Property ownership is inherently political. Not right/left political, but about the distribution of the economic wealth.

Docela by mě zajímalo jaká témata na fedi hledáte. Co vám tu skutečně chybí? Osobně nemám ten pocit, že by byl mastodon/fedi profilovaný jako geek místo. Jsou tu umělci různých oborů, vědci, zahrádkáři, je tu silná komunita kolem pletení a ručních prací. Mnoho z toho sleduju přes hashtagy na jiných instancích protože je toho ve výsledku tolik, že se to nedá v jedné timeline usledovat .... 🤷‍♂️

Following on from his excellent intro to #XR (eXtended Reality) #accessibility, Joe Lamyman's XR accessibility for people with seeing disabilities, is well worth a read:

I'm excited that I am now on Medium. My first post, entitled "An Introduction," is now live. I speak a little bit about my journey and some of the things for which I am really passionate, like accessibility and technology.

Is it my imagination, or has Safari gotten better at describing HTML errors in the past year? I'm previewing an xhtml file, and in addition to an offending line number where the error stops the page display, I have a reference back to a missing or incorrect tag that caused the problem. Kind of cool.


T-Mobile confirms it was hacked in the wave of recently reported telecom breaches conducted by Chinese threat actors to gain access to private communications, call records, and law enforcement information requests.

Položme si zásadní otázku.

Co Mastodon, potažmo jeho komunita udělala za poslední dva roky od posledního exodu z Twitteru/X pro to, aby byla schůdnější pro koncového uživatele?

Po tom, co si odpovíte na tuhle otázku, si uvědomte, jak funguje Bluesky i když není decentralizovaný. Odpadá tam babylon všech možných i nemožných instancí, dá se tam vyhledávat napříč příspěvky a netechnickému uživateli nepraská hlava, když se ho snaží pochopit. Prostě funguje, dokonce out of box.

Ono se to zdá jako prkotina, ale polovina běžnejch šmoulů, kteří si sice umí nainstalovat Threads, protože jim to řekne Instagram, nedokáže pochopit, jak s ní pořádně nakládat.

Tohle není hate, jenom jeden z pohledů, proč to dopadlo tak, jak to dopadlo.

Čím dřív si určití lidé uvědomí, že to není masovka, ale vlastně docela underground, bude se jim najednou líp dejchat. Některý bitvy prostě vyhrát nejdou.

A ono je to dost možná ve výsledku určitě dobře.

To any #Voiceover users who are considering trying BlueSky, a word of warning.
It’s technicaly accessible, but presents a few problems. focus is never on a post, but on an element within a post. So you may find the Like button rather than the post itself, and you need to swipe through every element of each post. That’s a real pain. Also, some buttons either don’t work at all or do something unexpected.
I found navigation very difficult and was never quite sure where I was.
I haven’t found any images with Alt Text either.
The layout isn’t great.
All in all, it’s a bit of a trial to use. It’s almost as if they haven’t really bothered with #Accessibility. Fancy that!
Perhaps I should persevere with it, but, quite frankly, life’s too short, so I won’t be using it.

@jscholes Thanks James, do you know about their API's possibilities? I.e., Is it possible to develop a fully-fledged app?
in reply to André Polykanine

It seems to be, yes. There are already alternative native apps in the iOS App Store, and they list clients as an expected use case in their API documentation. They also claim that their own mobile app uses exactly the same API they make available to developers, although I'm not sure how true that is.

If you find yourself following fedi conflicts and getting exhausted yet unable to look away, step back. Follow CA/B and certificate authority root program conflicts instead for a palette cleanser.

in reply to Seirdy

They’re the opposite of what goes on here. The issue at hand generally seems rather dry, and the parties in the wrong are generally obvious. But the fallout is fascinatingly measured, clear-cut, and diplomatic while the parties obviously in the wrong struggle to mitigate their errors as their entire business’ reputation is on the line. So there are enough stakes for it to matter, but for once you feel you have enough context and it doesn’t feel personal.


Finished @viscousplatypus’s “The Accessibility Operations Guidebook” this morning. Probably a good idea to read if you do digital accessibility and want to scale up your impact. I recommend.

This quote from a former independent consultant who has become an employee really lands.

WeasyPrint because holy shit they wrote a browser in Python! It beats major browsers at CSS fragmentation and paged media. And with much better (far from perfect) PDF accessibility.

A hidden catch of the new fancy EuroCity direct service between Brussels and Amsterdam: Since the train does not stop in Breda anymore, subscription holders with 100% discount on Dutch railways still have to pay for the journey from Rotterdam to the border.
Therefore the basic ticket price for such subscription holders went up almost twofold - from € 10,50 to € 20.

And of course, due to limitations of the NS international journey planner, you cannot force it to use the slower EuroCity service.

@freedomscientific In JAWS 2025, whenever I navigate in and out of lists in Microsoft Word or on a Web page, JAWS speaks the messages "entering list" and "exit list." I can find no way of disabling these announcements in the insert+V Speech Options dialog or in Settings Center; I've looked under Configure Speech Verbosity as well as the Speech and Sounds Manager. Is this found anywhere in the UI? If not, could this be added in Settings Center so that we can disable these announcements?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.

The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

Vtipný je, že Jack White chtěl po Legu, jestli by nebylo možné ke každému CD přidat LEGO figurky jeho a Meg a oni ho odmítli, že "We don't market our product to people over the age of twelve."

I think best ActivityPub : BlueSky analogy is X11 : SurfaceFlinger. The latter two have in common:

* Funded, capable product and engineering effort
* Open source bug no RMS vibes
* Many more users

The former two have:

* Some users who choose it on principle
* Fragmentation in the layers above
* Whining from the hangers-on

But fundamentally they solve overlapping but not identical problems. That's a fine thing.

Enjoy writing those modelines!

in reply to Raph Levien

Ouch. The fact that you compared ActivityPub to X11 and not Wayland implies that you think ActivityPub is already obsolete.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt That might not have been *entirely* fair, but it is what came to mind. I was thinking more about the intractability of solving problems like "high dpi" on the X11 side and "how to move instances seamlessly" on the ActivityPub side.
