I'm happy to report that work on this issue with accessibility in the most prominent community documentation on HTML/CSS seems have started to get rolling, additional help or input certainly welcome.

Right now accessibility documentation there; guidelines, warnings, and more; are not prominent and easy to miss. There's low hanging fruit and a broadly agreed upon path beyond that toward a more accessible web.

Accessibility should be more prominent on CSS/HTML element pages · mdn · Discussion #430

Per the element page template, accessibility concerns are towards the bottom of the page, just above the technical summary: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Writing_guidelines/Page_stru...

📣 The new Chat Control proposal puts the security of everyone in the EU at risk in search of an non-existent magic tool.

It’s time to raise the alarm and make our voices heard element.io/blog/eus-chat-contr… 📣

EU’s Chat Control puts security and privacy at risk

Since it was first proposed, the EU’s Regulation to prevent and combat child sexual abuse (aka Chat Control) has gained the attention of security experts, academics, civil society, and the private sector for all the wrong reasons.

A Language Log post about nonbinary honorifics and the etymology of Miss and Missus (from Latin Magistra "mistress" not Latin Magus and its Old Iranian relatives) lead me to this essay on how the connotations of each term have changed since the 18th century cam.ac.uk/research/news/mistre… #philology #linguistics

🐺🐺Tak povídej, jak dopadl pohovor. Tvl, ten pohovor trval 3,5hodiny. Výsledkem je, že zájem mají a dokonce jsou ochotni mi dát víc zlaťáků než mi dává můj současný otrokář. Ale POZOR oni za to chtějí abych “pracoval”😱😁. No jo, je to dneska divnej svět🤷🏼‍♂️😁. Mám z toho dobrej pocit, přesto jsem si vzal týden na rozmyšlenou ( to se tak dělá, aby věděli, že neprodávám svou kůži zadarmo😉) Děkuji Vám všem za podporu♥️. Nechci chodit do práce jen tak, že musím a tady mě to bude fakt bavit👍

@Seirdy

Still reading your post: seirdy.one/posts/2020/11/23/we…

I'm thinking if splitting it into separate parts (~30 min) may help the readers.

> 23 thousand words; a very long 1 hour and 51 minute read

Side question: do you have a view on how to write math on the web? Specifically, without JavaScript support.

From Dillo I don't think we could implement anything close to MathML any time soon, but we have some patches to support SVG equations like the ones in Wikipedia.

Here's my latest update on Newton, the #Wayland-native, #Flatpak-friendly #accessibility project for the modern #FreeDesktop ecosystem, developed as part of @gnome and funded by @sovtechfund. It's not ready for production yet, but this blog post includes a demo video and links to GNOME OS and Flatpak runtime builds you can try. As a bonus, because I'm integrating #AccessKit into #GTK, GTK apps will finally have #a11y on Windows and macOS. blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1…

In Alberta's official births data, there is an entry for a boy born in 2020 with the name Ííîîïïòòóóôôõõööùùúúûûüüýýààááââããääççè

I want to think this is a data-entry error but I also want to think this was someone just absolutely trolling the registry / vital statistics staff.

You can look up that name (and any name) here:
