Heute ist #Sehbehindertentag
Anlässlich dessen starte ich einen Aufruf an die internationale #Linux und #FOSS Entwicklungsgemeinde
Sehr gerne #boost
Egal, ob ihr an der Entwicklung einer Linux- oder #BSD-Distribution beteiligt seid oder ob ihr #OpenSource-Programme programmiert:
Bitte geht auf blinde, sehbehinderte, motorisch eingeschränkte #Menschen zu und bindet sie mit in die Entwicklung ein.
Holt euch Feedback ein, ob eure #Software vollumfänglich zB mit einem #Screenreader nutzbar ist, oder welche Herausforderungen dabei bestehen.
Am Beispiel dieses Threads von @WestphalDenn , der hier beschreibt, welche Beeinträchtigungen er für seinen Anwendungsfall Audio-Bearbeitung erlebt (und warum er zurück zu Windows wechselt, was ja nicht im Sinne von FOSS-Enthusiast*innen sein kann, oder?)
Do you ever stumble upon an old Excel file that's locked with a password and you can't remember what it is? This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if the file contains valuable data! 😩
In my latest video, I show you a surprisingly easy way to remove worksheet protection from any Excel file, even if you don't have the password! This trick is perfect for those times when you're locked out of your own information.
The best part? You don't need any fancy software to do it! Just a little bit of text editing will do the trick. 😉

The constant push and pull of users and developers to always have the latest, and sysadmins and distributions who prefer ironing out everything instead of seeing flavor-of-the-month bugs pop up left and right... It's a tale as old as time.

I really appreciate Thunderbird's team, and these updates are going to finally put it into the running with other modern offerings. I migrated to using it as my daily driver for email management a few years ago, and I'm glad I did, but I'm also so excited to be looking at desktop improvements and an android app.

Hi @AntennaPod people, thanks for all your hard work! Very happy with your FLOSS app. IMHO the best podcast available on Android. Looking forward updating to the latest version. Keep up the good work!

4. Paperwork: I have many invoices, serial numbers, contracts, acts and many other legal stuff. Everyone does but the problem with me is that I am helping some others with their paperwork. With advanced organization capability of DT I can very easily see which paper belongs to whom and whether I have already filled it, whether its a template that I can reuse over and over to ask my dear government for a piece of bread or whatever else that comes to mind. Another awesome thing is the automatic OCR feature, I have set up a simple smart rule which automatically OCRs every non-textual PDF, and since DT interfaces with Finereader's engine the results is very good, I would dare to say its better than the official Finereader for Mac, but that is subjective, might be inaccurate or accurate only in certain scenarios, be ware.
I have just wrote four things that came to mind otherwise this would become the second Bible, but the tool has endless use cases. Its not cheap and its not for everyone, but if you want to try it it has a very fair trial. If you have any questions, let me know. Let's learn DEVON Think together!

I'm still concerned but the Python Software Foundation's post about the #EU's Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) makes me optimistic that it could work for #FreeSoftware. I do agree with the core idea that #commercial #software companies should be held more accountable than they currently are. The key is getting it just right so that anyone can write whatever free software they feel like writing, and share it on the internet, without having to get a lawyer first.

Listening to Michael Meeks of @CollaboraOffice at #SFSCon explaining how one of the challenges of digital sovereignty is sustainably funding #OpenSource while maintaining the full promise of #Software Freedom.
He has run through many possible business models and said at the end of each how it depends on an ever growing market to be viable. How can we fund open source in a world where we have found the global growth myth is false?

MoeNavigator development can continue after I finally found the source of the memory leaks in the browser engine. They were caused by an abstract class that didn't have a virtual destructor, causing undefined behavior. With that big problem out of the way, version 0.0.1 of the engine may soon be released, followed by version 0.1 of MoeNavigator. There are only a few tasks left before the release:

I'm a software developer in the AEC industry, typically working to automate engineering workflows in CAD software (revit etc.). I studied Mathematics, so naturally I love functional programming (and luckily get to use F# for most of my work!).
In my free time I enjoy walking, photography, custom keyboards, and any other hobbies my ADHD brain latches onto.
Hmm, an #intro. I'm a farmer at birdsongorchards.com. We grow 200 varieties of fruit and we have a you-pick rose field. Come on by if you find yourself in the Monterey Bay area!
I also #design #software, most recently for sage.com.
I'm a longtime member of the lines/monome #music community and I'm a huge fan of the Disquiet Junto weekly provocations (though the results of any inspiration I might find are often kept private).
Trying to get better at #painting. Trying to get better at #drawing. Trying to get better at making the computer do these things too, sometimes with the help of some machine learning.
I'm trying to get better at being comfortable with ambiguity. Many things are neither good, bad, nor neutral. Stuff can be complex and multifaceted, containing multitudes.
