I am either making friends or enemies with subject librarians at my university this week by requesting many purchases of books about queer and disabled community building/intimacy/materiality and arts.

Just rewatched Sweden’s Eurovision entry, which has a lot of strobing lights and flashing with i(Pad)OS’ Dim Flashing Lights setting turned on. It’s very interesting how this setting can compensate somewhat for the flashing but also clearly misses the mark sometimes.

(And of course it would be better if there were no strobing lights or flashes in the first place.)

I just made my first pull request to the @revenuecat code tree. 😳

That's something I didn't realize you could do until yesterday when @thillsman told me.

I spotted a (small) accessibility issue yesterday when I was testing my new RevenueCat paywall with VoiceOver.

bubble,

I'm looking for benchmarks.
For @mucConf we want to provide accessibility information online.
Please send me links to events/conferences that did a good job communicating accessibility information!

I, for one, am curious how allowing tables (et al) in <option> is going to work when the issue discussing it is deferring #accessibility to another issue — in which none of them are participating.

The Stack Overflow / OpenAI news does not alarm me too much. There is lots of bad information there. I did a talk on it.

Twice:

https://adrianroselli.com/2018/03/csun-2018-everything-i-know-about-accessibility-i-learned-from-stack-overflow.html

Essentially OpenAI is slurping more crap info so it can regurgitate more crap info. Which, frankly, is kind of its entire value proposition.

Looking for TalkBack bug confirmation before I file an issue. Test page:
https://cdpn.io/pen/debug/ExzxwxW

TalkBack does not expose the contents of the tabpanel in the first example (“Auto Tab Panel sans Interactive Child”). Looking for confirmation from another Chrome 124 / TalkBack 14.2 / Android user. Or prior experience.

Until JAWS (and TalkBack) fixes its heading level bug and unless Microsoft removes its heading level limit in Windows, heading depth will continue to have a limit.

This may become more obvious if headinglevelstart ever lands.

Granted, most content doesn’t (shouldn’t) need more than 6 levels, so it would (should) be an edge case.

Thinking back to that time when WCAG 2.2 first went to review and French company , best known for its SLAPPs, asked to get a side-door added to WCAG for overlays:

And a reminder that if you run out of spoons or struggle with describing an image, the "Alt4Me" hashtag also exists.

You don’t have to be caught up in the Drake / Kendrick Lamar drama to know there are better memes to use than that Drake one.

Which you can customize:

As part of your larger effort at more accessible memes:

I know there are some fediverse apps with features that make adding alt text easier, some using image detection, etc. Can anyone point me to any write-ups on these?
