Here's my latest update on Newton, the -native, -friendly project for the modern ecosystem, developed as part of @gnome and funded by @sovtechfund. It's not ready for production yet, but this blog post includes a demo video and links to GNOME OS and Flatpak runtime builds you can try. As a bonus, because I'm integrating into , GTK apps will finally have on Windows and macOS. https://blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/18/update-on-newton-the-wayland-native-accessibility-project/

Listened to latest podcast ep from @notjustbikes and today this is in the headlines

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/elizabeth-line-ealing-broadway-bbc-transport-for-london-b1163562.html

"Two travellers have complained they have suffered serious injuries trying to step off the train at Ealing Broadway"

Another (unfortunate) data point for Level Boarding on railways. https://www.levelboarding.org.uk/

@dsc @notjustbikes Hilariously the problem is because of them doing level boarding at Heathrow and in the core on the cheap, those platforms and therefore the trains are 1100mm tall rather than the standard 915mm. Ealing Broadway and the stations West of it can't have their platforms raised to that height because of passing freight.

@mark Yes, that is part of what the podcast he's referring to was about!

/ / / folks, plz compare:

In your experience, would the wigglier situation shown in the 2nd video distract, overstimulate or bother you in a way that constitutes an issue?

Polling for statistical sample size, to either confirm or invalidate my hunch at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/1493#note_2123778

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!

How does KDE measure energy consumption and the #accessibility of its apps?

Pradyot Ranjan explains with a quick 4-video primer on Selenium AT-SPI, a tool used to automate tests of GUI applications.
