The @solarcast podcast interview about @modal featuring yours truly is out!

Thanks @zelf for the invite and for editing our sprawling conversation into something coherent 💚

FWIW and for sharing the joy: I have just successfully defended my #dissertation titled ”Societal IT systems development. Towards a discursive process-oriented multi-perspective approach to co-designing, -operating, -assessing, and -regulating societally relevant IT systems”. 🥰

After some revisions, corrections, editing etc. it will of course be freely available. #CCBY #OA #computerscience @tuberlin

I just managed to make another watchface, this time (pun intended) it's always 11 AM, but the timezone changes every hour to where it's 11 AM in the world.

Noch ein Tool für die Behörden‑IT? 😵‍💫

Nein.

Der BundesMessenger ist viel mehr als das und steht für eine neue Art der digitalen Kommunikation in und zwischen Behörden – modern und so intuitiv wie privat gewohnt.

Das Wichtigste:
Alle deine Daten sind sicher und in deiner Hand, ob Sprachnachricht, (Gruppen-) Chatinhalte oder Bilder – keine Nutzung für Werbung, KI, oder Ähnliches – du bist in deiner Behörde digital souverän und ganz weit vorne.

„Zu verlieren ist nie schön aber selten sind die Auswirkungen so dramatisch. Selten schmerzt es mich auch persönlich so sehr. Gestern hat meine Behörde vor dem BVerwG in Leipzig den Rechtsstreit gegen den BND um die Frage verloren, ob wir Dokumente einsehen dürfen, um unsere gesetzlich vorgesehene Kontrolltätigkeit auszuüben.“

Rather than empowering users to access the services they need in a secure and safe way, the #eIDWallet risks becoming a tool of surveillance and control.

EDRi, @epicenter_works and other digital rights and consumer protection organisations across Europe wrote to the @EUCommission Commission to urge them to amend their plan and ensure that the rights of users are properly safeguarded.

It’s bonkers how efficient the @postmarketOS gang is with money.

40K is ridiculously low for everything they’re achieving. And they’re very transparent about how they use it.

If you can afford to donate, pmOS is an excellent investment for our collective future.

Our fantastic team of volunteers is at @fossasia!

Everyone, rejoice 🙌

Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564 — introducing keyboard-navigable month cells.

This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be 100% navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only thing that needs to be done now is interfacing with assistive technologies such as screen readers properly.

Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:

- When tabbing between events, focus moves chronologically, meaning focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying that specific cell, which then moves focus to the topmost event widget found in the next cells or rows; tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab goes in the opposite direction.
- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, Ctrl+Tab on any event widget does the same thing.
- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating event. Additionally, pressing and holding Shift while pressing arrow keys selects every cell between the start and end positions, until the Shift key is released, which displays the popover with the selected range.

Both merge requests !564 and !598 have taken almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on an approach that works the best for our use case. All of this was done voluntarily, without any financial backing from any entity apart from donors and people sharing these posts to others — something that keyboard navigation in the vast majority, if not all, of views in (proprietary) calendaring apps developed by trillion-dollar companies have not even managed to reach feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME, thank you ♥️

Pretty major improvement to website security! For those that can't use this immediately FF 148 also includes Trusted Types which can go a long way in helping prevent XSS.
