On this date in 2018, I started my US visa "journey" after they first had denied me to travel to the US and then denied me ESTA. It would eventually take 937 days until I got the visa.
Here's the complete timeline of events. From my first denial to travel to the US until I eventually received a tourist visa. And then I can't go anyway. December 5-11, 2016 I spent a week on Hawaii with Mozilla - my employer at the time.
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trumpβs America: donβt do it
For #3dprinting folks and Americans in particular, this is a video of Polymaker's factory that is in Houston. They've been producing their filament there for over a year now and they are rather experienced as I am sure you will find. This is interesting content. youtube.com/watch?v=bS0hTtDYVuβ¦

In French, we call foxes βrenardsβ, although before the 13th century we used to call them βgoupilsβ, from the Latin βvulpesβ. It changed because of a famous character in medieval literature who was an anthropomorphic fox named βRenartβ, which has the same origin as the German name Reinhardβheβs actually still called Reynard in English. The stories of Renart were so popular that the name replaced the original noun. Itβs like if nowadays people called cats garfields. rivals.space/@Meylody/11227446β¦
Disability Rights UK (who do fantastic disability rights handbooks) have come out in solidarity with trans folk after yesterday's decision with a much better and stronger statement than Stonewall managed (they "share the deep concern")
This is what solidarity looks like at its most basic. Supporting each other, recognising the connections that are shared, and speaking the fuck out.

For anyone interested in immersive 3d #audio, would you mind giving this proposal some love for #Godot please?

It's a game engine. It's certainly more accessible than before, its custom-drawn UI has screen reader support for most UI elements. Still a bit rough around the edges, but it's been merged in and it works.
You will have to compile it for your OS for now, the official release does not have it yet. Should be there in around october otherwise, and they publish development builds, the next one should be around 2-3 weeks from now.
While thereβs no definitive playbook for building an accessibility culture, Dani shares lessons from his experience in shaping it through habits rather than mandates.

We've recently seen serious spam attacks against Matrix, so we're introducing Policy Servers to recommend whether servers should accept or discard events *before* they get synced to clients. If your server participates in public rooms, see matrix.org/blog/2025/04/introd⦠to keep it safe.
Can you tell us where this was so we can update this? (If this is our donation share, we've been asking them to add Mastodon for a while, but they haven't been able to yet.)
I paid money to support Thunderbird: First of all there were this four buttons on your web interface (I couldn't get a screen dumb). Same choices i got in the following email from give(at)thunderbird(dot)net.
Our donation processor has a lot of defaults as far as social platforms. We've been asking them about adding Mastodon for a while now, but so far they haven't been able to. But we'll keep asking!
Tab key testing is here with cy.press()! This long-requested feature gives you the ability to trigger real native keyboard events in your tests, starting with support for the Tab key.
Django 5.2 was released last Wednesday, another exciting step forward for our favourite web framework. It comes with a composite of new features, contributed to by many, some of which I am happy to have helped with.
Our latest volume of the State of the Thunder is up, and its all about mobile! Learn what's on our upcoming roadmap and how we made it, find out what we're planning for iOS, how our community is contributing (and how you can join!)
I'm a bit confused on the localisation front, because here you say that you use weblate, but currently Thunderbird's only project on weblate seems to be Thunderbird for Android, wheras Thunderbird Desktop and thunderbird.net are on pontoon. I'm wondering where we might expect future project's localisation to be based from (like the Thunderbird Pro stuff).
Spring is back, bringing with it the return of our traditional Dev Updates, which youβve clearly missed, and a fresh wave of improvements across the Jami ecosystem!

Unlike git-blame, which can tell you who wrote a line of code, git-who tells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase. You can think of git-who sort of like git-blame but for file trees rather than individual files.
"By choosing platforms like Mastodon, we champion community-driven technology over profit-driven manipulation" in other words, we, the workers, seize the means of production? phillipjreese.com/the-social-nβ¦
As users flee from Twitter/X, two visions of social media's future compete: Mastodon's community-controlled network versus Bluesky's venture-backed promises.
