Oh hey look! Microsoft #AccessibilityFail 30229! I'm in the Rewards section of my Xbox account on the Xbox itself, not the Web, and every list item (What's New in Rewards, Weekly Console Bonus, Play a Game on Console, Etc.) says the following before it: "Dashboard.Social.ViewModels.RewardsModuleGroup View Model Group!" Because what's basic Screen Reader Testing, anyway?

Oh, the irony! 🤦‍♂️ An article on 'misuses' that #misuses its own accessibility settings. Well played, digital gatekeepers! 🚫 Enjoy your exclusive club of... no one. 🎉

The Misuses of the University - Public Books

Have the funds that might have trained the next generation of scholars at the nation’s first research university have been blown on ostentatious new buildings?

For the 100th time, the stupid Liquid Glass interface has broken my app experience.

Bugs I've experienced since I woke up:
- Bottom of half of phone screen grayed out after a text entry box failed to clear properly
- Enlarged text on a button in an app displaying on two lines instead of one
- Blank reserved space at the bottom of the screen while viewing web pages (apparently this would be mostly clear if I hadn't needed to make the glass effect opaque because it gives me a headache, but it means the "accessibility" feature is impeding my use of the device)
- Ice Cubes glitches when my phone slips into landscape mode while I'm composing a toot. It gets stuck sideways, cut off and refusing to accept further input until I reboot the app and lose everything I've entered.

I thought this was an app problem, but I think I was wrong. It's not an isolated thing. This is an #iOS26 problem and an #Apple problem.

I hope this is why Liquid Glass execs at Apple are stepping down.

I just picked up Power Wash Simulator 2 after adoring the first one. The second one won't let you remap your key binds. WTAF? Not everyone's hand work the same. Lame. #AccessibilityFail

Is there a word (or hashtag) for the situation when there's a podcast about disability issues but it has no transcript?

Because I've been seeing a lot of this lately ... 🙄

(Hmm, maybe accessibility fail?)

when @ablade sends you an e-mail to see if It can be read on the computer, and then you have to bust out @AiraVI to read images from an e-mail that you can't even see with your screen reader. #accessibilityFail. #DoBetter.

Dear #WinRAR I've enjoyed your utility for many years. What I'm not enjoying is knowing that there's an #Inaccessible #Captcha in place preventing me from updating the email address at which I receive your newsletter. #AccessibilityFail

Finally got around to finishing Chakraborty's "The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi". Good book, I absolutely loved it.

I did not, alas, love the experience of reading it as an ebook. Between some chapters there's an info-dump - well written and with interesting facts or lore, inserted by the in-book chronicler.

And those pages were created as images.

I had to read them by putting 3x magnification on my phone camera and using it as a lens over my kobo.
