So that was it, no more TW Blue. You can't even re-authorize your sessions, just wow.

RT @aardrian@toot.cafe “CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible” adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-on… Loosely, those CSS-only controls (such as a hamburger trigger that uses the checkbox hack) you see (from every Dribble build or Codepen contest) are generally a problem for many (1/2)

@twynn92 @BlindHerald Would be curious as well, I also know a lot of folks who run a business or just do consulting privately / as non-W2, and for those situations it can be simpler to hire someone. I don't think Turbotax would pass a WCAG evaluation and I'm surprised less has gotten spoken around it.

@tamaccess So for filing taxes, blind folks just hire accountants? You would think ACB or NFB would have made this a priority... @BlindHerald, any recommendations?

Looks like Turbo Tax still has buttons labeled "[object Object]" during the tax review screen. Nice going on accessibility, Intuit. Normally you rock this.

@twynn92 Since retirement / investment stuff is simple to report through them I said screw it. But the amount of upgrade nag screens, and inconsistent radio button selectors that sometimes don't highlight with arrows alone, and a bunch of other stuff still surprised me. They've had time.

@tamaccess FreeTaxUSA has its own pretty egregious accessibility issues. Is there any decent one out there?

@twynn92 I haven't heard of one, which is why a lot of people I know hire accountants, but my tax situation was simple this year with a single W-2, and Turbo had my past years of data so they sucked me in.

This NVDA updating has wasted an hour of my workday across multiple machines. What a Monday. I will give this to them: It does not break speech synthesizers or many major things, just annoyances if anything

@dlee_code @tspivey Guess the site hasn't been updated, but the release is downloadable from: github.com/NVDARemote/NVD…

@ground024 try github.com/NVDARemote/NVD…

Tried updating the manifest.ini for NVDA remote addon as I did with IBMTTS but it seemed to have a bug where I would get stuck controling remote machine, so it may need more updates to work correctly.

yes same exactly, don't do the #NVDASR update until this gets updated.

NVDA 2023.1 is now available! New paragraph options, link destination & annotated web content keystrokes, new Braille tables, fixes for Kindle, Windows 11, Office, Chrome, Firefox, web, java and more! Read the full what's new & download from: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2023…

Progress Over Perfection: A Better Way to #Accessibility: buff.ly/3UlDy3Y #A11y

#CSUNATC23 history (2009): smiling Kathy Martinez (now with @Expedia) @BerkeleyBlink (now a @macfound genius + at Amazon) and me, still @LFLegal. And we'll all be in Anaheim this week, 14 years later. #A11y

Super busy with Axe-con for the next two days.

@FreakyFwoof I think if you expand it with alt+ down arrow it should, but sometimes with just down arrow it doesn't? Not entirely sure though

I re-tested auto-translation of `aria-label`. Chrome & Edge offer auto-translation. Firefox, Safari, et al, do not (I recall Safari 14 / iOS 11 had it, but I cannot find it now?). Still little or no support. #Update04" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">adrianroselli.com/2019/11/aria-l… Do not rely on it. #accessibility #a11y

The GitHub contributions chart is now far more accessible than it was (for logged in users only): github.com/orgs/community… Follows up from my earlier ask: github.com/orgs/community… Still has issues: #Update05" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">adrianroselli.com/2018/02/github… Seems a bit verbose in SRs.

no CSUN this year, doing Axe-con instead. sorry
