With #FediJam nearing its deadline, I've been working on customization and accessibility options for my game. 🙂

Yes, it's a game jam, and this is one area of many where jam games typically cut quality corners to save dev time. But accessibility has kinda become part of my personal brand, so I don't want to skimp here.

It's a dexterity game, which won't appeal to everyone. But the goal is that anyone can at least try it.

After several days of work, I finally pushed several commits to my website to accommodate those who rely on high contrast themes. Huge thanks to @acidiclight for helping me out by sharing a lot of feedback!

And a request to the broader community - feedback wanted and highly appreciated.

Last month I argued why ‘AI’ will not fix #accessibility:
https://adrianroselli.com/2023/06/no-ai-will-not-fix-accessibility.html

As if to prove my point, #UserWay launched a broken LLM:
http://FuxMyCode.ai/

Yet the sorta-press shills nonsense like this PR from #AudioEye:

Pay attention to who promotes LLMs as a solution. Usually it is a money play or laziness.

.@w3c WCAG should not be developed/designed for the benefit of #accessibility testing vendors. It is there to improve the user experience of disabled people.

Library staff & patrons were sad when APH discontinued the Peg Slate, a beloved Braille learning tool that we use for word-building & games.
But thanks to Noam and friends at Makers Making Change NYC, we have a fresh take on the classic idea — Braille cells that are poppable, swappable, rackable & so colorful! You can download and print your own right here:

it's just not possible to design and host a static website any other way, or with less moving parts, than this #cloud#cloudnative#devops#webscale#seo#a11y#react


I just bought a coffee to Alex Chen, who makes great accessibility resources available to everyone.

One is the Access Guide – an introduction to accessibility: https://www.accessguide.io/

The other is the WCAG Testing Checklist: https://www.accessguide.io/wcag-testing-checklist

Other useful resources on their website: https://www.alexyingchen.com/resources

Last but not least, their Ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/alexyingchen

I tried to read https://joinmastodon.org just now, and got held up by the columnar layout. Best to avoid columns. (Also, side-scrolling is the worst!)

Not sure where to direct this, maybe @Gargron ?

#a11y

(screenshot of joinmastodon.org with heading "What our users are saying" followed by six columns of text, all truncated to about 3 characters each making it impossible to read)


"Featured hashtag editor replaces camel case by lower case"
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18184

Currently, when adding a featured hashtag to your profile, if you use camelcase (e.g. MastodonCats) it gets lowercased (e.g. mastodoncats), which isn't great for #accessibility / #a11y.

If you're into it, click through to the Github issue to add your 👍 or comment of support. And if you don't have a Github account but still want to support, please boost. 🚀

Thank you, TEDx for viewing #accessibility as an important topic and for making it an Editor’s Pick. Thank you Shannah Hayley and TEDxPlano for the opportunity! Thanks to Thomas Logan, Makoto Ueki, and Ashley Coffey for making the talk possible

9h-9h30 Koena & Mobilizon : Accessibilité web pour toutes et tous
Fri 3:00 AM - 3:30 AM
Koena Connect

Accessibilité web pour toutes et tous !

Savez-vous comment les personnes handicapées naviguent-elles sur les sites web ?

Avez-vous vu le bouton "Contact accessibilité" en haut du site Mobilizon ? Savez-vous à quoi il correspond ?

Les questions autour de l'accessibilité numérique vous intéressent-elles ?

Savez-vous comment rendre des sites accessibles ?

Le projet Koena Connect : la médiation au service de l'accessibilité numérique

Pour parler accessibilité numérique, venez découvrir le nouveau projet de Koena en partenariat avec Framasoft !

Il suffit de cliquer sur ce lien pour accéder au webinaire !

NB. Si vous avez des besoin spécifiques ou si vous avez des soucis avec la visio, vous pouvez appeler Koena sur le +33 (0)9 72 63 21 28

Il s'agit d'une plateforme de médiation, accessible via les sites Mobilizon.fr, Keskonfai et Colibris. Cette plateforme est en phase d'expérimentation jusqu'au mois de septembre, c'est donc le moment de la tester !

Pendant ce webinaire, des membres de l'équipe Koena et Mobilizon, feront des démos de leurs sites respectifs.

Vous aurez également la chance de tester la plateforme de médiation avec l'aide de l'équipe Koena.

Si le créneau horaire 9h - 9h30 ne vous convient pas, vous trouverez d'autres créneaux :

Nous avons hâte d'échanger avec vous sur l'accessibilité et l'inclusion numérique !
