while yall are investgating alternate browsers, STAY AWAY FROM BRAVE
• run by homopobe and financial backer of other homophobes Brendan Eich
• crypto is all over the fucking thing. they drip feed users tiny amounts of crypto for unblocking certain ads and fill the home screen with crypto trackers and shit
• they "block ads" but inject their own affiliate links into sites you view
this is not the browser youre looking for
I'm so tired of people constantly mention that Windows (or other operating systems/desktops) works like that.
Look, if we wanted to make something work exactly like Windows, we would all be working on ReactOS instead of Linux.
Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)
During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:
• Event widgets/popovers will convey to screen readers that they are toggle buttons. They will also convey of their states (whether they're pressed or not) and that they have a popover. (See !587)
• Calendar rows will convey to screen readers that they are check boxes, along with their states (whether they're checked or not). Additionally, they will no longer require a second press of a tab to get to the next row; one tab will be sufficient. (See !588)
• Month and year spin buttons are now capable of being interacted with using arrow up/down buttons. They will also convey to screen readers that they are spin buttons, along with their properties (current, minimum, and maximum values). The month spin button will also wrap, where going back a month from January will jump to December, and going to the next month from December will jump to January. (See !603)
• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions. (See !606)
Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!
There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3
Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.
All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷

Amazonian scorpion molecule wipes out breast-cancer cells in lab tests. Brazilian scientists isolated a peptide from Brotheas amazonicus venom and, using yeast ‘factories’, mass-produced it to screen against tumour lines. In vitro, the compound triggered necrosis in breast-cancer cells within 24 hours, achieving effects comparable to chemotherapy without damaging surrounding tissue. https://www.sciencealert.com/amazonian-scorpion-venom-can-kill-breast-cancer-cells-scientists-say?ref=fixthenews.com

Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis
Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?
She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a temporary' detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps.
She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn't realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn't handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn't care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.
And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.
Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State's detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A.
Single. Difference.
So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y'all can shut the fuck up with that "stop making concentration camp comparisons, you're diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust" bullshit.
Its also worth noting that her family TRIED to flee to the US and was denied. She was in that camp partly because the US refused to let her refugee family immigrate.

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

Woodworkers are the most welcoming community I know of. You're talking to a master craftsman but they're still excited to see your garden planter.
On the flip side, the worst are probably electronics & math folks on Stack Exchange & Reddit: "get better before you talk to us".
Working theory: toxicity grows in proportion to the distance to wood
Recently, Microsoft has been laying off employees at a rate of approximately 5,000 per month, and this trend is accelerating. Thus, my machine learning algorithm predicts that by 2027, the company will be run solely by the CEO and some AI.

"People should have voted for Democrats."
Maybe Democrats should have campaigned on something OTHER than being anti-immigration, pro-cop, pro-genocide, and having "the deadliest military on earth," making it hard to distinguish them from Republicans.
Saying something once or having one line on a campaign website doesn't fucking count. We all saw what their priorities were last year. We see what they're doing to Zohran Mamdani right now. It's why they're chill about ICE.
Democrats blew off the cost of living crisis, called their own voters Hamas, and chased Trump to the right. They would have done many of the same things Trump and Republicans are doing now, in kind if not in scale.
