Erkenntnis des Morgens: ich scheine nur ein paar Hundert Meter von Volker Wissing entfernt zu wohnen.

Da gibt es einen schlauen und differenzierten politischen Kommentar speziell zu den Grünen und dem Wahlverhalten der Mehrheit, den ich gerne teilen würde, leider trieft er vor plumpen ableistischen Begriffen. #TheCostOfBeingWoke ?

@yatil Ah, also auch jemand, der sich die neue Folge um Mitternacht herum gibt. IMHO beste Episode der Staffel und ein weiterer Beweis, dass Moffat am Ehesten in Einzelepisoden in einer RTD-Ära funktioniert. Noch dazu unglaublich gute Performances von Gatwa und Gibson.

Folks, attribute names such as "aria-placeholder" and "aria-role" do not exist! In case they aren't custom attributes, I have to reiterate once more: Pretty please only use anything ARIA when you know what you're doing. These specific examples may cause no harm, but likely show a wider universe of misunderstandings and ARIA overestimation

Ein üblicher Trick bei Overlay-Anbietern.

Auf der Marketingseite: Erfüllt WCAG, EN 301 549, BITV!

In den AGB dann: Kunde hat selbst für Konformität zu sorgen.

Den Kniff kennt man von mindestens einem internationalen Anbieter.

English context: A German overlay company does the typical stunt of putting in their terms of service that customers have to have a compliant page first, and legally weasels out of any responsibility.

Und natürlich werden auf einer Marketing-Unterseite namens "Rechtliches" die EU-Verordnungen 2016/2102 ("Web Accessibility Directive") und 2019/882 ("European Accessibility Act") zusammengeworfen bzw. verwechselt. Warum sich aber auch in dem Thema, in dem man scheinbar nur unethisch Geld verdienen will, mit Details beschäftigen?

"Instead of not being aware about the problematic approach the developer chose, they try to improve accessibility but – unbeknownst to them - create new barriers in the first place doing it." @marcus

@SaraSoueidan 🙏 Thanks for sharing (also on X, as I just saw)!

marcus,
@marcus@mastodon.social avatar

@SaraSoueidan @siblingpastry Yes, will edit and clarify

marcus,
@marcus@mastodon.social avatar

@SaraSoueidan @siblingpastry Changed it to " But what ARIA properties do not do is implement key event handlers or other functionality of this kind. Most of the time, it only announces an element as something,…"

@siblingpastry Yay! Looking forward to reading it!

I get the appeal of email newsletters. I really do.

But nothing gives me as much anxiety as sending out an email and then constantly obsessing about whether I made a typo or messed up a link, because I simply can't just edit it like I can with a post on my blog. 😭

marcus,
@marcus@mastodon.social avatar

@SaraSoueidan Yup, I'm being one of them, but can relate that the anxiety doesn't care about the number of recipients. Public, semi-public, the fear is always at 11.

No idea about the auto-responders. I guess big mail infrastructure providers "solved" this by filtering it out, rarely confront the author with it?

New blog post: "Best intention barriers (ARIA edition)"

In my experiences as an auditor (for WCAG and EN 301 549) I stumble over a large number of barriers. Heck, my job is to find and to help the website developer and owner to get rid of them to make their web project more inclusive and – in the truest sense of the word - accessible. But there is a certain type of barrier that are more, well, tragic than others.

@Kilian Here's a bookmarklet (2nd one in the list) that tries to visualize both in the browser's console by @jkphl. May be helpful or a starting point: https://tollwerk.github.io/a11y-bookmarklets/

@Kilian That reminds me that I still not know all of Polypane's features. Time for a "Checking each WCAG SC with Polypane" blog post? ;)

@Kilian @julezrulez Extremly valuable, thanks!
