  1. It's a really bad pattern to have a rollover on something that has no interaction, right? In this case, it's a value prop (heading + description) that moves up a few pixels and outlines, but there's no actual link/button/interactivity.

    Gonna push back on it, because this can't be good usability...right??

  10. Mudpie 0.1.3 is out for Mac.

    Mudpie is an accessibility-first MUD client built around VoiceOver from the ground up. This release focuses on making automation smarter and connections more reliable:

    - New VoiceOver auto-read mode: server lines can now go straight through native VoiceOver accessibility announcements instead of a separate speech engine, using whatever voice and rate you've already set up in VoiceOver Utility.
    - Two-axis gag control: triggers and scripts can hide a line from the screen while still speaking it, or speak a custom line while keeping the original text visible. Your call, independently, per trigger.
    - Auto-reconnect got a real retry strategy (exponential backoff, up to 30 minutes) instead of one silent attempt, and turning it on now also enables TCP keepalive so dead connections (dropped WiFi, sleep and wake, a NAT quietly giving up) get noticed in under a minute instead of hours.
    - Auto-repeat last command, paced @wait steps in alias expansions, per-call TTS overrides for scripts, plus fixes for a TTS crash on angle brackets and for macOS smart quotes mangling commands.

  15. The global beauty industry is worth hundreds of billions. Yet, it remains an inaccessible and non-inclusive market.

    Molly Burke, a blind Canadian public figure reflects on this in a recent TEDx talk.

    “If brands get it right by accident, imagine what they could do with intention… When we include disabled people from the start of design process, we make things that are better for everyone.”

  29. Also on 14 May for #BikeWeek, and something I've been campaigning about for years now:

    * #InclusiveCycling *

    For free gratis and for nothin', you can try adapted cycles, trishaws, wheelchair bikes! ❤️

    🗓️ Sunday, 14 May 2023
    ⏰ 12 noon to 3pm
    🌍 At the Phoenix Monument Roundabout, in the #PhoenixPark

    For many people (though not all), cycling is easier than walking.

    So, tell everyone you know, and head along!
