Good to see Matrix getting traction with various organisations and governments as a replacement for big tech chat platforms.

In an increasingly volatile world, governments turn to Element and Matrix

Governments need digitally sovereign, secure and interoperable communications. The demand for Matrix is palpable.

#introduction I'm Garrett, a newly-minted math MS from Montana State. I'm interested in homotopy type theory & proof assistants (particularly on the "assistant" side, e.g. streamlining their use, implications on written proofs and math communication). Besides math, I've played viola for most of my life, and enjoy talking about movies, cooking/baking, playing board games and video games (especially Splatoon!), and hugging friends

How 3D Pedestrian Crossings Are Slowing Down Speeding Drivers in Iceland


 In the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in pedestrian crossing safety has just popped up – almost literally. Speed bumps has been painted that appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion. Not only does

In the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in pedestrian crossing safety has just popped up – almost literally.


Speed bumps has been painted that appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion. Not only does the innovative design give foot-travelers the feeling of walking on air, but the 3D painting also gets the attention of drivers, who will be sure to slow down their speed once they spot the seemingly floating ‘zebra stripes.’

Icelandic environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla called for its placement in Ísafjörður after seeing a similar project being carried out in New Delhi, India. With the help of street painting company Vegmálun GÍH, his vision of pedestrian crossing signs became a reality.

This study explores the accessibility of online courses at a Midwestern University. The results show that most faculty are not implementing accessibility features. Instead, they are taking a more reactive approach. When a student with an accommodation enrolls in a course then accessibility features are implemented. There is a need for universities to be more proactive and create accessible documents and video/audio materials. #accessibility eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1171774

I'm really happy we can finally announce some #lemmy#accessibility work myself, @MostlyBlindGamer, @dhamlinmusic, and the other Rblind admins have been working on for a while. We've just released two open-source themes, light and dark, for Lemmy that should be more accessible and usable for #blind and low vision folks. You can read the details, and please provide feedback, here: www.rblind.com/post/3476242#a11y#fediverse#opensource

@Samuel Proulx @MostlyBlindGamer @D.Hamlin.Music Yes, what an achievement. I don't know how I have missed all your activities related to rblind.com. If you are looking for some inovative fediverse client for android to browse its contents I have started using Raccoon for Friendica recently which is also working fine with Mastodon and its forks. It has some nice accessibility related features like accessibility actions when browsing timeline, as few swipes in the timeline as possible, alt text for images, ability to play audio files attached to posts. And even more.

EDIT: started a new job last week!
Hey friends,

I'm restarting my job search; I had an offer, but it fell through.

Remote US preferred, but hybrid Washington, DC works too. I have 17-ish YOE as a software engineer, and have worked on both frontend and backend, but I lean toward the backend.

#Elixir #Phoenix, #Python #Django, and #React are what I know best.

Hoping to #GetFediHired
