Browsing Github last night, I came across two interesting, potentially accessible open source projects related to radio.
1. Salamandra Radio - an automation software for station in its early development. Screen reader specific fixes have been mentioned in the release notes and so were hotkeys, although these do not seem to be documented anywhere; the app starts in Portuguese by default but a change to English is possible in the settings; also buttons in the toolbar do not seem to be labelled but upon focusing them, a tooltip is read out so we can go by those to tell what the buttons are doing.
github.com/ocarolino/salamandr…
2. Axios - a simple radio player supporting the Radio Browser API. It is accessible in a similar way as Salamandra, allows for searching the directory, playing whatever is found, and controlling the volume.
github.com/z1lvis/Axios
Feel free to explore, hack, spread the word or do whatever else you usually do in such cases.

Go Thunderbird! It's great to see an #OpenSource Project with such a long history thrive.

I can't wait to finally have Sync on all my devices.


While K-9 Mail is developed in the open, following its development on GitHub can be somewhat tedious for a casual observer. So we’re trying something new and summarizing the most notable things that happened in the past month as we head down the exciting road to Thunderbird for Android!

@IzzyOnDroid #opensource at its best:

I recently installed vector pinball from @fdroidorg - great to kill some time, and especially fun because of the sound effects and background music. Out of curiosity I followed the link to the README in it's github repo. In it, the author thanks the guy who added the sound effects and music, who wanted to try out a sound library for android and therefore sought out a silent open source game and created sounds and music for it. He wrote an article about it here: twittering.com/webarchive_arti…

So thanks to this exemplary #FOSS collaboration I'm having a good time, whenever I have a five minute break.


Here's an early look at some fun content we're launching next week!

We're calling it "Meet The Team." It's a series of conversations with each member of the #Thunderbird team, about stuff like:

☑️ When they fell in love with tech or software programming.

☑️ What attracted them to #OpenSource.

☑️ What their day-to-day looks like hacking on Thunderbird

☑️ And whatever else we decide to ask them and they're willing to answer!

We'll start with @alecaddd's origin story... Stay tuned for more!



Recently I've found a lightweight modern #opensource #audio #recorder app for #Android called #RecordYou. I like it that much so I've attempted to submit some #screenReader #accessibility improvements.
Let me know how do you like it once it's accepted.

This is my first experience with #Jetpack #Compose so bear with me and try to suggest improvements if you can please.


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/

New phone who dis? It's real!
The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big sibling (slightly more specced up) - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got slammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See puri.sm/ #foss #opensource #linux



If anyone can help, the maintenance burden of this project is starting to weigh on me. I don't want to give it up, but without more help I may have no other option.

Here's one of the lesser known ancient Chinese sayings. Still worth living by:

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

And this week's #Linux and #opensource news video is finally here!

In this one, we have confirmation that #Windows 11 sends data to third parties after a fresh install, without user consent, we have @fedora moving to Flathub in their next release, an AI tool that violates #FOSS licenses, @thunderbird sharing a roadmap and some interesting history, and @gnome Software getting some nice performance improvements:

I am so glad patents were a later invention of Humanity.

Had the person who 'invented' fire patented it with our current intellectual property laws and convoluted ways of preserving the rights forever, we would have never left the stone age.

#OpenSource has always been the way of advancing our quality of life.

Our ability to collaborate is our superpower.

#Monocle is #OpenSource eyewear:

"a pocket sized #AR device for the imaginative hacker."

"...tiny heads-up display which clips onto your existing eyewear. It’s packed full of powerful hardware which is perfect for when you’re on the go. It connects to your mobile phone over Bluetooth, and includes a few handy sensors such as touch buttons, camera and microphone. The included FPGA is perfect for #computerVision, #AI or graphics acceleration directly on the device."

I just had whatever the opposite of 'future shock' is - I stumbled upon a telescope proposal from 2001 and I wondered if the #latex would compile - of course it did, and the proposal looked exactly as it should have.

In related news, I wrote my thesis in Word 98 and the next version refused to open one of my chapters for no obvious reason.

Plain text and openly documented image formats are definitely the way to future proof your work.... #astrodon #opensource #openscience #TeXLaTeX


What a conference! Thanks so much to @openuk for inviting me to speak yesterday. Lots of fun on the Sonatype stand today!

Also managed to speak to EM360Tech yesterday on #OpenSource (please ignore the spot on my forehead) 😂

#SOOCon23 #StateOfOpenCon


Curious what #OpenSource & #FreeSoftware advocates propose for building a culture of accessibility in their teams.

Hundreds of companies showed up for #FOSDEM & are at #StateOfOpenCon right now.

As a movement, how do we:
- orient new people to our teams?
- ensure compliance are set up and maintained?
- keep up with best practices for sharing our code/ideas?

#SOOCon23



If you're looking for #privacy, the absolute best option is probably setting up your own #homeserver, but if you don't have the technical know how, the time, or the inclination, the next best thing is a #NAS!

These little things let you store files, photos, host websites, run containers, backup your computers, run office suites, all with simple GUIs, and can be cheaper than cloud storage.

Let's take a look at why you probably need a NAS at home:

Soeben habe ich 20.- CHF sinnvoll ausgegeben; #thunderbird von #mozilla ist auf unsere #Spende angewiesen. Vielleicht kannst ja auch Du mithelfen, dass dieses sinnvolle Projekt in Zukunft weiter existiert:

give.thunderbird.net

#Hilfe #opensource #email

Just now I spent 20.- CHF wisely; thunderbird by mozilla depends on our #donation. Maybe you can #help to keep this useful project going in the future?

"#OpenSource is critical public infrastructure"

Effective curation is essential & an existential issue if we don't get it right.
