How to set up a mimimal/blank new tab page on Ungoogled Chromium that conforms to your system’s dark mode setting:

github.com/ungoogled-software/…

PS. You can install Ungoogled Chromium easily on macOS using Homebrew:

```shell
brew install --cask eloston-chromium
```

For more macOS setup/configuration tips see my quick gist:

Bahaha, I just realised the red box I'm seeing around lots of images is custom CSS for shaming people who don't add alt-text to their images. Mildly annoying, but worth it.

Tidy play, FediScience @admin! Other instances should pick up this practice.

Anyone have suggestions on where to try to promote the Games for Blind gamers gam jam? We got 110 sign ups last year, and hoping to get more sign ups this year!

Dear Mastodon,

If you could stop suggesting that I change my carefully chosen camel case hashtags to all lowers, that would sure be swell.

#Accessibility


PDFs are useful, but they aren’t accessible, especially when it comes to ebooks.

In “Transforming eBooks: From PDFs to Accessible Web Experiences”, learn how we turned our latest #ebook into a dynamic reading experience that is also accessible using #11ty

Fantastische Neuigkeiten: Seit heute gibt es ganz offiziell ein deutschsprachiges Netzwerk zum Thema #Accessibility (barrierefreies Gaming)!

Alle Interessierten sind herzlich dazu eingeladen, sich auszutauschen und barrierefreies #Gaming in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz voran zu bringen – und zwar über folgende Plattformen:

Discord: discord.gg/BjUAF3cMeW
LinkedIn: linkedin.com/groups/13089351/

Das Netzwerk ist Teil des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderten Projekts InclusiveGameLab (TH Köln/ComputerProjekt Köln e.V.), in dem ich aktuell als wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in tätig bin.

Meldet euch gerne, falls ihr Fragen zum Netzwerk und unseren Zielsetzungen habt.


When live coding on a Mac, don’t just mirror your screen as no one will be able to see what you’re doing. Use, e.g., SwitchResX to mirror your screen at a larger retina resolution (1280×720 works if presenting on a 1920×1080 projector).

That way, you shouldn’t have to alter the text size in your terminal, browser, etc., and the audience will still be able to read your screen. Also goes for live streams, etc.

Audio description — the narration track that describes visual elements of videos for blind and low-vision folks — is leveling up, and "The Penguin" is a perfect example of how. Most of the team members narrating the audio descriptions for the "Batman" spinoff are blind, and were consulted on how to make the descriptions richer and more meaningful, such as adding details about characters' micro-expressions and visual elements with symbolic meaning. Their vocal performances add further layers. Here's more on the process from @Variety.

Remember in August when I gave a talk about HTML tables for the WebAIM online conference?

That video is online!

I have embedded it on my site:
adrianroselli.com/2024/08/talk…

Or you can go to YouTube directly (where you can find the other swell talks from that day).

Here's why we need #AltText for profile pictures on the #fediverse!

"AI" alt text is notoriously unreliable and can't give context, so even when it isn't wrong, it's still not helpful: "Appears to be: Taika Waititi" makes no sense when my name is Laura and you don't know who Taika is or that my picture is from a TV show. If fedi had let *me* describe the pic, this wouldn't have been an issue, but as it is, @fastfinge was understandably confused!

@jwz #Accessibility #AltText for you. "Screenshot" is worse than useless. #Alt4You (the mastodon desktop website did this in less than 10 seconds)
