So, after hearing multiple posts on here, saying the clubhouse was completely inaccessible via its latest update, I decided to check it out. Indeed, it seems that Accessibility has been almost if not all completely broken. Clubhouse is a place for blind and visually impaired folks to get together exchange ideas, make new friends, etc. I would highly encourage any of the developers that are involved with Clubhouse, if they are on this platform, to please fix the accessibility issues that seem to be broken. #Accessibility #AccessibilityMatters.

I’m dealing with yet another wrinkle caused by my vision! 🙄 I tried using an authenticator app for 2FA, but it’s a race against time. ⏱️ The text-to-speech reads out the code, but by the time I switch apps, it’s already expired! 🤦‍♂️ #AccessibilityMatters

Apple to launch new accessibility features supporting users with disabilities.

Apple is set to launch three new accessibility functions to enable greater usability for people with disabilities.

The Assistive Access, Personal Voice and Point and Speak functions will be operational later this year.

Excited to try the Be my Ai beta! While intriguing, it's crucial for a #Blind individual like me that it's flawless. Much like self-driving cars, it's either perfection or it's not life changing. #AccessibilityMatters #TechForAll

Let's be clear about this: Accessibility is not a feature. Inaccessibility is a bug.

If your software or website is inaccessible, that renders it unusable to the end user. It is broken, in other words.

I am really, really, REALLY irritated by what I just saw. The #ImageDescription function of Microsoft's #Bing is outright lying to people with vision impairments about what appears in images it receives. It's bad enough when an #LLM is allowed to tell lies that a person can easily check for veracity themselves. But how the hell are you going to offer this so-called service to someone who can't check the claims being made and NEEDS those claims to be correct?

How long till someone gets poisoned because Bing lied and told someone it was food that hasn't expired when it has, or that it's safe to drink when it's cleaning solution, or God knows what? This is downright irresponsible and dangerous. #Microsoft either needs to put VERY CLEAR disclaimers on their service, or just take it down until it can actually be trusted.

Just learned from the birdsite (h/t @bbrfnt) that Amer. Inst. Math's (AIM) new space has 9.7 ACH w/ outside air, and they're working on a high-quality remote/hybrid setup.

Can't tell you how excited I am to start to see developments like this! #CleanTheAir #AccessibilityMatters

What does it mean to be an actor regarding one’s disability—and how can we design systems that don’t force people to “act?”

Don’t forget: Join us LIVE, today at 3pm ET for our 4th episode of Access Matters, Aira’s new podcast where this very topic will be discussed.

Is there any law or governing agency in any major country that requires web pages to meet basic accessibility standards? I'm sick to death of websites that I can't read because of motion I can't turn off or scroll past.

If there is such a law, please tell me how I can report content that doesn't meet those standards.

@llamasoft_ox Don't forget about #accessibility! I literally can't read articles with ads. The motion on the page makes it impossible for me because of my sensory processing disorder. And some people get motion sickness from it. The fact that we aren't offered a way to turn off motion is the main reason I use ad blockers. After swatting down popup ads with videos every 2 seconds for 2 minutes straight, I give up on reading the article at all.

I am reminded daily that disabled people are second class citizens whose needs aren't respected by the general population by the lack of an option to turn off all motion that isn't requested, neither in the browser nor by the ad "services" nor by the content providers. We aren't even an afterthought.

From now on, if someone posts an image with no #AltText, and someone else responds with alt text, I'm going to boost the alt text and not the original image. I encourage others to do the same.

If you post images for the punchiness, reach, or clout, this is your cue to be a little more prosocial about it.

It's unfortunate that I couldn't access 'Discovery' and 'Strange New Worlds' with audio description in the UK. So, today I resorted to alternative methods to acquire them - along with the entire film series, TNG, DS9 and even Voyager! I guess it's time for a throwback to my old handle - CockEyedJack! #AccessibilityMatters #AudioDescription #Blind #EnableNotDisable #DredPirateJack
