New blog post: "Shadow DOM and accessibility: the trouble with ARIA" nolanlawson.com/2022/11/28/sha…
Wherein I describe a tricky accessibility issue with shadow DOM, and some of the upcoming web standards trying to tackle this problem.
Shadow DOM is a kind of retcon for the web. As I’ve written in the past, shadow DOM upends a lot of developer expectations and invalidates many tried-and-true techniques that worked fine in t…Read the Tea Leaves

The path to bringing you a great email experience on Android devices begins with K-9 Mail, which joined the Thunderbird family earlier this summer.
As we work towards a modern redesign of desktop Thunderbird, we’re also working to improve K-9 Mail as it begins its transition to Thunderbird mobile in Summer 2023.
Read more about today's new release of K-9 Mail on the Thunderbird blog:

I disagree. An algorithm is not intrinsically bad. As long as we understand that it represents the interests of whoever paid to have it constructed. I think an algorithm with human values that simply wanted to enrich experience is perfectly possible.
I haven't seen one, probably because nobody has ever had a financial incentive to construct it.
Mastodon would be a good place to try to make one.

If somebody behaves like an asshole on your project's issue tracker, it's extremely likely that they'll be an asshole elsewhere. FLOSS projects should really have a shared blocklist, so bad actors don't go around spreading misery.

Our #introduction to #bookstodon!
Hello, we are Canongate Books, an independent #publisher of an eclectic mix of #authors for an eclectic and discerning audience of readers. You might know us from the spines of:
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Lanark by Alasdair Gray
The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki

We're based in Edinburgh and London, and next year we'll be 50. Hello!
I wrote a bot that parses the current #Mastodon instances and assigns them to the respective #ASN (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN).
Interesting is the concentration on a few top ASN. Here for example the 10 most frequent ASNs as Pie Chart (as of 11/25/2022).
❤️ Thanks to @TheKinrar for the nice API for receiving the current mastodon instances.

Sorry, I noticed that too late.
In my other toot, I therefore integrated the ranking directly into the text. Here are the data from the chart:

While many are praising him for his transparency, it reveals a major problem and hurdle with building accessible products. Not to mention the ableism in stating several times, the need to "let everyone in" while choosing not to make sure the application is accessible. Statements like "Our number one focus is letting in the 300K+ users on our waitlist" assume that none of those people have a disability and/or all use technology in the same way.

@jcsteh ... it's all good. No worries. It's good to clarify just in case someone else was thinking the same thing.
Also, I'd like to thank you. It's very cool that you worked on NVDA! That's my screen reader of choice.

Liberating books! #librarygeeking
The Internet Archive has scanned thousands of books that have not gotten the date set via metadata matching, which means we dont know which are public domain... (1927 is coming up on Jan 1!)
so... now I have a command line to find candidate public domain books by grep'ing the full text for "Copyright 19XX" for xx between 00 and 27.
Now we have to QA, update, and liberate!

Git Notes: git's coolest, most unloved feature: tylercipriani.com/blog/2022/11…
"Git notes are powerful tools. And they could solve so many problems—if only they were better known and easier to use."
"Git is a distributed code review system. But much of the value of git repos ends up locked into forges, like GitHub.
Git notes are a path toward an alternative."

Here's post.news's founder Noam Bardin, declaring in the same breath "we are not focused on . . . accessibility" and "We want to do it all but first, let's get everyone in." In other words, "everyone" does not include people with disabilities. This kind of discrimination is not uncommon from tech companies, but it's a pretty unusual for a founder to state it this explicitly. #a11y must be an MVP expectation for digital startups.

It’s your call if you feel accessibility is outside the ability of your devs, but do not kid yourself that you can “get everyone in” when you may be blocking ~20% of your wait-list.
