Die AfD Cloppenburg hat sich selbst mehr als halbiert. Unter anderem, weil sie versehentlich ein Kreuz falsch gesetzt hat. Das ist nicht nur lustig, es verrät etwas wichtiges über die Rechtsextremen, was auch unsere Medien lernen sollten […]

<output> is mostly a shorter way to write <div role="status">, which itself is a shorter way to write <div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true">. So technically, according to the first rule of ARIA, you should always use output instead of specifying the ARIA attributes.

Fitting, considering many frustrated visual keyboard users will say “ah, this is the feature they introduced to foc us”.

I started a draft pull request to change decorative images to images for pure decorations in the @wai Tutorials. I don't have a lot of time this month, but it's a start. github.com/w3c/wai-website/pull/2399

I’m honestly annoyed that I need to fail sites for not announcing inline error messages, as I think filling everything out and then getting directed to errors on submit is the much better way to do it. But I’m not here to bend WCAG my way, so I fail those error messages.

Most people don't do accessibility for disabled people. This is just a fact. But developers love to cling on technology: "Let's do stuff for screen readers!" "Here is a widget for making stuff more accessible." If you mechanize accessibility, people are interested. That's where the whole "do […]

Obviously W3C Members only, but might be an important way to influence how “AI” is handled in W3C:

tabindex=“-1” does not make a link invisible for assistive technologies, hence that link needs an accessible name. (Yes, you can use aria-hidden=“true” and that will often make it work better, but not for everyone.)

It’s a good pun. It tests for lightness, not hue. *pedantic low growl*

The only threat to humanity that "AI" represents is as the producer of increasing amounts of CO2, e-waste. As a massive polluter and destroyer of our ecosystem. Everything else is just bullshit.

RE: yatil.social/@yatil/117364399453470… And of course, WCAG 3 needs to have its own definition of “pure decoration” because of nebulous “user needs” so that everyone who needs to work with both, WCAG 2 and 3 (which is anyone) for the 10 years until WCAG 3 is the standard everywhere […]

WCAG 3 discussions that drive me bonkers: Let’s create a category for “purely decorative images”. This already exists in WCAG 2. It is well defined. It’s called “pure decoration” and also applies to other non-text content. I mean, if there was any doubt that WCAG 3 is reinventing the WCAG 2 […]

Ach so, Bund und Länder bezahlen das! Aus einem magischen Geldtopf? Ach nein, durch geringere Steuereinnahmen. Und wo werden dann Steuern erhöht? Kann man sich schon denken. Und das für 10–15 Euro „Entlastung“ pro Monat… 🤦 Was Autofahrer zum Start des neuen […] [Original post on yatil.social]

Text Shot: Was kostet der "Tankrabatt" und wer zahlt das?Die Bundesregierung erwartet, dass 2,485 Milliarden Euro weniger Steuern in die Staatskasse fließen. Diesmal sollen aber die Länder die Hälfte der Kosten tragen; dafür tritt der Bund ihnen etwas weniger Umsatzsteuereinnahmen ab. Das ist ungewöhnlich - die Länder finanzieren Entscheidungen aus dem Bund oft nur ungern mit.

"WCAG 3 will finally center the needs of disabled users!" Like "Stuff needs to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust"? Sure, it's good to center user needs, but this is not a new thing. I don't know where the idea comes from that WCAG 2 was somehow divorced from the needs of […]

RE: mastodon.social/@chockenberry/11735… I kinda love how accessibility people knew about the usefulness of landscape in apps and on the web that it has been a requirement since WCAG 2.1, which came out in 2018. Listen to accessibility people and your stuff will be more […]

Kinda glad I stopped using Flexibits products, now that they put personal data through Anthropic’s servers. (I plan to switch to Linux, so I waned myself off of 3rd party tools a lot. But this would have been a reason to cancel anyway. The email reminded me that I need to close my account.)

Dear Flexibits customer,
We are writing to let you know about the following update to our list of subprocessors we use for Flexibits services:
• We added Anthropic (San Francisco, CA)
• We added Slack Technologies (San Francisco, CA)
This message is informational only. No action is required on your part.

Our two-panel balcony solar hit 250kWh since being installed in July 11 weeks ago. An average of 3.25kWh per day harvested. Just a few days ago we had a very sunny autumn day with a record 5.2kWh in a single day. I’m very impressed. We’re probably not using all of it (our energy meter is not […]

So we need optional WCAG 3 things for those who already go beyond requirements, so that we can recognize them. Are we doing trinket-based standards now? Do we think anyone said “I would have made this more accessible but without a gold star, I won’t do it”? […] [Original post on yatil.social]

Wrote a long document today with multiple links to the WCAG Understanding document and only now realized that a good chunk of the document referred to WCAG 2.1’s Understanding instead of WCAG 2.2. Guess someone is checking their links now and that someone is me :-(

Ah, thanks @libreoffice for duplicating and triplicating and quadruplicating the Windows Position and Windows Set controls on macOS :-) (I don’t have time right now, but I need to find the bug tracker and report the bug at some point!)

A Mac Menu item, Windows, is expanded with a repeated Fill C)enter Move and Resize section in it. It is visible 9 times, but the screenshot is cut off and there is an arrow indicating more entries.

When the EAA came into effect a year ago I was worried that the market surveillance agencies would interpret WCAG success criteria in new and creative ways. I am currently working through one of those official reports and I am honestly very underwhelmed by what I see. *sigh
