Adrian RoselliThis is the first time I’ve heard of a web <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> lawsuit *demanding* an overlay: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7340502446806360088/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7340502446806360088/</a>I am assuming incompetence (Hanlon’s razor), but given the amoral and illegal behavior of some <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/overlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overlay</a> companies, I have to be open to collusion.No link to filing.<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:Here’s a question for front-end developers about accessibility.If you hide an element with “aria-hidden,” the element and all of its children are hidden from screen readers. If one of those child elements is an image, the alt text is moot because a screen reader will ignore it.Example:<button aria-hidden="true"> <img src="/img/icon.svg"> </button>Do you:<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11y</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Design</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FrontEnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrontEnd</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Development</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a>

Klemens 🥳Story about my favourite moment at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WWDC25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WWDC25</a>On Monday, I was sitting at a SwiftUI lab at Apple Park. Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. They showed me a phone, saying:"Hi, are you Klemens?" (They were mute.)I nodded.They typed, and then showed me their phone again: "Thank you so much for everything you do in accessibility. My team and I appreciate your work".They gave me this pin and walked away.I almost burst into tears. It was a tiny gesture, but it was perfect. 💙<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

James Royal-LawsonIt's a myth that developers are responsible for accessibility. In truth, the biggest impact comes from design.

SvenjaIn letzter zeit bekomme ich häufiger Emails von Gamedevs die wollen, dass ich ihr Spiel spiele. Kein Wort darüber, ob sie Barrierefreiheitsoptionen haben. Ich frag immer nach und immer bekomm ich ein "Nein, haben wir leider noch nicht." Ich würd ja gern eure Spiele spielen, aber ohne ScreenReaderunterstützung wird das leider nichts. Dabei klingen die Spiele nicht mal uninteressant, sonst würd ich nicht antworten. <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gamedev</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/A11Y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A11Y</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/DisabledAlltag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabledAlltag</a>
