'Disabled people who want to work say they can’t due to a ‘chronically underfunded’ welfare system and accessibility issues'

Cutting benefits doesn't get disabled people into work it just gets us into poverty.

Dark mode (non-dim) is better but still fails all accessbility checks and the Dim dark mode is only marginally better. yeesh.

this is such a letdown, handled so poorly. blizz insists they're not killing stuff like weakauras and elvui, but the fact is the changes you're making ARE killing these addons which are essential to many of us for accessbility. @zorbrix.com @aramisx.bsky.social @thewindstalker.bsky.social

It's good to see Sakurai not only openly supported games with detailed accessbility features but also give it a try with his next game.

I'd want to visit every outdoor space that claimed accessbility, and which actually WAS accessible for people in wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Sadly, I doubt it would be many.

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

Netflix does not give a damn about subs, plain simple. They have had one of the worst text outline for years, no accessbility, no nothing. All competitors did much better, even smaller ones like HIDIVE.
In many non-english Netflix instances, programs are plagued with MTL subs. They don't care.

Saw some threads earlier about greatest lyricists. I think you have to differentiate for different purposes of lyrics.

For instance, accessbility: I respect Linkin Park's vagueness and ability to make generic enough lyrics that make a point that resonate with EVERYONE who's ever been lonely.

Yeah, I'll find them but I was thinking of what consideration they give to new users (if there are any left) or accessbility.

The current ones having a "P"/"W"/"X" on them helps a lot.

and from the second one. this one actually at least does specifically ask for an easy mode but it's still like a conversation starter. the author did nothing except say they would like more options in game rather than hitting walls. but someone who doesn't read beyond headlines wouldn't know that.
screenshots from the second article: Update: Since publishing this, there’s been some interesting conversation on Twitter and elsewhere. Below, I’m posting a Twitter thread from accessbility expert Ian Hamilton about accessibility, difficulty and how developers can think about these issues, as well as this article by game developer Garrick “Doc” Burford about his experience playing From Software titles as someone with a physical disability. Article continues below the tweet. @davethier “easy mode” is a really blunt instrument, there are other ways. To start with it is worth looking at what the designer’s intent is, what they want the players to experience. Many assume that From’s goal is to make games that require a high skill bar; that’s not true. — Ian Hamilton (@ianhamilton_) March 28, 2019 screenshots from the second article: My problem with these is that I don’t think I’d write any of these articles if I didn’t like them so much. There are other difficult games I won’t play, and whatever. But the difficulty is only one part of what defines these games for me, and honestly, it’s not the most important part. From Software has some of the best world building in the business and, I would argue, the best character design. Early on in Sekiro I had to sneak under a bridge, where I found this bizarre, misshapen hermit man that lunged at me with a wicked knife from underneath a broad straw hat. It was gross and strange, the sort of thing you can almost smell, the first glimpse I had had of the malformed underbelly of this world I had only taken my first steps into. That’s what I remember from Bloodborne more than anything: something about the lonely horrible way these characters move is so endlessly fascinating that I could watch them all day, and every time I see one I just need to see the rest. Lots of developers have attempted to imitate From’s style of aggressively spare storytelling that relies on opaque item descriptions and occasional short dialogue to build out worlds that seem so much larger than our own character’s comprehension, but only Hollow Knight ever came close to what makes these games special. screenshots from the second article: What’s particularly galling about Sekiro is that all other From Software games at least had a sort of safety valve to allow you to move past the game’s most difficult boss encounters with a little help by summoning other players into your game. Sekiro removes even that, and so if you run up against a brick wall, that’s it. Either beat your head against that wall or stop playing. It’s the lack of a summon mode that prevented me from sinking too much of my psyche in the game. I was able to beat the chained ogre without too much trouble–even without the fire thing–and so, I don’t know, maybe I could keep doing well in this game. But I do not like the idea of coming up against a boss that I can’t beat without a week of frustration, and so I can’t let myself get obsessed with this one. There’s a lot of talk about “respecting the player” when it comes to not including an easy mode, an idea that all players can and should play this game in this particular, punishing way. And yet I think the lack of an easy mode showcases the exact opposite. It shows an almost stunning lack of respect for players with the idea that they cannot be trusted with their own gameplay experience, that even those who want a challenging game would somehow be lured by the siren song of lower difficulties and destroy their own experience because they’re too impatient or immature to know what they actually want. The summoning system is a perfect example of this: I never used it once while playing Bloodborne, because I knew what experience I wanted. I didn’t get as into Dark Souls 3, and so I used it liberally.

New accessibility statement added to our campaign story. Important info for Kickstarter users with access needs.

I encourage all creators who advocate for an equitable world for all to follow suit.

Disability pride flag (visually safe version), with an overlaying Kickstarter 'K' insignia, and a text caption. The text is a repeat of the content of this post.

On an acceptable level, no.
There’s a couple of Accessbility settings that can help, but you trade minor access improvements with greater ugliness

Also jerky AF.

If this is local gov commissioned, seems Civica Election Services Ltd managed to circumnavigate a service assessment and missed testing in browsers for accessibility and basic UI principles
A browser has an overlay of FAQ, Policy and Accessbility statement over it's main display

i am not defending apple for liquid glass or whatever, but back when they started doing weird UI experiments years back i turned on the "high contrast" and "reduce transparency" accessibility settings and never looked back. it's "less pretty" but at least i can reason about separate elements lol
macOS System Settings, Accessbility, Display settings with the "Increase contrast" and "Reduce transparency" sliders turned on iOS System Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text Size settings with "Reduce Transparency" and "Increase Contrast" toggles turned on.

1. To consider a game completed, you must have run the course of the game's base content. DLC is optional, and it can be on any difficulty, this is about passion for Mecha, accessbility is important "In gunpla, you build what you love!"

Not saying "motherlode" is itself an accessbility cheat.

Though, I suppose it could be! Perhaps for a busy gamer who mostly enjoys the game for building and doesn't want to grind through live mode, it would put them on an equal playing field with those of us who can.

You know... with games having features like arachnophobia mode, colorblind and all kind of stuff.

I lowkey wish some games had an "autistic fuck" mode. That just bracketed stuff.

What was nuts is that they didn't call me out on the notebooks I'm also providing. I mean, there are students who must use laptops for accessibility. My policy is sensitive to that. But no, they think I'm a total asshole abt accessbility bc of the pens.
