The gnome-control-center panel I’ve been working on for the last many weeks is now ready for review, including a new chart widget for showing time spent using the computer screen (so you have some visibility into your compute use habits).

Glad to finally have this off my plate and on its way to being reviewed and hopefully merged.

Screenshot of a computer user interface, the settings application for GNOME. It’s showing a ‘Wellbeing’ panel, with a chart of recent time spent using the computer screen, and settings for limiting this for yourself, to help your digital wellbeing.

Anyone got recommendations for an uncomplicated video editor accessible with a screen reader? Don't really care which platform it's on. I thought Reaper could do this, but when I edited and exported, I lost the video portion of the project somehow. Don't need anything fancy, nor do I want to have to spend hours learning the thing. Really just need to cut Bits out, but not just trimming from beginning or end.

@Ricky Enger Although it's an electron based app lossless-cut is one of the great ffmpeg frontents usefull for cutting videos. It has a lot of built-in keyboard shortcuts and it's very customizable. I'm using it with orca on linux, but I know other folks are using it with nvda on windows.

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!

A few months ago I wrote about how I approach alternative text for images and tried to offer context for each of my considerations.

My Approach to Alt Text

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.
