Thunder for Lemmy: an excellent iOS app for voiceover users (apps.apple.com)
So I went through about 10 iOS apps on the App Store to see what worked well with voiceover. Thunder is my new fave! customizable accessibility settings, fully labeled interface and easy to tell what you’ve read and voted on. My only wish is that we could have the voiceover actions in the roter.

I tried to make the linked post accessible. Did I? (programming.dev)
I gave my best effort to make a post on a Lemmy instance accessible to the visibly impaired, but I don’t know if what I did was effective. Lemmy doesn’t provide for alt text on image posts, so I figured I would put it in the body of the post. It seem that rind.com hasn’t had much activity. Is Lemmy simply not workable for...
A new accessibility architecture for modern free desktops – GNOME Accessibility (blogs.gnome.org)

But I do know that @matt is an expert with years and years of #accessibility experience in the #a11y space. So it will at least be a step in the right direction: getting the right people...

https://rblind.com/pictrs/image/ebc1a47c-6695-4814-8e09-1a57ade4a948.jpegToday, I took the self-test after finding it on my friend’s profile. When I completed the test, I received a score of 65%, which I understand is a high score that indicates I might be suffering from the disorder. Yes, I am addicted to daydreaming and I...

Unpacking Google’s new “dangerous” Web-Environment-Integrity specification (vivaldi.com)
Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions? The spec does currently specify a carveout for browser modifications and extensions, but those can make automating interactions with a website trivial. So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will...
