Si vous utilisez Firefox et Europresse pour lire des articles de presse (via le pass BNF, au hasard) et que vous n'en pouvez plus de cet horrible texte justifié et écrit trop petit, vous avez dû remarquer que le mode lecture de Firefox ne fonctionne pas sur ce site.

J'ai l'extension qu'il vous faut pour retrouver un confort de lecture parfait : Activate reader view. Elle force le mode lecture à être disponible. Et voilà 🥳

addons.mozilla.orgActivate Reader View – Adoptez cette extension pour 🦊 Firefox (fr)Télécharger Activate Reader View pour Firefox. This add-on adds a button to the toolbar. Clicking on it activates the Reader View even if the icon in the address bar is not present.

I will be going to London, UK and Paris, France from mid-to-end of August to speak at a conference and do some research for my PhD:

Does anyone have good suggestions for queer archives, design, or textile-related things to check out in and around those cities?

🗿 the ARIA combobox role has gone through some changes during its specified life. It is worth reading about it in its latest incarnation in ARIA 1.3

#aria #a11y #WebStandards

w3c.github.io/aria/#combobox

w3c.github.ioAccessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.3Accessibility of web content requires semantic information about widgets, structures, and behaviors, in order to allow assistive technologies to convey appropriate information to persons with disabilities. This specification provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that define accessible user interface elements and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications. These semantics are designed to allow an author to properly convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies in document-level markup. This version adds features new since WAI-ARIA 1.1 [wai-aria-1.1] to improve interoperability with assistive technologies to form a more consistent accessibility model for [HTML] and [SVG2]. This specification complements both [HTML] and [SVG2].

While everyone is gleefully grabbing their popcorn buckets to watch toddlers squabble, the Department of Energy is attempting to remove the regulations that require buildings be made accessible to disabled people.

There are only ten days left to submit comments opposing this latest attack on the disabled community.

If you, your family, friends, acquaintances, or hell, even enemies, have any sort of physical disability or may in the future (which means, yes, _everyone_), please take a few minutes to submit comments against this. Templates and instructions are at the bottom of the linked page.

(For the record, I don't entirely subscribe to the "planned distractions" conspiracy theories; I tend to lean more towards believing that they're simply burning everything down so fast that there are always horrible things going on _and_ distractions grabbing our attention.)

Law Office of Lainey Feingold · New Attempt to Rollback Accessibility Requirements - Comments NeededFor over forty years the United States has had regulations that say new buildings must be accessible to people with disabilities if the building is built by an organization that receives federal funds. Now the trump administration is taking the first steps to undo this long history of access in the

This question caught me off guard: “Over the past 5 years, which feature has had the biggest impact on how you write CSS?”

Fucking `display: contents`. Holy shit has that cost me so much time.

Which, for reasons unclear to me, the survey listed as a 2025 feature?

About a month ago, I had the privilege of presenting #FreeBSD at the Institute for the Blind in Milan, during an event held in connection with #GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day). It was a profoundly meaningful experience that deepened my commitment to digital accessibility and the development of assistive technologies.

I'm excited to share that the #Accessibility Handbook, focused on vision-related assistive technologies in FreeBSD, is nearly complete. This task has been made possible thanks to the tireless dedication of FreeBSD community volunteers and the support of the @FreeBSDFoundation for new projects and documentation centered on visual accessibility.
