As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.
Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.
We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564

WHY has microsoft still not added frame rate boost to sunset overdrive? why is the xbox one's best exclusive title locked at 900p30 outside of the PC release?
phil spencer sir if you're reading this PLEASE spend nine hundred billion dollars to acquire sony so you can have insomniac release a 60fps patch and then make sunset overdrive 2 before firing 65% of staff to "refocus and streamline scope" as you coerce bright-eyed university graduates who haven't had their souls purèed yet into contractor roles with "an opportunity for a full time role at our headquarters in [insert at-will employment state here]" who you fire one day before they would become permanent and getting them to deliver a poorly received extraction shooter reboot of syphon filter with live service mechanics in 2031 that was supposed to launch in 2029 along with the custom controller which did launch in 2029 only to immediately shutter the studio without telling what few employed staff remain so they only find out they're fired when they read a blog post on linkedin attributed to "Xbox Marketing Team" about how you've made the "heartbreaking decision" to "say goodbye to" the "sony team" except two people who "remain a valuable part of the xbox family" and now release limited edition skins for halo infinite

Apple is now barred from charging 27% commissions on purchases outside the App Store and from restricting or discouraging external payment links, following a ruling in the Epic v. Apple case https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/5/court-ruling-bars-apple-from-charging-27-commission-on-purchases-outside-the-app-store/
I'm writing a thing. It's going over some basic mechanisms about how meritocracy messages about pay don't always work the way we think they do. Every time I write a damn thing like this my brain screams, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS and IT'S SO OBVIOUS please tell me trying to educate about basic social science is helpful

📢 We moved to our own mastodon server
Due to ongoing issues with the Fosstodon server, we've decided to take control of our data and enhance our digital sovereignty by hosting our own Mastodon server.
This move ensures better reliability and aligns with our commitment to open-source principles.
Join us on https://social.xwiki.com/@xwiki and continue the dialogue in a space we run, for us all.

Anyone got any canvassing plans? Can't afford (or ineligible to use) the party-owned corporate subscription software to manage it?

Oh well, after some research, I might have to create subdomains for other #ActivityPub if I want to avoid conflicts with #Mastodon
I am thinking about #Lemmy and #Pixelfed, and maybe ever so perhaps #Manyfold in the future
I will probably keep Mastodon under the same domain for now, and eventually move it to its subdomain when I feel like the time has come
I am still checking to have two different instances on the same domain tho', for science

Nice item from Arjen Lübach on Dutch TV:
#Spotify - Fake Music, Real Money.
Who is the most listened to artist of all times on spotify, would you guess?
Of course, you guessed it correct. It is the one and only Johan Röhr from Sweden, who has 650 different artist profiles and more than 15 billion streams.
And Spotify ❤️ loves Johan, because they agreed to pay him less, and in return they will put him in playlists all over the play.. umm, place.
This TED talk is so powerful. Please watch it.

ISP has a /32 of #IPv6 space.
So, naturally, they fear running out of addresses and use /127s out of fc00::/7 for public facing PTP links, because apparently, 4.29 billion /64s wasn't enough space.
Seriously, people _suck_ at thinking about big numbers.
NotebookLMが作るポッドキャストに関して追加
これに関連してもう少し話すと、「このレベルのものはAIが作れるんだ」という感覚じゃないかなと感じました。たとえば別の言い方をすると、このレベルのものを軽んじて、あまり注目を向けないという感覚なのかなということです。それは、意識がより高いレベルや抽象度の高い方に向かうとも言えますが、似たようなものを人間が作った場合に、それを軽視するという危険性もありそうです。
もしかしたらこれは、AIが作ったものに対する嫌悪感の言語化かもしれませんが、まだはっきりとは分かりません。今はまだ人間側が、AIが作るものに対して「こんなものまで作れるんだ、すごい」という感覚を抱くものですが、それは「人間が作ったもののレベルまで近づいたんだ」という驚きであるということ。
でも、その驚きの前提としては、「人間が作ったものを見て、自分が感動した経験」みたいなものがあるわけです。でももしも、これから生まれてくる人が「人間が作ったものを見て、感動する」よりも前に、AIが作ったものを大量に見るとしたら、人間が作ったものを見て驚くその度合いは小さくなるのかもしれません。（そんなに単純じゃないかもしれません。）
あまりまとまってない話ですけど、とりあえずメモ。
