Love this piece from @teenvogue.bsky.social on how gender has varied around the world, across time. LOADS of cultures recognize more than two genders. teenvogue.com/story/gender-var…

There may not be much good news around at the moment, so let's make sure we celebrate it when we see it.

Today is a great day for LGBT folk in Thailand. Really happy for all those who have finally been allowed to get married today.

Google's blog post about TalkBack and the latest Android accessibility enhancements: First coming to Samsung Galaxy S25 series, the Braille HID standard will be supported. This will work on any phone or tablet using Android 15 in the near future. TalkBack will also provide more detailed image descriptions, powered by Gemini models, on Galaxy S25 devices in the coming weeks.

@bagder Heellooo there

So, daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/06/09…

Is this just a bit out of date information in this post? Not finding libcurl on playstation 5.

I'd love for it to be there and I'm just silly and missing something, seeing one post that says one thing and another that says another. :D

Tack för allt ❤

When not dabbling in undusting the venerable Email system we play with rewiring the Web to free it from the possibility of billionaire platforms. With a nod to @pluralistic 's "Ulysses Pact" we just published "Replacing billionairish platforms with ZIP files" highlighting a bunch of new #webxdc features and community developments. The challenge is on who wants to join in de-platforming Venture-Capital-backed web apps that try to mediate our private communications delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxd…

Also, because we might really need this right now, I thought I might try to post more unique accessibility practice examples from all around the world. Can't promise this being a regular thing as I don't have nearly as many examples at hand but as long as I've got the ideas, I'll try to post one every day. Here's one. While researching something else, I came across the "Plan an accessible journey" guide of the Transport of London where I have learnt that it is possible to order live updates on bus arrivals by text message. Not sure how practical this is or how many people use it but I love examples of accessibility being implemented in times where it wasn't just a matter of adopting an app according to common guidelines and you had to be creative to find a way of accommodating your customers. tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibi… #Blind #Accessibility

My first contribution to #NoonScrolling: the 200th birthday of Louis Braille is being celebrated this year. On that occasion, the Braille working group of the European Blind Union hosts a year-long project, where each day a Braille-related piece is featured. Want to learn about a German man who's learnt 400 poems by heart by reading them in Braille first? They've got you covered! Looking for that Spanish summer hit of 2018 with millions of Youtube displays that references Braille? OK, that one is a bit far-fetched but still meets the filter so right you are. I love the advent calendar style of this, there is one new story to discover every day. I don't think they would say no to your contribution if you had one still: livingbraille.eu/ #Braille #Blind #Accessibility

The whole "Roman salute" thing needs some clarification. There's no such thing as a "Roman salute". It was made up by fascists in Italy and then copied by the nazi regime. Only fascists use it. End of story.

Well, maybe solving this allowing to use a custom project's policy is a way for a smooth transition for something better.
AFAIU end users (like vulnerability scanners) rely on LOW/HIGH/CRITICAL/... scale anyway. So, this number is just an intermediate most of the time between curl's scale and scanner's scale that use the same system.

Remember the pretty-looking Windows 3.1 "high resolution" mode possible with Viaduct now? Well, as it turns out, the boot logo is displayed by a different piece of code, so despite the new driver it was still in 640x200, and thus, very ugly. 🤮

This isn't part of the DDK at all, so I had to disassemble the CGA and Hercules editions of the logo display code from Windows 3.1 binaries, then bodge one together, that can display the EGA monochrome logo in 640x400. 🤪 👍
