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.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear an accessibility case — specifically around "standing," or who has grounds to sue. Though SCOTUS's opinion isn't expected until next year, it will address whether civil rights testers, many of whom are disabled themselves, can sue businesses for having inaccessible websites, or if instead, you must have been an intended customer to have standing. @LFLegal's post on this is worth the read!

On October 4 the United States Supreme Court will hear a case about who can file lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Opinion (not expected until 2024) may impact digital accessibility lawsuits. My article about the case is here. It includes links to the audio and transcript of the argument that will be posted. lflegal.com/2023/10/acheson-te… #accessibility #disability #disabled #a11y
