@Yuki welcome to the fedi! This is the only place where #accessability for the visually-impared seems to be a regular, so many graphics shared here have alternative text that can be read by screen readers and other TTS tools.

Question: How does this affect the #accessability of a website? For example, will text-to-speech software still read the "proper" text?

Another day, and another migraine from an indie game that had a sudden extreme flashing sequece...now, say it with me once more:

FLASHING VISUALS ARE NOT SCARY, THEY ARE JUST HARD TO SEE AND CAUSE MIGRAINES, AND SEIZURES.

Gamedevs, seriously it is not hard to not have them in your games and expand your player base by avoiding them.

Also if you have them - MAKE A BIG FUCKING WARNING IN THE BEGINNING!

Weil die Signal-App ständig von sich aus ohne Notwendigkeit nach dem 64-stelligen Wiederherdtellungsschlüssel für das Backup fragt mit der Begründung: "Damit du den 64-stelligen Wiederherstellungsschlüssel nicht vergisst, fragen wir dich ab und zu danach" und weil man diese sinnlose Abfragerei nicht abstellen kann, kann meine demente Mutter nun leider die Signal-App nicht mehr nutzen, weil der Abfrage-Dialog bei jedem Öffnen der App erscheint und sie irritiert.

@skillstopractice I've maintained a collection of the stuff I've done over on my site at https://ddr0.ca/gallery. The one I use the most is the multiplayer dice roller (https://ddr0.ca/🎲); it's the only one my DnD group has found that supports screen readers well. (Digital DnD stuff generally has atrocious accessibility.) There's a few games on that page too you can play!

Hello fedi,

I am still interested in trying to make tables in geminispace that are accessible to blind users.

The trouble is that gemini's native markup format, gemtext, does not have tables.

Gemtext does have preformatted text blocks, so I tried making tables by manually lining up text.

Header    Also a header

Good news: We (me and my partner) will get new glasses covered by KELA so my migraines should reduce a bit more. (: Shame we can't afford the color-shade things on them to reduce how flashing lights and bright conditions screw with eyeballs, but at least seeing better will be excellent.

Neurologist also couldn't write a statement to get them, which is an accessability fail in my opinion.

Is there a way to select the highest contrast rating between two colours based on a third colour using entirely HTML+CSS?

My specific use case is to select white or black foreground text based off a varying background colour.

JavaScript is not what I'm looking for here. And my familiarity with CSS has so far been dealing with transformations, and everything that was in CSS2 (I'm feeling old writing that). #wcag #accessability #lazyWeb

Does anyone know if it possible to reduce/remove the AGGRESSIVE flashing lights in the game "Crisol Theatre of Idols"??

I would want to buy it, as it seems to be exactly what I love in games (asthetically, combat looks cool, UI is beautiful, and I am here for the lore) - but I just checked gameplay of it and it has insane flashing in cutscenes. This is the only big obstacle I have for it. )*:

AdGuard has declined to change the default coloration of icons in the "App Management" tab of AdGuard for Windows, despite accessibility concerns.
However, AdGuard has said they plan to introduce a high contrast theme some time in the future.

I've used a mobility scooter a few times in my area and it really does hit you how annoying it is to ride off a kerb only to find there's not a drop the other side and you're stuck in a road at a height many won't see. Also people just standing in the middle of a path not noticing you and chatting away (twice on a 20 minute journey tesr both happened today)

Dandelion Sprout has raised a valid accessibility issue with AdGuard for Windows.
In the "app management" tab, the options for each app are shown through small icons. If something is on, it is light green. If it is off, it is light grey. There is no other distinction on this page.
Even as someone who isn't colorblind and has ok vision (and an ok monitor), the two look way to close.

👋 Hello Canadian 🇨🇦 Fediverse
Needing 🦽 Advice Please 👋

I would very much appreciate recommendations for companies/sources for a manual wheelchair for a disabled senior. ♿
The person using it is Not capable of maneuvering an electric one -and they are Not allowed for use at the retirement home-and one arm is too weak to push himself using a manual wheelchair, so it's up to me, a senior to assist, therefore, it needs to be lightweight but sturdy enough for going over curbs and sidewalks, along country roads without a sidewalk, and to be safely anchored to a bus floor. (I do not want a 'transport' wheelchair --too flimsy)
Thanks for your guidance.🙂

Boosts welcomed

Hier eines der @c3tactile Schilder vom #39c3 die in der #Freakshow erwähnt wurden.

Die gestickten Kartenpläne und alle Brailleschilder sind unglaublich wichtige Tools, die unsere #accessability auf #Chaos Events erhöhen. 🚀

Danke an alle die mitgeholfen haben! 👏

Using the heading styles has several benefits:

• That text is formatted like a heading.

• Heading tagged for screen readers.
