Just had a sighted person tell me they often use features, clients and programs that were made for us, they don’t use screen readers, but they use accessibility features, even when they do not have disabilities, but also clients like a blind Mastodon client, or a text editor designed with screen readers in mind such as the ones I list on my Tools page at the end, as an example, because they said, the interface is 1000 times cleaner, there’s a lot of keyboard shortcuts, clutter free interface, even though the UI is basic, speed, less bloat, and a whole host of other things including, but not limited to, and never having to put up with distracting animation nonsense. You know software development has vastly sank in quality when sighted folk are using blind clients. To see the tools and stuff I use, go to sightlessscribbles.com/tools/

Hi everyone! 👋 Despite being a longtime Fediverse lurker (Mastodon.uno + a self-hosted blog), this is the first time I join a generalist English-speaking instance. After earning my PhD in (UBC) and working in journalism, I’m now exploring tech/policy roles, especially in , , and . Moving back to and keen to collaborate!

When I am off-duty, I’m a die-hard and a sucker for Turkish/Anatolian psychedelic rock 🙂

I recommend these easy first steps to for an average user:

1. Install @signalappSignal, and *delete* WhatsApp
2. Start using or @librewolf with the @ublockorigin extension
3. Start using @libreoffice for documents and spreadsheets
4. Use a free opensource email client e.g. @thunderbirdThunderbird: Free Your Inbox

All of the above can be done on non free operating systems.

Start experimenting with on a spare computer or laptop. All recommended software works there as well.

Im Landkreis Harz arbeiten Schüler:innen auf gebrauchten Business-Laptops mit -OS.

"Ich unterrichte keine Marke, sondern ich unterrichte Kompetenzen. Textverarbeitung, Textstrukturierung oder Tabellenkalkulation können mit genauso vermittelt werden wie mit Office." - Lehrerin Johanna Müller

Genau so geht und selbstbestimmte Techniknutzung! Keine überteuren Lizenzen, keine Schaffung von (Pfad)abhängigkeiten bereits im Kindesalter, keine Produktwerbung, für die auch noch gezahlt wird. Stattdessen nebenbei kritisches Denken fördern, während vordergründig Bürosoftware gelernt wird.

Back in 2022, surrounded by colleagues who were infused with "open source scepticism", I wrote "Open Source in Enterprise Environments - Where Are We Now and What Is Our Way Forward?" nxdomain.no/~peter/opensource_ as an explainer.

Hopefully a useful thing for others too, with links therein

RE: chaos.social/@lmke/11613355841

好像外国人普遍启蒙Linux是Linux Mint，中国人的启蒙Linux好像却大多数是Ubuntu，在V2上，有人问Linux使用帖子，Ubuntu和Debian各自占据半壁江山，有人用Alpine还被嘲讽没有systemd残废了233，然后被嘲讽的就开始嘲讽systemd是垃圾2333，可见Arch，Gentoo，Alpine等等原教旨注意玩家还是少。

I Use Debian BTW.

是因为Ubuntu i18n做的比Mint好，Snap商店可以一键安装，软件兼容性更高，更符合中国人的软件使用习惯，商业化程度高，好像有很多公司的默认Linux是Ubuntu吗？还有Linux桌面、安装引导，Ubuntu应该算是做的比较人性化的

查了下相关资料，还有其他原因：
1. 2013年，Canonical（Ubuntu 母公司）与中国工信部（MIIT）达成协议，共同打造了 Ubuntu Kylin 作为中国操作系统的参考架构；
2. Ubuntu 官方投入了大量资源与搜狗（Sogou）、金山（WPS）合作。在很长一段时间里，搜狗输入法、WPS Office 的 Linux 版首发和适配最好的都是 Ubuntu；
3. Ubuntu本身开源，但是其母公司Canonical 的商业色彩浓厚，更倾向于通过 Snap 商店（闭源后端）来统一分发闭源软件（如微信、钉钉的 Linux 版封装）；
4. 种种原因，Ubuntu成为“默认”Linux，教程庞大挤压其他Linux教程生态，导致小白入门大概率只能选Ubuntu。

还有现在大学教学Linux一般都是Ubuntu和CentOS，网安专业会让你顺便安装Kali Linux，但是个人觉得apt系列就选Debian，Redhat系就选Rocky Linux吧。
还有刚刚开始用Debian的时候，我读作“低半”，后来看了些Youtube视频才改口成“呆扁”。

il est super clean, et en plus tu pourras y installer linux comme expliqué ici wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebi
Seul petit souci, le connecteur usb-c est fatigué, il est sensible à la position d'insertion du câble. mais 👍
Si tu es intéressé.e...

I'm just going to post this here so you all what know what happened if I pretty much disappear.

I have been using for at least a couple of years now and have been constantly frustrated by the user interface in the web client. When I first came onto Mastodon I read that boosts were encouraged because this help propagate posts to servers. Never understood why that didn't happen automatically but oh, well. So I started boosting and found that everything I boosted showed up again in my timeline. Not only that, I started to notice that I was seeing multiple duplicates of other people's posts, even the ones I had not boosted. Apparently Mastodon has no way to keep track of what you're already seen! Or if it does, it's not filtering those posts from the timeline. And then there is my other frustration, that in many cases as you move around in Mastodon you lose your place in the timeline, and getting back to where you left off reading would not be nearly as hard if you weren't scrolling though multiple messages you've already read.

Please note that I only read Mastodon posts on my desktop computer. I NEVER use a fucking phone to read anything, I HATE modern phones. I'm fine with computers but every phone I have ever used seems incredibly difficult for some reason, although I know part of it is the text size is usually too small for older people. And I only use the Mastodon web site; I have tried alternatives and just don't like any of them, and none of them solve the problems I mentioned above. So I am NOT looking for suggestions on alternative Mastodon readers (and especially not ones that require a payment). What I want is for the Mastodon developers to fix their damn web client so you don't see duplicate and repetitive posts. But I have been shouting about this for two years and I might as well be the proverbial old man shouting at clouds because they obviously either aren't listening or don't care.

So I decided to give a serious try. What actually put that idea in my head was someone on here wondering why people would use corporate social media with its inevitable enshittification when they could be using the Fediverse. And I had the immediate thought, that at least some people probably don't use the Fediverse because the usability sucks in ways that the corporate social media doesn't. I love the content of Mastodon, if only I could only see any given post just once and once only!!!

Anyway to my surprise I found that a good 80% to 90% of the people I follow on Mastodon are also on Bluesky, and in many cases they are posting the same content there as here. The difference was that I could scroll through the last 12 hours or so of Bluesky, seeing pretty much identical content to what I see here (as far as I could tell) in well under 30 minutes, while doing the same thing here would take considerably longer because of all the duplicate posts. And because MOST Bluesky users are using the same site, you don't find that messages fail to propagate in the way that happens in the . I have NOT got completely into Bluesky, and I have not yet tried to post or boost there (although since boosting, or whatever it is called there, isn't really necessary to help propagate posts among servers I probably won't do as much of that there) but unless the experience there turns out to be much worse than what you get in the Mastodon web client, I may just drift over there. And if I happen to find a free Bluesky client that I like that runs on desktop Linux (Ubuntu/Flatpak, no snaps or paid apps) that would be icing on the cake.

This is not yet a final "goodbye, I am leaving" post, I may never do one because there is always the chance I will get ticked off at something Bluesky does and start using Mastodon again (especially if they fix their usability issues). But I just can't spend sometimes as much as three or four hours of a day scrolling through multiple duplicates of the same damn posts, it's not good for my physical or my mental health. This may be a case of "the grass is always greener" but I guess it is time for me to seriously try Bluesky.
