On 4 June the Tribunal judiciaire de Caen ordered Carrefour to fix carrefour.fr within six months. Their defence was that they already met 71% of RGAA criteria. The judge said a site cannot be only somewhat accessible.
I build a tool that shows you a conformance percentage. That ruling made me think hard about what a score is for, and what it can never be.
Also: WebAIM found the web got measurably worse this year.

Behold! @ChanceyFleet and I are introducing BopQuest, the new word search feature for WordBopper!
Every month will bring a new themed set of words that you must find during any game mode. Each one found adds to your overall WordBopper ranking, and if you find them all by the end of the month, you'll get a bonus of as many rank points as there are words in the list!
So Bop to it, your quest awaits! #Blind #A11y https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wordbopper/id6766375951

linux is so good, i had to use windows for a bit and wow linux is so good, why aren't people using linux? it's so good, don't they know windows is bad?
yk i'm really tired of having this shit boosted onto my tl and if you're doing it you're getting muted. for the last time:
i want to use Linux. i cannot use Linux the way i can use Windows, because the accessibility is a mess. because i don't get the functionality from Linux that i get from Windows, i use Windows. whenever i bring this up, i'm told "that sucks, good thing it's open source, you should fix it".i am so sick of having the same conversation over and over again and i'm running out of patience for this crap. please try to actually care about disabled people. if you can't help materially, you can help by remembering we're still in the room when you go to make the same godsdamn noise for the trillionth time.

This is based on a document I wrote several years ago, a proposal to standardise test acceptance criteria for our quality assurance process.
I deliberately avoided any reference to WCAG guidelines or success criteria – instead, I chose to keep the focus on the user experience, what they should be able to perceive, understand, and do, in that scenario.
Perhaps someone can make use of it.

Your website may work perfectly for you. But that proves almost nothing👀
You know where to click, what things look like, and how they’re supposed to work. Your users may experience it differently.
Try navigating without the tools you normally rely on. You might uncover an accessibility barrier hiding in plain sight.👉 Try it on your Website: https://www.accesstive.com/free-accessibility-checker/

AI-Generated Images, Screen Readers, and WCAG:
A seemingly simple label like “AI-generated image” becomes an accessibility issue. This is because alt text, link text, and information about an image’s origin serve different functions. #A11y #AI #AIAct #accessibility -
So Google showed off a new feature on their Android keyboard where you can use ASL for dictation. On paper it seems very useful, but when I stopped to think about it it didn't make much sense to me.
Voice dictation has advantages over typing in that it's faster (albeit with less control over the exact transcribed text), and can be done with one hand or sometimes even hands free without looking at the screen. Meanwhile the new ASL dictation is still faster with less control, but seemingly requires three hands (one of them can be a mount) and to look at the screen while you use both hands for signing. In what situations would this be better than typing?
Can I get any thoughts on this from any deaf/mute people? Or even from hearing/voiced people who use voice dictation, as I almost never use that feature. It's entirely possible I missed something, but my current analysis is that it's yet another flashy yet ultimately useless feature.

@kaveinthran The only problem is that I've seen controversy around apps using their API in the last few years, unless this has calmed down quite a bit since? That would worry me about anyone maintaining a #Reddit app. #accessibility #a11y #blind
