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.

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.
@tagesschau Immunität für Politiker ist richtig und wichtig, das sollten wir aus unserer Geschichte gelernt haben. Es gibt keinen Zweifel, dass die Immunität bei nächster Gelegenheit aufgehoben wird.
If your pitch is “X but accessible” you’re building features. That’s cool, but maybe you don’t need to build the X part.
Use an API to get the information from the less accessible places, provide an alternative UI that is easy to use. Help to make the content accessible where people go now instead of making a third place “for people with accessibility needs”.
To make “X but accessible” succeed, you need to be the best “X” compared existing solutions, which is almost impossible. Zoom did it.
Love that we here in Germany are basically prohibited from getting vaccinations, even voluntarily, unless we meet certain condition – mostly age and existing illness.
“You first have to get LongCOVID before we allow you vaccinations to avoid the thing you got” is bad policy. https://zirk.us/@AlexKourvo/112469763159775160
I sat by a small, human made lake this weekend.
@kc Sehr cool!
NASA programmers: ”We distributed the program from the broken chip into different parts of Voyager and changed all the references to ensure that it all keeps working. We had one attempt at this.”
Web developers: “How am I supposed to remember to label my buttons and style focus states?? It’s just too hard!”
(Sorry, could not resist. 😂 I recognize the systematic problems around the education of web developers that are often trained to be one-trick ponies where the trick is a framework.)
If your links to WCAG Techniques or Understanding have a /TR/ in it, they are outdated, probably many, many, many years.
There are no redirects.
Outdated: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G83.html
Current: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/general/G83
(That said, notes were better marked in the old one. Someone should really take a look at this.)
IAAP wants disabled people, including photographers, to do work for free. And not even just for the course, the license is CC-Zero or CC-By which allows anyone to do anything with it.
IAAP charges for these courses. Do not submit your photos. Everyone, but especially people who are disadvantaged, have the right for fair and just compensation. Outrageous!
Awesome, the neighboring state has cell broadcasting test day and because we don’t live in that state (but only a few kilometers away), I did not expect it at all.
That’s so scary!
@mia @matuzo User styles are great, but being able to say “never use font sizes smaller than 12px” is a killer feature for me. I wished other browsers had settings like that (and that these settings would expand: “Never use low contrast colors” and so on).
I would not be surprised if the exact demands towards the regulation was unclear and lawyers included PWAs just to be sure. Removing them so publicly might have been a way to get the regulators to say “we don’t consider PWAs as part of the browser” or “we give you a longer deadline”.
Testing out the edges of regulation is a weird fascination for me, so I would have loved to be in the room 😅

Yeah, sure gonna trust your conference where, according to the generated image, the “Registrratiion Open”.
I’m so tired of people not caring about their own stuff and making it mediocre by having half-assed “AI” involved.
So, this is why I don’t like people trying to “simplify” WCAG. Stark did it and I only looked at its 1.1.1 Non-Text Content page.
Several notes:
1. I don’t think this is much clearer than 1.1.1 itself. There is more fluff, but I don’t think it’s super useful
2. It calls the Success Criterion “Guideline” under the “What:” heading
3. It names transcripts/captions, which are only tangential to the SC at hand
4. No info that decorative images must be ignored
