There's a tonne of development energy going into #Lemmy at the moment. I might see if I can raise a PR to fix your issue later when I get to my laptop. Keep raising these issues! #Accessibility issues are difficult to see for people who don't need tools like screen readers, so its great when people who do make their voices heard.

#a11y #Accessibility

The “#a11y is not accessible” discussion wants to get back to the early 2010s.

It’s a signifier, for some users (for example who are dyslexic) it’s easier to type, you need some explanation, like any in-group language. Even accessibility needs explanation.

It’s not a big deal and the energy is better used elsewhere.

In times when Reddit fades away, accessibility-wise, the dev of HackerNewt, a pretty new HackerNews iOS client has submitted their first #Accessibility patches. The work is not complete yet, but this is the best I've seen in a HN client so far with almost everything labelled. The proper grouping of items and rotor actions are still planned. Feel free to check it out: apps.apple.com/app/id644820197…. Feel free to join our discussion on the app's bug tracker, especially the point on the comment's section. I have a feeling this could be done like in Dystopia but the dev thinks otherwise. Any tips? github.com/devandsev/HackerNew…

One way to put an amazing new audio interface through its paces is to record a demo and review of it. So here you go, this is my take on the Audient Evo 16 and it’s brilliant #accessibility features.

⌨️ Nielsen Norman Group research on how screen-reader users type on and control mobile devices

“Summary: Users who are blind or have low vision prefer dictation over typing with a keyboard whenever possible. Screen readers on touchscreen devices are restricted to a well-defined set of gestures which makes interaction more challenging than on computers.”

.@w3c WCAG should not be developed/designed for the benefit of #accessibility testing vendors. It is there to improve the user experience of disabled people.

I am horrified to say that it is mid-2023 and browsers are moving backward on accessibility support for elements with CSS display properties.

Chrome decided anything with `display: contents` is just text. Safari regressed overall but did tables dirty.

Firefox is the only one to have improved and now has the best support overall.

It’s Mid-2022 and Browsers (Mostly Safari) Still Break Accessibility via Display Properties

It was late 2020 when I last tested how browsers use CSS display properties to break the semantics of elements.

Is it groovy that #Microsoft has such an engaged #accessibility team? Yup. Is it a downer that they continue to post on a platform that fired its entire accessibility team and killed off the third-party accessibility tools, while ignoring this one? Hell yup. So if you missed it, here’s their #GAAD blog post. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-iss…
