📌 PKP update on #OpenInfrastructure #accessibility work

https://pkp.sfu.ca/2025/11/27/accessibility-update-2025/

We're still preparing the initial release, and we don't want to leave anyone behind. Does someone have some #accessibility best practices guide we could use?

#FOSS #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

I can't decide whether I want to keep this #NextCloud. While I like the general idea, the Windows Desktop client still has a bunch of unlabeled buttons, you don't seem to be able to just simply copy a public share URL from the context menu like with other solutions, and so on. I hear some blind people using it despite that. Are there any tweaks / #NVDA Add-Ons or anything else I could do to make it more accessible? Yes I could try and open GH issues but honestly the way how they treated the issue about the removal of the copy public link context menu thing makes me doubt anything productive will come out.

Testing Methods: Section Headings, by @deconspray:

Some brief points:

- #Mastodon needs to invest in alleviating this burden. It’s already a pain for shorter things.
- As far as I’m concerned the purpose of this field is to be a caption. There’s absolutely zero reason to try to reproduce the entire contents of an image.
- This is exactly the alt field from an HTML img tag. Never host images without that field.
- This is not entirely about #accessibility. There’s only so far I’m ever willing to go for that purpose.

(cont’d)

Also ich habe jetzt
- alle Bilder mit Alt-Text
- korrekte Gliederung
- Formularfelder alle mit Label und Name
- <noscript> Hinweis wo er nötig war
- keine Cookies
- Kontraste geprüft
- Alternativtext für eine Grafik, die anstelle dieser eingeblendet wird

Kann ich noch was vergessen haben?

Und darf ich ganz schüchtern fragen, ob jemand mit mehr Ahnung mal drüber guckt?

Ich würde mich riesig freuen!

En janvier aura lieu la journée mondiale du braille.

Je suis à la recherche des revendications des personnes #aveugle à propos d'accessibilité, en braille en particulier mais n'importe quel sujet est intéressant également.

(j'avais vu passer un post francophone à ce sujet mais je ne le retrouve pas, si tu as son lien sous le coude ça m'intéresse)

Boost stp 🔄 tu peux aussi me donner des ressources style blog ou comptes fédi de personnes aveugles par exemple

In January, it will be the world braille day

I'm looking for #blind people current revendications regarding accessibility, in braille in particular but anything is cool.

Please boost 🔄 you can also point me to ressources like blog posts or blind fedi users for example

Re last: That's what I've been telling on and on and on to those, especially European people, who are yelling "Go! to Linux!! Right now!!! Gafam is evil, aaaah!"
Sorry, no. *First* you propose an accessible alternative or at least do something for it like sit down with accessibility experts, obtain grants and financing, so I could see I'm not forgotten at least, and *then* we'll think what to do next. #Accessibility

We've all been jumping on Apple's Liquid Glass lately, which seems to throw #accessibility out the window, but this pro-accessibility pro-diversity ad #Apple released this week is really pretty great (especially for those of us who enjoyed Fame* or Glee**).

I'm SO happy with how my talk was produced for #PyLsdiesCon 2025! The intro by Ariane Djeaupang was fantastic and the slick animated title was awesome!

Have a watch here and learn how Python devs (yes, even backend devs) can help out with #accessibility on the web.

I have issues with both, but they mostly just show other approaches.

The alt text on the (animated) illustration on deno.com (@deno_land) is excellent! It contains details which could not be guessed by someone (or something) not knowledgeable about its background/origins. It's genuine communication!

Also, it introduced me to the exceedingly cute "rustacean", Ferris (by @aldeka). See & play with a free Blender model at github.com/RayMarch/ferris3d.

I only wish I could read the alt text without disabling images loading.
