#accessibiliy — Public Fediverse posts

I speak English (well), French (well enough to be understood), and one sentence each in Spanish and Italian.

The next language I’d really like to be able to communicate in at a basic level is #Auslan. Australian Sign Language. Then I’d like to add ASL and BSL. Every school should make the sign language of their region part of the core curriculum.

Let’s all at least learn the alphabet! Time to end the isolation the #deaf community experiences every day.

But it gets better: try keyboard-navigating through the form, and it's hard not to unsubscribe from everything, even if you didn't want to! As soon as the "unsubscribe all" checkbox gets focus, you get instantly unsubscribed: no interaction necessary.

A special level of #accessibiliy failure on Egencia's #mailingList subscription management page: the labels for choosing which individual mailing lists to subscribe to are properly-configured, but the "unsubscribe all" one isn't. Click the words "unsubscribe all" and... nothing happens.

Für die #MessengerMatrix des @[email protected] habe ich vor einer Weile die Berücksichtigung von Fragen zur #Barrierefreiheit angeregt:

Leider bisher gar keine Reaktion...
Wobei ich denke, dass das kein einfaches Unterfangen ist. Aber vielleicht findet sich ja doch jemand, der an einer Konzeption für solch eine Übersicht arbeiten würde?

Als erstes müsste man vielleicht die #Accessibiliy Issues zu den verschiedenen Messengern sammeln, bzw. erstmal welche aufmachen...

Has anybody ever measured how much damage sliders/carousels do to the web? Not only #accessibiliy, but people just love scrolling and do really not like clicking small arrows or dots in order to get information that was not important enough to show it in the first place.

YouTube is using creators and audience as lab rats for their new AI.
ever wonder why they killed community translation, the greatest language accessibility tool they ever had? that's why.

YouTube Please STOP Auto Translating Video Titles!!

I want to say thank you to anyone who writes ALT-text for their drawings/images ♡ Stronger than the forces of nature!!

Especially shouting out people ALT-Texting handwritten text in images!!!! I hope you have the most wonderful time

have I ever said how much I enjoy writing expressive and artsy #ImageDescriptions when appropriate?
I mean there is a balance to be had here. I have a lot against Xkcds approach to image descriptions and I think hiding jokes or giving a different experience is a no go for #accessibiliy.

But: in a context, wher I would expect able-bodied people to take a bit of time and enjoy an artwork, I still provide a factual and functional image description, but with a bit of flourish.

Autosave is not a feature for lazy people with bad workflows, that just have "got to get into the habit of saving"

It is an important #accessibiliy feature.

Because I just once again lost work due to an open Source project deciding not to support auto saves, and when I looked in forums I was immediately met with this elitism. 🤬

Thank you @GIMP btw.

Axios is essentially headlining with the business model overlays use: “Assistive technology is AI's next billion-person market”

The technologies it describes are not AI, even if there is some computer vision in there. Anyway, it’s just a CES marketing round-up with two simple caveats at the end.

@destructatron I’m so sorry, I hadn’t realised the Fedora Silverblue installer isn’t accessible.

Sony is making an Access controller. It is a competitor of the Adaptive Controller from Microsoft and I love how they are not alike at all.

The xBox controller offers two big touch surfaces and tons of ports to plug in your own buttons.

The Sony controller has a lot more buttons of its own, but they are meant to be swapped around to accommodate different hand shapes and probably also different games. But it has fewer ports.

Does anybody have any docs about (android) Lightning Browser and what keyboard controls it has?

My google-fu was defeated! :-(
