This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.

Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

Even though people thought bird.makeup would die this weekend with the login wall, it's actually more popular than ever!

The process I use to get information from Twitter still works but has a 40% percent error rate it seems. It's also much higher for accounts followed for the first time. It's very likely that's it's coming from their internal service being flaky and not actual ban enforcement. I'll see over the week if this improves otherwise I'll start figuring workarounds for those cases.

Matthias Clasen has written a post on the GTK blog about recent changes in the accessibility implementation of the toolkit, as well as improvements in the tooling planned for the 4.12 release: https://blog.gtk.org/2023/06/21/evolving-accessibility/

Instagram blocked the #joinPixelfed hashtag not long ago, and Twitter too.

Don't forget that 😉

At long long last, RADV finally has ray tracing pipelines enabled by default!!! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

The MR just got merged into Mesa main. I also wrote a small blog post about it: https://pixelcluster.github.io/RADV-Raytracing-ON/

We recently hired @tyrylu to work on #Linux desktop #accessibility (mostly #GNOME stack) and coordinate our renewed efforts in this area.

He just joined #Fediverse. If you care about Linux desktop #a11y, make sure you follow him.

Everything happening with Reddit will happen with GitHub.

It has been some time since we last published a global product report for the Librem 5 phone. This is not because of slowing down our development effort, it is the opposite. We have been very busy and we have made substantial progress during the last few months.

A few years ago, JSF (@jakartaee Faces) seemed like a legacy framework. And now I see 2 trustworthy people praising it in the same week. World is turning around :) Or are people fed up with hyped frameworks? https://twitter.com/simas_ch/status/1661007259407900678

Want to use gRPC in WildFly? Have a look at the latest blog post at https://www.wildfly.org/news/2023/05/22/grpc-subsystem/. Ron Sigal explains how to set it up and what you can expect from the new gRPC feature pack.

I found this on the Internet. It's TRUE, ALL OF IT!

On Monday, I wrote an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American. I tracked proportional engagement, calculated as (likes + shares + comments)/followers, over six social media platforms.

The winner? MASTODON, by a landslide.

Second place? INSTAGRAM. It's harder to share posts on IG, but lot of people like things there!

The loser? FACEBOOK, also by a landslide. On Facebook, I've been shadow-banned since August 2018 when they listed clean energy and climate as "socially sensitive topics" so my page there stopped growing 6 years ago and now only about 1% of my followers there ever see my posts. It's actually too bad, because that's the platform where I reach the most conservative audiences through their connections to friends and family. So even though it's dead last, I still persist.
