So @ShaunOfTheShed thinks that as a result of the X/Twitter iOS app issue being resolved so quickly, we should rethink the need to demand that there are dedicated #accessibility teams within companies, but what do you think? Watch and listen to the debate from Thursday's #AccessTechLive with Steven and Marc. doubletaponair.com/do-tech-com…

Accessible Android

You're lucky to have had the issue resolved with a quick fix, but the Android app has been having issues for almost two years now. A dedicated accessibility team is more than a requirement for X. Here's our article regarding the issue. accessibleandroid.com/twitter-…

Twitter accessibility issue and a temporary workaround - Accessible Android

In this post we will try to explain the accessibility issue on Twitter and will offer you a permanent solution.

Huhu Ihr Rechtsextremen aus den Plattenbausiedlungen, Ihr habt Euch über die Bezahlkarte für Geflüchtete gefreut?

Als nächstes kommt sie für die Kindergrundsicherung.

Kindergrundsicherung: Erste Details stehen – Ampel plant Überraschung

Um kaum ein Projekt hat die Ampel so gestritten wie um die Kindergrundsicherung. Nach Monaten zeichnet sich im Bundestag nun eine Lösung ab.

Wenn ich schon lese "..wurden ein elfjähriger Junge und seine 15-jährige Schwester von einem schnell fahrenden Auto erfasst." schwillt mir der Kamm, steigt mir die Zornesröte ins Gesicht und ich rege mich tierisch auf!

NEIN! Sie wurden von einem jugendlichen Raser mit seinem PKW schlichtweg über den Haufen gefahren. Wann gewöhnt ihr euch mal an, Klartext zu schreiben, Ross und Reiter in aller Deutlichkeit zu benennen?!?1?!1 Es ist auch - sorry, aber ICH schreibe Klartext - scheißegal, ob es sich um einen 3er BWW oder um eine Nuckelpinne handelt. Oder sollen jetzt alle 3er BMW in sippenhaft genommen werden? Beiträge wie der von Herrn Westerhoff lenken die Sicht - absichtlich? - in eine falsche Richtung, lenken vom tatsächlichen Problem ab!

“El poder judicial desempeñó un papel análogo al de los militares contra la II República”

“Se ha escrito mucho del ruido de sables pero poco del de togas. El Poder Judicial desempeñó un papel análogo al de los militares para acabar con la II República”

Rubén Pérez Trujillano habla en su libro 'Jueces contra la República: el poder judicial frente a las reformas republicanas', del sabotaje judicial que sufrió la II República por parte de la judicatura.

Algorytmy YT podpowiedziały mi film z krótką analizą, czemu muzyka jest coraz gorsza:
1. bo coraz łatwiej ją tworzyć
2. bo coraz łatwiej jej słuchać (za miesiąc dostępu do prawie całej muzyki świata zapłacimy mniej niż za płytę)

Więc de facto nikt jej nie ceni.

I know how Narrator grabs some information off screen is different to how we do it - so knowing that Narrator works is useful in that we know it CAN be accessed correctly - but whether it is because they have specifically worked around a bug in Notepad or DON'T have a particular processing bug NVDA does.... or whether it is simply that they are collecting the same informatin in a different way is harder to know. Either way, thanks for all your help :)

We do have to keep ourselves awake, of course. 1 result early doesn't mean the other 649 will appear within minutes.

supposedly the #android 15 betas allow for BT-HID #braille displays to connect without having to use USB. Has anyone gotten this to work? I just tried it with a Mantis q40 and while the device is detected, when trying to connect it just says " failed to connect to [bluetooth_name_here], try again", so this does not quite appear ready for prime time. Makes sense given its a beta, just curious if its a pebcac issue

Hey, I figured out why you weren't hearing the status of the closed caption setting. The screen reader support does something kind of ugly where it waits a certain amount of time between sending chunks of text to the screen reader, based on the length of the text, to try to make sure the speech isn't interrupted. But of course, that code doesn't know how fast your speech is, so there can be long delays.

That old proof of concept is here: github.com/AccessKit/the-inter… It's a simple choice-based narrative game, but it *is* using Unity.

@aardrian I used to think web.dev was a good WebPerf resource if you just ignored the articles with bad accessibility advice. but publishing advice to use positive tabindex values to “modify DOM order” in 2024 is so laughably off the mark that I think I’ll stop linking this site altogether.

That’s…not how the DOM works! This was an article with four authors on an official Google web development resource and nobody called the BS. I can’t trust anything I read on web.dev anymore.

10 years ago I wrote about *not* using positive `tabindex` values. Today I added a warning about two Google web-dot-dev articles that a reader thought *promoted* it:
adrianroselli.com/2014/11/dont…

At what point will people recognize that #accessibility info from that site should be ignored?

Filed two issues:
• issuetracker.google.com/issues…
• issuetracker.google.com/issues…

Don’t Use Tabindex Greater than 0
