#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.
Perry Johnson asks RNC attendees if they are better off today than they were 4 years ago and then immediately pivots to talking about 2019. I wonder why he skipped 2020 🤔
If, like me, you've put off upgrading from a gas range to an induction electric range, I have some fantastic news. In most of America, you can now pre-order a battery-equipped range, which just sips from your normal household outlet, and can work during a power outage. #ElectrifyEverything copperhome.com/products/charli…
The world's first energy storage equipped induction electric range. We’ve sold out of First Edition Charlie ranges, and are now accepting pre-orders. Your pre-order deposit secures your future order. It is fully refundable at any time.
Respect. Respect yourself. Treat you with kindness. Take care of your mind, body and soul. You only have one of each, you are one of a kind. Remember that.

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
Pues nada, les vengo con el chisme de que $empresa Mexicana le vendió un #DesarrolloDeSoftware a $colectiva, y se les hizo bien hacer uso de su certificación en #AWS para desplegar todo en esa infra, aquí mis impresiones
Ooooh, nice! 🤩 I preordered the same one and I'm so excited for it... Btw, I got the Thunderbird nebula update today and it looks so damn good! 👌 Thank you for your work on it!
Seriously though, I don't think a model that could classify between uspol and non-uspol with a really good precision and decent recall (which is what you want here) would be that big.
If you did batching, and you could actually do batching on Masto if you were to accept a few seconds of extra federation delay, I think this would actually work and be cheap-ish to run.
We guess you've seen our calls for UX/UI pros. But why, you ask? Well, this is the challenge in front of us: fit all of the below into the player screen, while keeping it clean & usable! 📜 Transcripts 💭 Comments 🔢 Chapter titles 📋 Bookmarks with notes 💤 Sleep timer indication 👛 Donations to podcasters
We're soon meeting with the designers who'll hopefully make this happen!
@niavy Ok. Thanks for letting us know ^^ (Yes, we're not the fastest with implementing changes. That's because we work with a huge community while focussing on code quality. But as you can see from our efforts here, we do care for an appealing UI. Also, our podcast search database is bigger: way more than the 2 million that Focus Podcast reports to have. But yes, our search is sub-optimal. Maybe that causes the wrong impression.)
I purchased a new tablet two weeks ago and installed @AntennaPod for the first time. So far I'm really, really happy¹. Previously I used Rhythmbox on the desktop.
I'm still exploring² the UI and only found one thing missing: The podcast name in the queue list. Yes, there is the logo on the left, but I prefer text over images. On my screen is enough space. This might be a problem on other devices.
¹ Adjusting a podcast volume is so wonderful. ² I just discovered the chapter marks.
Is Ohio Ballot Access Deadline a Reason for Democrats to Push through a Virtual Roll Call Vote Before the Convention to Choose Joe Biden? Almost Certainly Not electionlawblog.org/?p=144570
After a warning from the Ohio Secretary of State that the Democrats’ late convention would come too late to notify Ohio to put its nominee on the ballot, Democrats decided to hold a virtual roll call vote early before the … Continue reading Is Ohio B…
It’s great to see Olympians and Tour de France cyclists are now wearing masks, but it says a lot that society is more invested in protecting famous athletes than people who are sick in hospitals, where there are no mask requirements these days.
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.
Man. I wish there would be some sort of blog or site or mastodon account which tells you things about #linux normal people would never tell you. I got this server, and 1 week later, people just came up with, oh yeah, change your ssh port, disable the root user, add this to this group and do this and na you can't store files in /home... Okay dude, tell me how to do it different. I hate it. I wish there would be actually readable, good tutorials how to setup a server so it is and stays stable. And does not ends up in a mess.
Every single story about #Trump "doing well" or "getting a victory" (because a judge he appointed dismissed a case, for example) is intended to dissuade you from voting.
Ask yourself this question: "Does this story about Trump or Biden make me feel hopeless because it seems obvious Trump is going to win?"
