2024 was a nice year for #opensource contributions in my side
Improvement of l10n / i18n for @IceCubesApp @impressia and also for Tella, Monal, #OsmAnd and Strongbox #iOS apps.
Some #a11y guidelines on a11y-guidelines.orange.com have been updated.
I was mainly focused that year on the two design systems of #Orange, with the last one taking a lot of my time (https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/ouds-ios).
Not that bad in the end
GrapheneOS: Where Licenses Matter More Than People
GrapheneOS could have shipped real accessibility support. They had a screen reader. They had a libre speech engine — one they requested a feature from. They got that feature.
And then they said no.
Because the license was GPLv3.
They’ll ship sandboxed Google Play Services.
They’ll let you install GPLv3 software from their app store.
But a working screen reader for blind users?
Blocked. On principle.
This isn’t a technical limitation.
This is not a matter of priorities.
This is cruelty by ideology — and they’re proud of it.
So here it is. My full public dissection of the excuses, the hypocrisy, and the sheer contempt they’ve shown to the people who need privacy and security most: the disabled.
They chose licensing purity over basic humanity.
I chose to write this.

If your app supports multiple languages you can test it on device in another language without changing your entire device's language with a per app setting.
It even works with widgets!
This is not the case with some per-app accessibility settings, which I did open feedback about.
