ChanceyFleet@mas.toAs a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

regarding all the mastodon4harris stuff. i can only speak for myself here, but when i donate to mutual aid requests for help i see on here, I don't fucking post about it.
I'll be the first to admit that i have at least some level of middle class guilt, i grew up middle class around a bunch of working class people, and having found a decently well paying and stable job in tech (surprisingly easy as a privileged and reasonably smart white cishet passing guy) i often think "wow i have some disposable income that's great". Being able to give that money to people who need it (and being able to find those people in the first place) is genuinely an honor, and a humbling experience.
from this perspective, i can certainly imagine why someone would be much more comfortable advertising their donation to the harris campaign (a truly middle class venture) but not so comfortable advertising their donation to some random mutual aid thing.
i think these are clearly very different kinds of donation, with different intents and expectations. From the middle class perspective it's frowned upon to appear like you're being a good person for giving your money away to someone who needs it - it's like you're trying to guilt other middle class people into doing the same and you will get shunned for it.
I think this mentality is totally the reason why some middle class people don't donate to mutual aid stuff - it's easy to try and not think about something and/or blame the victim.
Yes, this is obviously fucked. I don't mean to excuse or normalise this behaviour, I just think we should engage in a more systemic analysis (and more middle class shaming).
We live in a society that includes a lot of people who do not have economic stability. I would be broke if i gave money to every mutual aid post i see.
idk, I don't see anybody acknowledge this shit and i really wonder why??

The open source industry burns out its contributors and has an ageing problem.
It's because open source is too fast-paced.
We're working on our projects with all our hearts and a few resources. With peers all around the globe, there will always be someone to work with. We need to take more time to reflect on why we do what we do, communicate it, and onboard others to ensure a more balanced and inclusive approach to our work.
It's not a tech problem. It's a people's problem.

pabloyoyoista@social.treehouse.systemsSo thanks to @rmader@mastodon.social we managed to get the front camera in the Pixel 3a working with a libcamera/pipewire stack 🥳 Thanks to @flamingradian for the work on the whole port!
EDIT: The driver does not properly release the camera when closing the app, so it only works once per boot. It would be lovely if anybody with the skills would like to contribute to improve it!

AdrianVovk@fosstodon.orgJust got GNOME Mobile 46 built and running in @postmarketOS on my OP6, here at #GUADEC2024 in Denver, so the folks in Berlin aren't the only ones that can try it out!
Come find me at the BoFs tomorrow if you want to play with it!
Thanks @cas for the help getting it building!

postmarketOS@fosstodon.org@EC_NGI and @nlnet make a dramatic impact to improve our sustainable, privacy and attention respecting #linuxmobile ecosystem. One of the very few answers we have to the duopoly of Android and iOS from Silicon Valley!
Because of that we are saddened about the @EUCommission not mentioning NGI programmes anymore in their draft of funding programmes for 2025. 😢
We signed the open letter, consider doing the same if your project received funding in the past.

bragefuglseth@fosstodon.orgIs there anyone who is interested in taking over maintenance of this lovely chess timer app for #GNOME written in #Python? It's pretty cool (and a member of GNOME Circle!), but its maintainer, the wonderful Clara Hobbs, is stepping away from the project. If this sounds interesting to you, reach out to them!

robot@wetdry.worldWhat is the current state of NFC on linux?
I want to write an HCE application for Asteroid and potentially other mobile linux targets but am having trouble finding information on where to start.
What toolkits should I use? Should I make my APDU handler a little library? Should provisioning be in that library or somewhere else? How do I register an AID with the system? How do I shove APDUs back at the reader? Is any of this even possible yet?
If anyone knows anything about this please reach out.

A few more accent color things landed, e.g. settings illustrations can now follow it, calculator has dropped orange, new dialogs disambiguate suggested/destructive styles, while papers and sysprof properly redraw when accent changes now (and it's all in gnome os, incl. shell finally). So yeah, it's all in a fairly good shape now ^^ (other than blue folders)
