I'm hoping Games for Blind Gamers 3 jam will be the most successful yet! Why not click join and think about making a blind accessible game? Even a short one is great! itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-ga… #GameDev #IndieDev #A11y #accessibility


The folks over at @koena have been bullied by French #overlay vendor #FACILiti (and are not the only ones). France does not have the same anti-SLAPP protections as I did in my own case.

Koena can use your help:

Building and coordinating a team to support the GNOME project is one of the most fulfilling job I've had.

I find these are some of the biggest challenges

• Lots of people and organizations to coordinate with 🗺️
• Some projects are cans of worms 🥫🐛
• So many things to do 🏃

But it's very rewarding and everyone is brilliant and passionate.

I think I'll start sharing more personal updates on our efforts

Koena lost a judgment to overlay vendor FACIL’iti (I have opinions on crap anti-SLAPP protections in France).

For those interested in accessibility and #3DPrinting, I need people to comment on the following Github issue. Prusa Slicer has always had accessibility issues for screen reader users, but the latest versions have gotten much worse. #a11y #prusa github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer…


It’s #DisabilityPrideMonth and through sheer coincidence we’re releasing some cool new #a11y features this month and have more currently in preview for next month. Special shoutouts to @lenemter here for working on color assistance filters, fixing the screen reader shortcut on the greeter, and more. Can’t wait to write up everything we’ve been doing to make @elementary OS more inclusive and accessible!

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.
