Is it a new thing that macOS "find and select text in images" also makes that text available… for the VoiceOver screen reader. That’s an #accessibility feature right, not a bug? Spotted on the @wagtail homepage video: wagtail.org

Just signed up to Community Notes after hearing Andy Kitchen and Laura Summers at #EuroPython. Understanding those algorithms is crucial for our society, we badly need those talks in the #Python community 💚

A few people have asked how I do my events’ carbon footprint calculations for #Python conferences. It’s tons of work - but if you want to get started Green Events Tool by the UN is pretty great 👉️ greeneventstool.com Looks something like this for flights in basic mode

👀 reviewing which versions of @djangoproject.com to support with @wagtail.org. I didn’t expect Django 3.2 still has as much usage as 5.0!

It’s crazy how much misuse of aria-label there is out there! At least one in three uses have #accessibility problems :(
This is @wagtail.org sites only. Nothing new here but perhaps the internet does need yet another aria-label blog post 🤔

Ever see maps like this and wonder why appears such more, much bigger in Alaska? Turns out it’s just misleading binning.
Today’s map: Python docs visitors. If you look at the actual data, there’s more #Python going on in Europe (and other regions) than the US
