If you purchase a company that has: ā¢ lied about āADA complianceā, ā¢ stolen content from others, ā¢ relied on false advertising, ā¢ pushed its broken LLM, ā¢ manipulated WAVE checks, ā¢ claimed lawsuit protection,
ā¦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.
Web accessibility overlays are tools or technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. However, claims that a website can be made fully compliant in an automated fashion are not realistic.

Web accessibility overlays are tools or technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. However, claims that a website can be made fully compliant in an automated fashion are not realistic.
"Most importantly, tooltips should only provide descriptive and non-essential text, giving slightly more detailed text for active elements such as links and form controls. Ultimately, they provide expendable text which is already on the web page."
Great in-depth article about #tooltips by Jan Hellbusch. He knows what he's talking about, had the pleasure to be in one of his workshops and he's an absolute pro. š¤Æ
Adobe has just added AltText & Extended Description to the IPTC fields supported by Lightroom Classic (I requested this feature in March 2022 & just got word that they've added it). This is potentially huge for anyone who uses LR to prep images for social media, e.g. Mastodon, or the Web.
@paul Could Ivory automatically read these fields & use them to populate the alt-text on image posts? (Read Ext. Desc. first, fallback to AltText?)

Call to the global accessibility community. An overlay company won a 26,000 Euro judgment against accessibility consultancy Koena, a woman-owned 7 person shop run by @armonyaltinier.

I have some other questions in this area. Safari removes list semantics if you remove the bullets (with exceptions, such as if the list is a child of "nav"), due to alleged "list-itis". At what point do lists become inappropriate? If I have a list of blog posts, and I format them as cards, with a heading, publish date, summary, and an image, is that too much content for each <li>?
Also, MDN and WHATWG point out not all links should be contained in navs (such as footer links), and "nav" should instead signal major blocks of navigation links. Would my prior example of a list of blog posts count as a major block? Should I enclose my list of blog posts in a nav? Does that extend to all section, category, and tag pages listing pages in that section/category/tag?
Feel free to respond if you have opinions, but keep it civil, and boosts are appreciated.
