CAUTION: EVENTS IN CALENDAR ARE SOONER THAN THEY APPEAR

👌 Auditors, experts, message received! 📃 Our web and PDF accessibility assessment frameworks, RAWeb and RAPDF, are moving to version 1.1. On the agenda: your suggestions for improvement, as well as support for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), less ambiguity […] [Original post on mas.to]

Anthropic vient de publier une étude sur les gains en productivité apportés par les outils d'IA pour les développeurs. Vu que c'est leur business via Claude Code, on aurait pu s'attendre à un bon gros tas de bullshit. À la surprise générale, ils ont décidé d'être très honnêtes sur les […]

If you’re a @phanpy fan using an iPhone or iPad, and you’re in the EU or Japan (where @altstore PAL is available), good news 👀 I’ve made a native iOS build that you can install right now through AltStore PAL! It's called... iPhanpy. It’s still Phanpy at its […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

we all need a little less raging against the dying of the light and a little more coordinated tactical assault on the darkness factory

I just discovered that @palaisdetokyo joined the fediverse at the end of last year with little fan fare. I see they still haven't added a social link to the bottom of their website either but they did verify their URL here which is more then many institutions. I added their account to @wikidata […]

question for people- for the accessible description of an emoji, would you expect it to say the skin tones? for instance, "women holding hands" vs "women holding hands: light skin tone, medium-light skin tone" personally the latter feels very verbose, but i'd love to get thoughts! #mastodon […]

A back-to-work cartoon for @newscientist.com

I loved this, but the person who posted it had crappy alt text, so I'm re-posting.

En cette fin d'année, n'hésitez pas à prendre le temps de réévaluer vos idoles/mentors. Ce n'est pas parce que ces personnes vous ont inspirés/aidés à un moment de votre vie que vous leurs êtes redevables ad vitam. Si vous n’êtes plus en adéquation avec leurs discours actuels, vous pouvez […]

I had apparently not realised that emoji don't announce themselves as images at all, and just get read out as their Unicode name. Thanks @gerireid! So much good advice in this article from today's HTMHell advent calendar (@matuzo): https://htmhell.dev/adventcalendar/2025/17/

As we're working on Collections (an upcoming feature similar to "starter packs"), and improvements to the design of user profiles, we would like to hear from you! Please use our - short & anonymous! - User Experience Survey to share your thoughts. #mastodon #userexperience #design […]

The two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars. Both were discovered by women. Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967. Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell. Louise Webster […]

Always nice to have options

Three years ago, I decided to quit Twitter and install a Mastodon server to see if it can replace it for me. It worked better than expected and I discoered so many new amazing people along the way. I would also never have imagined that I could end up recruiting and leading the team building it! […]

Happy US-EAST-1 Goes South Day, to all those who entrust their businesses to Big Tech.

Worf: You don't have to contribute anything incredible to society in order to have the right to exist.

C’est impressionnant à quel point tout ça ne sert rigoureusement à RIEN. Quand on dit que l’IA est une solution à la recherche d’un problème, c’est à ce genre d’absurdités qu’on pense. https://mastodon.social/@nicolasf/115300817068455707

N'empêche qu'il faut être lecteur du Figaro pour penser que la taxe Zucman c'est l'extrême-gauche. LO, ils ne veulent pas prendre 2% de Bernard Arnault, ils veulent lui prendre sa fortune et collectiviser ses entreprises sans indemnisation.

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]

Everyone wins! #alttext #accessibility

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

🦝 So you've made a great program that pulses all over the paid alternatives, great, now for the love of god please delegate the naming of that software to someone Normal so you don't end up calling it something like Kalculator

Masterful: *“I know that oftentimes, female authors use initials so that people assume it’s a male writer. So, I have to presume that J.K. Rowling was unsatisfied with the way that the world saw her, and then she transitioned herself into a new personality so that the world would perceive her […]

Très chouette vidéo de @histoirescrepues sur l'expo Dakar-Djibouti (pour laquelle j'ai été concepteur graphique), avec un gros focus sur le contexte colonial, les conditions d'acquisition des œuvres, et leur potentiel devenir. À voir ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrHlGg78uI

Dude, if you're still posting "first they came for" -- that was a decade ago. They're building death camps now.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

What are all these AI coding tools doing to your brain? 🧠👀 I’m so excited to be speaking at @ffconf.org with @rivea0.bsky.social to look at their impact on our skills, our work and our industry. Nov 14th, Brighton, with early bird tickets available right now!

After nuclear weapons testing began in 1945, atmospheric radiation contaminated new steel production worldwide. For decades, scientists needing radiation-free metal for sensitive instruments had to salvage steel from pre-war shipwrecks. Scientists called this steel "low-background steel." […]
