Can anyone recommend a modern body weight scale that is accessible, either via self-voicing, or bluetooth connection? If via self-voicing, anything that doesn't shout the measured weight so loud, that anyone within 500 feet can hear it? Anyone who has used these products in the past will most certainly be aware that the "blind equals deaf" stereotype that is clearly pervasive in the overwhelming majority of these products. I'm hoping there is something out there that does not make this assumption, and has a volume adjustment beyond mute and yell.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Even though I backed #Tapestry by the @Iconfactory on #Kickstarter, I just subscribed through the #Apple #AppStore. Their apps are always so #accessible with VoiceOver on Apple devices. I love backing developers that care that much about #accessibility.
Sorry - but first can we make basic #healthcare for the entire #world #population #free and #accessible before we wonder about #AI helping find new medication? And before you quote #obama on "walk and chew gum" - there is zero evidence of that actually happening in the real world.

Talk To Me, Not Around Me: The Erasure of Disabled Voices in Everyday Interaction
It's a scenario that plays out far too often. A visibly disabled person approaches a counter, before they can get a word in, the employee turns...

Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.
- But this seriously isn't funny anymore, but insulting!

Today in #history: In 1978, The Gang of 19 - a group of #disability rights advocates - threw themselves in front of public busses in Denver and blocked a major intersection until representatives of the transportation department were willing to discuss the absence of wheelchair #accessible busses. This #protest is considered one of the foundational events that spurred the disability rights movement that ultimately led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Used an #accessible toilet at work.
It had the standard green "push to open door" button, which opens the door inward when pushed. That's normal.
There was no door-handle at all, so, it's completely impossible to open the door from the inside in a power-cut situation.
Is this common?

soooo ... do we have any #screenReader #accessible PC hardware monitoring tools that ... y'know ... aren't awful? I don't mean CPU/RAM usage, more ... voltages, component temps, etc.
So far stuff I've looked at (speccy, hardwareMonitor) just haven't been great and basically have me saving a text file and ctrl+f-ing my way through it which ... works, but is a little silly if there's a perfectly good UI right there
Does anyone have an #accessible #irc #client for #WindowsXP? Discord, as you can imagine, is proving rather difficult to use, so I'd like to use IRC instead for the communities I'm a part of that have both. Thanks in advance!
Example of something that might be technically #accessible with a keyboard, but in reality is probably unusable: 141 consecutive checkboxes in the tab order. #accessibility

@maxleibman And let's think about how #AI actually does help people. #Blind people, for example, who don't always have a visual interpreter around and/or can't afford to pay for one, can totally pull up an AI to tell us what that can is on our counter, or what the buttons are on our devices, rendering the world more #accessible for us. AI just needs to be handled with more responsibility is all. AI in itself isn't bad, it's just what people are doing with it and how they handle it that are the problem.

@wetell Ihr könntet wie @guardianproject nen #Fdroid-Repo launchen.
Dann kriegen Leute auch automatisch #Updates angeboten.
- Besser noch: Ihr macht einfach ne #accessible [ohne #JavaScript, schon garnicht von Drittanbietern aus dem Nicht-#EU - Ausland!) #Webseite die problemlos via #LynxBrowser über #Iridium / #Tor funktioniert (unter bspw.
mein.wetell.de) und die paar Optionen die eure Kunden je bräuchten (Tarifwechsel, Kundendaten ändern, Kündigen, Wechselservice, ...) dort einfach angeboten werden.
Schließlich wird eure #App wahrscheinlich wie alle anderen auch nur nen glorifizierer WebView sein welcher ne nicht-öffentliche Website aufruft und den Rest per #API umsetzt.
