Hi @Tutanota

I want you to know that your CAPTCHA is inaccessible for disabled people:
- blind people can't see the clock;
- visually impaired people may not be able to see it correctly too;
- dyscalculic people (like me!!) have difficulties reading a clock (moreover when all numbers are not written on it)!

I think this @w3c documentation should interest you to fix it: w3.org/TR/turingtest/

I hope you will do something so that everyone can use your services. Thanks.

A captcha where you need to copy the hour displayed on the image of a clock where you can see 3, 6, 9, 12 and other numbers are dots.

Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA

Various approaches have been employed over many years to distinguish human users of web sites from robots. The traditional CAPTCHA approach asking users to identify obscured text in an image remains common, but other approaches have emerged.

Even completely headless, command line #linux doesn't prioritize #accessibility in any way. Today I had to reinstall an entire #debian system from scratch because a drive listed in my /etc/fstab died. That makes #systemd boot into emergency mode, where you get no SSH, no network, no sound, and no screen reader. There is no quick way to force it to try and boot even though drive 7 of 11 has died, and it could absolutely bring up SSH and the network to let me fix it if it wanted to, just like sysvinit used to do. You can't even force systemd to add SSH and the network to emergency mode because of circular dependencies. nofail will only continue the boot if the drive doesn't exist, but if the filesystem has issues...emergency mode for you. In short: if your drive dies on Linux, fuck you. Be able to see, or reinstall your entire system, because nobody in Linuxland gives a shit about #a11y or your needs.

Spent the last 6 hours trying to get a hello world equivalent gui window with a button on rust under windows.

This task which one might think is simple ended up taking literal hours and still hasn't been achieved because: the tutorials for gtk on windows and rust suggest putting msys2 bin directory on the path. This causes rust to fail to build correctly because it uses the wrong gcc and linkers.
Afterwards I managed it by using the appropriate environment variables.
But then I found out the dynamically linked libarries weren't found. I tried getting a way to copy them but it turned out to be too much work so I just moved the executable to the same dir.
Only to find out that gtk4 has no accessibility on Windows. Not bad accessibility, not accessibility that needs to be turned on. No. Accessibility. At all.
So then I decided to try Qt, which wants me to create an account to get an installer. Absolute no.
Got the 1.5gb sources and trying now to get an off-line installer out of it.

To get a fucking window with a button in it.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to say this state of affairs is complete bullshit, and that most people with a normal level of motivation would have found plenty of opportunities to have given up. I still might.

(Not using NWG because tying the data to the GUI elements is non-trivial, it seems to require copying a lot and using twice the memory.)

VO/desktop bug via @elly:

Using this pen:

We both experience VO ignoring the start of most sentences when using read-all.

Is this a known issue?

It’s a bit of a pain to pepper updates within the sections of the post, so just scroll down to the latest update and work your way back up. Considering how much I charge for this site, I am hoping my readers will accept the extra effort.

I'm really happy we can finally announce some #lemmy#accessibility work myself, @MostlyBlindGamer, @dhamlinmusic, and the other Rblind admins have been working on for a while. We've just released two open-source themes, light and dark, for Lemmy that should be more accessible and usable for #blind and low vision folks. You can read the details, and please provide feedback, here: www.rblind.com/post/3476242#a11y#fediverse#opensource

You know how many of the popular apps we use to check the weather offer the data of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute as an option? Having recently learnt that Norway has one of the most stringent laws on accessibility in Europe, I have decided to check their official app for iOS and am not disappointed. It found my current location in Poland without a problem, albeit with a typo for some reason. It also provided webcam imagery from my hometown - this of course is not accessible. It remains to be seen how accurate the data really is long-term. About the accessibility: the data presented is grouped as it should so it is read out in one cluster for each 3-hour segment. Custom hints will let you know that by tapping twice, the hourly forecast is expanded. In the 10-day view, each day is a heading. Unfortunately, the graphs are not accessible despite the API's for this being available for some years now. Other than that, the app is very simple and convenient to use so if you're looking for something uncomplicated to check your local weather, you can try YR. No idea how accessible that is under Android but I expect the experience might be similar apps.apple.com/pl/app/yr/id490… #Accessibility #A11y #Blind

In other words, screw pedestrians, especially blind and other disabled people!

Waymo robotaxis, which are now ubiquitous in parts of CA, will often not stop for pedestrians using crosswalks there, unless a pedestrian is far into the road.

Tag 1, 23.30 Uhr: wir haben die ersten taktilen Stockwerkspläne (in Version 1.0) ausgerollt 🥳
Vielen lieben Dank an die großartigen Engelund Maschinist_innen, die das möglich gemacht haben. Wir freuen uns auf eure Rückmeldungen 💜 #38C3 #a11y #accessibility
Blick auf einen quadratischen Tisch, von oben. Auf dem Tisch ist ein taktiler Plan des Erdgeschosses des CCH festgemacht. Der Plan besteht aus vier Stück schwarzem Stoff, die zusammen genäht wurden. Der Grundriss des Stockwerks wurde mit weißem Garn eingestickt. Zusätzlich wurden 3D-gedruckte Plättchen angenäht, die einzelne Buchstaben oder Ziffern in Profilschrift enthalten. Rechts unten erklärt eine Legende die verschiedenen Stick-Stiche in Profilschrift und Braille.
