#DisabilityIN The Evinced CEO referred to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Working Group as one of the three pillars of creating accessible content. Using it can guarantee “100% accessibility”.
a single technology automatically making it possible to guarantee “100% accessibility” is at least as ridiculous as a single technology guaranteeing 100% security. This doesn’t just apply to automation/overlays; it applies to every technology used on any nontrivial project.
Replacing the word “accessibility” with “security” and vice versa is a good bullshit detector for marketing material.
Ultimately, nothing short of allowing the user to remake the entirety of the program's human-interaction layer to their liking will provide 100% accessibility.
#DisabilityIN Luncheon Plenary: “Nothing About Us Without Us: Accessibility Innovation, Leadership, and Impact”
Microsoft’s CAO discussed one challenge of #accessibility is non-practitioners creating accessible content. She talked about advances in tooling to solve that, using this slide.
#DisabilityIN Very quick demonstration of Microsoft Accessibility Insights run against the Disability:IN home page only. Found no issues! Applause from audience. I *think* the “Needs review” tab listed two issues.

Dear AppleVis Community, At his request, I wanted to provide you an update on AppleVis' Founder and Editor-in-Chief, David Goodwin; as well as the future of AppleVis.
@DavidGoldfield i saw him post on this topic yesterday. He was very thankful for all the support. He said he's on the road to recovery. I'll check and see if there's any further updates.
Recently, user Jordan shared a small but meaningful experience made possible with #NVDA: "When NVDA by NV Access reads alt text from your favourite #restaurant menu, now I just found a new #dessert I want to try! Thanks to NVDA, my day is getting off to a perfect start."
Hi !Friendica Support, I'm not finding much documentation about following and connecting. Is this how it works: If the only relationship between A and B is that A follows B, then: - A is a fan and follower of B. - A and B are not considered connected. - There is a unilateral friendship between A and B.
If B also follows A, then: - A and B are considered connected. - There is a mutual/bilateral friendship between A and B.
When you receive a friendship notification from another Friendica member, you will have the option of allowing them as a "Follower" or as a "Friend". If they are a follower, they can see what you have to say, including private communications that you send to them, but not vice versa. As a friend, you can both communicate with each other.
How do you cause a “friendship notification” to be sent? What form does it take when it arrives? I've been experimenting with 2 accounts, but have not seen a friendship notification.
Hi Dirk. It depends on the account type and network. For example my Fendica account is setup to accept all friends requests as "followers". So I get no notification when someone adds me as a friend. But if you follow a Mastodon account, and yo are on Friendica, perhaps they get a notification.
In Friendica you can tweak these things a lot. Let me know if you have more questions.
1. How do I set up my Friendica account to accept all friend requests as "followers"? And what are the other options?
2. I told my sister to take these steps in order to follow me: a. Go to Contacts b. Type my info in the “Add new contact” field and click Connect c. On the page that comes up, click Submit request She followed the instructions, and without any input from me, we are now mutual friends. Why didn't Friendica ask for my approval?
@Dirk Maas @Tio Go to settings>account>advanced account type. Unless you have standard, you wont need to approve everyone if they want to follow you. love-all will make them all friends, soapbox will make them all followers.
Thank you @anubis2814! I just checked and my account type is standard. But with my sister it acted like it was love-all. I'm not sure how to explain that, but I'll keep an eye on things going forward.
I see. So you didn't get a notification when she added you as a friend/follow but when I did you received. Interesting. Maybe was it that you already had her in your list of friends? Just checking...
No, she was not on any list – I knew she had an account, but that's all. I had tried to find her account, but could not.
Two unexpected things happened: (1) She became a follower of mine without any notification to me or input from me, and (2) I became a follower of her – again without any action taken on my part.
Yes @anubis2814 is right. You can change it form there.
It depends what kind of account you have. Maybe you have it setup to accept all friends requests by default. Please check that. And by the way to add someone as a contact is even easier: use the top search bar and paste someone's profile (url or name). Enter. Now you can submit a friend request. I just clicked to follow you did you get any notification?
@Dirk Maas As far as I've ever seen its just A follows you. Following and friendship are the same thing. Though you can both follow and ignore someone too.

PyGObject, the #Python bindings for #GTK, have recently merged support for asynchronous programming, closing an orthogonality gap between Python's async support and GTK having been single-threaded / event based since forever: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobje… This ends a decade of using projects such as gbulb that kindly bridged that gap.
I'm not sure he is on the fediverse, but huge kudos to long time GNOME contributor Benjamin Berg for this. This is such an amazing gift that he has worked on for the last couple of years and it really levels up PyGObject. 🤩 #Python #GNOME

Okay, #Emacs users, does anyone still use Helm? Gonna get back into it, and setup is kinda different, so yeah. I loved it though when I had it working last time.
@Devin Prater :blind: Perhaps emacspeak has some code to handle helm auto completions. I think with speechd-el I did not managed to use it properly. Or that might be just me not being clever enough. I'll try looking into it again.

It was this way across the company, Alejandra found, her phone lighting up with backchannel gossip as she walked. Big round of layoffs that also vaporized whole layers of middle management, and plenty of executives as well.

Element Web is completely broken with Firefox ESR. I don't blame the devs here, they didn't make the policy. But it baffles me that management apparently decided they simply don't support that and won't even do anything to make sure affected users can migrate their existing chats (as not everyone will have a key backup or a second session to allow verification).
This is e.g. the default browser on Debian stable and this is affecting a lot of users that had no idea they were using an "unsupported browser" until it just suddenly broke. It's one thing to not support Firefox ESR (though I think that would still be the wrong choice). It's another to just leave users that could not have reasonably known that without any kind of fix.
Your use case It seems (given the discussion in #27682, unless the person in charge of support there) that Firefox ESR isn't supported. Given it has a large user base (enterprise, Debian stable and...

Před několika měsíci jsem začal přispívat do OpenStreetMap a celkem mě to chytlo. Rozhodl jsem se tedy napsat seriál článků o tom, v jakých formách lze přispívat. Seriál ale musím začít tím, že napíšu o tom, proč vlastně přispívat a kde všude může být vaše práce vidět.
Priznávam sa bez hanby, toto som vôbec netušil. A keďže Google aktívne bojkotujem, využívam Apple maps, v aute navigáciu od Kie, čo je ak sa nepletiem maskovaný TomTom a historicky zaplatený Sygic si držím ako zálohu... tak sa neviem dočkať ďalších článkov. Alebo ak máš po ruke nejaký slušný resource ako začať, tak sem s ním. 👍
Návodů bude myslím hodně, jde o to, v jaké formě chce člověk přispívat. Může to být StreetComplete, což je fakt jak sbírání pokémonů, jen jdeš a pár klepnutími doplňuješ chybějící info jako povrch cesty apod. Další level je doplňování POI z mobilních aplikací jako OsmAnd. Chybí hospoda? Doplním. A pak je mapování v plnohodnotném editoru, kde zakresluješ chybějící cesty, chodníky atd. To už vyžaduje určitě znalosti. V seriálu nemám ambici napsat ultimátní návody, ale spíš napsat o tom, co která forma přispívání obnáší, aby si lidi udělali představu, co by je mohlo bavit, jak moc se do toho ponořit.
Medzičasom som skúsil OsmoTagger a stiahol Go map!! Takže sa skúšam hrať. Myslím, že sa natrénujem na Vesničke mé strediskové 😂 Teším sa na články, vážne.
na seriál se těším. Mám chuť přispívat, ale nevím z jakého konce to vzít, tak snad mě to pomůže nasměrovat. Zatím jsem ve stádiu chytání pockemonů ve #SteetComplete a editace pár detailů v okolí mého bydliště.
Záleží co tě zajímá případně co tě trápí. Pokud si na něco netroufáš, nebo nevíš jak danou věc opravit, můžeš se zeptat. Buď tady (pár nás tu je - já třeba sleduji tagy #OSM a #OpenStreetMap ) případně máme emailovou konferenci a propojené místnosti jabber/matrix/irc/telegram/discord

"the height of email cards adjusts automatically" is not working, card views has become impossible to use, especially when there's a thread. Also, it has become almost impossible to distinguish read/unread emails.
