We just got our first feedback on our RB builder setup scripts (codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/rbuil…) today, and that made us really happy, seeing a goal achieved:
> I did set up and ran your scripts in my Ubuntu server (noble) and found the process of setting it up a breeze, and it helped me a lot into finding the source of the issue.
So if you're an Android dev looking into getting your app RB, it might be worth a try!

Ever seen fancy italics, bold text, or even gothic letters in a slick marketing post on social media?
These platforms do not offer text formatting, so people use weird mathematical characters from the fringes of the Unicode spectrum. And because they aren't really letters screen reader software will announce them as silence or incomprehensible garbage.

I posted something on Mastodon that uses Unicode math symbols to produce fake bold and fake italic text. I used YayText.com to generate it, but I am not linking it because you I don’t want you to use it.Adrian Roselli

Financovani gastro provozu musi byt peklo. Z mnoha duvodu (prodavaji neplatcum, operuji kolem danove nevyhodne hranice obratu, maji velky podil prace na cene...). A provozovatele to resi ruzne. Lepe i hure.
V Liberci mam rad jednu hospodu. Vyborne jidlo, pivo, rad tam chodim. Akorat tam obcas berou karty a obcas ne. Terminaly na ruzne firmy (jina firma na raut na obed, jina na vikend...).

Tesla stans: "that Mark Rober video is fake—at the very end, Autopilot was off!"
People who actually pay attention to Tesla: "yeah, there seems to be this funny issue where Autopilot turns off before an imminent crash, which is pretty shady behavior likely related to trying to dodge responsibility for their failures. Thank you *so much* for bringing this matter to everyone's attention."

Honored. Inspired. Driven.
Last week at #CSUN2025, we had the incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside some of the most innovative minds in accessibility and assistive technology. As a fully remote team, gathering in person is always meaningful, but being part of conversations that shape the future of our technology makes it even more special.
We’re grateful for the chance to hear from industry leaders, learn from fellow innovators, and connect with Explorers (both new and those who have been here from the start) who shape the work we do every day. Having a seat at this table is an honor, and we’re more committed than ever to making Aira the best it can be.
Thank you, Center on Disabilities at CSUN, for another unforgettable year!
