I've used a mobility scooter a few times in my area and it really does hit you how annoying it is to ride off a kerb only to find there's not a drop the other side and you're stuck in a road at a height many won't see. Also people just standing in the middle of a path not noticing you and chatting away (twice on a 20 minute journey tesr both happened today)

Dandelion Sprout has raised a valid accessibility issue with AdGuard for Windows.
In the "app management" tab, the options for each app are shown through small icons. If something is on, it is light green. If it is off, it is light grey. There is no other distinction on this page.
Even as someone who isn't colorblind and has ok vision (and an ok monitor), the two look way to close.

👋 Hello Canadian 🇨🇦 Fediverse
Needing 🦽 Advice Please 👋

I would very much appreciate recommendations for companies/sources for a manual wheelchair for a disabled senior. ♿
The person using it is Not capable of maneuvering an electric one -and they are Not allowed for use at the retirement home-and one arm is too weak to push himself using a manual wheelchair, so it's up to me, a senior to assist, therefore, it needs to be lightweight but sturdy enough for going over curbs and sidewalks, along country roads without a sidewalk, and to be safely anchored to a bus floor. (I do not want a 'transport' wheelchair --too flimsy)
Thanks for your guidance.🙂

Boosts welcomed

Hier eines der @c3tactile Schilder vom #39c3 die in der #Freakshow erwähnt wurden.

Die gestickten Kartenpläne und alle Brailleschilder sind unglaublich wichtige Tools, die unsere #accessability auf #Chaos Events erhöhen. 🚀

Danke an alle die mitgeholfen haben! 👏

PSA: if all you ever post is screenshots of other people's viral posts, but you omit the Alt-text, and you cannot be bothered to edit your post to add Alt-text even after other people comment to supply the Alt-text, then you're an absolute shit-heel and deserve to be blocked.

Fascinating read about how even wanting to utilise the fundamental html APIs can cause accessibility issues. My inner nerd feels I need popcorn.
