๐Ÿ“ข Congrats to editors Matt Garrish, @ivan_herman and @dauwhe for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard EPUB3.3, revolutionizing digital publishing #timetoadopt https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33/

๐Ÿ“˜ EPUB 3.3 is a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. It enables the representation, packaging, and encoding of structured and semantically enhanced web content, including #HTML, #CSS, #SVG, and more, in a single-file container

@michael Please, please do not do this under any circumstance, if you care about your instance being accessible to the #blind and visually impaired (hint, you should).

#HCaptcha is a horrible example of how not to implement a #captcha solution, forcing people to register their email address and store a cookie, as well as disable cross origin restrictions on their devices in order to pass validation.

There are much better alternatives, such as the no-hassle https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha, which does not need any user input other than checking a checkbox. Alternatively, use captchas that provide text versions, e.g. via solving a math question or at the very minimum, provide an audio version, knowing that it is not ideal for the hearing impaired.

HCaptcha is NOT the future. #accessibility #a11y

Free Software Community of India (#FSCI) statement on banning of apps like @element and @briar

"Federated, peer-to-peer, encrypted, Free Software apps/software like #Element and #Briar, should be promoted. They are key to our national security as they provide means to enable sovereign, private and secure communication to citizens of India. Element has been embraced by Governments of France, Germany and Sweden which should be an example for #India."

Hooray, #Matrix plugin for #Irssi can now both read and send messages in rooms. ๐Ÿฅณ

This is not true; please don't spread misinformation, especially for the purposes of advertising proprietary software.

I hadn't realized just how much of the online #blind community had migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. That gives added oomph to the need to use #AltText on our images (as well as CamelCase on hashtags).

An open letter to organisations engaging with the online blind community. Twitter has abandoned us, many of us have abandoned Twitter, join us on Mastodon

I just wasted an hour of my life because of a small typo in my code, coupled with the fact that #VMware does not tell you in any way if you have an invalid path to an ISO image set for your virtual machine's CD drive. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Wow, one small change, and I got initial sync time in Irssi-Matrix from ~40 seconds down to maybe 5 seconds, with over 30 rooms joined.

Yay for flamegraphs! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

#Irssi #Matrix

wait why the fuck do I need a ticket to watch the livestream of @fediforum? I thought we were building the open web! thats ridiculous

Uhh, of course that for my experiments in updating this long-forgotten #Gentoo box, I choose the day when most of Gentoo documentation is down due to a maintenance.

Working with a half-broken #Portage installation is fun!
