I have WCAG shirts for sale.

One that moves the “Punch Nazis” to the same line (this one’s new), but available in white on whatever and black on whatever.

And two variations of the MASH logo (yellow or black text).

Get them as weird holiday gifts!

If you’re vide-coding MVPs (or pre-MVPs?) that you have no intention of taking further and instead releasing them as proofs of concept and moving on to your next soon-to-be-abandoned MVP, understand that you’re a patsy. A shill.

If you can, please also identify known WCAG conformance errors.

We don’t want another toast escapade where research failed to identify barriers & risks. Encoding broken patterns into the web platform helps no one.

Respond to Keith or post to: github.com/openui/open-...

I don’t care that Homan says he is pulling immigration troops from Minnesota. He said that last week with a pittance of a removal.

It’s a trick. Get an axe (and cut DHS funding).

When you’re being cocky in a meeting and take a big swig from your mug, only for it to dribble down both sides of your face, onto your shirt, and pool in your lap.

Balance is restored.

“[…] NVDA no longer treats controls with 0 width or height as invisible. This may make it possible to access previously inaccessible ‘screen reader only’ content on some websites.”

Water main broke up the street, so decided to read at the 1970s-themed bar that was thankfully empty. Free bathroom (for the cost of drinks) and no mask necessary (for the absence of humans).

New testing on heading levels past 6:
adrianroselli.com/2024/05/leve...

Chromia:
• will make invalid `aria-level` values on `` level 1 instead of the `` level, and
• invalid `aria-level` values on `role=heading` are also now level 1 (instead of 2).

Feels buggy.

TL;DR: Avoid setting heading levels greater than six (6). This applies whether using aria-level or the proposed headingstart HTML attribute. Use HTML <h#> elements whenever possible. ARIA The aria-lev...

“Honoring Mobile OS Text Size”

Looks at the new HTML thing proposed from CSSWG (yeah, not confusing) and tries to merge Safari’s propriety hack with Google’s CSSWG proposal and Canary implementation. Firefox just works.

While decent people have known this for years, it’s nice to have a more recent reference.

Also, this is why I don’t read nor share Substack and why I judge those on it.
