Michael HanscomFriendly reminder for those of you planning your <a href="https://social.seattle.wa.us/@norwescon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@norwescon</a> weekend: Saturday at 7 p.m. I’ll be giving an overview of documents and website accessibility. Though aimed more at self-publishing authors and small press publishers, you’re welcome to join!Basics of Accessible Documents and Websites Cascade 10 7–8 p.m. If you’re publishing your authors’ or your own work online, have a promotional website, or use social media, are you making sure that your disabled fans can access everything? Get an overview of digital accessibility concepts, see how assistive technologies like screen readers work, and learn the basics of how to format and check documents and websites so that they can be read by everyone. The future is accessible!

Georgiana BrummellAnyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project! <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinanderton/2024/11/30/14-year-old-boy-invents-digital-braille-reader-and-wins-3500/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinanderton/2024/11/30/14-year-old-boy-invents-digital-braille-reader-and-wins-3500/</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/access" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#access</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/acb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACB</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/accessibility" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/affordability" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#affordability</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/blind" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/braille" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#braille</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/brailledisplays" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrailleDisplays</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/children" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#children</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/education" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/employment" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#employment</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/independence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#independence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/india" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/learning" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learning</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/nfb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NFB</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/ocr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocr</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/parent" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parent</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/reading" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/science" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/school" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#school</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/students" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#students</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/teachers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teachers</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/technology" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/work" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#work</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/writing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a>

ChasMusic (he/him)The following CSS seems to work on the Mastodon desktop website to hide posts with images without alt text:<a href="https://ohai.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> div.status:has(img:not([alt])), <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> div.detailed-status:has(img:not([alt])) { display:none !important; }It's a bit tedious to set up if you haven't done it before though. There are plenty of articles on the web on setting up a browser personal stylesheet so I won't go through the details since they vary by browser and operating system.<a href="https://ohai.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>

ChasMusic (he/him)Been thinking about folks' desire to not show posts with images missing alt text. I think it's doable using CSS if you're using a browser such as Firefox that lets you have a personal style sheet (with some configuration finagling). But if the post is urgent, as with a public safety agency, you would miss the post. (Of course, if the urgent post was only an image, you would miss it anyway, if you are personally dependent on alt text.)¿Thoughts?<a href="https://ohai.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>

robbI'm working on a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwiftUI</a> view modifier that calculates a foreground Color that maintains sufficient contrast with the background and also takes the font into account.

Akkana PeckThe <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NewMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewMexico</a> Governor's message, vetoing HB 120 on making state agencies accessible, says the veto is because her office is already accessible and she's sending out memos about <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> to other agencies, so the bill isn't needed.Her office issued this veto message as an inaccessible PDF (you can't select the text, or read it with a screen reader) that's obviously a scan from a paper document.<a href="https://realfileee3072ab0d43456cb15a51f7d82c77a2.s3.amazonaws.com/57027c30-e244-41b7-9ea1-46987003ab27?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJBKPT2UF7EZ6B7YA&Expires=1744471561&Signature=%2FMXBKa9Yu%2BLqGLDPK6hk6Edinbs%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%22HB120-2025_Vetoed.pdf%22&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://realfileee3072ab0d43456cb15a51f7d82c77a2.s3.amazonaws.com/57027c30-e244-41b7-9ea1-46987003ab27?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJBKPT2UF7EZ6B7YA&Expires=1744471561&Signature=%2FMXBKa9Yu%2BLqGLDPK6hk6Edinbs%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%22HB120-2025_Vetoed.pdf%22&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf</a>
