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.

“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.

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.

It's a pleasure. It seems that Narrator does it properly. Not sure about JAWS though.
in reply to Amir

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 :)

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.

in reply to Drew Mochak

The audio filter when the time loop kicks in is definitely not new.
in reply to Drew Mochak

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.
in reply to Matt Campbell

That's why, as we discussed on Twitch, we really need proper UI accessibility in games, not in-game TTS or hacks using the screen reader APIs. But I don't have the extra time and energy to bring something like an AccessKit Unity plugin to production on the side.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt That’s totally fair. Unity should be doing the work. Do you think they could use what you have built as a foundation or would they need to start from scratch? I have heard that there were talks and a plan and all that but I have no idea where any of it went. Hoping to learn more at GACon in October.
in reply to Drew Mochak

Yes they could definitely use what we have as a foundation. And of course AccessKit has continued to move forward since that Unity proof of concept 2 years ago, which was Windows only for starters. I'm even about to start on an Android back-end for AccessKit.
in reply to Matt Campbell

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.

Is tab index universally bad? We've used it for a couple of elements (2 of them, exactly) on our site, with a very deliberate ordering...

@miru a value of 0 or -1 is fine. natural numbers are generally a bad idea.

Here’s a fun thing that just happened on my #framework16 running #debian and #gnome on #wayland. I woke my laptop up and typed my password. The built in screen of the laptop (on the left) is working. I can type, work, etc. The external monitor shows only 4 letters typed in the password box, and it’s still acting like it’s locked. If I mouse to that screen the pointer disappears. I’ve never had a laptop unlock one screen but not the other.

My power button is set to suspend. So I pressed the power button, let it suspend, then woke it up again. This time it woke up normally.

Random #Windows tip of the day

What to do if the text on your screen is too small? 👀

Well, there are a few options

If everything is a little small, you might consider changing your scaling in Display Settings

If just one random thing is too small, even if that app doesn't have zoom, you can always pull up Magnifier with WIN + Plus to zoom in (WIN + Minus to zoom out, WIN + Esc to close)

If text in general across Windows is too small, then check out the text size option under Accessibility

In the latest Beta Channel build we've started rolling out text scaling support for the Run dialog, which makes me happy as a big fan of Run
