Hi Drew You really hit it out of the park with your latest post. Certainly made my recent efforts look like childish scribbling by comparison..But you left a key consequence of the problem implied but not stated. That is in the free software world, our failure of imagination on accessibility leads the very people who could improve the situations you identified to be excluded from our communities in practice.You always say `do what your interested in`, And solving accessibility problems created for me by the rest of the FOSS community seems to be my interest, one of the major ones anyway. I might write a blog post on this myself. But I just thought i'd mention it to you first

Hi All: I'm Matt Arnold, I'm an all around Linux/open source nerd. I write about, well lately the intersection of open source computing and disability. Discovered Drew at the beginning of the pandemic Blog: https://piusbird.space/wordpress RSS: https://piusbird.space/wordpress/feed /Matt PS: I also have a draft of a post on bipolar disorder up. It's password protected but anyone wanting to offer feedback can just shoot me a message. It goes up publicly Tuesday come hell or high water

So: Working late, one last thing before I go to bed, I've just done a couple of things. First I used git-send-email for the first time. I like how that worked so in future I will use it. But I have made one final changeset without going through the new process. 1. Update Version number to 0.3.6, We will probably drop the 0 when we get to 0.4 2. Make the whole mess posix compliant, really only required three changes 3. Ran the whole thing through a formater Now that i see the difference in this vs git send-email i will probably continue to make unilateral changes and announcing them to

Hi: So this is now a thing. I choose to see the fact that i created a mailing list, and the used it to send a patch to myself as not a bad thing but a good thing. After all, if I want to contribute to making a better linux environment for all disabled users, my own projects have to be run as well as possible. Anyway, This here patchset is five patches. It continues the cleanup work I have been doing, Primarily by deleting things, but it also adds a Makefile for colorize-pipe, and fixes that pesky gtk warning. It also renames my config file to end in .matt so the user can't get my settings by accident now.

Hello: I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug or something, but. In Gemini all the links are buttons. This looks cool but the text of the link can't be copied to the clipboard. Which leads to some accessibility challenges for me. As my solution to a rare visual impairment relies on copying text to the clipboard can there be an option to style links, more like weblinks, instead of buttons I'm sorry i don't have a patch but i haven't played with Rust in three years or so. Thanks /Matt
