@GreenSkyOverMe @kc Das ganze Ökosystem ist nicht barrierefrei. Text umlaufen lassen wird kaum unterstützt, selbst wenn das Dokument entsprechend aufbereitet ist. Das ändern von Schriftarten und -Größen ist nicht so möglich, dass die Dokumente nutzbar bleiben.

Having a 3D printer in your office is a bad idea, right? Asking for a friend who’s has just seen this video: https://youtu.be/EfEYpGZqQw4

@aardrian I mean, I would, but I already said this in January 2019 😜 https://yatil.net/blog/much-ado-about-no-lists

Apart from creating custom UI elements, you shouldn’t need to use the role attribute at all.

@aral I use Cascadea and it works well, however, its last update was 2 years ago and I just hope that it never breaks.

Nothing to see here, just correcting the German Reviewers for Accessibility that yes, lists with one item are indeed lists and that they don’t indeed make it absurd and interfere a lot with screen reader users. (German, links to LinkedIn)

(Of course, don’t just put willy-nilly lists with one items into texts.)

Ah! What’s more refreshing than waking up at 7am on a Saturday from the neighbors wood smoke? So disgusting.

I admire Zeldman a lot. He did and does a lot of good for the web and took risks, not at least with his event and publishing business. And I kinda wished he got out of WP, because this feels like an abusive power play here. Letting go of 10% of your staff for a personal vendetta and expecting the remaining employees to clean up the mess is just lazy leadership. You deserve better, Jeffrey.

@Codeschubse Klingt nach Körperverletzung.

Gute Besserung.

Here’s someone already dreaming up WCAG 3.1. WTF? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/understanding-apca-wcag-31-new-era-color-contrast-digital-boiano-itmyf

Without further comment, the author has dropped this link as a response to my comment: https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/meaning.html

Yes, that is the old WCAG 2.0 Understanding for WCAG Guideline 3.1. Which has nothing to do with WCAG 3. And nothing with color contrasts. *sigh*

@tagesschau Ich bin froh, dass Merz einsieht, dass sein Anbiedern an die Rechten sich nicht ausgezahlt hat und nur eine humanitäre Flüchtlingspolitik funktioniert. So viel Einsicht hatte ich ihm gar nicht zugetraut.

TIL captions make deaf or hard of hearing people hear.

The educational value of these “in brief” sections is bad. The goal is not that “videos can be played with captions”, it’s ensuring audio-only content can be perceived by deaf/HoH people. Why does it say “synchronized text”? What is “existing videos”? Why should non-existing videos have captions? And it’s important because people who are deaf/HoH need to be able to perceive content only available as audio.

#MyGriefWithInBrief

It should be something like:

**In Brief:** To enable deaf and hard of hearing folks to perceive information only available in audio, provide captions that are in sync with the video’s audio.

“The here is no way that iOS deregulation could lead to strengthen the Chrome monopoly, Eric.”

Once Chrome gets their engine on iOS, it will use marketing to squash the little competition they had in Europe. It’s inevitable.

@RSBurr @eniko It does!

I’m very concerned about all the accessibility projects run by single people, really small teams, or full-on volunteers. They will eventually go away and there is often no (good) replacement. So many have closed recently or are about to close: Parallels podcast, AppleVis, EOWG.

It’s a whole community that is lost. Can’t fault the individuals, but it’s unfortunate that we have not created sustainable spaces yet.

“You know what will help us defend the US from fully submerging fascism? Infighting.” – Democrats

Get your effing act together and fight. The other side is able to do it, they’ll fight over the burning ashes of your democracy once it’s abolished.

@gvlx @aral #JustBeNice, really? Because we know that people in power always happily change their ways when you are “just nice”. Because nobody asked nicely when the regression happened almost a decade ago? Because people whose human rights are violated are supposed to “just ask nicely”.

In what world does that work? It’s on the OS projects to lobby for the resources they need to make a functioning product.

@soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz This might be shocking, but deprioritizing the needs of disabled users over mainstream features is the definition of ableism. This is not a breaking change in a minor version that is quickly fixed, it’s years of excluding people. It’s the result of a systematic ableist process in an ableist world, carried out by people with (probably, hopefully) unconscious biases of exclusion.

@aral is right to call it out.
