Don't Use Fixed CSS height or width on Buttons, Links, or Any Other Text Containers | Ashlee M Boyer

Not picking on anyone, but I just saw someone asking devs not to use "2FA" in user messages, and instead use "two factor authentication."
2FA is 3 syllables. Two factor authentication is 8.
From my #a11y use case, 2FA is an accommodation.
I would argue that there's already an HTML way to solve this problem, and that's the html abbr element with the title attribute.

I recently discovered a feature for moderators where you can help with accessibility. When moderating a hashtag, you can change its display name to replace lower-case with upper-case letters. This will help both dyslexics and vision impaired people.
If you can afford an extra minute or two to fix these while moderating trends, it will make them easier to read for everybody, especially the really long tags in hashtag games.

Just talking about audio chat, I recently tried out #Audon, which is a web-based audio chat for mastodon and fedi accounts. You can try it on audon.space/
The #a11y is not perfect, but it can be used. First time you use it you need to authorise it with your fedi account. After that, if you're the host of a room, you need to authorise people coming in. If you just want to join a room the host should give you the link, which you can get from the address bar, and that's it.

Op Mastodon praat ik wel vaak over #toegankelijkheid, maar bijna nooit over mijn werk (expres). Maar vandaag mag eindelijk het nieuws naar buiten dat het bedrijf waar ik werk, Firm Ground, gekocht is door Swink.

Voor mijzelf was de aanloop hier naartoe nogal stressvol. Ik hoop dat de rust in mijn werkende leven nu een beetje terug kan komen.
Ik heb opeens veel nieuwe collega's en een kantoor in Amsterdam, niet bepaald om de hoek.
Effe wennen!
Swink en Firm Ground gaan samen verder

Oort seems like a pretty fun Rust programming game. The idea is that you get to program ships to engage in space combat. Similar to other games such as Space Traders.
The idea is pretty cool, but it uses a web editor to input the code and it is not accessible, so I can't use it. Pity.

A unique multiplayer game built on a free Web API. The best sandbox platform to learn a new skill or apply your knowledge in a fun and meaningful way. Use any programming language with our RESTful API to control the most powerful fleet in universe.spacetraders.io
