Pledges coming from proprietary software companies mean nothing
Get behind the community that is _really_ fighting to curb climate change:
We need unions.
And we also need employee-owned collectives that reject eternal growth, increased production, and shareholder profit as the goals of our labor.
The infinite growth model is destroying our world. We can build alternatives.
It’s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesn’t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. *poof*
“your app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage … Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.” https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015241-CH12-SW1 Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?
✅ Tusky 25.2 is now on F-Droid!! With several bug fixes and improvements on stability. Check for the update and enjoy the new version!!
The new Pixelfed mobile app will preserve media aspect ratios, no need to tap to view the full image as photos will be rendered to preserve native aspect ratios😎

Another #PyConUS accessibility thing that is *HUGE* but never seen as an accessibility thing:
SIGNAGE.
Having signs outside talks saying what talk was next, having signs directing you towards lunch or checkin, etc, is a big deal.
For anxious people, or people who have rejection sensitivity, or people who have social-related trauma, knowing the door you are about to open is the right door is a big deal.
PyConUS did pretty good here!
We’ve always told devs that browsers prioritize what to implement based on dev demand.
There is one exception: #SVG.
SVG is used on >65% of websites. Yet, browsers have been *refusing* to work on SVG, ignoring pressure and pain points from web devs.
#StateOfHTML showed SVG as the top content pain point: https://2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/content/#content_pain_points
Tons of work (SVG 2, fill & stroke, and more) has sat unimplemented for years. At this point, in standards circles, we know not to touch SVG with a barge pole.
