#accessbility — Public Fediverse posts

In Japan, people frequently say "Dangerous" while I walk with a white cane, yet in my entire life, I have rarely been in true danger. The few times I actually was, the warnings were polite and calm. I wish people would realize that saying "Dangerous!" is not a substitute for a genuine, helpful warning.

Olen niin iloinen näistä Mastodon 4.6:n saavutettavuusparannuksista :bananadance:

Siihen tulee mm. ALT-kuvailut profiili- ja otsikkokuvaan. Kontrastiparannuksia, parempi näppäimistönavigointi.

Yritän testata Hearing Buddy sovellusta iPhonessa.

Sovellus kysyy aluksi profilointiin liittyviä tietoja. Yksi kysymyksistä on puhelimen käyttäjän oma nimi. Normaalistihan oman nimen voi kirjoittaa näppäimistöllä. Tämä sovellus ei kuitenkaan anna sellaista mahdollisuutta ja kuurona on vähän nihkeetä sanoa oma nimi ääneen.

Ironisesti sovellus on suunniteltu huonokuuloisia ja kuuroja varten. Pitäisi siis olla hyvin puhuva kuuro. 💀

EDIT1: Mörisin jotain mikrofoniin ja nimi oli väärin. Mutta seuraavassa slidessä kysytään onko nimi ok ja voi uudestaan sanoa ääneen TAI kirjoittaa nimen. Ei sitten voinut edellisessä slidessä olla tätä "Type it" nappia. Joten, jos olet kuuro. Sano jotain ääntä muistuttavaa ja paina "jatka" ja korjaa sen jälkeen käsin nimesi oikein.

EDIT2: Suomi puuttuu kielilistalta. Kielivalikoima on todella pieni.

Funny, but also worrying at the same time - voices from the #lift are an #accessbility requirement so /should/ be correct/working, and if they are not it makes you wonder if #maintenance of the lift is being skimped on (and thats safety critical building #infrastructure!)

NFL will test a device for blind fans at 2026 Super Bowl

People who have limited vision or are completely blind will have a new way to enjoy the Super Bowl this year. The NFL has teamed with startup OneCourt to equip roughly 10 fans with a device that provides real-time tactile feedback that lets holders track the position of the ball on the field. The device, which also comes with headphones so blind fans can listen to the game call, will even use a series of different vibrations that will signal specific plays on-field.

Disabled people who want to work say they can’t due to a ‘chronically underfunded’ welfare system and accessibility issues | The Independent

Cutting benefits doesn't get disabled people into work it just gets us into poverty.

@stroughtonsmith I can see #accessbility trending on TikTok already

Pete Warden: How to caption videos in Javascript. “I’m excited to announce the public launch of MoonshineJS. This is an in-browser implementation of our lightweight speech to text models, and while you can do a lot of different things with the library, one of my favorite use cases is adding captions to videos.”

Anyone feel like listening to some music that's joyful, buoyant and upbeat as we head into the weekend? Here's PJ Sin Suela for @npr's Tiny Desk. The proud Puerto Rican rapper, doctor and author exudes enthusiasm and smiles, accompanied by vocalists, flute, piano, trumpet, tenor sax, guitar, bass and more. PJ is the first artist to incorporate a sign language interpreter (Alexssa Hernández) into a Tiny Desk show. We're sharing this link with everyone we know.

I see something that looks like tabs.
I think “surely these are implemented as ARIA tablist but reload the whole UI”.
I am right.

Stop using role="tablist" if your page reloads.

#ImNowAtTheAgeWhere I need to gently bump up the default font size on my computer and mobile phone. And yes, that's an #accessbility issue.

Being chronically ill at Christmas can be lonely. Many of us deal with feelings of guilt and are gaslit for not being able to participate in family traditions.

My article on how to find joy in the small things, how others can make the holidays accessible and a reminder that no one is alone:

My first week at the new job is almost over, and I finally have some time to share the exciting news:

I just started working as a research fellow at Technische Hochschule Köln! As an employee of both Cologne Game Lab and the Institute for Media Research and Media Education, I'll help coordinate and realise a project focusing on #accessbility in #gaming.

So over the course of the next 18 months, you can expect more insights and resources about this topic and our project on my feed.

#dyslexia #accessbility this is a really fascinating paper! dyslexiahelp.umich.edu/sites/default/files/good_fonts_for_dyslexia_study.pdf

Did you know that if you have difficulty accessing your local polling station, you can request to vote elsewhere?

At least a week before polling day (i.e. by 31 May), apply in writing to your returning officer for permission to vote at another station in the same constituency, explaining why you cannot access your local station.
