Phew, after my recent survey about code editors for screen reader users on the Mac, I just now installed VS Code on my current Macs and started with a fresh install. And wow, in the over two years I hadn't used it, because I wasn't doing any coding, a lot has changed! Announcement sounds, signal sounds, accessibility help, hover support, viewing everything in an accessibility view, which is essentially a plain text view, and some other new features are really making this a joy to use. And the accessibility documentation alone is quite massive now. Of course, with new editor features there will also be new accessibility challenges, but the overall consistent system of mechanisms is quite nice to use. Here's the documentation for your enjoyment: code.visualstudio.com/docs/edi…

Two things that confuse me in Visual Studio Code to this day are, for one, the tabs versus editor groups concept. Are the tabs purely a visual thing, and each file gets its own editor group automatically? Or can an editor group have multiple open files, AKA multiple tabs? Somehow these seem very closely related and overlapping, but somehow also confusing if you can't see things visually.

The second concept: Multiple Cursors. Can I even use these as a blind person, and if so, what would I use them for? And how would I use them with the keyboard? Replies welcome.

Still unclear what's happening in June, around The European Accessibility Act for websites and apps?
Martijn Hols wrote a great summary, what accessibility is and who it is for, who is targeted by the new EAA and who is exempt (microenterprises).
How to be compliant? Well, you must mostly follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines (for now, expect and update to WCAG 2.2 late 2025), and publish an accessibility statement.

The 2 deadlines to remembers:
- June 28, 2025: all new developments must comply (yes, even if it’s as small as changing a button).
- June 28, 2027: existing services must comply (so you have 2 more years to make your whole current site/app compliant).

JFC. Reading this just as I'm feeling especially discouraged about staying in coding was probably not a good idea.

Meanwhile, over on Twitter/X, sending links to connect via #Signal are blocked and marked as malware.

I am sure this is just an unfortunate bug ;)

FWIW, it's not clear from the alt text that the whole first image, and apparently part of the second one, is quoting someone else, and then you're responding. I understood by the time I read the alt text of all three images, but at first it sounded like even the first image might have been you talking. Yeah, it sucks that the screenshot can be arbitrarily rich, while the accessible version is just a linear plain-text string.

No more 40 hours: Spanish government reduces workweek
The Spanish government has taken the first legislative steps towards reducing the working week from 40 to 37.5 hours, without loss of pay. The reduction, agreed after more than a year of political wrangling, would affect around 12 million workers, and would make Spain one of the world's first major economies to implement such a policy.

I just migrated my personal #XMPP server based on #Prosody to its own #selfhosted server. I could not believe how easy it was, including transferring configuration, accounts, stored messages/files, etc.

BTW, the new server is just tiny, with 1GB of RAM, and it still seems to use only a fraction of it.

I suppose this is the result of dealing with an amazing protocol (XMPP) coupled with an excellent piece of technology (Prosody) 👏
