  1. Has anyone else noticed that the #Apple #SpokenContent #ScreenReader has become #unusable?

    Since #iOS 15, #Siri has lost the ability to #synchronize the spoken content of a webpage with what the screen reader highlights, which is supposed to be the entire point of the #accessibility feature

    Now the reader is grayed out

    Maybe it’s my (much larger than average) font size, or because I use the #DarkNight #app, but now I have to highlight the specific text I want to be read & command it to read

    #Discord is a whole 'nother kettle of fish; the accumulated #knowledge of many, many #communities is getting #locked into this walled garden, where it is essentially #unsearchable and #unusable by anyone without an account.

    I haven't even been able to look at anything there, because of their brutally stupid "We detected something abnormal so we need your email address before you can view the site!" I get.

    "#Privacy? We've heard of it."

    EFF peeps giving out privacy advice can't even bring themselves to diss Chrome or recommend Firefox. FF will automatically store cookies+cache in separate silos... making the issue of rejecting cookies moot.

    But #EFF expert in The Atlantic says don't reject all cookies.... be moderate by picking and choosing the cookies you block. #unusable #advice #falsechoice #derp

    My advice to you would be to talk with the few smart ppl at EFF and form a better advocacy group.

  4. Making #QlikView dashboards adhere to #MSWindows system colors (chosen by the user) is not always straightforward.

    The #ListBox object for instance, by default, does not let us set a text foreground color. We can set the background to syscolor(5)… which can result in a completely #unusable #UserInterface.

    To fix this, we must override presentation settings. Set the selection style to 'LED Check box', then exit the settings. Then reopen settings and set syscolor (8) as the Font Color.
