I have been using #LibreOffice on my #Linux machines for many years. Useful, stable and costumizeable! One of it's best thing is the export for PDF directly! 📝📑

As we are making good progress on #accessibility for GNOME Calendar lately (big thanks to @TheEvilSkeleton there) I have now rewritten and updated the description of this meta ticket to reflect the current status: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

15 of 28 checklist items completed as of May 22nd, 2025, based on what issues I've been able to find so far.

If someone were to invest development resources into the Open Source ecosystem right now, improvements to which area would benefit the user experience across all device form factors (desktop, laptop, mobile etc.) the most? You can name both individual applications, libraries and subsystems as well as broader topics like e.g. "messaging".

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: foundation.gnome.org/membershi…

Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!

The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

What do you get when you let (overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly male) able-bodied developers build an operating system?

Well, you get an insightful display of structural #ableism.

As a developer, I feel ashamed about this state of affairs, reading the excellent blog series by @fireborn . We can do better, and we deeply need to.

Bei #sarge bin ich eingestiegen, da war das noch Testing. Heute bei #bookworm angekommen. Bestes #linux für mich.


I can't tell y'all how much I love #Emacs. It was the first interface that really intrigued me. It was the first interface where I felt like there was so much I could learn about. And Emacspeak brought it to life for me. Headings spoken by a deeper voice. Italics spoken by a higher, rather fuzzy voice. Bold spoken by a deep voice, almost like headings. Because headings are bold, and large. A calendar where I could move around the actual calendar, not just a list of events. Want to know what date next Friday is? Find Friday of this week, and simply press Down arrow. Or C-n if you're really into Emacs. And there it is. Oh and Nov-mode (nov.el). I can't say enough about that package. An EPUB reader that doesn't choke on a huge book. And Markdown-mode and Org-mode, and even HTML-mode. With Emacspeak, I could hear the syntax highlighting. That way, I knew if I didn't close a bracket pair, or quotes, not only by the punctuation itself, but how the voice sounds.

And now Emacspeak hasn't been updated in a year. Luckily, I think T.V. Raman has made fixes up to Emacs 30. But beyond that, I don't know. I hope it's not abandoned forever. I maybe could use Emacs through Orca, or BRLTTY, or maybe Speechd-el, if I can figure out how it's supposed to be set up and used well. But it feels like such a pail imitation of Emacspeak. But then, unconfigured Emacs doesn't feel all that special either.

“Linux ‘just works’ – if you can see.

This isn’t a bug.
This is neglect.”

(And its ableist culture will sooner make you the villain for criticising it rather than acknowledging the failing and fixing the status quo. ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-be… There’s a reason I’m back on Mac after six years on Linux. As a developer, it was impacting my ability to make what I’m building accessible. And I reject the unspoken premise that the source being open is somehow more important than the human right to universal access. Ethical technology requires more than just the “four freedoms” web.archive.org/web/2025041809… This is why inclusivity is a core Small Technology principle. small-tech.org/about/#small-te…)

This right here is exactly WHY people get so mad when #linux #accessibility comes up. This is why even when people receiving the torch who want to do better get unjustly yelled at. We're dealing with systemic neglect for quite literally decades, and pretty much a big fat f*ck you every single time some new thing happens in this space. Are Windows and Mac worth switching from? Absolutely. In a heartbeat.
Is it worth switching to ... this? ... How masochistic are you feeling? Not just today, but for the rest of your digital life?


To all #OpenSource and #Linux warriors, to all saying "Ditch windows, install Linux", to everyone and every single person: please, spend several minutes and read this. I want you all to read this so you really understand the problem (if you want to understand, of course). And a huge, huge thanks to Aaron @fireborn for starting this post series. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-w… #Accessibility


The #Linux #kernel's #PGP Web of Trust

blog.kleine-koenig.org/ukl/the… (by @ukleinek )

"[…] However there is a problem on the horizon: GnuPG 2.4.x started to reject third-party key signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm. […] This doesn't directly affect the kernel-pgpkeys repo, […] When Konstantin imported the updated certificate GnuPG's "cleaning" was applied which dropped all SHA-1 signatures. So Theodore Ts'o's key lost 168 signatures, among them one by Linus Torvalds on his primary UID. […] That made me wonder what would be the effect on the web of trust if all SHA-1 signatures were dropped. Here are the facts: […]"

So I was browsing the Internet today, and so I found some weird script someone made for Linux which takes a screenshot and describes it with Gemini. As usual, read the script before running it and all that, I obviously wasn't the one who created it because I don't code, so I cannot answer any questions about it or make new features or anything like that. But yeah I mean it's also AI, so don't use it, and Linux will obviously be filled with slop because of this awful person who added A11yAI to Linux, but yeah here it is:
