If you purchase a company that has:
• lied about “ADA compliance”,
• stolen content from others,
• relied on false advertising,
• pushed its broken LLM,
• manipulated WAVE checks,
• claimed lawsuit protection,
…and then reward that behavior by making its CEO / founder the president of your own company, then I am wary of claims the behavior will stop.

The European Commission explains that accessibility overlays aren't able to make sites accessible, and can make sites **less** accessible. Promises of an easy solution that skips the work of making a site accessible don't stand up.

"Most importantly, tooltips should only provide descriptive and non-essential text, giving slightly more detailed text for active elements such as links and form controls. Ultimately, they provide expendable text which is already on the web page."

Adobe has just added AltText & Extended Description to the IPTC fields supported by Lightroom Classic (I requested this feature in March 2022 & just got word that they've added it). This is potentially huge for anyone who uses LR to prep images for social media, e.g. Mastodon, or the Web.
@paul Could Ivory automatically read these fields & use them to populate the alt-text on image posts? (Read Ext. Desc. first, fallback to AltText?)

I don't think #WebAIM has an account on the fediverse yet, but the 10th iteration of their Screen Ready survey is now live.
The vital #a11y insights created from these surveys help inform our understanding of the technological and usability landscape. This helps to shape how accessible, and importantly usable experiences are created on the web.

Call to the global accessibility community. An overlay company won a 26,000 Euro judgment against accessibility consultancy Koena, a woman-owned 7 person shop run by @armonyaltinier. Koena was sued for sharing its opinion, as part of the global public conversation about the overlay company's one-line-of-code product.
I'm supporting Koena's fundraising campaign to raise money to appeal the judgment. Learn how you can help: lflegal.com/2021/11/overlay-le… #accessibility #a11y
