NarraScope relies on the generosity of sponsors, both individual and institutional, to ensure that each year's event can actually happen. Ticket sales only go partway.
We're fundraising for this year as always. If you can, please pitch in and help out: narrascope.org/pages/sponsor…

starting a cleaning service for people with ADHD. I won’t be doing any of the actual cleaning, I’ll just be calling you at random times to tell you I’m on my way to your house and I’ll be there in about 45 minutes

I was just at Starbucks in SF ordering an iced latte. The cashier asked if I would like to "round up" my purchase to support a local non-profit.
The non-profit was OpenAI.

The results of WebAIM's recent screen reader user survey are available at webaim.org/projects/screenre…
A summary of key findings is at webaim.org/blog/screen-reade…

Accessibility is usability for users with disabilities. Usability is subjective, and it could always be better, and the same is true of accessibility. (Except that sometimes software literally doesn’t work at all with a screen reader, and we have to fix those bugs.)

inaccessible UIs exist but
there are no “completely accessible” UIs
Once you get into the game it’s all contextual tradeoffs no matter what, folks act like there’s a technical spec to follow but it really becomes subjective UX design with few absolutes
I stopped being involved with web accessibility groups and discussions because folks get so zealous about it all thinking in absolutes
It’s good to care ofc, but that whole world gets way too intense for me

every TikTok video of a parrot doing something charming should begin and end with a 15-second clip of the words "this bird is a flying toddler that costs $3000 and never dies" over and over again

You are right, and the proof is: go to htmx.org/examples/ and try them in a screen reader, e.g. iOS VoiceOver. Whenever a random part of the page gets swapped in, the user receives no notification that this happened. a11y could be added in some cases, but not all.

God help me I'm sure I'll regret this, but, apparently htmx works in part by having api endpoints return pre-formed gobs of html. You post to an endpoint, work happens, and the endpoint returns an updated chunk of html you dump into the document
Isn't that bad for accessibility?

stephen king wrote a book about an alcoholic being scary, king himself being an alcoholic trying to articulate his fear of losing control. but because he was an alcoholic he also gives the character a sympathetic out. kubrick never does and it’s clearly why he hates the movie lol
