How to Convince People to Care and Invest in Accessibility

#accessibility #a11y


I'm taking ideas for possible web based apps or services (including possible games) that could benefit/entertain blind, partially sighted, or other disabled people. While I won't spend full time on this, I'll spend some time programming. Depending on the difficulty of the project, the resulting product/service may be free. With games, I'm aiming for more casual than not.

#PastPuzzle improved in #accessibility

As a developer, I try to make my software as accessible as possible for everyone. Unfortunately, I often lack a view from the user's perspective. I received a list from @dankeck with at least 10 suggestions for improvements, most of which I implemented in one night as if in a fever dream. The game is probably still a long way from being a screen reader user's dream, but I'm doing my best. Step by step! #webdev #a11y

as the debate about "if there are no gaps, then the video *can't* have any audio description, so it *passes* 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 automatically without needing to do anything at all" rages on, I made a little illustrative video ... youtube.com/watch?v=nZjWBjN1YF… #a11y #accessibility #barrierefreiheit


`aria-label` still does not (consistently) translate.

Unless you only translate never-hidden content, your `aria-label`s never change, your content is an arbitrary subset of maybe only a dozen languages, and it never has a `<code>` element.

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

How would you assess what types of descriptions are useful for an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)? It would need to be a valid description of the barriers involved, but anything else? When building towards an #OpenACR or more commonly a #VPAT what is a good comment? #Accessibility #A11y

Is there anyone who is in the #vi #broadcasting space who would like to fill in any open slots in their station programming? I have a buddy who would like to learn this skill and get some experience with today's tool chain. My experience is limited to the #winamp / #shoutcast setup that was used years ago. #a11y #internet #radio

Can anyone recommend a modern body weight scale that is accessible, either via self-voicing, or bluetooth connection? If via self-voicing, anything that doesn't shout the measured weight so loud, that anyone within 500 feet can hear it? Anyone who has used these products in the past will most certainly be aware that the "blind equals deaf" stereotype that is clearly pervasive in the overwhelming majority of these products. I'm hoping there is something out there that does not make this assumption, and has a volume adjustment beyond mute and yell.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

"Leclerc, Carrefour, Auchan et Picard mis en demeure par des associations d'aveugles et de malvoyants pour leur sites"

"Contactées par France Inter, seules les enseignes Carrefour et Picard ont répondu à nos sollicitations. Carrefour se dit étonné de cette mise en demeure et déclare que son site marchand atteint un taux d’accessibilité de 71%. Le spécialiste des surgelés Picard revendique lui un niveau de 56%. Les deux entreprises affirment avoir engagé un plan d’amélioration sur plusieurs années."


Non mais alors là, pardon mais 🤣

Le seul taux attendu c'est 100%, en deça, ça ne signifie rien en tant que tel. On peut avoir 90% de conformité au RGAA et avoir un problème bloquant. Donc y'a pas à se vanter d'un taux sous 100%.

Ces entreprises sont au courant du problème depuis longtemps, c'est pas la découverte. On va pas pouvoir dire qu'elles ont un problème de moyen financier. Alors on arrête de se trouver des excuses hein.

Dear #disabled #gamers, for an introduction on #accessibility in #games I am looking for recent accessibility fails in games, especially AAA or otherwise famous games. If you are comfortable with me sharing your anecdotes on a talk (anonymized if you wish), let me know your stories. Which game do you wish to play but can't? Which studio promised a11y features but let you down in some way? #a11y

The overlay shill is not just a shill, but an overlay vendor itself.

It may have failed to disclose that when asking for, and engaging in, a “balanced” and “open” debate about overlays on LinkedIn.

Overlay vendors continue to be ethically dubious (at best).

#overlay #accessibility #a11y


What the fuck is it with #overlay companies and their apologists commenting on my blog?

I got two today (on the same post):
adrianroselli.com/2025/01/ftc-…

They are promoting their water-carrying shill-piece over on LinkedIn.
