You may know Allyant (which I pronounce “alley ant”) is the combined form of CommonLook, TBase, and Accessible360.

You may also now Allyable (which I pronounce “snake oil”) is an #overlay vendor.

Apparently Allyable (overlay) was spamming folks on the #DisabilityIN conference app. This resulted in folks regularly visiting the Allyant (combined company) booth thinking it was Allyable (overlay).

An #Uber driver refused to transport me from the Cosmopolitan Hotel to the airport on my way home from the #DisabilityIn conference because I am blind! I have already reported the discrimination with Uber. I am also reporting the incident to the Las Vegas Police Department and I will also be contacting the NV Attorney General's Office. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can call additional attention to this incidet so we reduce the likelihood of it's being repeated? #accessibility #blind

#DisabilityIN The Evinced CEO referred to the W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Working Group as one of the three pillars of creating accessible content. Using it can guarantee “100% accessibility”.

#accessibility #a11y

Slide with three boxes: “A new approach” with an arrow making a hard right turn; “ARIA magic” with icons representing web controls; “Gen AI done right” with an unintentional HAL-9000 circle but in purple.
“ARIA Magic” slide: “ARIA pattern enforcement” with a screen shot of the ARIA Authoring Practices patterns page and an arrow drawn to an IDE with script to control a modal dialog, labeled “unit tester”.
“ARIA Magic” slide: “ARIA pattern enforcement” followed by absolutely giant text “100% accessible,” and then much smaller “the most frequently used parts of our web site”.

I've already heard one heartbreaking #accessibility story here at #DisabilityIn and I'm just wondering how many more I will hear before the week is out? It's already 2024 and disabled people are still losing out on job opportunities due solely to inaccessible software.

I'll be attending the #DisabilityIn Conference next week in Vegas. Is anyone else out here going? Want to meet up? Anyone who is bringing a #BTSpeak? #accessibility
