@ADHDForReal is there a name for this avoidance? it sucks to just suck

@FrankElavsky what about just html tables and css? ha this actually uses POUR-CAF as the nodes. #edges" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nbviewer.org/github/tonyfas…

@JungleSilicon yea i love this idea. when the web content accessibility guidelines fall short i turn to game accessibility guidelines gameaccessibilityguidelines.com is pretty good beacon for even making web content
English
@DocFast yeah for sure… i mean, bit of a sidestep but i was talking to a friend recently about how we now have the tools to easily describe / control characters in games using our voice but nobody is really doing it.
i think there’s a whole new wave of accessibility possible here.

who's building the screenshot -> html + css workflow?
you'd get pretty far being able to identify:
- border radius
- color palette
- font
- copy
llm's could generate the core structure, if you fed them additional values i think it would do a good job of reconstructing it.

@JungleSilicon i still think it might be harder than we'd like. the training data of accessibility is not great.
i've noticed the decomposition work you've been doing and i wonder how an a11y mindset increases the part space. a11y makes you design around how things look, sound, and feel
English
@DocFast i mean maybe, i don’t think that would be too hard.
worst case just have a human alter it later.
i’m mostly interested in this for being able to decompose / remix & explore design space quickly.

@palewire @ProjectJupyter cool seeing the course start with pandas. makes a lot of sense for journalists.

📣 Earlier this year, I hosted an online class in which nearly 300 students learned how journalists use Python and @ProjectJupyter to analyze data.
All of the materials are now unlocked and free to all, including a step-by-step screencast.
Go get it at firstpythonnotebook.org

"Vision language models are blind" vlmsareblind.github.io - I completely agree and thinking a lot about how to fix this, thanks for the paper!

@mmitchell_ai this is so true especially when designing accessibility tools for disabled folks and assistive technology users. "nothing about without us" rings specifically true in AI times

I love tech, and I also love consent.
The two can go together. But years of Groupthink effect has created a paradigm where it's one or the other. Diversity and participatory design--with people who may be negatively affected by tech--are fundamental for creating tech well.

5/ I shouldn’t need to explain to Big Tech that copyrighted & private data, should not be used to train GenAi without consent. I shouldn’t have to provide further evidence than “I do not consent to this”. Media, government and regulatory agencies need to tackle this ASAP.

@simonw activating speak screen in your #accessibility settings provides a two finger swipe down gesture to listen to a any app with speakable content. its such a great accessibility feature without going full in on a screen reader youtube.com/watch?v=tBfcPu…

A quick TIL today: you can listen to a full web page in Mobile Safari by selecting the "Listen to this page" - then accessing the same menu a second time to get controls for the rate of speaking, pause and skip-forwards/skip-backwards til.simonwillison.net/ios/listen-to-…

@SaraSoueidan @ericwbailey this repository is a such great resource. there is a python package called accessible-pygments that implements these themes for folks using pygments syntax highlighting. this package is growing in popularity and being used in more scientific documentation. pypi.org/project/access…

If you're looking for a code syntax highlighter with an accessible color theme, @ericwbailey has a couple for you—one dark theme, and one light theme:

@DocFast What would it take to get a repoducible online version of that?
