OK, Update-of-Relief: It's working! 🥳 Thanks to the AMAZING!! support by @shiftphones "main developer" (who got me a fixed OTA within a day of being in-the-know of the issue – well, within a few hours of the culprit being found 😲), and the AMAZING support by project contributors to identify the cause, all is working fine now.

Other ShiftOS-L users will receive the OTA shortly & automatically.

Oof. Looks like the Nominatim Backend of UnifiedNlp (f-droid.org/packages/org.micro…) is no longer working (their issue-tracker mentions that in multiple places but no fix, no release since 2017). Does anyone know about an alternative? Or at least some #foss #app for #Android updating those details in the photos' Exif/IPTC/XMP data where missing?

The Simula One (a standalone VR/AR Linux computer/headset) does sound exciting but I’m not entirely sure how they’re going to keep the weight down to a level that’s ergonomically sound for prolonged use.

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.

Just submitted my grant application for our Domain project to NLnet for their User-Operated Internet Fund.

I believe the process for public funding should itself be public so you can read the entire submission on my blog (with better formatting than the text-only original submission, a video, and pictures) and I’ll be posting future communication there also:

And those little touches… notice how the curve that the selected Bézier control point is affecting is highlighted in purple. And you can simply pull along there to shape the curve instead of manipulating the control point handles.

Just beautiful.

Codeberg Accessibility

In #389 it was reported that text editors were not accessible yet. Given that such a central piece of the software it not accessible by screen readers (and spell checkers for the matter) yet, it's very likely that there are other UI roadblocks, too.
