Why doesn’t AI work for producing accessible code? Because accessibility isn't about averages. alastairc.uk/2023/11/why-do…

For any accessibility curmudgeons (and non-curmudgeons), have I missed anything obvious from this list of improvements browsers could include? alastairc.uk/2023/10/access…

Over the years, there always seem to be two questions after an accessibility talk: “How do I persuade my boss?” And “What’s the best tool to use?” There might be a new one: “does AI negate the need for accessibility work?"

Listening to @themonkeycage and wondering if the point of life is to evolve sufficiently to prevent the heat death of the universe. As you do.

I wonder: If @UKLabour announced that they would rescind the licenses in the next parliament, would anyone take up these licenses?

It's important to measure compared to the alternatives. The study said "One hour of ... videoconferencing can emit between 150 and 1,000 grams of carbon dioxide... a car produces about 8,887 grams from burning one gallon of gasoline." So a magnitude better than office meetings?

I'm generally inclined to believe what the Bank of England says over the Government, but this is an important thread on inflation. I don't know if it's all correct, but it is an explanation of why the BoE's policy isn't working.

Phew, done! My favourite line was: "It's much easier to know if accessibility has been incorporated by looking at the creation process, than looking at the final output." Video available Friday...

Hmm, just had a very realistic (but automated) sales call for life insurance. I hesitated too long and it misunderstood and jumped into the next section. Now I'm wondering if it was recorded snippets or ML-generated...

Possibly the best p0wn I've seen, and with a disability angle.

Arg, reading (another provider's) audit and over 50% of the issues are under the wrong SC, 20% are misunderstanding the expected behaviour of screenreaders, and 15% are just wrong. <facepalm gif>

Rishi Sunak in genius mode… explaining why having full access to UK home market and EU Single Market is so prized by investors. Could even explain why UK’s massive internal investment dropped when Brexit pulled England, Scotland and Wales out of exactly that enviable position.

Hmm, my (known) financial services provider has sent me "secure" email that asks you to open an HTML attachment that then takes you a registration page... how is that good practice?
