Apple’s ‘liquid glass’ contrast hilarity is now a bullet on my post “I Don’t Care What Google or Apple or Whoever Did”

@Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺 @Jayson Smith @Nick Giannak III If you are still testing deltachat, I managed to run my #chatmail relay and it's working for a few weeks for me.
I have created a groupchat where I'd like to invite other screen reader users.
As I have posted a few times recently, #deltachat people do really care about screen reader #a11y so while testing and something is not working the way you would expect lets describe it in details, and report it properly.

Here's the link to that group chat I'm talking about

Everyone should be doing what Home Connect is doing and we all would have a much easier time picking our household devices. Home Connect is a common smart household appliances platform for everything by Siemens, Bosch and Guggenau. They let you, without creating accounts and anything, add a virtual device of any type, to play with its control interface via the app. A great way to evaluate the accessibility, which by the way is a great and is 100 percent a planned endeavour, while playing with a fantasy coffee or washing machine. #Accessibility #A11y #Blind

It's really bugging me that I need to replace a `<fieldset>` with a `div` prepped up with ARIA attributes because Chrome has a decade old layout bug. #webdev #a11y

Heute ist #Sehbehindertentag!

Der @DBSV thematisiert #Touchscreens

Oft sind sie der einzige Weg, um an #Informationen und #Dienstleistungen zu gelangen. Es ist deshalb wichtig, dass Touchscreens auch von Menschen mit #Seheinschränkung #barrierefrei genutzt werden können.

Ein #sehenswertes #Video des #DBSV gibt es dazu (bisher leider) nur auf YouTube:

SoapBox: I love the AI tools like CoPilot and Gemini, but I'd appreciate some more thoughtful design for those with Blindness and Low Vision. I'm on CoPiolot and it does a great job of treating its responses as ARIA-Live events so JAWS reads them out promptly, but it loves to talk in MarkDown.Example: **Steps to Baking Cake** steps 1.**Preheat Oven** to 400 Degrees. The Markdown is just littering the whole experience, if I could save a default preference telling it I'm Blind and using a screen reader so please never respond using MarkDown or Visual Descriptions, that would be a huge win! #a11y

WordPress may be run by… that guy, but it still has a massive user base. They all need better accessibility documentation.

@rianrietveld wants to improve it, but needs sponsors:

Rian is good people and I’d love for her to be able to do this.

WordPress needs documentation about accessibility, help me work on it - Rian Rietveld

The goal During my 25 years working as a web accessibility specialist I noticed the biggest hurdle to create an accessible web, is the lack of knowledge.

Edit, vu que malgré suppression du raccourci dans LibreOffice, ça ne marche toujours pas.
Du coup, nouvelle question : est-ce que le raccourci NVDA + F7 est valable dans LibreOffice pour ouvrir la liste des éléments ?
Si non, y'a un autre raccourci ? Un truc particulier à faire ?
Jeter ma Surface ?
(Je vous vois les libristes 🙄)
----

Hm, est-ce que chez vous, dans #LibreOffice writer, le raccourci pour l'orthographe c'est aussi F7 ? [Eu la réponse déjà]

Ça entre en conflit avec le raccourci du lecteur d'écran #NVDA pour voir la liste des objets, et je ne sais pas si c'est "normal" (pas possible sous LibreOffice alors que c'est dit possible sous Microsoft office ?), ou juste que ma surface pro arrive pas à bien gérer quoi contrôle quoi...

J'ai tenté en prenant un clavier normal aussi, parce que la touche NVDA sur le clavier surface est relou à faire, donc je pensais que c'était p't'être ça, mais non.
Et pourtant quand j'active l'aide à la saisie, ça me dit bien que c'est le bon raccourci avec F7🤷‍♀️

Just published a blog post tearing into hCaptcha’s so-called “accessibility” mode.

It’s not accessibility. It’s a cookie. And to get that cookie, you now have to submit your email and send a code via SMS to an U.S. phone number. It fails silently. It doesn’t confirm anything. You click “Confirm Code” and get “An error has occurred.” No cookie. No fallback. No support. And if you somehow get it? It’s a third-party cookie your browser probably blocks, and it expires. Then you get to do it all again.

Meanwhile, hCaptcha’s text-based challenge — the only mode that might actually work with a screen reader — isn’t tied to the cookie at all. It only shows up if the website owner specifically enables it. Most don’t. So even if you’re blind, even if you’re using assistive tech, you get the same unusable image grid as everyone else.

This isn’t accessibility. It’s exclusion wrapped in PR.

The blog post breaks it all down: how the cookie flow works (or doesn’t), why the system is broken by design, how developers got misled, and what real alternatives look like. If you care about accessible design or just want to understand how bad this gets, read it.

One of my closest and longest friends is starting a new YouTube channel documenting his journey to fulfill a life-long dream of his. Even though he's low vision, through a new program available in Ontario, he has the opportunity to gain his drivers license via the use of a bioptic telescope. If you love cars as much as he does, are just curious, or are a low vision person interested in what a program like this could mean for you, check out his first video on the channel! As far as I know, this is the first time someone has documented the journey of learning to drive with a bioptic telescope from day one, from the perspective of a person with a disability, rather than a doctor or other medical professional. You can find the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GZdw1CzYtI#a11y#cars#driving#accessibility#disability

Einfach ist manchmal schwer!

Welche Kriterien gelten für barrierefreie Apps und wie gestaltet man eine solche?

Charlotte Voß und Michael Ahlf sprachen über ihre Vorgehensweise für die #Deutschlandfunk #App.

Die Frage, ob #Code im Sinne von #PublicMoneyPublicCode als #OpenSource bereitgestellt wird, konnte leider nicht beantwortet werden.

Das wäre bestimmt eine Möglichkeit best practice weiteren App Projekten zugänglich zu machen.

Another piece of cool, open source, user repairable #linux #hardware ordered because #accessibility focused guides on user-repairable hardware basically don't exist. I can't wait to evaluate it and make a post series about the experience. Maybe with some videos! I need a Patrion or something if I keep this up, but oh well. It's fun and people seem to enjoy what I have to say. #mnt #linuxHardware #a11y #openSource #foss #openHardware

Auf dem Weg zur re:publica?

Gerne dran denken, die #OpenStop #App bereit zu halten, wenn man am Bahnsteig oder der Bushaltestelle, warten muss:

kom-in.de/170/openstop-haltest…
Mit der App #StreetComplete geht das auch sehr gut...

Damit können #Barrieren oder Barrierefreiheitsdaten eingetragen werden.

Menschen mit #Behinderung hilft dies beim Planen von Reisen und Wegen.

Sind diese Daten für einen selbst nicht relevant, hilft es vielleicht, auch selbst sensibler zu werden für unsere Mitmenschen.

**update**: If you are using this post as some kind of call-to-action to harass and attack the GOS developers, please don't.

That damages everyone. You, them, and myself. It's not helpful.

**Update two**. I have made the decision to pull this post. It is not a good starting-point for a discussion, and just encourages defensiveness on both sides – when there really aren't sides here at all.

As a FOSS contributor, I am deeply ashamed at the way I approached this out of frustration.

Request to Google on accessibility

I know we have a bunch of people who are more or less into slightly unusual tech here, so figured I would ask. Does anyone know of a #bitcoin hot #wallet which has #A11y for #blind users? I don't care if it's #Jaws or #NVDA which works with it, but do prefer #Windows if at all possible. Accessibility, though, is the main thing. If anyone knows of one which works well with #Voiceover on #iOS, or even with TB on #Android, I'd appreciate hearing of it. Boosts would, of course, be very welcome.

Hey, ich möchte wieder Artikel zu #Barrierefreiheit unter #Linux machen. Ich suche Linux-User*innen mit Behinderung, die mir zeigen, wie sie Linux verwenden und wo da Barrieren für sie sind oder sogar Lust haben, selber einen Artikel zu dem Thema zu schreiben. Mein erstes Interesse gilt, ob und wie moderne Linux-Desktops für blinde oder sehbehinderte Menschen bedienbar sind.

Schreibt mir gerne an ktn@ct.de oder kontaktiert mich via DM/Private Erwähnung.
