Stenberg: I survived curl up 2024
Daniel Stenberg has posted a report about the recent curl up conference about curl development. It was held over two days in Stockholm. The report has short summaries of the talks with links to the recordings.lwn.net
Ahh, then I'll forward my feedback.

Hi, I have sensory issues and having a dark mode with user interface controls tinted dark red makes much much more comfortable for me to use my computer.
Currently, I have had to maintain my own GTK theme to make this possible, hours of very painful work over the years just to have a tolerable user experience for me.
I think having the ability to change the UI colours is an essential accessibility feature.

One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.
(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/288 ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.
The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.
So, my money went to a fork.
Symbolic icons only have the `-symbolic` suffix, breaking compatibility with FDO-compatible apps (#288) · Issues · GNOME / adwaita-icon-theme · GitLab

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, 🙂

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!

Just checked and yes, the screen reader is still broken in Fedora 40. (Cannot be controlled; keyboard shortcuts/modifier key doesn’t work.)
So this is yet another release where the screen reader is broken by default.
It’s amazing to me that this is not a showstopper.

If we get this sorted, we will have a fully accessible notification daemon for all wlroots based compositors, which will soon include XFCE. This could be the Wayland equivalent of notification-daemon for X11, but even better if the GTK notification centre list can be fixed up too. #Linux #accessibility #a11y

WTF? Is #Tenacity on the #Flatpak store #MALWARE? Apparently it was running in the bg AS IF it was an invincible #Gnome extension so SystemMonitor/htop would NOT see it as a process. But #MissionCenter (also from flatpak store) saw it as it is: an app running on startup! Killing it killed Gnome session! It was also spiking wifi, and was leaking the Gnome gjs service from 4MB RAM to 120MB. Uninstalling fixed the prob
Third party flatpak/snaps should be vetted.

Might as well ask! This is for both tech and non-tech peeps
* If you are on windows, what keeps you on windows? If you wanted to switch, why and what information do you want to help resolve this?
* What is computer literacy to you? Like, you can split this off into different levels as well like basic, intermediate, expert of use a primary-school, high-school framing.
I guess if I was to give a clear constraint here, I'm interested to know what you think adults or someone who is mid-way through high-school should be capable of doing.
Bonus one as well:
* What do you think is currently wrong with computer education programs, these vary wildly but I am curious about this as well!
