experts, what would be the proper HTML metadata representation to link a text page to an audio representation of its content? Would that be the OpenGraph "og:audio" meta element?

If so, is this supported by browsers so that, for example, a blind person could visit a web site and their screen reader could tell them "here is a version of this page as narrated by a human".

(I'm not talking about text-to-speech generated content, but a human-recorded audio narration.)

JanosSitar,

@xahteiwi it’s still a link so 2.4.4 link purpose still applies where your label text needs to explain the link

Here’s a potential option if your own sofa isn’t comfortable enough. Netflix is planning to open retail sites, each one called “Netflix House,” across the U.S. The first two of these stores will open in 2025. AndroidAuthority has more: https://flip.it/47vf0n

Why is this not a thing always?

"Japanese brewers include braille on their beer cans to prevent the blind from mistaking alcohol for soft drinks."

JanosSitar,

@ned all tinned food should have a universal symbol system for the blind and in case the label is missing

Spotify tests using AI to automatically clone and translate podcast voices

Feature hopes to remove language barriers, but will speakers know if translations are faulty?

JanosSitar,

@arstechnica they should spend the money from researching AI to just pay people to make localized versions

@film_girl it’s interesting how they’re using accessibility features as a precursor to a more powerful system feature and a universal gesture for the headset

@9to5Mac Apple’s going to grease the wheels for developers by building in eye tracking support into iOS and macOS and the Vision Pro will use the same inputs

There was a secret feature of the bed of Odysseus & Penelope. Penelope used it to guard against random men who kept showing up pretending to be her long absent husband.

One bedpost was a living olive tree. So, Penelope would make some remark about 'moving the bed to a new room--' and when the latest rando who had shown up didn't act surprised she knew he was phoney.

This idea of a bed with a "living bed post" haunts me daily.

How did it interface with the tesserae of their bedroom floor?

JanosSitar,

@futurebird I always assumed it was because of the beards even though Odysseus had a pretty distinct physique. But it’s also a warning in reverse to men not to try this scam because you don’t know the secrets of a married couple’s bed and it could get you killed

I just saw a serious page that noted the amount of data in a single sperm is almost 800 MB, and for an entire "load" of sperm around 220 TB. And then: "That's a lot of information to swallow."

So glad I wasn't holding my coffee mug at the time.

I try to not think too much about the fact that while smartphones and Chromebooks (and various other computers and hi-tech devices) are generally recommended to be replaced after a handful of years since they no longer receive crucial updates, I was just now able to easily order a new, inexpensive electrical replacement part specifically for my exact model 1960s era dishwasher.
