@wizzwizz4 @devinprater @csepp @praveen @danielst @lorabe @storm I recall a thread where someone recounted some history behind all this, that there were several projects funded by the (American Council for the Blind?) to improve accessibility, but each time Microsoft (a big ACB funder) threatened to pull funding unless they dropped the projects.

And the reason appears to be: governments require accessibility in their software, so MS et al didn't want any threats to their monopoly over government contracts.

So to accuse OSS community of simply not caring enough to bother isn't really accurate - there is deliberate monopolism at play here. MS and Apple might appear to "care more" but only when it gets them access to tenders, and excludes the communal software from the competition.

BookWyrm is the Federated GoodReads Replacement I Didn’t Know I Needed

If you aren’t familiar with the concept, #GoodReads is an Amazon-owned social platform that integrates directly with their Kindle offering. #BookWyrm is an #opensource, #federated
alternative designed by Mouse Reeve, and is supported by Patreon donations.

Die Instanz hier fragt uns, was es Neues gibt. Machen wir es kurz: uns! Wir sind #neuhier und nutzen die Chance einer #vorstellung
Wir sind der Volksverpetzer, ein Kollektiv von round about 20 Leuten und haben keine Lust auf Fake News, Klimawandel, Hass und Hetzkampagnen.

Viele haben das mulmige Gefühl, dass sie etwas Falsches tun, wenn sie Facebook, Twitter oder YouTube benutzen.
Stimmt! Es gibt gute Gründe, die Social-Media-Großmächte zu meiden. Aber es gibt gute Alternativen im #Fediverse.

I created a table comparing the specs of 12 phones that can be bought with Linux preinstalled:
https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/08/25/comparing-linux-phones/

It is striking the difference between the amount of information that is publicly available for the PinePhone and Librem 5 compared to all the rest of the Linux phones that use Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Helio processors, which require NDA's to view their datasheets and don't allow the publication of schematics, because they are based on copyrighted reference designs.

It's a logic gate. 😆

Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.2 is out!

It comes with a brand new flat and stylesheet whose accent color is settable by the app devs! 🌈

See our alpha.1→alpha.2 guide: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-between-development-versions.html

Or start porting from GTK 3 and libhandy: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-libhandy-1-4-to-libadwaita.html

We are upstreaming our software development for the wider community. Calls will become a part of the @gnome project. Having a dialer application available shows that mobile is an important use case for GNOME. Read more: https://puri.sm/posts/how-calls-became-a-part-of-gnome/

Buidl Crypto just published an long-form interview with me where I touch on just about every aspect of @purism. It's a great conversation, check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/290Apvlx688VWT4vPqBl6n
