Disappointing that academic journals still convert vector graphics to low-quality figures.
- Our accepted manuscript contains only vector graphics
- We shared our original vector files during final submission + proofing
Yet the final typeset version contains this fuzzy mess. 
Alrighty. Several hours later, and I have Tarrant County's updated early voting locations :D

Actual location info from county (can match up the numbers on the map to addresses): https://www.tarrantcountytx.gov/content/dam/main/elections/2025/0525/locations/0525_EV_Sched.pdf

So far, I only have locations that serve (at least) as early voting centers. There are several more pages of day-of voting centers that I could conceivably add. I'm debating building a small, static, mobile website with #Leaflet to perhaps make a "show me my closest voting station" feature, and maybe a "schedule my voting time" feature that spits out an ical file or something. The opening hours are all there in the OSM data.
(Annoying sidenote: most college/university locations are either early vote only, election day only, or not open at all :()
I recently developed a thing to turn a Conversations chat* into a PDF.
https://codeberg.org/moji/typst-conversations
That story began with a friend of mine that had got a XMPP group chat where they shared updates and pictures of their latest travel adventure. Now chat is rather ephemeral and they wanted to preserve those memories in an easy accessible format that is PDF. And so I put something together.
* actually any chat as long as you can get the raw data in the expected format
Das ist ernüchternd. Nur gut 4 Prozent der PDF-Dokumente sind umfassend barrierefrei.

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community! 
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance!

Just learned today that #PDF has its own association: https://pdfa.org/news/
Anybody know more about this? Like: How deep is Acrobat still involved? Is this a good association bringing more freedom to the format or a bad on, just acting as a shell for bad company influence? And so on.
