If the #Linux#accessibility stack was just a little bit better I'd have switched. Probably yesterday. But honestly from my limited experience, I've had many random screen reader crashes for absolutely no reason among other random things.
If I could, I would love to fund some people who are a lot better at programming than I to make this thing happen. Perhaps someday...
All I want (really) is the ability to protect my #privacy and do all the other super cool things I could do on Linux. The problem right now is (because I'm not an expert who has spent, say, years trying to use Linux desktop, I get stuck. I don't know what to do when, say, my screen reader crashes. Or why. Or what random terminal command I could run to (possibly? Maybe? fix a random problem because a friend said this is what they did to fix it (they think))...
I'm simply excited for the day when I can walk up to a Linux-based computer, and comfortably be able to use it to do anything without risk of not knowing an obscure command or because something 3 levels deep crashed and now I can't get speech and...

Adulte #dys il a lâché le français depuis le collège.
Il est obligé de se reconvertir et bosse depuis 6 mois pour reprendre confiance en son écrit avec de gros progrès.
Restent de vraies fragilités qui vont compliquer une formation qu'il débute bientôt dans un secteur où l'écrit a une place importante.
Connais tu un logiciel gratuit qui fait du #speechtotext sous #linux pour lui simplifier la vie ?

Thunderbird family, thank you for your unending patience. Some of you may have noticed this already, but we're happy to say that Thunderbird 115 is now available on Flathub!
Enjoy Supernova, enjoy your Friday, and thanks as always for supporting free and open-source software
I just posted a new video with my solutions for mobile digital painting on GNU/Linux! It's not sponsored, about a refurbished 5 y/o hardware, and relatively low budget. 🙂
If you are out there happily applying the new #Debian pointrelease - DO NOT REBOOT into the updated #linux#kernel. It contains a serious (and silent) #data#corruption#bug that MAY (not must) affect you.
Fixes are in preparation, but builds will take a bit to complete.
Folks who might be looking to move from Windows to Linux: another option, if it’s financially feasible for you and you don’t want to mess with installing Linux, is to sell your Windows machine and buy a Linux one.
Je m'appelle Camille.
J'adore tout ce qui touche au cyber, au numérique, à la politique, à la philosophie et aux maths !
Je sais développer, j'utilise #linux tous les jours et j'aime lire, surtout de la poésie et des essais. (D'ailleurs la citation dans ma bio provient de l'auteur incroyable qu'est René Char.)
Sinon dans la vie je suis sur Paris et j'aimerais bien faire évoluer la conscience politique de ma génération...
Je connais un peu de nom le fédiverse mais c'est la première fois que j'essaye !
D'ailleurs, j'ai trouvé une option qui permet de delete mes 'posts' après de 2 semaines (ce que j'ai activé).
You may have seen the “Verified” badge on apps from Flathub which shows that the developer has proven ownership of their app, e.g. via their website or code host.
With great adoption (nearly 1,000 verified apps!), we’re trying something out to help with transparency:
⚠️ Unverified
If you see this, it flags that the app has not been verified by its developer—it’s effectively a community-maintained package.
Microsoft reveals subscription pricing for using Windows 10 beyond 2025, and it's not cheap. Customers will need to pay $61 per device, which will double every year for three years, to remain secure on Windows 10. If you just do shopping or social media you can use alternative os like Ubuntu, Mint, or pop os for your older computer instead of jumping to windows 11. Also regardless of windows 10 or 11 prices you will still get Ads in Windows 😂 #linux#privacy#security Choose wisely
To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

ThinkPad + Fedora is a killer combo, and it couldn't get any easier than having Fedora installed right out of the box.
You can get the latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Fedora Workstation straight from Lenovo! Buying in this way communicates to Lenovo that there is demand, so it helps a ton.
Thanks to your initial feedback, these include improvements like:
🗓️ Easier access to Proton Calendar
⏩ Easy migration from #Gmail
🚨 Notification badges
🔠 Improved accessibility and font support
This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.
