Girl on the NetToday I broke an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> feature on my site, and turned off <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audio</a> for UK users. Everyone else can listen as usual. UK users cannot. You can still read the text. But you can't hear the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> version. This is the Online Safety Act: <a href="https://www.girlonthenet.com/osa/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.girlonthenet.com/osa/</a>Pls share

When last I checked I couldn't enter my birthday in it. Ah well.

James ScholesDecided to sign up for <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Codeberg</a>, the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a> alternative that the Fediverse at large is insisting is worth a try and, in some cases, claiming will improve project contributions by avoiding some of the GH antipatterns. I expected to find some <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> issues; this is the modern web, after all.I did not expect a fully inaccessible visual CAPTCHA with no workarounds. I'm unable to solve it, so I cannot create an account.In short: If you want people who are <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blind</a> or <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/lowVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lowVision</a> to contribute to your projects (you do, right?), Codeberg is currently not an <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> platform.

Samuel ProulxAnother random thing that made me happy tonight: I discovered that at some point <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/wordweb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordweb</a> added a feature to disable linking of words in addon dictionaries. That makes reading definitions with a <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/screenreader" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenreader</a> much faster. It's a bit expensive, but if you frequently find yourself resorting to Google, or even worse <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/AI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>, to define words for you, it's worth the money and is largely <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> as well: <a href="https://wordweb.info/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wordweb.info/</a> <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/a11y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Samuel ProulxMy first thought man, we're so spoiled on Mastodon. There are like four <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> web apps, multiple accessible IOS and Android apps, at least two accessible Windows apps (even if they both have some issues), and a couple accessible mac apps. As <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/screenreader" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenreader</a> users we can actually choose the one we like, rather than picking the one where the largest number of features actually work with a screen reader. My Second Thought Man, this should just be the default state of existence. <a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/Blind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blind</a> folks need to demand more. But I get it, it's so easy to just accept the current state of accessibility as normal, and then be surprised by things that actually work.

Chris CAmos Miller of Glidance released a new amazing video showing the capability of Glide, the mobility tool that he has created. If you have not seen this new video, and by the way it is described, then I highly encourage you to check it out... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8ofapGxX0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8ofapGxX0</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blind</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mobility</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AmosMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmosMiller</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Glidance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glidance</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Glide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glide</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessible</a>

Justin EkisLooks like my networking course this semester is going to be using Cisco Packet Tracer. Anyone know how <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> it is with a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenreader</a>? I heard that it wasn't at all, but that was 13 years ago. Hopefully it has improved. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Jaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jaws</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/JFW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JFW</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NVDASR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVDASR</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a>

pablolarah🔵 The Nonvisual Website by Angelika Cathor <a href="https://mas.to/@angelikatyborska" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@angelikatyborska</a> There's a treasure hidden somewhere on this website. But there is a catch.The content of this website is only <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> with a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenreader</a> <a href="https://nonvisualwebsite.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nonvisualwebsite.com/</a>

Samuel ProulxSo I've finally been driven off of Microsoft edge and on to <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/firefox" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>. The <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/a11y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> work that's been done over the last few years really shows; it flies with <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/nvda" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVDA</a> on my system. Also, syncing of tabs works better than on either Edge or Safari, and my tabs from other devices are actually in a reasonable place where I can find them. However, I really, really miss the automatic generation of <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/alttext" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a> that both Edge and Chrome have built-in. I know Firefox was going to make that a thing, but I believe the disgusting shrieking of folks against <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/ai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> even for <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/accessibility" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> killed it. I do wish it was an addon, at least. There are a couple pages where I still need to go back to Edge to use them because the image links aren't labeled. Not using them isn't an option; bills gotta get paid. I also had to turn off all of the tracking protection stuff to get HCaptcha to work. Sadly, in a battle between privacy and accessibility, for me, accessibility *has* to win every time. While I'm enjoying the speed and slightly better access to certain parts of pages, I couldn't recommend it to average <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/blind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blind</a> users at this point. You have to change random settings to get some things to be <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.interfree.ca/tag/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a>, and you have to use another browser whenever alt-text is missing.

Jonathan Van Zanten :mastodon:<a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X</a>'s implementation of its latest <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moderation</a> decision, to include the term "c*sgender" in their (undoubtedly rancid) collection of swears, curses, and other nasty words, is IMO warranted, as we shouldn't allow the gradual outing of normal persons from an evermore hostile internet.The main proponents of a successful internet should be its moderation tools. While a manually maintained list is sufficient for most usecases, with the growth and ever increasing need of an <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> internet, we should also look for inclusion of hateful terms identified by automatic tools, such as sentence sentiment analysis, methinks.

Chris CI received my new Capital One credit card today that I had to activate before I could use it. Never saw this type of activation, but it was pretty cool. All I had to do is open the app, tap on activate new card, It said, put phone next to new card so I did, my phone vibrated and it was done. It looks like it uses the NFC chip in the card to connect to the phone through the app and activate. A quick, easy, and most importantly, accessible process! 👍, <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/CapitalOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapitalOne</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Credit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Credit</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Card" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Card</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Activation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Activation</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPhone</a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessible</a>

aœWelcome „Well-Tagged PDF“How to create a reusable and accessible PDF? Even today not a simple task.

Michael DoiseSo I’ve been really enjoying the <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordPress</a> Full Site Editor, but I think I'm going back to GeneratePress. FSE themes are cool, and <a href="https://techopolis.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a>, but they just don't have the customization options that I'd expect, a theme to have. This is especially true for the nav menus.

DisHere is today's reminder that <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/Discord" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discord</a> is NOT a forum! <a href="https://infosec.town/@turingpi@mastodon.social" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@turingpi@mastodon.social</a> I'm looking at you. (Nice to see you here though!) Discord is directly hostile to <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/opensource" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> users. It is not <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> It is not archived. It does not allow anonymous viewing. It is not searchable, and neither is it indexed by external search engines. Data is walled in and unexportable. Bonus round: Chat is also NOT a forum! Chat is a chronological firehose, good for temporally transient information, largely ungrouped. Forums are a topical tree, good for longer-lasting information grouped by subject. If you would write it down in real life (including email) then use a forum. If you would only say it out loud (in the hallway or on a call) then chat is perfectly fine. And if you say it out loud while someone else writes it down, tell your assistant to use a forum. <a href="https://turingpi.com/tpi-case-current-status/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://turingpi.com/tpi-case-current-status/</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/turingpi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turingpi</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/turingpi2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turingpi2</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/rk1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rk1</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/raspberrypi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#raspberrypi</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/snarkhome" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snarkhome</a> <a href="https://infosec.town/tags/oss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oss</a>

🕳️🐇"To ensure that art becomes the property of the people, instead of the preserve of a few gifted people and those who can afford these creations, the emergence of popular and <a href="https://fireplace.cafe/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a> forms of art must be encouraged. Cultural groups at the <a href="https://fireplace.cafe/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> level must also be organized so that art can be use for the people’s own purposes (i.e. as a means of understanding and recording their own lives and as a way of expressing their own thoughts, feelings and aspirations)."
