@Nolan Darilek I think using tab and shift+tab to navigate in the message content will allow you to focus the profile picture of that person and activate with the enter key. After this, switch your screen reader into browse mode, find heading level 2 saying profile and find the matrix handle a few lines below after the display name and the status. Also if you are back on linux, except of @Element there is another more light weight very accessible #GTK4 based matrix client called #fractal.
Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.
Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.
This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.
#Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
#AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
@element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
#Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
@signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
@Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
#Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
#Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
@openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
@organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
@protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
@libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
#LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
@photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
#Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
@readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
@nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
#Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
@forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
@musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!
Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.
#Fractal 10 had a couple regressions. We didn’t want our users to wait until Fractal 11 to get the fixes in their favorite #GNOME #Matrix client, so here is Fractal 10.1:
Due to a couple of unfortunate but important regressions in Fractal 10, we are releasing Fractal 10.1 so our users don’t have to wait too long for them to be addressed.
Because we know you can’t get enough of us, we are back again, and this time, as foretold, it’s to announce Fractal 8! There have been little changes since our release candidate, so let’s recap the main improvements since Fractal 7: Mentions are s…
It’s been all over the news, so you probably already have heard about what’s happening in France, but in case you haven’t yet: a new Fractal beta just dropped! What have we been up to? Mentions are sent intentionally Authenticated media are suppor…
@Matt Campbell Regarding windows that sounds fantastic. I imagine I might be able to recommend windows folks to run #fractal matrix client soon enough. For building GTK with accesskit on windows do you use msis2 or gvsbuild?
Here comes #Fractal 7, with extended #encryption support and improved accessibility. Server-side key backup and account recovery have been added, bringing greater security. Third-party verification has received some bug fixes and improvements. Amongst the many accessibility improvements, navigability has increased, especially in the room history. But that’s not all we’ve been up to in the past three months. Read the full release notes at flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Fra…

You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversation
My drawings of a few types of infinite series from 2019… The top left includes the Devil’s Staircase function, a continuous function that is constant almost everywhere. The top right is inspired by #Escher; the bottom left includes a Sierpinski triangle, and the fourth is inspired by Diego Uribe’s book “Fractal Cuts.” Each #doodle is about 3.5” by 5.5” with ink and colored pencil on paper. The dots sparkle in mica paint. #fractal #math #MathArt #ColoredPencil #doodle #microbes #ScienceArt #art
