Did you know that #Abbott caused the deaths of seven diabetics this year?
Some of Abbott's continuous glucose monitors (ironically named the #FreeStyle #Libre 3 Plus) incorrectly reported low blood sugar — a grave & dangerous error for insulin-dependent #diabetes. I fortunately wasn't injured, but Abbott's refusal to allow public examination the technical details of their devices is tantamount to a cover-up.

I wrote last month about my diabetes diagnosis this year and my difficult choice to wear a proprietary device (called a CGM) on my arm 24/7 to continuously monitor my glucose levels. Like my friend and colleague, Karen M.Software Freedom Conservancy

~18% were new features or enhancements that you requested
The last 10% were things like project management tasks, tech debt, and code cleanup
Everything you love, made even better. OS 8.1 improves the Secure Session and Dock, enhances accessibility, improves support for your devices, and addresses your feedback with over 1,100 issue reports fixed

By the way, what also helped a bit with the switch is, that all podcasts started to monetize, thus on spotify there is always only a short preview version of the podcast. Full one is usally available as a user specific rss link. This pushed me to find separate podcast solution and I am much happier with the solution I found:
#NextCloud + Gpodder sync plugin as synchronization server NextCloud + Podcasts plugin for web browser listening on desktop
#AntennaPod for on the go listening on Android
It's #selfHosted, it's #openSource and that's what I like.
As an Open Source developer in Germany, I'd greatly benefit if our work was officially recognized as voluntary service (Ehrenamt).

Top 5 #accessibility improvements in #GNOME Calendar 49:
1. Focus indicators were added in various places
2. Events are focusable with a keyboard
3. Year/month spin buttons are navigable with arrow keys
4. Calendar grids are skippable with Tab, and cells are wrapped via keyboard focus
5. Calendar list box now behaves like a check box
For screen readers: events and year/month spin buttons have proper semantics!
It's the last Development Digest for 2025! We're celebrating our Exchange success (but not resting on our labors), sharing our Calendar UI milestones, and grateful for a community contribution to fix a 19-year-old bug!

After my talk at @gnome Asia Summit, I’ve published the source code of Jollpi, a Python-based text editor I’m rewriting with a modern stack.
Built with Python 3, @GTK 4 and GtkSourceView 5, using a modern async architecture and standard Python packaging (pyproject.toml, pip).
It installs cleanly and integrates like a regular Linux desktop app.
Feel free to try it and share feedback.

Vojtux - Accessible Linux distro which is almost pure Fedora
Vojtěch Polášek has put together a technical preview of a version of Fedora that should work well for blind or visually impaired users. While his goal is explicitly to see these improvements and changes become part of Fedora itself, for now you can use this implementation based on the Fedora MATE spin. :)
