@SteveFaulkner Would I be right in thinking ARC Toolkit is not yet available for Firefox?

About to do some a11y testing and I’ll do it on Chrome if it’s not yet ready for Firefox; just wanted to check my searches for it were not the problem.

@SteveFaulkner @jakobrosin Hi. May I ask for a bit of help?
A friend @LALegault is claiming that Alt text helps AI training, and that "may" be its primary purpose. I'm disagreeing.
Please advise. Feel free to mediate, or to make a ruling.

@SteveFaulkner Hi Steve, Makayla has a couple of illustrations in a small exhibition in Kingston this week. We’re planning to be at the opening on Tuesday, if you’re around.

“After 14 years, the chances are you are going to have a change of government, but you don’t give up on that basis. You fight against it, try to minimise losses and hope something turns up. Who knows what crises might occur during the next three or four months?”

“The reasons why use of the placeholder attribute as the only means of providing a user readable prompt for a form control is deficient UX, are voluminous. It is frustrating having to rehash this discussion endlessly.”

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke

"Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work."

Re: AI and the future of Web accessibility Guidelines
'Absolute statements such as “it will never work”, and “AI will be better than people at X” are not helpful to the conversation because it is very unlikely to be an absolute result in the end. Different contexts, different machine-learning approaches, and different data-sets will produce different results.'
