I run Fedora Linux with XFCE desktop and I'm trying to get speakup #screenreader operational. The modules are all compiled in the kernel but from there I'm lost. Accessability wants Orca to run but I hate gnome.

Surely there is a simple document showing me but I have been googling all day. Rather DDG

Thanks ahead.

I just overheard someone mocking a child for not reading the signs to find the toilets in a cafe. I bet they don't like it when abroad and the toilet signs don't have the 🚻 pictograms. #a11y #accessability

"[T]he National Library Board’s (NLB) Accessible Membership for people with disabilities [...] was launched at the beginning of 2023.

using voiceover on a mac is a TRIP!! If you're going to turn it on for testing, may I suggest running through the training tutorial, and also these handy links:

happy #Accessability testing/implementing!!

#IHaveAlwaysJustAssumeThat people would use camel case for multiword hashtags if it was explained that it was necessary for screen readers and #accessability

I guess I was wrong. 💔

I'm a cradle #Catholic. I did all the stuff (Baptism, Fist Communion, Confirmation) as a wee lad. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. I explored other faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. I explored Protestant fellowships but soon began seeking "the deeper things" back in the lives of saints. This led to a deep dive into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early church history. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. That church became tedious as well. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world here I am. I recently stumbled across a podcast called the #PopeFrancisGeneration. I'm intrigued. I am listening. Let's see where my current studies lead.

Hello mastodon.radio! This is my #introduction

I've had my foundation licence for years but don't use the radio much. Enjoyed bringing morse to the masses when I worked at a local museum.

Interested in #tech #inclusion #accessability #heritage #history #darkhumour #LGBTQ and absolutely rubbish movies like #theMeg and #IndependanceDay

Bit of a voyeur so probably just read toots but hoping I'll get over my anxiety and get involved too

Hey y’all! What fun festivities in Atlanta are going on this summer? Preferably something disability /accessibility friendly. Thanks #atl #atlanta #summer #fun #disability #ability #accessability

@hallen Yes, Metatext is good, but @MonaApp is my favorite! It's by far the best Mastodon app I've used to date & it's available on all #Apple platforms. The developer has also clearly demonstrated a commitment to #accessability & for that, I believe he deserves all the credit in the world!

Mapping Museums team awarded £1M by Arts and Humanities Research Council for their project ‘Museum Closure in the UK 2000-2025’.

They will look at closure and collections dispersal within the UK and document objects and knowledge transfer after closure.

uh okay people if you're screenshotting a post from tumblr your #ALTtext needs to include the username of the person who wrote the post, and the fact that it's a tumblr post. Not just the text from the post. If you are not crediting the user who wrote it that's just theft.

I got a call tonight, from a number I didn’t recognize. They didn’t leave a message. I accidentally called them back, but only let it ring once, before hanging up. Has anyone tested this feature yet that would be willing to speak to its #accessability with #voiceover?

@devinprater #kde is doing a good thing with #accessability. I just hope they continue, and wish that I could contribute to their mission in other ways than monetary. Maybe when I get some more time on my hands.

Anyone using #obsidiannotes as their PKM tool of choice? I’ve read that #accessability has improved somewhat when they switched editor libraries, and am curious to hear peoples opinions.

@NekoArc

Would also be a good idea to enable gardening for kids.
A small box as a step and kids can reach everything over the raised bed.

So maybe four, at least two curves might be an idea?

@KitMuse what's it called?
Does it include #accessability?

Today I am learning about #localisation and #internationalisation with #Python. For somebody who's never dug into #gettext etc before, I'm finding there are *very* few tutorials that start from scratch of "OK, here's how to start internationalising your strings, and then generating templates to be localised".
I found this one, https://phrase.com/blog/posts/translate-python-gnu-gettext/, which has gotten me off the ground, but gosh it was hard to find.
