Hi @matt 👋

Yesterday in #LibrePlanet chat I named the #Makepad project, a real adorable 😍 effort that's still lacking on the #a11y side, i.e. could do with some #AccessKit on board.

Today I found out that Makepad is apparently part of a #Rust appdev effort, called #Robius. Another project here is #Dioxus.. also in for @accesskit #accessiblity support.. maybe. 🤔

Robius looks like a very loose conglomeration of independent projects. Maybe AccessKit is even a fit to it?

@matt I just joined the matrix chat, and gave a link to my toot above.

I created an issue some time ago in the tracker about :

Who knows.. maybe the wheel need not be reinvented again, right? And they are open to .

Btw, thank you for your talk yesterday. I really liked it, it was a great presentation.

Thanks so much to everyone who hung in this week as we’ve all worked to fix the state of the Nix community. It’s been a ride; but I think things are going to get better.

Here’s the last major piece of the puzzle — the product of several months of work from an absolutely incredible team. It’s not ready for a full announcement, but we’ve opened our beta so people who are fleeing the core Nix community have a place to go.

I can't join either. Space is not accessible, and also unconfigurable in the servers list. Might be down, or there's nothing public yet?

Btw, probably well-known by those closely involved in Nix et al, there's also by The Virus Lounge, a reimplementation of the language. And a project that got funding from @NGIZero

PS. I just signed up to the aux.computer community forum. And saw that @jakehamilton created a topic mentioning :

Sharing the excitement there. Thanks for your great work done already! I hope the communities will collab closely together in Auxy Lixy ecosystem that is shaping up :blobaww:

Guess so.. Matrix always weird when it comes to different servers than matrix.org .. I'll see if I can get in somehow. Thx.

What I did in Element UI was:

  • Explore public rooms

  • Show server dropdown > Add new server ...

  • Type lix.systems .. matrix complains 'not found'. Just ignore that and Add anyway

  • Suddenly Matrix is enlightened and shows the one public room.

Facebook/Meta starts talking about the "Extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish as predicted:

"“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,”

Yes, as co-facilitator of , that is the point. Highly in favor of a bottom-up 3-phase standards process designed to guarantee an open ecosystem and tech landscape. Wrote a bunch about that on :

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/3-stage-standards-process-guaranteeing-an-open-and-decentralized-ecosystem/3602

Yet it is hard.. as it happens and in typical grassroots social dynamics, everyone tends to care most about their own shop.

Much to the benefit of any large corporation practicing EE or , I should add. Meta is already king.

Nice, I will add to my huge backlog on the delightful curated list: https://codeberg.org/teaserbot-labs/delightful-funding/issues/1

(part of https://delightful.club).

Btw, yesterday there was a great talk by Iván Alejandro on and it was quite impressive as a Libre payment system.

Today at 7pm UTC its @accesskit time!

A talk at by Matt Campbell:

In talk about the speaker Iván Alejandro Ávalos Díaz is warning us about our future in 2050 where we no longer have to choose our payment systems, pay with cash, or pay at all if we were behaving 'naughty'.

@Taler @NGI_Taler

Screenshot from the talk showing fictitious screenshot in 2050 showing that unfortunately PainPal has frozen your bank account due to 'suspicious activity'. Reasons are that the article are deemed to be against corporate interest to show you, you use encrypted equipment, and you might create competing financial systems.

@julian I think the best way is to subscribe to the the mailing list and reply to state your interest to participate and in what way.

I am not sure about how-to-subscribe for this particular list, and I'm not subscribed myself. I created the socialhub topic to draw attention to fedi dev community there.

See that there's a 'reply' icon on the thread, which pops up an email form. Dunno if that works. Search finds zilch searching for weirdly enough.

You could reply on SocialHub.

Not so long ago, I finished parking about 900 computing related papers, books and magazines in my paperless instance. I felt like I'd finally finished the annoying work of fixing titles and tagging stuff.

Then I remembered the ca. 400 RPG related PDFs.

It takes a singular genius to run a company into the ground as efficiently as Musk seems to be capable of doing. Like between Twitter and Tesla it's pretty clear that my parrots—and possibly my chickens—could do a better job.

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@hrefna

Maybe the flaw in this thinking is in the words "better job". That Musk bought twitter for all those billions with the intent to make it better. That he took on the duty and responsibility to bring "success". As a job. Work.

But maybe he just bought twitter as a plaything, a toy. Being rich enough to do so, and comparable to someone with modal income buying a high-powered jetski. A person a bit careless with money. And crashing the jetski, saying "Oh well.. I've had some great fun" :D

Time to move off #Ubuntu has finally come. So many #Linux #distros to choose from, though. Makes my head spin 😵

I need one with:

  1. Great #driver support (maybe get that webcam working finally)

  2. Smooth & slick #UX / #UI (I'm less of a terminal guy)

  3. Focus on #security, security-first approach (but not the ones that are made for James Bond)

What do you suggest? #AskFedi

Ja, dat was ik denk ik, op het event in Den Haag. Enige verwarring daarbij is dat ik niet van Mastodon ben, maar hen indirect wel vertegenwoordig. Ik sta nl. in het algemeel de Fedi voor en haar . O.a. mede-faciliteer en representeer ik al geruime tijd de dev community en het process beheer.
