A good curl reference guide:
Everything curl
everything.curl.dev/
"Everything curl is an extensive guide for all things curl. The project, the command-line tool, the library, how everything started and how it came to be the useful tool it is today. It explains how we work on developing it further, what it takes to use it, how you can contribute with code or bug reports and why millions of existing users use it.

Alright, sabbatical over. It's time to shred.

Happy to announce that I'll be joining the cncf.io as a developer advocate. I look forward to working on the things that our contributors need to move forward, see ya'll in Chicago!

The Linux Foundation is hosting a webinar covering more details on the new proposed patent rules and what they mean for open source today - June 7, 10:30 AM PT.
We'll be joining and you can too by registering here: linuxfoundation.org/webinars/s…

Alright, here's a response article to @martijnbraam's "Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak". I'll be addressing some of their claims by explaining why some of the design decisions make sense the way they are.

Edit: should there be a response article to mine, I'll respond it here (unless it doesn't address any of my points).

#Flatpak #Linux #FOSS #OpenSource


been using #LibreOffice since the early days and has been a loyal companion for all these years.
Even in my corporate environment that forcibly uses Win* and Office, I can just snuggle a portable installation and confortably use my templates in #opendocumentformat for everyday tasks at work.
I really like it because, it's free, predictable and it's against any task that you can imagine.
With #linux is just a match made in heaven.
Thanks all for the hard work ❤️


#Linux version deserved a dedicated logo like #4ppl3 stuff, anyway it's great and I like it 💪 👍

For better accessibility testing of the software I build, I've started testing more with screen readers.

On Android, enabling and using TalkBack is relatively straightforward, but for testing on my desktop, Orca is completely unusable.

I have a brand new Debian VM with GNOME, and Orca enabled, but actually using it in firefox just barely works. TalkBack has a nice workflow with highlighted elements that you move between as you read the page, but Orca seems delegated to using caret browsing and reading whatever your cursor is on? Am I missing shortcuts (which are also a pain, because the modifier can only be caps-lock or insert, not really conveniently placed)

Am I missing something, or is this the state of #Accessibility on #Linux?
Also the tts quality is very poor, which would make this even worse for any prolonged testing, but maybe there are alternative engines?


Somebody PLEASE make something like github.com/vadimdemedes/ink-ui but for GTK.

I would be a LOT more inclined to create native #linux #gtk apps if I could create them using #react or something similar.

Creating interfaces using GTK's native APIs feels like programming in the 90s.


Welcome back to the ThunderCast: Episode 2 is READY!

We welcome special #Mozilla guest @mconley, a software mechanic, musician, livestreamer, and self-described “pre-internet phenomenon” among many other awesome things.

Join us for a great conversation full of nostalgia, a behind-the-scenes look at some great Firefox features, and much more!

Greetings!

Well, after finding out that #WhaleBird
github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-…is a decent enough accessible MacOS client for use with #Misskey, you'll see me post on here from time to time now as well! Most of the time I'll still be posting on my Mastodon account, though watch this space! Three-Thousand characters is more than i ever would need myself, but I'll take it!

For users of #VoiceOver, the 'J' & 'k' keys currently do not speak under the curssor what the post is, thus nornal VO commands for now are necessary. Definitely a client for #Blind users to check out though!

NB. As noted among the GitHub page, WhaleBird is also available for #Windows and #Linux, though I'll leave those builds to you guys!

Big thanks to Sakamoto for stepping up to maintain the #Firewire subsystem for the #Linux kernel.
I still use an #RME #Fireface800 and it works super well with the #ALSA driver he wrote using #pipewire.

I hope even post 2029 someone will be up for maintaining it as the devices are solid and using them on Linux is a great countermeasure against their planned obsolescence.

Does anyone know any way to verify that the account at floss.social/@gnome is official?

I suggested to them they might verify their web link, but as far as I can tell the haven't? Also emailed GNOME via their official website to check if this is their account, but didn't receive a response.

Any ideas? Anyone know someone at GNOME who could verify?

I'm not suggesting it's fake by the way, it's just frustrating not to be able to verify! :)

A new #Flathub website launched at #LAS2023 last weekend! 🎉 The redesigned site brings a fresh look and a verification feature. Developers can now log in and verify ownership of their apps, earning a blue check mark. Check it out here: flathub.org/

We are very proud to be sponsoring #LAS2023 in #Brno this weekend!

Jason @killyourfm will be in attendance with a LOT of #Thunderbird stickers and T-shirts to give away to our #Linux family.

Look for him at the venue all weekend, and at tonight's welcome party -- he'll be wearing a black Thunderbird shirt with a white logo that looks like this:

We have 2 openings in my team to work on #OpenSource full time vr.se/om-vetenskapsradet/jobba… #sunet #python #Linux #debian #sweden

I can vouch for the team & the management, and your work will directly affect research & higher education sector across the globe. Oh, also the identity developer role also means you will work on projects touching every EU residence's life.


I have officially found a way to solve all the focus mode issues on Orca. If you're in an app such as semaphore and you're going to be for some time, this is worth doing. Press Orca f12 to make the application control the caret, then press orca Z to disable structural navigation. Now the app you're using has full control of everything and Orca just reads stuff. Although I find myself unable to change those shortcuts, as I'd personally like to be able to press orca R, then orca Z to snap into this state quickly. #Accessibility #Linux


Alex Castellani (@alecaddd) is leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!

But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

Found this on other account. Please boost for reach: Fedora Linux is focusing on accessibility for the next five years. I'd love to see people with disabilities, very much including blind people, comment on this. If you're interested in Linux, or free and open source software, your voices are valuable. I hope Fedora finds our voices valuable too.
