Yesterday I talked about accessibility and design system work in Podman Desktop at our community call. The recording is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vDsKCnCiqo&t=1052s
I opened with the WebAIM 2026 numbers – the average web page now has 56 detectable accessibility errors, up from 51 last year.

Just a heads-up, in ten minutes, I will be speaking about accessibility and design system work in Podman Desktop at the @podmandesktop community call. Eight months, 70+ PRs—color tokens, high-contrast themes, dialog language cleanup, component modernization.

Say hello to Hummingbird for Podman Desktop!
Your local images might have lighter, more secure alternatives waiting to be discovered 👀
With Hummingbird Extension you can:
🛡️ Find hardened image alternatives
🔍 Compare CVEs with Grype integration
📦 Explore a catalog of secure images
⚡ Pull them directly into your workflow
Less guessing. More secure containers.
#PodmanDesktop #Containers #DevSecOps
Two new high contrast themes shipped in @podmandesktop 1.27 – hc-light and hc-dark.
Most of the work wasn't the themes. It was ripping out hardcoded colors and replacing them with semantic tokens, so buttons, progress bars, and spinners stop fighting on theme switch. The spinner now respects prefers-reduced-motion too.
A11y work is invisible when it's done right. Probably why it slips.
