I am an Indian transgender individual from Montréal, Canada. I write articles and responses for educational purposes; and maintain Upscaler, Refine, and @usebottles. I brought accessibility support in GNOME Calendar and regularly contribute to accessibility throughout the GNOME ecosystem. Also a @gnome Foundation member. Please consider donating if it is not too much trouble: https://tesk.page/#donate Just a couple of warnings for those who are considering following me: • For personal posts and posts that I believe deserve serious attention, I'll take the liberty of boosting them a few times over the course of a few days. • I won't add any content warning for serious topics that are actionable. • I am vocal about FOSS and real-world politics. If I notice unacceptable behavior from someone, I will likely call them or their behavior out in public. Expect drama. However, in return, please call me out of my unacceptable behavior. • This might come to a surprise, but I have feel
Hey, lately, I've been generally unmotivated to contribute to free and open-source projects because I can't sustain myself long-term. I can't find any local or online job that allows me to make a positive impact and not feel depressed. I am not receiving a sufficient number of donations either. I would really appreciate some donations. Your support would enable me to continue working on accessibility throughout @npub1vzv8...s5n9 and writing educational and informative articles. You can donate to me via: Liberapay (preferred), Ko-fi, and GitHub Sponsors. Boosts welcome and very much appreciated. #MutualAidRequest #MutualAid
Question for Ukrainians: Do public statements in support of Ukraine in people's bio and website make you feel safe(r) around them? I've been thinking of publicly stating support for Ukraine for more than a year now, but I worry I'd come off as someone who's virtue signaling, resulting in the opposite effect. I haven't made this a poll because I suspect answers are nuanced rather than "Yes" or "No" – comments are appreciated so I can understand how to publicly show support (or not, if it's regarded as red flags instead). (Boost/Reposts appreciated)
As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49. Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets. We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible:
