Great Article by Chris Yoong: "Stop inviting overlay employees and bad actors into Accessibility spaces"
"Hearing genuine stories allows them to borrow, reshape or reframe those disabled or accessibility experiences as their own. They use photos and stories of real disabled people to build credibility, diluting or overwriting the voices of those they claim to represent."

I speak English (well), French (well enough to be understood), and one sentence each in Spanish and Italian.
The next language I’d really like to be able to communicate in at a basic level is #Auslan. Australian Sign Language. Then I’d like to add ASL and BSL. Every school should make the sign language of their region part of the core curriculum.
Let’s all at least learn the alphabet! Time to end the isolation the #deaf community experiences every day.
But it gets better: try keyboard-navigating through the form, and it's hard not to unsubscribe from everything, even if you didn't want to! As soon as the "unsubscribe all" checkbox gets focus, you get instantly unsubscribed: no interaction necessary.

Inclusion is important for a democratic digital society. That's why it seems important to me that informations on accessibility should be added to the Messenger Matrix. One example among others is the use with screenreaders for blind users. Perhaps one could call for the contribution o...
Has anybody ever measured how much damage sliders/carousels do to the web? Not only #accessibiliy, but people just love scrolling and do really not like clicking small arrows or dots in order to get information that was not important enough to show it in the first place.
I definitely will habe to look into potential #accessibiliy pitfalls in the api.
Like for motion sickness, elements appearing and disappearing (while not moving around other elements) are safe because it's not movement.
Let's see if I can find an answer to "are transitions better/worse" than no transitions?
PS: Jakob.Fun is on Blusky but I guess we still cannot follow Blusky users without a bridge, right?
