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/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.

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.

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.

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:

A shout-out to the "Alt4You" gang, the unsung heroes of the fediverse.

And a reminder that if you run out of spoons or struggle with describing an image, the "Alt4Me" hashtag also exists.

You don’t have to be caught up in the Drake / Kendrick Lamar drama to know there are better memes to use than that Drake one.

Which you can customize:

As part of your larger effort at more accessible memes:

I know there are some fediverse apps with features that make adding alt text easier, some using image detection, etc. Can anyone point me to any write-ups on these?

My notes in #notion are slowly growing while preparing for the #cpacc exam using the #deque preparation course.

While I assume that the little quizzes don't represent the questions in the exam, they give me somewhat of an indication where I'm at.

Pretty much all of them were easy, but once they're gonna ask me for statistic numbers, I might be screwed.

“Level-Setting Heading Levels”
https://adrianroselli.com/2024/05/level-setting-heading-levels.html

TL;DR: Avoid setting heading levels greater than six (6). This applies whether using aria-level or the proposed headingstart HTML attribute. Use HTML <h#> elements whenever possible.

Le site de propose de temps en temps des articles intéressants, mais son design arrache la rétine (par pitié, Slate, virez le designer qui a cru bon de baser tout le design sur le jaune et le blanc >.<).
J'ai créé un userscript qui améliore le contraste général du site : https://greasyfork.org/fr/scripts/494381-fix-korii-s-redability

C'est pas parfait, mais bon.

“We use hurzpurz 72 and snomdrum 98 to build this website really fast. It was easy to work with and what a great site did we relaunch!!”

“But it’s not accessible, is it?”

“…”

Every inaccessible relaunch is a missed opportunity. Inaccessible relaunches must stop. Now.

Does anyone know if there are any (or other) concerns using <details> for collapsing a <nav> on mobile?

I honestly enjoy writing good, descriptive alt text. Once you get used to it, it's no longer a chore, rather a fun exercise.

It gives you an opportunity to focus on the image you're sharing, sometimes revealing details you might miss.

It's a great writing challenge as well.

And it's just the right thing to do to help folks who rely on it.

stefan,
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online avatar

Speaking of challenging, data visualizations are definitely up there.

It's interesting to look at how different people approach these types of charts, for example.

Currently studying for the #cpacc exam and I found the #legal part surprisingly interesting. This topic was also relevant in a workshop I gave, so here's a couple of law suits that are #accessibility related:

I'm happy to expand this list if you know other interesting cases. 🤗

…“Sorry, we couldn’t spend any of our ridiculous market over-valuation on a decent web designer, or on a developer who had any care or clue about keyboard accessibility, we were too busy stealing your content and screwing your future.

And by using Tailwind to implement crappy design patterns, we have even more time to do that. Another win for us”

With the popover API available in all browsers for a while now, we can easily build entirely accessible, even animated popovers for all use cases just with HTML and CSS. As an example I have created a codepen with a simple search button that opens a search field. #HTML #CSS #A11Y #accessibility
