For those of you following the progress on WCAG 3, the next update is here! This article includes the details and insights from the co-chairs of the group: whollyaccessible.org/2024/12/11/wca… Remember: WCAG 3 drafts do not replace WCAG 2. More info: w3.org/WAI/standards-…
Why doesn’t AI work for producing accessible code? Because accessibility isn't about averages. alastairc.uk/2023/11/why-do…
For any accessibility curmudgeons (and non-curmudgeons), have I missed anything obvious from this list of improvements browsers could include? alastairc.uk/2023/10/access…
Over the years, there always seem to be two questions after an accessibility talk: “How do I persuade my boss?” And “What’s the best tool to use?” There might be a new one: “does AI negate the need for accessibility work?"
WCAG 2.2 is now published as a Web Standard (“W3C Recommendation”)! For an introduction to WCAG, see WCAG 2 Overview w3.org/WAI/standards-… There are a few updates in #WCAG 2 FAQ w3.org/WAI/standards-… And new "In briefs" in What's New in WCAG 2.2 w3.org/WAI/standards-…
Listening to @themonkeycage and wondering if the point of life is to evolve sufficiently to prevent the heat death of the universe. As you do.
Open position! #W3C #WAI is seeking an Accessibility Specialist to work on digital accessibility standards and supporting materials. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the vision of an accessible digital future. See: w3.org/careers/2023-a… #a11y #wcag #hiring #job
I wonder: If @UKLabour announced that they would rescind the licenses in the next parliament, would anyone take up these licenses?
Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security
It's important to measure compared to the alternatives. The study said "One hour of ... videoconferencing can emit between 150 and 1,000 grams of carbon dioxide... a car produces about 8,887 grams from burning one gallon of gasoline." So a magnitude better than office meetings?

I'm generally inclined to believe what the Bank of England says over the Government, but this is an important thread on inflation. I don't know if it's all correct, but it is an explanation of why the BoE's policy isn't working.
Getting your model wrong is one thing. Getting your policy wrong is something else when that policy has real-world implications, and they are the opposite of what you intend. That, I suggest is what is happening right now. Interest rate rises are creating inflation.
Phew, done! My favourite line was: "It's much easier to know if accessibility has been incorporated by looking at the creation process, than looking at the final output." Video available Friday...

Hmm, just had a very realistic (but automated) sales call for life insurance. I hesitated too long and it misunderstood and jumped into the next section. Now I'm wondering if it was recorded snippets or ML-generated...
Possibly the best p0wn I've seen, and with a disability angle.
Arg, reading (another provider's) audit and over 50% of the issues are under the wrong SC, 20% are misunderstanding the expected behaviour of screenreaders, and 15% are just wrong. <facepalm gif>
Rishi Sunak in genius mode… explaining why having full access to UK home market and EU Single Market is so prized by investors. Could even explain why UK’s massive internal investment dropped when Brexit pulled England, Scotland and Wales out of exactly that enviable position.
"A new maturity to the UK government we haven't seen before"
Glancing through the legal documents, the Stormont brake is pretty limited as I'd expect, though something. The UK / EU single market overlap is quite cleverly done. Glad to see commitments to proper consultation. A new maturity to the UK government we haven't seen before.
Hmm, my (known) financial services provider has sent me "secure" email that asks you to open an HTML attachment that then takes you a registration page... how is that good practice?
