How friendship between NVDA founders Mick Curran and Jamie Teh is changing lives for thousands of blind people

Mick and Jamie have been mates for almost three decades and have worked on a project with one goal in mind — to ensure everyone can use a computer.

I'm still on Gajim 1.3.3 and simply can't upgrade because of the lack of the history manager (separate window to view chatlogs). I'm hoping that it will come back someday and that the old version I'm using will work a bit longer.

Uno de los movimientos más inteligentes que he hecho es poner mi computadora de escritorio en #xalapa en una red local virtual con mi laptop.

Ahorita donde estoy no tengo suficiente internet para subir una imagen de contenedor al registro, pero puedo conectarme a la de escritorio y construir y subir el contenedor desde ahí.

El software que uso para eso se llama #nebula nebula.defined.net/docs/

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?

KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!

> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.

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?

Convergence means having the same OS across multiple hardware platforms with apps that adapt to their hardware. Experience a #phone, #laptop, #tablet, #desktop, all running #software that respects your privacy and freedom. Take a look!

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:

#introduction #introductions

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.

Flowers, heirloom and rare fruits: apples, pears, peaches, plums, figs, persimmons, citrus, cherries, walnuts, sapote, feijoa.
