Na Twitter zavládlo "odcházení" a jedním z cílů je Mastodon. Trochu zvláštní sociální síť. Takže jsem o víkendu strávil pár hodin psaním návodu, zkoumáním, zkoušením a testováním. Třeba jste odcházející a bude se vám to hodit.

I turned off cross-posting from and to Twitter now. It just doesn’t work for me. It feels weird to see RTs here and Mastodon handles on Twitter.

Mastodon is not a cheap copy of the hellsite, but a platform of its own with a healthy, respectful community. 💚

I will, however, microblog on my own personal website more and syndicate the posts to different platforms. #IndieWeb FTW! I wrote about it here:

I wrote a nano tool that tries to extract the #Fediverse accounts of your #Twitter followings: fedifinder.glitch.me/

It searches for the patterns @user@host.tld, user@host.tld and host.tld/@user in the screen name, description, location and URL field. It displays them to you in the correct format for easy copying as well as a CSV download that can be imported to #Mastodon.

New version: fedifinder-backup.glitch.me/

I got fed up writing FFmpeg commands. Its unintuitive, and can get ugly and complicated quickly

A couple of months ago, I built this GUI to help me write complex ffmpeg filtergraphs that we have been using internally and decided to launch today.

There has recently been a huge rush of people trying out Mastodon. I love it. This is also noticeable in the number of people reading my earlier Mastodon Guide. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a brief list of usage tips that I wish I had at hand when first setting up my Mastodon home.

Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.

Dear @Thunderbird in version 102 you have added spaces toolbar. In version 107 nightly you have added list button on the message list toolbar that can be used to reorder message list columns. Would you consider moving these to the view menu where these make perfect sense in order to make keyboard only users happier? I know you would like to make them easier to discover but discoverability is short term goal and usability is here to stay.

I'm blind and I had no idea October was blindness awareness month. So we need a blindness awareness month awareness month, preferably September. :)

1. I don't see anything: no shapes or colours. Occasionally get some (possibly placebo) light perception. Only intensity, no direction or colour or size of focus.
2. I do use braille.
3. But I mostly use TTS to access my computer.
4. I have work now, but it was difficult to get.
5. I don't do eye contact and I rock sometimes. Sighties don't like it.

Recently a friend recommended me to try out this awesome looking GPS navigation app specifically designed for visualy disabled users.
Seeing Assistant Move: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Unfortunately I can't make it work on my Android 12 device. The app never receives GPS signal eventhough all the permissions are granted.
Do you know someone who is using it on Android? #Android #Accessibility

Thanks for posting this transcript and for the informative & well-written talk, as ever!

Highlights for me:

- Filling in the gaps in my knowledge of GNOME a11y history
- GitLab has inline code coverage markers on MRs 🤯
- Big recursion energy to fix the a11y of the code coverage tool used by the a11y code
- The Gru's Plan meme reminded me of the first paragraph of this 10½-year-old post by Colin which I think about at least once a month blog.verbum.org/2011/12/06/the…

Is it me or is #Google slowly removing accessibility support from #android #aosp apps?
I'm running android 12.1 and included calendar and keyboard are no longer accessible. Keyboard is not a problem for me, as I am using 3rd party braille keyboards either soft braille keyboard or the one included within corvus suite of apps.
However I am unable to find an accessible calendar app.
Etar is partially accessible, only the agenda view is useable with the screen reader.
Simple calendar has accessibility issues.
Have you got some more tips?
Peter Vágner reshared this.

Congrats @gnome #Amberol is very #accessible music player! Player controls including volume and skip sliders, playlist view, playlist selection all these features can be used with keyboard alone and screen reader turned on. If GTK issues like inaccessible shortcuts window, role names part of the controls labels will get fixed in the future it would really become fully complete in terms of #a11y.

Wow, ok, this is freaky.

New computer. Fedora Silverblue 36. Not signed into anything. Location services is on (using Mozilla location services). I’ve been living in Ireland now for 3+ years.

I open GNOME Maps app. I grant it location access. I press the “Go to current location” button.

It goes to the exact location of the home we had in Malmö, Sweden.

What. The. Fuck?

OK, so I have no idea how that’s possible. Mozilla must have somehow cached that location but how do they know it’s me?

in reply to Aral Balkan

Fucking hell, as some of you have pointed out in the comments, also, it’s tied to my router. I have the same router I had in Malmö. If this is not a GDPR violation, I have no idea what is.

So Mozilla – Defender of Privacy™ – is storing my location history, tied to my router, without ever having gotten consent from me to do so.

This is a fucking scandal.
