Is it just me, or is the interface for searching in #thunderbird really clunky with #NVDAsr? Seems like it takes a lot of steps just to view the list of results. I find myself resorting to iOS mail if I need to track down a message from a few days ago. Is it better with a different #Screenreader? #accessibility #a11y #Jaws #JFW


New blog post: Enhancing Accessibility with AI and ML

We discuss how to specialize #AI for understanding UI for #a11y testing, the importance of algorithm and data integrity, and how #ML can be used to simplify #a11y testing. deque.com/blog/enhancing-acces…

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.

Ensuring negative numbers are available for everyone. "The minus character (−) yields great support in most screen readers, and suffers less situational gotchas than the hyphen-minus character"

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!

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.
