“Automated testing won’t solve web accessibility”
yatil.net/blog/automated-testi…
Eric carries my automated testing post to its logical conclusion, more explicitly than I did. He also points out where it can/should live in a process.
Over the past few years, accessibility companies have started to develop tools that claim to find accessibility problems automatically. Often the idea is that “automated testing is not quite there yet, but in a few years there will be a revolution”.Eric Eggert

I've just finished A Fish Has No Word For Water: A punk homeless San Francisco memoir by @violetblue. You may know her from The Smart Girl's Guide to Privacy.
The memoir is searing. Just look at the first page.
And I didn't expect to learn all this about the history of AIDS or homelessness in San Francisco.
You can get it on Amazon etc. or direct from the author: digitapub.com/collections/fron…
Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen.Violet Blue ®

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.
See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

Thunderbird 115 introduces a brand new Folder Pane to make webmail users feel right at home. But what about veteran users? Find out inside!Jason Evangelho (The Thunderbird Blog)
I hope it's still compact enough or has a compact mode toggle switch so my 5 accounts with dozens of folders are still easily navigatable on a 4k 43" screen without scaling.
I am highly anticipating this update, will look forward to being another #thunderbird space monkey when it makes its way into the #archlinux #aur -- its been so encouraging to see all the work the last few years.
20+ years ago I wrote a humor piece called "If Shakespeare Wrote Error Messages", and @leonardr published it in the geek humor magazine Segfault.org.

About 6 years ago someone met me, recognized my name, and told me she'd read that piece as an email forward.
You send out spores, natural as breathing, and sometimes they find a habitat, and then decades later you happen by and come upon a fragment of your legacy, silly and minuscule though it might be.

What? Umweltschlupfloch aus dem EU Parlament! Im Dezember kam die Batterieverordnung für die EU - geil!
Jetzt die Frechheit: Die Verordnung gilt nicht für Smartphones und Tablets.
Wir finden, da müssen die Regelungen der EU viel konkreter werden, um Schlupflöcher großzügig abzudichten❗️ Wer jetzt schon ein Smartphone will, dass einen austauschbaren Akku hat sollte auf jeden Fall mal bei @shiftphones vorbeischauen. 👆🏽

Hello @thunderbird
The donation form is not compatible with the Firefox credit card autocompletion 😬
The auto-inserted spaces make the digit at the same position disappear.
Also, what about proposing a Mastodon link in the final thank you?
And finally do you really want to use reCaptcha as a captcha? 😬
You'll be pleased to know we're switching the platform that handles donations very soon.
Regarding the Mastodon link, hopefully Mozilla can get that coded -- perhaps once the official Mastodon instance launches.

Karl argues a different point, which is not the opposite of Eric’s.
I agree automation is not the enemy, I also agree automation will not solve web #accessibility. It’s nice when #a11y practitioners agree on things.
