ah thanks for pointing that out! The main thing that gets me is the alternating row colors. Less of a problem for the directory view but definitely hard for me to read when looking at a file 😅
do you have a link to the source code for that site? Having trouble finding it but may be interested in adding additional feedback and poking around :)
Good question! It's not in a repo right now, but probably should be!
If your changes are CSS-only, a diff against hg.prosody.im/style-boot.css could be easily applied (browsers let you export modifications you make with their style editor).
The actual HTML is generated by hgweb from a set of templates. If you're interested in going that far, we can look into getting it all into a repo...

Like this lady. She's gotta be one of the most broadly-talented makers on all of YouTube, and her commitment to the fit and finish of her final results is UNMATCHED. In terms of skill she's practically in a class of her own.

This might not be the most uplifting "2022 wrapped" list - but we hope it helps teams prioritising #accessibility in 2023 to find and fix the most critical accessibility issues we found over hundreds of accessibility reviews in 2022.
Here's to a more #inclusive 2023! Stay safe and merry holidays 🎉
In 2022, the most critical accessibility issues were: keyboard accessibility, supporting smaller viewports/zoom, using semantic markup and ARIA attributes correctly, and managing focus visually and programmatically.
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.
This release fixes an issue in the library Prosody uses to build XML stanzas, wherein it was too strict and disallowed the character “DEL”, which is actually allowed by XML.
Can be used to sync some data (documents & co, not intended for system stuff) without needing any app on-device. Uses rsync & adbfs (some details in the readme). You define per-directory whether it shall sync from or to the device. Supports bidirectional as well, but use that with care as it's rather hacky-wacky.
@IvanGubkin Enjoy! Should something act "funny", issues are open. Took me quite a little to figure some things, and some hacks to get them right (like, timestamps and such). Just roughly tested, so there will be some quirks for sure.
@IvanGubkin I especially wanted to avoid having to set up some apps on multiple devices. And yes, I had thought of that (and some other tools). But why if it works without? If a daily sync suffices, at night most devices are feeding on the USB cable anyway 🤪
@xander2m No. You define *what to sync* (in the JSON file), and it then syncs *when you run the script*. So it's either a manual task, or you can set it up via cron (which is what the -q switch is for, to keep the output quite and let only errors through, should there be any9.
I hope this happens everywhere, and not just in Europe. It will only make their platforms better if they don't fight it. engadget.com/apple-third-party…
Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.
Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:
Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of U.S. copyright restrictions, and free of cost.
Could I ask someone who is on Dragonscave.space to please check something for me? Tweesecake.social is not picking up the #MushroomFM hashtag, and I have no idea why. It's a server-side thing because when you perform a hashtag search for it in any app, nothing is returned. Not all clients or servers support following hashtags yet, which is why searching is important. I know that like Tweesecake.social, dragonscave.space also runs Hometown and I'm wanting to rule that out as a cause. So, if you're on Dragonscave.space and perform a hashtag search on MushroomFM, is anything being returned? Thanks very much for any help.
THis might be a tweesecake bug. I did a search for #mushroomfm in pinafore and it popped up a link to the hashtag as the result, clicking on it gave me many posts. Did the same thing in tweesecake and it said no results.
Oh, no I didn’t. OK tried again and this time I did get results back. It gave me the hashtag result and after I clicked on it it gave me a buffer with the posts.

If I can still get in there (who knows, I installed SUSE on top of WSL at two in the morning one day a few weeks back), I'm going to set up VXSrv and then Nautilus on top of it. I would love to see how something superior to File Explorer will work on Windows.
@Nuno Interesting... I forgot it existed. Though I'll still play with Nautilus; I'm still interested in X11 forwarding and how that works with screen readers. I haven't seen anything about it.
@Nuno What sorts of issues will I be expecting with X11? I want to know what I'm up against so that when I do a Peertube video later tonight, I don't alert people to things they already know about.
@Nuno Interesting... I forgot that PulseAudio was a thing... or I didn't think it pertained when dealing with forwarding... I guess that would make sense. Because X11 forwarding could be compared to the virtual application experience you get via something like Citrix, right?
@Nuno Mastodon is a particular software. There are lots of other services and softwares that use it's protocol. Mastodon allows short posts because it's meant to be a decentralized alternative to Twitter. the protocol behind it is called Activitypub
@Nuno It's more just an advancement in technology and people saying enough with three main companies running the entire social experience for absolutely everyone.
@Nuno there is, though not sure how good it is. It's called Guilded, and then there is the Matrix protocol, which is sort of like Discord, but decentralized. Element is the most widely used client. Accessible, but not optimal.
@Nuno True. I don't see why using libraries that have functions to make things simpler though is a problem. I see it in some instances, but not in others.

The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 13 - Sweden - expand the content warning to open the window for today
Today's one might be familiar to some of you as this has received a bit of media attention bacccccccccccccccccback in 2016 when Sweden hosted the Eurovision Song Contest. To celebrate another win, for the time of the contest's duration, the audible traffic lights at some of Stockholm's locations have been revamped to play Loreen with "Euphoria" (winner of the 2012 ESC) when the lights are red, then when they turn green, they ticked to the beat of Mans Zelmerlow's "Heroes", the song that brought the contest back to Sweden in 2015.

@mikebabcock Thanks for the heads up. I know most users are aware of this - I meant it more as a gimmick that makes it look more like an actual calendar.
#FDroid ist mehr als nur ein App-Store. Und nicht nur die dort angebotenen Apps sind F/LOSS, sondern das gesamte Framework. Das macht es auch möglich, dass man sogar die "Store-App" frei wählen (android.izzysoft.de/applists/c…), eigene Repos aufsetzen, und letztere im Client hinzufügen kann. So bietet das F-Droid eigene Repo mittlerweile über 4.000 Apps, mein Repo derzeit 999, und es gibt zahlreiche weitere Repositories (android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…) – nicht einmal ich kenne sie alle…
Die meisten haben sicher bereits von F-Droid gehört – dem „Store“ für Android-Apps, der komplett Open-Source ist. Einige wissen vielleicht sogar, dass die zugehörige App mit mehreren Repositories umgehen kann.
I make games. I often have the requirement to quickly build a dialog or a window of some kind. Using native HTMl here makes sense to me, so I'm implementing a bunch of components that implement the most common features I need in my UI. Now they have to be accessible, so read well with screen readers, and be fully keyboard navigable. This includes things like lists, tab bars, menus, etc. So here's the problem. I have some things that need to be inside a container. A list for example. So you have the list container, and then the list items inside it. When you tab around, I want the container to be tabbable, not the list item. So you don't tab through the list, you tab to the list, and then use the arrows to move around. Now here's the problem. When the container is tabbable, and not the list item, when you tab to the container, it either: * reads something like "List title section" and then nothing, not even the item you have selected. Or * Reads all the list items at once. Either of those are not great obviously. Ideally, I'd like it to read the list title, then list, and then the selected item. So the way I get it to do this is by detecting when you tab/focus the list container, and then immediately set the focus to the selected list item instead. Now this works fantastic. You can tab around, and it automatically puts you right on the list item you have selected, and it even gets read. But somehow, when you don't just tab around, but also shift tab around, this shift tab lands you back on the list container. And that automatically moves your focus back inside the list. So effectively, once you're in a list, you're trapped. Does anyone have an idea how to get around this without doing ugly hacks like stealing tab and shift tab and implementing tab order myself? I want to use as many native browser features as possible so if there's another way to do this, please feel free to tell me. #HTML #JavaScript #accessibility
It's funny. I've done web accessibility for quite a while now, but this is the first time I'm trying to implement a user interface which you use completely without making use of special "browse mode" or "virtual cursor" features at all. I feel rather silly for being stuck.
I have a few ideas, but they all sound... rather meh. I could re-implement tab order manually. This would probably make it easier to hook up navigation to a game pad in the future, and I would want this, so maybe I'll have to do this anyway. I could set the aria title/label of the list container to whichever list item you have selected. That way, when you focus the container, the screen reader will automatically read the right info. But this will still cause it to say "section" at the end, and that's rather ugly and I don't know how I feel about that.
Stupid question, but legitimate curiosity. Why are we assuming screen reader users are tabbing around? I mean obviously I can't speak for everyone but tab/shift+tab is kind of a last resort for me if literally nothing else works.
@quanin if you're playing a game and this game requires keyboard input, you're in focus mode already. So virtual cursor stuff is disabled. So it would be nice if you could use the entire UI without having to mess with it. Also, let's say we have a list. That list has different items. If the keyboard is free of web navigation keys, you could use the arrows, page up/down, or even search to filter the list, and once you have an item, you could press a key to trigger an action immediately on that item. Let's imagine you're in a list of spells. You arrow around to find a spell. You press i, and it immediately reads out all the relevant info of that spell. Description, mana cost, cooldown, etc.
@quanin that isn't to say that you can't use the UI any other way. It's still normal DOM, so everything is still available to you. Virtual cursors, object navigation, whatever your screen reader has. So it would be additional, not exclusive.
I wonder if dropdowns/comboboxes would be a better idea for what you're looking for. You can code them in such a way that the game only reacts to a selected option if you smack enter on it.
I would say container does not have to have tabIndex set at all. Active aka selected item should always have tabIndex="1" all other items should have tabIndex="-1" and you have to implement your own cursor handling. This technique is called rovingTabIndex. This is usefull while creating treeview, listbox, popup menu, menu bar and whatever widget where navigating around controls inside a container. See this paragraph or the whole article for more details w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/practices/…
@pvagner Please don't ever use `tabindex="1"`, as this forces the element to occupy the first position in the tab order regardless of where it is actually located on the page. `tabindex="0"` works just as well, without the same issue.
@James Scholes Yes, I must have mixed it. Thanks for the correction. With help from other comments and the link @Talon managed to do the right think luckily.
You are fighting against the semantics that were provided for this purpose. If you want a listbox, build a listbox.
But, to answer your specific question, you could use a roving tabindex on your list items, so that only one of them is in the tab order at all times. Let's say the first list item has `tabindex="0"`, the list has an accessible name via `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby`, and the list is not in the tab order.
Users will tab to the first item, and the screen reader will hopefully announce the name and role of the list, plus the item they just tabbed to. When they hit Up/Down Arrow or other navigation keys, set `tabindex="-1" on the item they just came from, and `tabindex="0"` on the destination.
Note: you may need to explicitly add `role="list"` to the `<ul>`, or VoiceOver may just decide to ignore the semantics. This also may not be a good idea in general. As a point of reference, Slack's messages list uses this approach.
@jscholes that is what I'm trying to build. But there are no native listbox elements in HTML, and w3c suggests the roving tab index solution which works well. Listboxes are built using normal unordered lists and list items, so you have to implement this yourself. And tabbing into the list is where my trouble was. Roving tab index does exactly what I wanted. Unless I'm completely wrong here.
Once you've done all of that, though, you may as well just add `role="listbox"` to the `<ul>`, and `role="option"` to each `<li>`. The only reason Slack doesn't use a listbox role is that they need to override the accessible name of each message node, and `role="option"` apparently struggles with that in some screen readers.
Definitely not. Just saying that if you've built the underlying structure, added arrow key and other keyboard support, and written the code to manage `tabindex`, you may as well ad the listbox and option roles at that point. It will give some screen reader users more recognisable announcements than an interactive list without them, particularly for JAWS.
@jscholes oh absolutely. I did. It also helped a lot with FireFox where text items in a list didn't read properly when arrowed through without the roles.
@jscholes yup, just tried. You still have to implement keyboard navigation manually, as well as set roving tab index, otherwise when you tab to the list, the selected item is not read.

"Out of 100 avatars I generated, 16 were topless, and in another 14 it had put me in extremely skimpy clothes... I have Asian heritage...My white female colleague got significantly fewer sexualized images. Another colleague with Chinese heritage got results similar to mine."
Incredibly important story from Melissa Heikkilä about how the viral AI avatar app Lensa repeatedly undressed her without her consent, and its grotesque fetish for Asian women.
This is one of the awful elements of biased AIs: they amplify the bias of the training material, and I'm willing to bet many of the photos of asian women in the training material were sexualized.
