It's ridiculous that we basically have two mobile 'options', both with restrictive, proprietary app stores (see also https://keepandroidopen.org/).

If Europe values digital sovereignty, then it needs to invest more in open hardware, open source OS's, and alternative app stores. 🇪🇺

I'd like to imagine I'm not the only one who struggles with the desire to create, share, and upkeep things that I've previously shared. This feels more acute when it's a tool someone else might use.

I've been coming to grips with this "personal tech debt", not sure what else to call it and wrote a post about it [1]. I would love to hear how others deal with this, especially those working on small FOSS projects that are "scratch your own itch".

Hello friend! 👋

I'm Vinterkarusell.

I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography \\ music‑wise I bend towards #EDM, while photography stretches from drone/aerial shots to architecture and everyday stills.

A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, #FOSS and #Linux.

When I'm not crafting noise or framing pixels, I’m reading terms and conditions of whatever just to feel something.

Also, I get paid to talk. Not paid a lot, mind you—I just talk a lot.

“One of my regrets about my years of being Mr. Famous Guy, when I had maximum leadership leverage, is that I didn't foresee the political threat to open source.
I thought it was enough to be apolitical, invite everybody to be part of our development community, and that everybody would continue to keep politics out of the coding. Including even my own libertarian politics.
If I had known what was coming, I would have made a big deal about insisting that the open source community had to have one positive political value: free speech and opposition to censorship. That would have been justified on the object level, because we can't function when those political conditions are violated.” — @esrtweet (x.com) @esrtweetEric S. Raymond

"I created this #FreeSoftware and I expect contributions and caretakers". No. Wrong expectation. It doesn't work that way.

As #FOSS dev one starts a project based on ones own self-interested motives. We had needs to be satisfied, and addressing them is the reward, the return value. We cannot *expect* that to just flow to us, must assure it instead. Only where expectations are mutual can we count on them. Actual commitments underpin and drive collaborative arrangements.

Everyone, rejoice 🙌

Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564, which introduces keyboard-navigable month cells. This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be fully navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only high-level goal that needs work now is conveying these information with assistive technologies 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. This means that focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying the current cell. Then, focus moves to the topmost event widget in the next cell or row. Tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab moves in the opposite direction.
- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves the focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, pressing Ctrl+Tab on any event widget has the same effect.
- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating an event. Additionally, pressing and holding the Shift key while pressing the 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 took us almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on the best one for our use case. Everything was done voluntarily, relying solely on support from donors and those who share these posts, without any financial backing from other entities. In contrast, most, if not all, calendar apps backed by trillion-dollar companies still don't offer proper keyboard navigation across their views. In many cases, they haven't even reached feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME. Thank you! ♥️

An update on GNOME Calendar: Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging parts of merge request !598, making the month view easier than ever to navigate with a keyboard!

This merge request introduces a coordinate-aware navigation system in the month view, which computes the coordinates of relevant event widgets and finds the nearest widget relative to the one in focus when using arrow keys. When tabbing, 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 goes in the opposite direction.

To illustrate the sheer complexity of navigation in a calendaring app, here is Georges's live reaction:

"Wow, congratulations, this is looking INSANE, Hari... The hell is going on here"
