It's nice to see a company with a clear commitment to #opensource software (and democracy) be successful in the #publishing space. Congratulations to your 25th company anniversary, @letexml!
Normalerweise halte ich ja die politischen Themen aus diesem Account raus, aber da es gerade thematisch passt:
Schaut euch die Wahlliste der Europawahl mal in Ruhe an, da sind auch ein paar Parteien, die sich zu den Themen KI, Digitalisierung, Open Source Software und digitale Souveränität echt Gedanken gemacht haben.
Wählt also gerne "kleine" Parteien. Denkt dran, dass es keine 5% Hürde gibt und macht keine "Protestwahl".

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.
Next Tuesday I'll be part of a Fireside Chat alongside #useR2024 keynote Abhishek Ulayil on the topic of "Building foundations for R’s future as an accessible and diverse collaboration".

I got SO frustrated at one point at #amaze2024. There was a great panel about how we don't have control over the engines and tools we use. About how small, open source engines are the way to do that.
They lamented the closure of walled gardens like Flash (I fear for Dreams in a hopefully far future), and how much culture is lost to the whims of the market.
They mentioned the contradiction of user vs corporate interests. They mentioned open source as an example to follow.
I mentioned Pico-8 as an example. I LOVE the thing. And yet, isn't it susceptible to oblivion, being proprietary? Isn't it another walled garden that one day will close?
I guess those games published as HTML or binary will still be playable but how about the ones playable only through splore?
As long as we keep making games in proprietary walled gardens, those games, those engines, won't belong to us and could (and will) disappear.
