Have just got off the phone from a call providing feedback to #AppleAccessibility re inaccessibility of #Airpods4. For reference, on the back of the case, there is no fisical button there is a touch surface, that one needs to tap to start the pairing process, however, those who have tried to do it report that this is more miss than hit. I would urge those who care about this to consider calling apple accessibility and voicing concerns around this. The more of us who get in their ear, the better itwill be for future generations of this product. I have suggested that a reasonable resolution to this would be to bring out new compatible cases with the button replaced. #access4All @scottrut @doubletap @JonathanMosen

🔥 New study from the #ACCESS4ALL project! I found that lobby teams with a balanced gender composition & shared national backgrounds with MEPs secure more access to the European Parliament🇪🇺But biases remain, especially against lobbyists from newer EU states👇 🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Just a reminder, if anyone needs some audio or video transcribed that's posted to Mastodon, I can write transcripts and post them to my blog, where I have categories under #Access4All. As I'm incredibly busy, I can't transcribe a lot of material, but I've set aside places on my website for things people post to mastodon that people wish to have transcribed. Draw my attention to something with the #Access4All hashtag. Thanks. :) I hope everyone has an awesome day!

So it's official: I just launched my #Patreon page. https://patreon.com/SchalkNeethling #opensource #openweb #access4all

Is there a separate keystroke on Tweesecake that I'm not aware of that allows for searches with hashtags? I tried to do a search for #Access4all and even tried it without the # sign. At this time, the cake is saying there are no results for #Access4all. Just trying to make sure I do this right so I can keep an active buffer on here as well. Thanks for the help. :)

Hello Everyone,
I’m so thrilled to see my offer for transcribing audio uploaded to Mastodon. I’ve even gotten some suggestions for some external videos to transcribe as well, which, if I can help even a bit, it makes a difference and warms my heart to see such a supportive community. So, before this project takes flight, I thought I’d do a bit of house keeping and lay down some ground rules to make things easier for everyone.
First, if you come across audio on Mastodon that you’d like described, or see an occasional link to a video or audio clip that you’d like transcribed, please use the hashtag #Access4All. Please note the spelling. It’s easy to remember, and short enough for those who have typing/dexterity issues. This allows me to open a search timeline for that hashtag specifically so I don’t have to wade through Mastodon River and find it. Also, for anyone lse in the community who wants to help transcribe, this will be easier for others to step up and help as they see fit.
Next, I will be setting up an Access4All category on my blog in the next day or so, and in there will be child categories called Transcribed Video and Transcribed audio. If anyone would be willing to provide descriptions for videos to make them completely accessible, we can make a third category that contains text descriptions along with the transcripts. As for syncing the transcripts to the audio, I don’t have the technical know-how to make that happen. That’s why giving me the links to the original sources is so important, because I can include the links in my blog posts, and the reader can open these links in a new tab should they want to follow along. It’s the best way I can offer community transcripts, seeing as some videos or audio can excede most server character limits. When these are set up, I’ll create a pinned post with links to the blogs various feeds. My next post will be behind a content warning, and will contain a disclaimor for audio I will not transcribe for safety.
