Good thread.
Though not mentioned, I think accessibility fits squarely in this phenomenon — to value it, one must appreciate the complexity of the world we’re building for, and care about social good.
Viewpoints antithetical to the sort of company these people want to run.

That's where the "incompetence" comes in. It's an owner class looking at products that have become far more complicated than they ever imagined, and going, "That can't possibly be right????"

Seems like a good time to convene a workhop on Mastodon basics. Blind and #a11Y allied folks - anyone actually - let's do this!

Dear @Meetup: Alert! I've spoken at #Meetups in SF, Chicago, Toronto about digital accessibility + disability inclusion. It is SO DISAPPOINTING to find an overlay on your site. Please take it down ASAP if you care about Meetups being inclusive overlayfactsheet.com #a11y 1/2

For anyone here who wants to try mastodon but finds the whole process a bit much, I wrote a very simple step-by-step guide to starting up: sarahmhigley.com/writing/mastod…
Includes semantic descriptions and accessibility info on the signup process :)

I’ll be there at vis.social/@codingchaos.
Not leaving twitter yet, but I’d love to stay in touch there if/when this all falls apart 🥲

Just to clarify, I think a good-faith example of a v0 thing is it lacking features, or still having bugs — even accessibility bugs.
A bad-faith “just isn’t ready” is a thing whose very design has fundamental unaddressed accessibility concerns.

For those asking for my slides from the #A11YTO conference here they are! Sorry for the wait but I feel like I just literally got home with all the travel lately.

Slides from my talk ‘role=dice’ at #a11yTOgaming last Saturday:

Tagged PDF, videos, links from my #a11yTOconf talk ‘Under-Engineered Patterns’:

I learned a valuable lesson: I cannot follow my script when giving an IRL talk.

Love @annaecook killing her talk and calling out that ARIA often doesn’t need to be included in design accessibility annotations

“We shouldn’t hold back the web just because screen readers/assistive tech/ARIA aren’t there yet”
has a subtext of:
“I fundamentally see the web as a platform designed for sighted mouse users, that is then adapted for disabled people”
which is, in fact, ableism.

I’ve never heard anyone suggest a core feature that only works for keyboard or screen reader users, but doesn’t work with a mouse.
“We’ll roll out mouse support when mouse hardware and APIs improve”

That sounds ridiculous, but only because everything is so firmly centered around pointer access.
People then assume assistive tech and accessibility apis are the problem, rather than that our entire approach to web design and the web platform is ableist.

Updated today:
Quick(er) Note on ARIA and Windows High Contrast Mode
scottohara.me/blog/2019/02/1…
pruned out some outdated info, and provided an example of styling ARIA links and buttons with high contrast media queries (legacy -ms- and standard forced-colors)
