As I'm making my own debloat script for Windows, removing a few registry things and such, I went looking in my bookmarks and found this. It still holds up

First, a quote. The fact that this has to be turned on by anyone shows just how ableist much of open source culture is. No other operating system needs this. When you turn on VoiceOver on a Mac, you can access every accessible program. When you turn on Narrator or NvDA on Windows, you can access every accessible program. When you turn on ChromeVox on a ChromeBook, you can access every accessible program. It’s only on Linux, where you have to check a box to enable accessibility.

A bunch of comments requested an explanation on #Linux graphics drivers, so I decided to take a look at the topic, and explain Mesa, kernel drivers, the Nvidia drivers (Nouveau, NVK, the official #opensource modules, and the proprietary driver), as well as AMD drivers (with RadeonSI, RADV, AMDVLK and AMDGPU, plus AMDGPU-Pro), and Intel drivers (with i915, i965, ANV and the new Xe driver).

I hope it helps make things a bit clearer!

In 2024, please switch to Firefox roytanck.com/2023/12/23/in-202… #privacy #security #opensource #unix #linux #macos

This December, if there’s one tech New Year’s resolution I’d encourage you to have, it’s switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox. According to recent posts on social media, Firefox’s market share is slipping. We should not let that happen. There are two main reasons why switching is important.
A red panda (firefox) resting on a tree branch.“Red Panda” by Mathias Appel is marked with CC0 1.0.

1. Privacy


Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data. There’s been a lot of talk about websites tracking users using cookies, fingerprinting and other nefarious technologies that hurt your privacy. But owning the browser puts Google, Apple and Microsoft in a position where they don’t even need those tricks. We need to use browsers that are independent, and right now that means Firefox.

2. Browser engine monopoly


Wikipedia lists four browser engines as being “active”. Browser engines are the bits that take a web page’s code and display it on your screen. Ideally, they conform to the official W3C standards, and display all elements as it describes. If that’s the case, web developers can easily write sites that work on all browsers. No proprietary vendor lock-in nonsense, just glorious open standards at work.

It’s happened before


In the early 2000’s, Internet Explorer had a massive 95% market share. This meant that many sites were only developed for use with IE. They’d use experimental features that IE supported, in favor of things from the official HTML standard. This was a very bad situation, which hindered the development of the World Wide Web.

Currenty, Chrome, Safari and Edge all use variations of the closely related Webkit and Blink engines. If we want to avoid another browser engine monopoly, we need to support Firefox, and its “Gecko” engine.

Firefox is actually really good


If Firefox would be a bad browser, I would not recommend you to switch. It’s fast, has a nice user interface, and feels every bit as modern and elegant as its competition. I’ve been using it as my main browser for a couple of years now, on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. As a web developer, I usually have at least three browsers open, but when I go look something up on the web, I pick Firefox.

So please, help save the web by using the best browser out there. It’s an easy thing to do, and it makes a big difference.

The maintainer of the Orca screen reader, Joanie Diggs, has made noteworthy enhancements in recent weeks. I mention them here for the benefit of those who are not following these developments or who are not regular Linux screen reader users.
Many of the improvements are performance-related, taking advantage of the cache of accessibility tree nodes maintained by the AT-SPI service. Table processing has received particular attention, and fundamental changes are underway in the code that handles users' keystrokes, some of which need to be interpreted as screen reader commands, with the remainder being passed through to the application.
I have been testing some of the changes along the way, as have other users active on the Orca mailing list. Rapid and precise bug reports continue to contribute to the development process. At this point, it is reasonable to expect these valuable improvements to appear in a release during the first half of 2024, presumably as part of GNOME 46.

UNIX co-creator Ken Thompson is… a what user? • The Register theregister.com/2023/03/17/ken…

«I have for most of my life – because I was sort of born into it – run Apple. Now recently, meaning within the last five years, I've become more and more and more depressed [...] And I've come, within the last month or two, to say: even though I've invested a zillion years in Apple, I'm throwing it away, and I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian, in particular».

same reason for #Linux I guess and same reason why I do all the #OS1337 code in #bash with only .config makefiles where needed:

Readable and thus easy to #audit code allows for #transparency, which is vital for #maintainability and #security...

After all, mistakes do happen and I'd rather have it easy find and fix than optimize every bit at the cost of unmaintainable code.

We're now working on filling the remaining gaps so this can become an actual reality on the #gnome (and generally #linux / #fdo / #gnu) desktop. And what can I say - things actually work out quite nicely! While on modern Intel or AMD systems the effect is mostly about lower resource consumption, on some low-end hardware there are visible differences on what you can play fluently.

People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?

There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: projects.blender.org/blender/b…

They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

Flatpak package for Linux releases

Blender on Linux is already available as a Snap package. Flatpak seems to be the more popular format at least on non-Ubuntu based distributions, so it would sense to officially support it as well.

I got myself a little N900 a couple of weeks ago. The USB port was busted (completely off lol), but I got some new batteries and an external charger. And now it lives! It's running maemo 5 from 2011 so a lot of stuff just doesn't work. Which is fine. I'm going to replace the usb port and then try maemo leste on it. The fact that a modern OS is available for such an ancient device is so great!

Are there any #Linux distributions with #Speakup in them that work on the new #mac machines in #vmare or #utm? I tried #debian 12 and under this distro Speakup froze up at random intervals and locked up the vm. I am starting to think that two different physical machines may be the best for me. #arm64 with #accessibility features doesn't seem to be stable enough yet for prime time.
