I gave my best effort to make a post on a Lemmy instance accessible to the visibly impaired, but I don’t know if what I did was effective. Lemmy doesn’t provide for alt text on image posts, so I figured I would put it in the body of the post. It seem that rind.com hasn’t had much activity. Is Lemmy simply not workable for...

I have no idea how well this will work in practice; see the recent discussion here about the infrastructural problems with Linux accessibility. But I do know that @matt is an expert with years and years of #accessibility experience in the #a11y space. So it will at least be a step in the right direction: getting the right people...

I am very curious and want to help to make Linux more accessible....

Pro tip: set your home instance, so links open there directly and you can subscribe from the sidebar. It’s possible to run into errors if the server doesn’t know the other one, but those should be resolved by refreshing.

When I completed the test, I received a score of 65%, which I understand is a high score that indicates I might be suffering from the disorder. Yes, I am addicted to daydreaming and I...

I figured I should share some of my thoughts on this. Think what you will about my perspective or decisions and formulate your own - we should all get to act on our values.

Hi everyone,...

I’m having a really weird issue with VoiceOver on iOS and I’ve decided not to stress out about it. I scheduled a phone call with Apple Support....

Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions? The spec does currently specify a carveout for browser modifications and extensions, but those can make automating interactions with a website trivial. So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will...

Looks like @MurdoMaclachlan, formerly a transcriber for r/TranscribersOfReddit, is occasionally doing freelance transcriptions on Lemmy in their spare time. This post directly hyperlinks the Lemmy community that Murdo looks to be using to aggregate all their transcriptions via comment permalinks....

Just as a reminder for those who are not aware, and for those who are, we operate a discord server, currently with over 600 members.

A new beta of Mlem for Lemmy was released on 2023-07-02. Among many other improvements, it has greatly improved VoiceOver support. But there are also the following known issues:...
