One more GNOME development and socializing meetup in Hamburg with @camelCaseNick and @FineFindus ! Today was a really productive day. @FineFindus created a libadwaita MR for some API we also want in Papers, and merged a locatization MR in udisks-rs. And @camelCaseNick and Ihelped debugging the libadwaita code and got 5 MRs in Papers in! As always, send us a message if you come around!
#GNOME #Papers #postmarketOS #Hamburg
This is an important effort to help explore what can be done to make the #Web less energy-hungry…. and thereby help reduce the impact of the overall #Internet on #ClimateChange. (Since web traffic is such a huge amount of Internet traffic.) Good to see this happening!

I also link other resources that are not mine.
I ran across a survey from Tilburg University on the experiences and perspectives of image describers. It asked what process I follow to write image alternative text, and it occurred to me that I don’t use a checklist or guideline anymore.Adrian Roselli

"The thing that nobody tells you is that you can buy a real human skull online (shoutout to skullsunlimited.com). We did that, and then CT scanned it."
I must say, going into the business of selling real human skulls, and then deciding on skullsunlimited.com as a domain is a particular kind of person.
