There were a lot of #webinars for #GAAD 2024, too many to attend them all. But a lot of them were recorded, so I rounded up links to 30 or so #OnDemand webinars and videos and put them into a blog post.

This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

Socks, lies, and accessibility
Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is around the corner. Looking back at last year, I found some troubling things people in this field should be aware of. Because they're likely to be repeated.Jan Maarten (Jan Maarten – Inclusive designer, privacy advocate, writer)
Chromebooks already have great screen reading capabilities built in...
Awww Google, how cute of you. Great? Nope. Next time, remember. Nothing about us, **without us**. ChromeVox has barely been updated in *years*, just like VoiceOver for Mac, and Narrator. ChromeVox barely has any options for fine-tuning verbosity, keyboard commands, pronunciation, and some keyboard commands, like Search + Control + A for accessibility actions, aren't even well-documented. I should know. I had to use an Acer Spin 713 for a good 3 months as my primary laptop. So kindly stop talking, then ask, then act before you speak further.
"Updated keyboard shortcuts and first-letters navigation in Google Drive"...
First letters navigation? Come on. Any blind person can *tell* that this wasn't written by anyone who uses these technologies.
And nowhere in this article is anything new for ChromeVox. See? This is the kind of, frankly, bullshit that I hate on GAAD. Just shut your mouth and listen for once.
