    Link to that study in case the tweet goes away: Maybe Amazon drivers can use this technique to not get dinged for looking in the side-view mirror. Granted, if more folks who could shop local would, Amazon’s panoptican mooted.

    When someone says your form-less <button> pretending to be a link should be an <a>, they mean <a href>, not <a onclick>, you utter pile of dolts. Now you have made a control that cannot be focused.

    alt: two images of the same person, one with and one without contouring make-up. The facial recognition fails on the latter. Easier than dazzle hair/make-up, wearing giant adversarial patches, or dazzle masks. Less easy than tortoise shell glasses.

    the secret to defeating facial recognition with make-up is ... contouring? left and right are before and after applying adversarial makeup; an advance over more obvious alterations, though only tested against the ArcFace model

    I updated the post with tweets from convo this morning and a pen stolen from : Also added a bit on the time I fixed an incorrect dop-cap approach which was then used sans credit by person who did it wrong to begin with.

    My fear is they switch to CSS-generated content to reference the images, which will just make it worse (given that even if they use the CSS alternative text feature, browser support is poor, and will not display as `alt` does anyway).

    I block Gravatar images as cross-site trackers. Using a `title` attribute instead of `alt` is utterly useless for cases where images do not load. Or, if the devs wanted users to see the names, then do not require a mouse-only interaction. Add it as plain text (with blank alt).

    A bullet list of what should be avatar images, but instead it is just bullets with empty white space. The dev tools show the wrapper list item has a title attribute with the person’s name, but the image element has a blank alt attribute.

    I stumbled across what I think was the first time I saw accessibility analogies with food in a talk, specifically this 2013 deck from that used chocolate chip cookies: cc for .

    A slide showing a chocolate chip cookie alongside a pile of chocolate chips shaped into a hear. The text is: Try to assume at least SOME level of accessibility. Slide 23 of 55, dated June 11, 2013.

    When relying on accessibility testing tools, beware false negatives. They seem to happen around SC 4.1.1, including invalid HTML and ARIA nesting. And then there is Facebook’s use of ARIA to hide content from blockers. Facebook is the net negative.

    If you need not support IE, legacy Edge, or old Firefox, then you can ignore my under-engineered radio/checkbox post and lean on Scott’s approach instead: I updated my post to reference his at the top. Stop giving the checkbox role to <div>s you dolts.

    The safest Oktoberfest is the one you attend alone. Also the saddest.

    A folding wooden table on a brick patio, grass and flowers in the background of a domestic yard. On the table is a half liter Spaten Oktoberfest glass with two empty bottles, two takeaway hotdogs smothered in sauerkraut & brown mustard, and a packet of fries.

    If you’re vaxxed and still wearing a mask and staying away from people, please retweet because sometimes people try to make me feel different.

    This thread tracks nicely with my feedback to clients, “It does not matter that you internally only support WCAG 2.0. These are still WCAG 2.1 failures and choosing to ignore them does not help users nor protect you.”

    i've said before that accessibility experts aren't lawyers - see ... but you know what accessibility experts also aren't?

    “This survey collects information about what CSS frameworks / solutions developers use in combination with JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.” Anonymous, to be published on his site, may make it into a conference talk.

    Hey fam! I'm running a CSS-in-JavaScript survey to understand why different solutions are used, and I'd love for you to fill out the survey and share it with the world. RT for reach!

    This disappointments me. I watch devs break & misuse lists to force them into arbitrary columns. Retain grouping & item counts for AT: ul { column-count: 2; column-gap: 3em;} @​media (min-width:70em), print { ul { column-count: 4; column-gap: 2em; } }

    Did you use CSS multi-column at all in the last year?

    Close-up side view of my face, shorn, grumpy, one eyebrow raised as I side-eye into the camera, with a mouse cursor tattoo to the side of my eye like a teardrop. The text, “Say ‘alt tag’ again” printed over the photo. Mug: Tee: 💸

    printed message - meme: SAY 'ALT TAG' AGAIN background: Adrian Roselli looking menacing with a pointer cursor 'tattoo' like a teardrop below his left eye.

    Re-captions to come! Fun fact: In the after-party I saw and I had oddly similar shirts (pink, his with cactii, mine with coconuts), so I executed a quick wardrobe change (yellow stripes with palms), completed just before live stream started.

    Note that all videos from this year's event will be manually re-captioned in the coming weeks, just to make sure they're all at their best. Watch this space

    An example of an accessibility overlay failing to work on the overlay vendor’s own site. That skip you see at 0:12 is just the background YouTube video looping. This time it is , in my overlay post I showed broken the same way.

    0:15
    Not only does the ‘Stop Animations’ button *not* stop the background YouTube video, the button itself only changes its accName to convey that it fails to work. alt: autoplaying video, it does not react when I press ‘Stop Animations’ in MacAccess overlay.
