Last week I got a masterclass plus starter for backing sourdough bread bread from @Mdubbelm

My first bread. It looks perfect and is delicious!

She's the best teacher ever.

I would date that bread.

Maybe take it to a show and dinner, buy it a nice necklace or fancy meal, introduce it to my parents.

It’s pretty.

Sadly since I am recently diagnosed celiac, all I can enjoy are its looks. But I am sure it is as lovely on the inside.

I have heard anecdotally about the ongoing enshittification of Google’s Disability Support team responses. Which makes sense; Google got the PR credit on launch and, since it generates no direct revenue, seem to have let it languish.

I just want multi-trillion dollar companies to honor their own commitments. Weird, right?

This is a big reason I find demands that users upgrade to the latest release to be unrealistic, and why companies need to support more versions than “latest minus one” or “current release minus 6 months” or whatever.

Reminds me of current problems with Sonos or Tandem.

@menelion
I agree that’s not how modern programming works. But that is a decision, not inevitable.

If companies had better dev and testing processes, then needing to support older versions would be moot.

For example, this software never should have been deployed, and with no way for users to roll it back, there is a far greater burden on users than devs:
https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/9/24152633/fda-recall-tandem-diabetes-care-insulin-pump-mobile-app

I will be on board with no support for old versions when new versions don’t harm.

@tbaxter Welcome to the ongoing awful state of software! I assume this is not your first time here… this week.

I, for one, am curious how allowing tables (et al) in <option> is going to work when the issue discussing it is deferring to another issue — in which none of them are participating.

The Stack Overflow / OpenAI news does not alarm me too much. There is lots of bad information there. I did a talk on it.

Twice:
• https://adrianroselli.com/2017/09/slides-from-a11ytoconf.html
• https://adrianroselli.com/2018/03/csun-2018-everything-i-know-about-accessibility-i-learned-from-stack-overflow.html

Essentially OpenAI is slurping more crap info so it can regurgitate more crap info. Which, frankly, is kind of its entire value proposition.

Anyway, I am fine with this:

Sure, you signed your rights away when you contributed. But I believe you can still extribute.

Though, given I only signed up to research it for a talk, then stopped answering, and now see my answers are outdated (which may explain why I am approaching a 9,000 reputation score), I am also fine with continuing to ignore it.

Hi @aardrian, @WeatherGod suggested I reach out to you to ask if you know what image metadata screen readers use for alt text.

@story645
Need more context. Where is this screen reader encountering the image? In a document? A web page? The file system?

Looking for TalkBack bug confirmation before I file an issue. Test page:
https://cdpn.io/pen/debug/ExzxwxW

TalkBack does not expose the contents of the tabpanel in the first example (“Auto Tab Panel sans Interactive Child”). Looking for confirmation from another Chrome 124 / TalkBack 14.2 / Android user. Or prior experience.

I filed an issue anyway:

@darin Exactly that. Sounds like you confirmed my experience.

Thanks!

Until JAWS (and TalkBack) fixes its heading level bug and unless Microsoft removes its heading level limit in Windows, heading depth will continue to have a limit.

This may become more obvious if headinglevelstart ever lands.

Granted, most content doesn’t (shouldn’t) need more than 6 levels, so it would (should) be an edge case.

I have no idea why I set this poll to three days, but it closes 8pm ET tomorrow night and it is 20 votes away from 400.

    @joelanman Looks like it doesn’t need to? The SR users in the thread note that the context is apparent from the control and that it would add noise.

    So doesn’t seem to be a priority given existing behavior. Never mind needing to then elevate that to HTML (since ARIA was only supposed to be a bridging technology, it would be good to see if this needs an HTML equivalent, which maybe not).

    Thinking back to that time when WCAG 2.2 first went to review and French company , best known for its SLAPPs, asked to get a side-door added to WCAG for overlays:
