Running #Debian #MATE now for a couple of weeks. Not fully switched to it yet but so far really likeing it as a #blind user. Yesterday I opened #LibreOffice Writer and was wondering about a few unlabled buttons in the printer dialogue.
Please dear devs: Every button needs a propper label. That is not just good for accessibility but should be considdered good work in general. And thanks for everyone who thinks and tries to make their work and the work of others accessible.
This #Debian wiki page was what I found that helped me get fingerprint authentication set up on my laptop.
So I contributed something back. I added the "Caveats" section at the bottom. Hopefully this helps somebody else, 🙂

¡Hola a todos en Mastodon! Soy wil.deb, y como mi nombre indica, soy un apasionado de Debian. Originario de Norte de Santander, Colombia, me encanta explorar el mundo del código abierto y la ciencia de datos. Las matemáticas son mi otra pasión, y aunque aspiro a ser un matemático, a veces sueño con ser un ermitaño budista, practicando zazen en las montañas. ¡Es un placer conocer a todos! 🌿🐧 #Debian #CienciaDeDatos #Matemáticas #Budismo

iTWire - New Debian leader brings an unusual trait to the job: humility
In some ways, Andreas Tille is an unusual person to take over as leader of the Debian GNU/Linux project. Unusual because of his age, unusual because of the fact that he acknowledged the negatives about the position.Sam Varghese (iTWire)
After a great week for Linux, with the releases of Fedora 40 and today Ubuntu 24.04, I would be interested to know which operating system the Fediverse in my "bubble" uses? Linux? Windows? Or macOS or even a BSD? More than one?
Please write in the comments which distribution or version! Thanks for participating and SHARING!

Its also kinda enlightening on how distros react to the #xz backdoor:
* #arch "lets rerelease the version from the untrusted party, we run autogen.sh ourselves now"
* #debian "lets roll back to the last version not having any changes by the untrusted party and rebuild our infra from scratch"
I know which of these I trust more as an upstream ...

Yeah switching to a #linux based system is a huge improvement if talking about #privacy. Today most of the software is easily accessible on Linux and works great. Even if there's no dedicated #linux version there are still something like Wine or awesome free and open source alternatives. I can recommend #debian and #popos.
For messaging apps I love #signalmessenger and I can also recommend Session.
For browser as well as a search engine I'd pick Brave.
Librewolf is also great
