Hot off the presses! Unite 6.5 was released today (an app that creates site-specific browsers). I reviewed it last week, and I talked about how it was NOT accessible to screen readers. Only 5 days after I told the dev, he's made it pretty accessible! (not perfect but good)

I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.
I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.
I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

Gradually teaching through example the alternatives to Dougal and Microhardboiled.
Shared docs: cryptpad and framapad. Forms: liberaforms. Online meetings: Framatalk. And of course .odt and .ods file formats.
And today I get Green Party minutes... in Dougaldocs.
( Edit: typos/automiscorrect - .odt not .out & .ods not .odd! )
@markhburton @urlyman urgh, professional hazard that whenever i hear of something nice, i have to go find flaws... https://codeberg.org/LiberaForms/data-display/issues/12 #a11y
Time for plumbing a whole new accessibility setting from desktop to toolkit: 3 hours
Time for knowing what to plumb: 20 years
Time for bikeshedding on the type of the setting: Positive infinity

Got nerdsniped around lunchtime yesterday, and ended up implementing a shared "reduced motion" setting for GNOME and the rest of the xdg stack:

This is “tagtype,” a keyboard designed explicitly for the Japanese language. A relic from 2004, now at MOMA indefinitely.
Japanese uses fifty syllabic characters that can be written on a matrix of ten consonants multiplied by five vowels. This is a Qwerty approach to that formula. It was also built for accessibility, in construction and use.
Designer: Kinya Tagawa.

I just published a new piece: “Why Can’t Everything Be Accessible?”
Accessibility isn’t complicated—it’s ignored. We’ve failed to teach, enforce, and value inclusion in tech.
Developers, educators, governments, and companies all have a role to play.
Read and share if you believe accessibility should be for everyone:

There, I wrote 715 words on it:

Also, we know ‘AI’ companies chose anuses as logos, but did OpenAI have to double down and make its browser logo a butt plug?
I mean… what the fuck?
