It is an alternative expression of the Aural UI of the role of an element.

inappropriately using aria-roledescription may inhibit users’ ability to understand or interact with an element.
ARIA 1.1

The wrong way to use aria-roledescription and call out someone as a fascist:

code

<img aria-roledescription="fascist" src="dt.PNG"
alt="Donald Trump">

This is wrong because you are not identifying the subject of the image as a fascist, you are overwriting the <img> element role so it effectively becomes a <fascist> element. Also, there is no explicit text identification of the subject as a fascist.

A much better way to achieve the aim of identifying a fascist (and not misusing aria-roledescription):
Example of a fascist
code
<figure>
<figcaption>Example of a fascist</figcaption>
<img src="dt.PNG" alt="Donald Trump">
</figure>

i love how apple's hardware devices ship day one with substantial accessibility built in -- here's a video overview of #a11y features on #VisionPro.

been fun to be part of the conversations over the years, super proud of the teams that shipped all this --

Day 1 was more subdued, but it was very productive, with discussions about rendering architecture, GL and Vulkan, and accessibility. Matthias and I have also worked on making the Text interface for accessible objects public, and we’re pretty close to finishing the merge request

If you're adapting your app for #AppleVisionPro, you've probably added `contentShape` to your custom button styles to get a better `.hoverEffect()`

This also has a nicer side effect for VoiceOver highlighting, as it will now match the actual UI element!
