I was shocked last month when @PleaseDontRain was nominated for a Golden Apple award by @AppleVis .
I wrote a blog post with some thoughts about the experience and bunch of tips that will hopefully help others make their app more accessible.

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.

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

Intopia has released the WCAG 2.2 Map to help users understand the latest version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.Chris Pycroft (Intopia Digital)
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.
