Robert KingettHey other Blind folks, what native software do you use to listen to internet radio stations on the Windows desktop and iPhone? <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mastoblind" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mastoblind</a> <a href="https://rblind.com/c/main" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@main</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Radio</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11y</a>

GregariousUgh, I hate to admit this, but due to accessibility needs I was forced to return to Windows. Of course, first thing I had to do was tweak privacy settings to try and cut down on its tracking bullshit. Just one too many minor accessibility issues with Linux to make it useable for me right now... <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/A11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11Y</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blind</a>

David O'BrienSaying "No-one using our service has accessibility needs" is a bit like saying "We don't need a ramp, no-one in a wheelchair has ever come up the stairs".<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11y</a>

Feu d'jais 🥑Hello les gens doués en accessibilité !J'ai une question.Imaginez un site avec 2 colonnes. A gauche, une colonne avec une liste de liens, comme un flux RSS par exemple.À droite un panneau pour voir le lien sur lequel on a cliqué.Si je tabule, je tombe dans le panneau de gauche et je suis potentiellement en scroll infini. Je ne pourrai jamais aller dans le panneau de droite pour par exemple ouvrir un lien qui se situe dans le texte ou partager l'article (admettons qu'un bouton partager soit aussi dans le panneau de droite).C'est quoi la solution pour ça ? Je pourrais "faire demi-tour" en parcourant à l'envers et alors je passerais par le footer puis je me retrouverais à droite mais c'est complètement débile.Merci ! Si vous avez des articles qui parlent de ça aussi, n'hésitez pas à me les mettr en commentaires !N'hésitez pas à retooter également, ça m'aide !J'en profite pour dire, l'envie vous prendra peut-être de tagger une personne bien connue ici qui est douée en accessibilité et dont c'est le métier, ça me gêne un peu, ne faites donc pas ça. Non pas que je n'aime pas ses réponses, au contraire je les adore. Mais j'ai l'impression que tout le monde la tag tout le temps pour lui demander son avis et ça lui fait une sorte de travail monstre. Si elle voit et qu'elle répond, c'est très bien mais je n'ai pas envie que sa présence sur Mastodon ça soit 50% de notifs de gens qui lui disent "hey tu dois savoir ?".Edit: j'ai trouvé ça <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/feed_role" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/feed_role</a> Le role feed, j'imagine que c'est la solution ?<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/dev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dev</a>

Does LibreWolf have the same level of accessibility for screen readers as FireFox? If not, why? I have to ask, as I’d rather not waste my time on an inaccessible web browser, and I imagine other screen reader users like myself would agree. <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/A11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11Y</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blind</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/ScreenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScreenReader</a>

bugbearHonestly, out of all Linux FLOSS things that get funded by public grants, accessibility should be the priority.People have complained how inaccessible Linux is for them (even when everything works, not mentioning drive failures like in the linked post) for too long.<a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/notes/a3gdmeawh7need3d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fed.interfree.ca/notes/a3gdmeawh7need3d</a><a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FLOSS</a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

ErionWhat's the state of <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#matrix</a>, <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmpp</a> and <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/irc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRC</a> as far as <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenReader</a> -accessible clients are concerned? Desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android). Hoping for some input, please feel free to boost. As far as I know: Matrix does not have a lightweight, fully accessible client for desktop, but one could be modified, such as <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/gomuks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gomuks</a>. On mobile, Element has scrolling issues, which is unacceptable for large rooms. XMPP has accessible desktop clients (I used to run <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> on the Mac), also <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/weechat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeeChat</a>. No idea about mobile. IRC is perhaps the one which everything supports on desktop, from <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/mirandaim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MirandaIM</a> through Weechat to the old Freedom Chat, which I could probably rewrite if I had to. Also not sure about mobile, but it would definitely need push notifications, because we can't expect people to stay constantly online on the go. <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>

Adrian RoselliJakob Nielsen has walked back his claim from last year that ‘genAI’ will solve accessibility. Now he says that intelligent agents will moot all accessibility by 2030.I link to a Wayback version of his post from here: <a href="https://adrianroselli.com/2024/03/jakob-has-jumped-the-shark.html#Update01" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://adrianroselli.com/2024/03/jakob-has-jumped-the-shark.html#Update01</a><a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Eric EggertDeque says “AI” will help to “automate 100% of accessibility”. That’s bullshit. The automated transcript of the talk where they say it cannot figure out that they talk about “axe” and writes “X” instead.Oh, and instead of “Deque“, the transcript says “TC”. 100% of accessibility errors! “AI”! Sure.(Also they chose to not afford human transcribers. A multi-million dollar company. Because f those disabled people.)<a href="https://www.deque.com/axe-con/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ai-Media_46997_THE_STATE_OF_ACCESSIBILITY_FEB_25_2025_.txt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.deque.com/axe-con/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ai-Media_46997_THE_STATE_OF_ACCESSIBILITY_FEB_25_2025_.txt</a><a href="https://yatil.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://yatil.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>
