I wonder if it's worthwhile to create Rust bindings for Prism or create a completely separate Rust-based crate for the functionality that Prism provides. I need to dig into it to see whether any of the functionality is a duplicate of AccessKit. I also need to find out whether something like this has been done before. I don't want to nor need to duplicate the effort.
Any recs or suggestions?

I feel this so much. A great read from @eric on the conundrum designers are feeling right now related to AI. Specifically on how it relates to accessibility.

Angry hot take: If you are an expensive "accessibility professional", and the reports you're generating and sending to your clients are inaccessible, you should just get a new job. There is no hope for you. I've encountered that three times, from three different people, this month. WTF? #a11y #accessibility -

Accessibility Planning Creates Direction. Execution Drives Compliance. | Title2.info | By Mike Calvo, CEO and Co-Founder, Pneuma Solutions | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://title2.info/planning-creates-direction-execution-drives-compliance/As public entities race toward the ADA Title II deadline, Calvo argues the hardest part isn't spotting barriers, it's deciding what to fix first. Plans don't create compliance; they create clarity that drives real access.

https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-07-01-2026/Host Donna J. Jodhan asks how accessible online learning really is, pointing beyond exams to registration forms and learning platforms that shut out blind, low-vision, and cognitively disabled users. Plus her 'mental stretch' relaxation technique.

Disappointed but not surprised by Discord. Their customer service is hands down the worst ever – you literally talk to walls of bots.
Worse, they are actively banning accounts that use their own built-in accessibility features (hCaptcha). My friends and I experienced this firsthand. Zero support, zero care.
Consider this a warning if you rely on accessibility tools. 🚩 Hope AI will never completely replace real people, if it does, the world will become a frightening and cold place.

Mieux comprendre les troubles du neuro-développement (TND) : autisme, troubles dys, TDAH, TDI.
France Université Numérique propose un MOOC pour déconstruire les idées reçues et comprendre les impacts des TND au quotidien.
La prochaine session aura lieu le 7/09 : https://a42.fr/mooc-tnd
Note : la plateforme n'est pas conforme au RGAA, malgré un effort notable fait sur les vidéos et infographies interactives (sous-titres, transcription FALC, alternatives textuelles).

Big update to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’: the PDFs are now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).
A #TaggedPDF contains hidden extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc., including alt text for diagrams+images (in the case of ‘F&N’, 552 pieces of alt text were required, some quite lengthy).
The new version is available (#OpenAccess as always) at: https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large
Feedback from users of screen readers would be very welcome!
Creating this version has been possible because of the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/] (thank you to the LaTeX team and other contributors!). I have been adapting my own #LuaLaTeX styles [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos] to use the new interfaces.

The single most valuable prompting trick in my whole book is also the simplest:
Tell the AI you are blind, and tell it how that should change the answer.
"I use a screen reader, skip the visual layout, give me the steps as plain text." Watch everything get better.
No Sight Required.

❕ Ein Alt-Text, ein so genannter «Alternative Text» bei Bildern ist wichtig, gerade im Fediverse ...
🖼️ Alt-Text? Alt-Texte beschreiben kurz und knapp in Worten, was im Bild zu sehen ist. So können alle Menschen und Maschinen verstehen, was im Bild gezeigt wird, auch ohne dass sie das Bild tatsächlich «sehen».

Markiere den Bot einfach in einem Kommentar unter deinem Bild, um eine Bildbeschreibung als Kommentar zu erhalten oder abonniere den Bot, um bei all deinen veröffentlichten Bildern eine Bildbeschreibung als Kommentar zu erhalten.

Wrote to Ko-fi about many accessibility improvements they could make, like labeling buttons and edit fields so one can have an easier time donating to folks, and they replied with, Thank you! We are a very small team and don't have a lot of development resources but we care very deeply about the accessibility of our services. We have taken your feedback into consideration and it's on the roadmap. I've heard that kind of reply so many times I think it's a template at this point but if anyone else wants to, ahem, also say how important accessibility is, https://ko-fi.com/ #Accessibility #A11y
