(not so) short note on being owned

aria-owns is surprisingly strong magic

aria-owns allows developers to restructure the parent-child relationships in the accessibility tree. This means that screen reader users may experience a different semantic structure and meaning to other users when they navigate and interact with content using their screen readers virtual/browse mode.

ShatGPT

I am concerned. Not about Large Language Models (LLM)s doing me out of a job, but about the people who make money out of them not making their User Interfaces (UI)s accessible.

🍄 ‘Prof Sarah Gurr, at the University of Exeter in the UK, a co-author of the report, said fungi had recently come to public attention through the hit TV show The Last of Us, in which fungi infect human brains.

“While that storyline is science fiction, we are warning that we could see a global health catastrophe caused by the rapid global spread of fungal infections. The imminent threat here is not about zombies, but about global starvation.”’

👋 If you have any questions about the @w3c validator drop them in replies and will put them on my list 🖖

I am gathering together some questions to ask Mike Smith about the #HTML validator/conformance checker I talked with him about it in 2014

and thought it was time for some more questions.

Frankie Boyle’s Farewell to the Monarchy review – looks like he’s blown his chance of an OBE

‘Symbols are important to the royal brand, Boyle tells us. Consider Prince Charles’s crest before he became King. It “shows a lion mounting another lion while a horse looks patiently on. Whereas the Duke of York’s shows a lion paying £12m to a sex-trafficked lion cub”’

Found this gem while looking back at history of the HTML to Accessibility APIs mapping specification

Feedback from then editor of the #HTML specification

"the proposed document is unnecessary. Vendors have not shown an inability
to read the existing normative specifications"
