I am once again a bronze supporter of Inclusive Design 24.
I want to see all of you presenting cool stuff (and making me look good as a result), but you won’t get that chance if you don’t submit before 7 June. https://inclusivedesign24.org/2024/
Prior years are up there if you want to see the range of talks that have been accepted in the past.
Chrome / TalkBack bug I first reported in 2020, and which was fixed for a time (?) appears to be back. Looking for confirmation before I file yet another one.
A named region with a tabindex does not expose its contents. Chrome / TalkBack only announces its accName and role.
I think I have an ugly workaround (“Shawarma” heading).
Having a day where I type “aria-labledby”, then correct it to “aria-labeledby”, then correct it to “aria-labelledby”, then correct it to “aria-lable”, then correct it to “aria-label”, then correct it to “<lable>”, then correct it to…
Anyway, gonna work on a <tabel> this afternoon so at least I’ll get a break.
I would be pissed with Google’s new fake search if I was WebAIM. It directly sources WebAIM (from an old survey), but it doesn’t link to the WebAIM survey results it cites. Instead it links to BoIA (an #AudioEye#overlay company) and Assistiv Labs.
The option to see web results is buried in the “More” kebab, and even then the link is third from last.
Reminder not to use Google to search (in case you still do).
@patrick_h_lauke I had heard of other cases where one company was cited but competitors were linked instead. Was surprised to stumble across it on my first use.
I have been reading through the State of HTML 2023 results site (https://2023.stateofhtml.com/) and I am so disappointed in the overall #accessibility efforts — both in the questions and in the code.
I’m tthinking the guy next to me on the plane does not approve of my mask since as soon as the wifi became available he loaded The Drudge Report on his phone and looked for stories about masks (the NC law being the first hit).
I didn't think UIA was quite mature, but I am also old enough to forget Windows’ prior but somehow also current #accessibility APIs. So I may simply be wrong.
Web Platform Baseline does not track browser support for #accessibility features built into the web platform. If you need to understand whether browsers support accessibility features as your own base level set of requirements, for legal or other compliance reasons, then Web Platform Baseline does not represent a baseline.
I have been volunteered to run the “Practical and Complex Examples of ARIA Live” unconference session at #AccessU2024. So come by 116 at noon with your lunch and… unconference.
Today at AccessU I weighed in on a group discussion and one of folks said they were surprised I wasn’t more cynical about the topic. Someone else in a separate chat commented how measured I was in my responses from what they expected. Another wondered why I wasn’t swearing.
I get the sense my online persona might be a lot gruffer than I am IRL. Might need to tweak one of those.
