Yet another queer & kinda autistic computer nerd. I mainly code in Rustโ„ข, and I consider myself a rustacean. Uni student. I joined Mastodon after the Reddit exodus, let's see how it goes (edit: going great!).

Free Palestine, free Ukraine, trans rights are human rights, antifascist, antiracist, former student union leader, etc; woke mind virus all the way down lol. I just believe we can make the world actually better, what a sad thought not to.

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! โ™ฅ๏ธ

Hello from Google ๐Ÿ˜!

After over 10 years writing about Android, I'm SO excited to finally be ... working for Android!

Just as exciting is that my role includes community engagement, so I'll still be connected to the Android community I love and hope to help people learn to โ™ฅ๏ธ Android as much as I do.

How am I gonna do that? You'll be hearing much more from me in the near future about these efforts, so stay tuned!

Dear Scammers, Spammers, Bots, and Trolls,
Fuck you. Get off Fedi. No one wants you here.

Dear Mutual Aid Requesters,
Don't act like scammers, spammers, or botsโ€”otherwise you get treated like them. Instead, build community and friends here. Contribute positively. Then folx will want to help you.

Dear Adult Content Posters,
Don't post other folx' nudes without consent. It makes you look like spammers and bots; and it's considered Image-Based Sexual Abuse, as well as copyright infringementโ€”both of which are illegal. Instead, boost local sexworkers / content creators and post your own stuff. Build something positive.

Dear Reply Guys, Sea Lions, and Concern Trolls,
Just stop. Also, you used the wrong *their* again.

Dear Everyone,
Be kind. Support marginalized communities. Write good alt-text. Report predatory accounts. And keep being lovely ๐Ÿ’ž

Let's keep Fedi from becoming Twitter, together.

We've got a good thing here.
