Yesterday I boosted someone else's announcement of my post on the new GNOME accessibility blog, but apparently some folks couldn't find the link in that toot, so here it is again: https://blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2023/10/27/a-new-accessibility-architecture-for-modern-free-desktops/

Also wanted to add: I'm glad to be getting back to work on accessibility on desktop Linux, after ~20 years away. Hopefully with the experience I've gained in the meantime, my efforts now will be more effective.

Hey any journalists on here plz turn your public post indexing on, because most of you haven't and thats why people looking for public information cant find you.

Go to settings > public profile > privacy and reach, select "include public posts in search results"

Not all the fedi wants to be a public space, and thats fine, but some parts should be right now.

Here are some photos of the Librem 11 that just arrived today. I ordered on day 1, hopefully this helps people understand the scale of the device -- see #steamdeck comparison.

My initial impressions are extremely impressed but I am pretty easy going considering I really like the pioneering in the #linux space by Purism. I'll write upore on my other account soon.

I am not sure if this one has been spotted (They are visually similar and I should have changed the color), it is Part 2 of the first one. ✌️🙂

Our Xfinity bill shot up because of an expiring 12-month discount, just as it did a year ago. So I called.

me: I noticed our bill went up and I was wondering if we could repeat whatever pro-forma ritual we need to in order to secure a more reasonable charge again.

them: *laughing* thank you for understanding the situation, sir.

I always try to bear in mind that the customer service people I speak with are *way* more victimized by the shitty behavior of their employers than I will ever be.
