@zersiax we'll in this case some of the devs working on it are dogfeeding, as they are in visually impaired for e.g.
But as with all a11y projects commercial or non, it's always hard to cover every a11y need and have testers with that specific need available/in the team.
@zersiax yeah, it surely can, but unsure you get it for free on most platforms. I would guess that we could find unaccessible projects on most platforms. For EG accessability is opt in with flutter web.
However I'm at least excited for what is coming with Newton (I think that was the name?) and due to the European accessability act, that's due 2025, that will certainly push things in general.
A question for #Linux#Wayland users. I am running Debian stable with Plasma and my computer was freezing randomly, and very often. Let's say once per day. I was about to start replacing hardware components to find the guilty party, but then I switched from Wayland to X11 and it has been a couple of weeks with not a single freeze. Is it possible that Wayland is this unstable or am I doing something wrong? My GPU is Radeon 6000 if this matters.
»Since we're talking about icon theming, I recently stumbled upon this gitlab issue. Apparently they now want to remove icon theming support in #GTK 5. The way the GTK devs started the description really infuriated me: "i. themes are no longer a thing". Really? Who said that? Since when "i. themes are no longer a thing" became a consensus in the Linux desktop space? It seems like you just made up this claim and posted it as undeniable truth for you own comfort.«
Who remembers when October rolled around, then tons of troll PRs would show up because of free shirts offered by Hacktoberfest, did anyone notice how that didn't happen last year.
Last year instead they planted trees for the first 50,000 PRs accepted which is much less enticing
You may have noticed something different when you share links to apps on Flathub 👀
Every app now gets a dynamically generated “meta image” for sharing on social media, in messaging apps, etc. Give it a try the next time you share a link to your favorite app!
And as an appropriate demo, check out this app that lets you preview how a link will show up on social media before you actually share it:
Before I was but an ambivalent #linux desktop user of #flatpak, but now I am converted.
I have two operating systems because of all this Gtk4 compile business which is making my life more complicated than it needs to be.
But to be able to share the .var directory between the two year old PopOS and the alpha for #Ubuntu 24.04 and have the installed flatpaks Just-Work with all my saved data. It's the kind of not-have-to-think-about-it that's really convincing.
I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.
So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)
It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!
Suppose someone set out to implement a radically simplified software stack for developing server-side web applications, simple enough that it would actually be practical to audit the whole thing, so something like the xz backdoor would have nowhere to hide. (No, I can't spend time on this anytime soon.) Putting aside for the moment the question of which programming language(s) to implement, would it be better to implement the text-based HTTP/1.1 protocol or the binary HTTP/2?
@darth@popey@thelinuxEXP@cameronbosch there is the simula one, but it's expensive. The thing that has me most excited, is the rumor that the valve device is standalone and non arm
