Matt provides a list of WordPress alternatives here. Which one, aside from ClassicPress, puts accessibility front and center? https://wordpress.org/news/2024/10/spoon/ #WordPress #Accessibility #ClassicPress

Need some advice. Having fun building my @eleventy website but I am using their Base Blog theme with a few adaptations, not done yet. They generate their lists of posts with this file, link below.

eleventy-base-blog/_includes/postslist.njk at main · 11ty/eleventy-base-blog

A starter repository for a blog web site using the Eleventy static site generator. - eleventy-base-blog/_includes/postslist.njk at main · 11ty/eleventy-base-blog

GitHub (github.com)

I tried to make this into an <ul> so it can be quicker to navigate for fellow screen reader users but no matter what I do it still stays as an <ol> so does anyone have any thoughts on how to make the below appear as an <ul>?

The below is my adaptation.

Thank you for this! Can you send me the HTML for people link? I didn't read your post yet but I bookmarked your link! @stefan @bw

Link at end, The best Friendica writeup ever award goes to @elena regarding this blog post. Does anyone know of an instance in English I can try? My screen reader reads a different language when I check out that instance but you should read https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica/ #Friendica #Fediverse #SocialMedia

I'm so glad @aardrian shared this that reveals website boy only tolerates accessibility, if even that. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/9898 #Accessibility #OpenSource #Mastodon #Fediverse

@talksina @seve_py @buttondown @devol Yep! Was gonna file an issue about that formatting dialog. I write everything in Markdown so this is fantastic feedback, especially for other blind people that do not know Markdown. ButtonDown is not ready at all for a novice/casual screen reader user. I’m sorry I could not see this sooner, otherwise, I would’ve actually advised against checking it out as of yet. I’m playing around with static site generators, but that’s only because I’m tired of platforms changing on me and screwing up my whole entire workflow

@talksina @seve_py @buttondown @devol Note that accessibility for button down is not where it needs to be, yet, but I and others are working with the team on making it more usable/ accessible! They just made a change to where all radio buttons work far better with keyboard. My next task is to try to get a lot of these unlabeled checkboxes labeled! They are very open to accessibility feedback even if they don’t always get it right

The funny thing is they will get their growth and audiences they want by designing for the most marjonalized and the tech bros don't even have to use all these community and safety features. They can have open everything and open accounts and open RSS feeds and unrestricted interactions if they want to have them by designing for the most marjonalized. They can still control how audience focused they want their accounts to be because things will be *opt in!* They get their audience, we get our community. It baffles me how nobody on the dev team understands this. @bright_helpings @Shrigglepuss

Unseen, Life as a Blind Immigrant is a documentary style podcast about what it's like to be an immigrant while blind. https://play.prx.org/listen?uf=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicfeeds.net%2Ff%2F8080%2Ffeed-rss.xml #Podcast #Podcasts #Documentary #Disability #Education

As a person that went fully blind in my late twenties, I can read raised print and I know many Braille users that can't read raise print, at all. I had a situation where I had to read for other blind people that did not know raised print. In a situation where I had to aid others in reading signs on a wall because they did not know raised print, in your definition anyway, I was truly literate. The fact I can read raised print faster than I can read Braille makes me literate, but to your post, because I don't know contracted Braille, or even uncontracted Braille well enough for speed reading or fluent reading out loud, for that matter, I am still illiterate even though I can, in some cases but not all, spell better than a few Braille readers I know. It is not internalized ableism if I choose to learn my preferred way, which is via audio means. I can still spell, check grammar, correct other Braille user's grammar, edit books, write, and improve spelling. In fact, I read books in raised print format on one day, uncontracted Braille on another day, and audio for the rest of the days. Two things can be true at the same time. Blind people need to learn Braille, and there are other ways to read other than Braille. Sighted people should never take Braille away from us. At the same time, blind people should also never contribute to ableism by insinuating there is a right and wrong way to do things. I think James is getting closer to the crux of the issue than you are at the moment. Also, there are different kinds of readers. Dyslexic people don't contribute to this wave of ableism capriciousness. The bigger issue is Braille access and blindness autonomy and you can advocate for Braille without buying into ableist thoughts yourself. @JonathanMosen @jscholes

Just boosted this but this add on will basically put a parameter at the end of Google search result URLs to hide that AI junk.

Open source: you all should use open source and private services because we’re not a corporation out to exploit you or your data.

Disabled users: hey, your registration edit field is not labeled so I can’t use my adaptive technology to register or even use your platform. Could you fix it, because, right now, the mainstream/corporate offering has taken accessibility more seriously and I’d rather use a tool/service that I won’t need to struggle with in order to operate.

Open source: what exactly do you expect? We can’t be expected to make things accessible for you, so you can either fork it yourself or just not use our software/services. We’re a small team and corporation has more money than we do so they can devote more time and effort to accessibility. You can always fork the project though and make accessibility yourself!

Disabled user: well, I can’t code, so it looks like I don’t have any other choice but to go back to using this corporate offering that at least took the time to label their registration field correctly and actually took my request more seriously. Oh well, maybe open source tools just aren’t for me.

Started mirroring my Github repos on @Codeberg and, while there are a *lot* of accessibility problems with it, still, always good to have backups! For example, @BrettCoulstock AD script lives here, on an #OpenSource platform! https://codeberg.org/weirdwriter/ADConvert

@jdp23 @freakazoid @moira @inquiline @cmdr_nova @julian Do you have a link for LetterBook?
