While I'm talking about games: #stardew Access is so, so close to being actually fun, with a good time freeze and autofishing addon. Unfortunately, I just can't get past the way pathfinding fails sometimes, and the way crops that are watered randomly don't update to show they're watered, and the way NPCs run around like pixies when you want to talk to them, so by the time pathfinding finishes they're already gone, and the way getting into bed is still a matter of trial and error. It makes things that would otherwise be fun into a chore. But, like, the mod itself is done well enough that it makes Stardew feel like a native #audiogame, if it wasn't for the weird bugs and issues. And the game is fully playable, from what I can tell. I just can't get into the relaxing cozy vibe when I'm trying to figure out the exact direction to approach my bed at night, or wondering why the plants aren't getting watered when I'm using my watering can right on the tile, or chasing an NPC across the map who keeps walking away from me when I wanna talk to them. github.com/stardew-access/stardew-access #a11y

Hey les gens doués en accessibilité !

Il y a pas longtemps je me demandais comment rendre une liste d'articles infinis accessibles ? Typiquement une liste d'un flux RSS ou imaginons des posts sur un réseau social, quand on tabule, on finit dans une prison avec un scroll infini.

J'ai trouvé l'idée du bouton avant le feed pour dire "activer scroll infini" ou "désactiver le scroll infini". Si on le désactive, on a un bouton "Charger plus". Ça signifie qu'il faut quand même se taper les pages donc si c'est par listes de 20 items, ça fait 20 items avant de pouvoir sortir.

Aujourd'hui, j'en discutais avec un collègue et il suggérait que la tabulation focus la div (ou la section) qui embarque les articles. Quand on a le focus dessus, on appuie sur Entrée ou Espace pour rentrer dedans. Si on rentre dedans, on tabule pour naviguer dedans. On a Ctrl + Home pour revenir avant le feed et Ctrl + End pour aller juste après le feed.

Qu'est-ce que vous pensez de cette solution ?

Edit: Viele nennen Owncast, falls ihr noch andere Ideen habt gern nennen.
Ich hab auf dem alten Account mal eine Opensourcealternative zu Twitch gesagt bekommen, erinner mich aber nicht mehr. Die wichtigsten Funktionen wären für mich die Möglichkeit über OBS dort zu streamen und den chat so einbinden zu können, dass mir die Nachrichten automatisch vom ScreenReader vorgelesen werden, wie ich es auch bei Twitch habe. Am besten wär natürlich, wenn das ganze zugänglich mit ScreenReader ist, sonst brauch ichs gar nicht probieren. #FediHelp #AskFedi #A11Y #ScreenReader

Deque scrubbed its axe-con talk — with its goal of 100% coverage in automated WCAG testing — from YouTube and its event page with no acknowledgment that I’ve seen.

I captured slides, transcript, and YouTube chat, but not video itself (anchor):
