It's #IDPwD 2022! That's the International Day of Persons with Disability. The theme this year is ‘Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world’.
Here's a couple of practical things you can do today:
- Use alt text in your images
- Politely inform others of the importance of alt text
- Test your content with a screen reader (we recommend the free NVDA!)

Note: we just did a #Fedibock of several instances:
➡️ mastodong[.]lol
➡️ activitypub-troll[.]cf
➡️ misskey-forkbomb[.]cf
➡️ repl[.]co
Several admins have seen these instances being involved in some nasty attacks: They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll [.]cf to overwhelm instances with Mastodon server calls.
An odd Fediverse-specific type of denial of service attack.
All blocked. Will block more if they sprout up,

jortage.com/ takes the "duplicate every image across every fedi server" model and deduplicates as possible at the media storage level
self-hosting an instance and outsourcing media storage has been for me a nice balance

Heute wollen wir mal ein wenig raus gehen und unsere Ohren verwenden. Ich nehme euch mit nach Niedersachsen - genauer nach Ostfriesland. Urlaub für die Ohren - für 2:30 Minuten.
Der Podcast mit den ganzen Hörstücken wurde für Menschen, die nicht mehr dahin fahren können wo sie möchten (Hospiz, Palliativstation) aufgenommen - oder einfach für Menschen, die einmal rauskommen wollen/müssen.

To all #blind #ScreenReader users on various platforms who use #Firefox: The project to speed up web page and screen reader interaction, code-named Cache-The-World, is now at a phase where in Nightly 109, it has been enabled for all users. So if you spot anything that is unusual or not working as before, please let the #accessibility team know. Next step is an experiment for 50% roll-out on Windows in the 111 beta.

@jcsteh Working on AccessKit, I see the following technical benefits to implementing UIA in a non-browser context:
1. NVDA can take advantage of UIA's bulk fetch. For MSAA/IA2 in a non-browser context, it has to do chatty IPC.
2. A UIA provider can signal that it's safe to call that provider's methods away from the UI thread.
3. An IA2 unique ID is only 32 bits, but a UIA runtime ID is variable-length. So I don't need a mapping from AccessKit to IA2 IDs.

in reply to Toot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎ • • •Made another quick release of v17.3 to fix this issue! Not granting full access to the photo library should now work as well, although it will not work quite as well.
The main noticeable limitation is that if Toot! does not have photo library access, then photos will not be pre-selected if you go to change your selection of attached photos. You have to delete them from the posting screen and then re-select them to make changes. This seems to be an Apple limitation that can't be worked around.
