo, but I'm still polishing these ones.

Something worth reiterating: The fediverse consists of people, no algorithms here. Anything you see happens because someone took the time to interact with a post (e.g. boost) or typed out a post or a reply.
A lot of posts deserve attention, so don't be afraid to boost or favorite what you read Favoriting shows that someone out there actually read the post and liked it. Engagement is key.
Be kind and interact away!

"Hyphenation point, degree, hyphenation point, degree"
to
"Hyphenation point, degree, middle dot, left paren, right paren, hyphenation point, degree, middle dot"
This is how most screen reader users will experience Kaomoji.

in reply to NV Access • • •You CAN set how NVDA reads words or character strings. I just made a dictionary entry to read ˚‧º·(Ëš ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ as "Cute Crying Kaomoji". It works fine, but most users won't have set that. I did reach out to Microsoft about this recently as the Kaomoji panel in the Windows emoji panel is also inaccessible. They are aware of the issue, but don't have a solution. Unicode defines a standard list of emoji descriptions: unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-… if they add kaomojis we could utilise it.

in reply to NV Access • • •@NVAccess That's very enlightening, thank you! I suppose it's not really a solvable problem with dictionaries, because as opposed to standard smileys like colon and uppercase D - this one :D - Kaomoji are very, very varied and can be personalized.
I am wondering whether some traditional machine learning classifier could be good at detecting what is and what isn't a smiley.
