Am I misunderstanding something or does this article indicate that adding menu/menuitem roles somehow ensure keyboard operability of dropdown menus? (They don’t.) The use of <ul>/<li> elements is also superfluous as the added roles mean it could be just <div>s. Not a bad practice, but the article seems to indicate using a list is somehow helpful to AT users. (It isn’t.) I’d also recommend the aria-haspopup=menu (although equivalent to true, it’s more specific).

In fact, using the menu roles in the wrong way can have serious repercussions on the screen reader experience, since for historic reasons, menu systems need special handling, especially on Windows, but the Mac has some similar mechanisms where wrongly used menu roles can put VoiceOver in an undesired state where strange things occur. I wrote an article about that in 2018 or so, outlining some of the problems. And of course, the fact that ARIA roles don't change browser behaviour or add keyboard functionality is as true today as it was 20 years ago when ARIA was first conceived.

Der 30jährige staatenlose Robert A., der seit kurz nach der Geburt in Chemnitz lebt wird in ein Land abgeschoben, in dem er nie lebte, dessen Sprache er nicht spricht, dessen Kultur er nicht kennt. Unsere Normalität eines autoritären Kapitalismus: Menschen abschieben, die ihr Leben lang gut integriert waren und nichts anderes als diese Kultur und Sprache kennen, ohne Notlage Grenzen schließen, der permanente Überbietungswettbewerb in Forderung und Härte gegen Fremde als politischer Grundkonsens.
Illustration dreier Menschen in dunklen Business-Anzügen die unbeteiligt und teilnahmslos wirkend mit den Händen in den Hosentaschen neben der Leiche des kleinen Jungen Alan Kurdi am Strand stehen, dessen Bild seit seinem Tod 2020 für die Unmenschlichkeit der Flüchtlingspolitik steht. Textzeile: Wer fordert die Grenzen zu schließen, meint die Grenzen der Menschlichkeit.

When I think about reading, the activity, I think of it as something distinct from listening to an audiobook. I enjoy the physical and mental act of reading. It is recreational for me in a way that listening to an audiobook isn’t.

But I do love and listen to audiobooks, and listening to audiobooks “counts” as reading, whatever that means. If you ask me what books I’ve read, I’m going to list those I’ve read and those I’ve listened to (and in some cases I’m probably not going to remember which is which). urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou…

72 Stunden – insbesondere über ein Wochenende – sind kaum ausreichend sind, um auf ein hochkomplexes Gesetzesvorhaben in angemessener Weise zu reagieren.

Die betroffenen Verbände und Organisationen, darunter auch der Verein Tacheles e.V., hatten gerade einmal drei Tage Zeit, um eine Stellungnahme zu einem Gesetz zu verfassen, das weitreichende Veränderungen im Bereich der Bürgergeldgesetze und Arbeitsförderung vorsieht.

This deserves a highlight:
"Two years ago, one of us (A.C.) made a prediction in Fortune Magazine that a few years of ‘learning to live with’ COVID (i.e., pretending it doesn’t exist) would lead to a billion cases of Long COVID. A recent estimate pegs the total incidence so far at 400 million cases of Long COVID. Long COVID is well on its way to becoming the world’s most common disease."

re: FediMeta, a bit glib

@Ezzy @hazelnoot well it’s hosted on hetzner servers. the top post listed pieces of software, not hosting providers.

honestly pleroma is below my threshold for “automatically be very suspicious of this instance” given how it’s still popular for single-user instances. in replies, i singled out the top three but not the top four for a reason.

I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.

Many calendars use email to send reminders. Unfortunately, this can overshare data with mail servers & 3rd-party notification services.

At Tuta, we're doing something different.

I found a great, brief resource on creating accessible web pages and documents. It only highlights most common accessibility issues, so it's much less overwhelming than the WCAG. I think it's a great resource for people who don't know where to start! Also it has before and after examples, so it's great to demo with a screen reader as well! #accessibility washington.edu/accesscomputing…

Greta Thunberg joined our United for Climate Justice coalition today and our blockade of a busy Brussels' street.
This disruption of traffic and of business as usual is nothing in comparison to what the climate catastrophe will wreak.
We need urgent action now, but we're still rushing headlong into a terrifying future, all for the sake of greed and growth.
