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.

Mastodon – Simplified Federation by @rugk makes remote follows less cumbersome by automatically entering your Mastodon account details and puts that functionality where it should be: in your browser.

You can get it for Firefox from:

A friendly reminder that you should make sure CPU virtualisation is turned on in your BIOS before creating a virtual machine (in this case, using GNOME Boxes)

The Bluetooth Quick Connect extension (extensions.gnome.org/extension…) should be built-in functionality in GNOME.

It’s a hugely cumbersome process, otherwise, to connect to headphones that you’ve already paired (especially if you also use them with your phone, etc.)

Sadly, the IBus ctrl + . shortcut for inserting emoji also conflicts with GNOME’s ctrl + . shortcut for *drumroll* inserting emoji. So, when GNOME is being used, the distribution should really disable or change the IBus shortcut as GNOME’s graphical emoji picker overlay is far superior to the IBus’s.

Also, I think I’m going to end up changing 1Password’s shortcut as I want to be able to use the GNOME emoji picker popover on web forms too.
