This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

Week 7. In this weeknote, I mentioned the @eleventy conference, linked to a post by @JonathanMosen about the Sonos app update, and included other miscellaneous points.
Hi friends,
The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.
I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.
I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org
Boosts appreciated
There was an interesting #accessibility question in the #11tyConf chat I wanted to surface.
Say your site styles are responding to the `prefers-contrast: less` media query. Must they still conform to the relevant 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios when the media query is active?
You can be optionally notified if you forget to add an alt text description to an image, video or audio. Here's how to activate it:
1. Follow @PleaseCaption
2. The account will follow you back
3. If you post media without alt text, PleaseCaption will automatically send you a DM about it
If you want to delete a reminder, ⭐ favourite it and PleaseFollow will delete the reminder.
If you want to stop the reminders, block and unblock the PleaseCaption account.
A few extra seconds of your time it takes to add a good image description can really improve someone's day.
"To a totally blind person like me it means a lot to have a picture in my mind of your images, especially the animal pics."
"I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content."

What is alt text? Alternative text (or alt text, in short) is the text you can use to describe an image when you publish it on your website or social media.Alt Text Hall of Fame
It's also true that many #hacking tools, platforms, courses etc. could use some help in the #accessibility department. It's a neverending vicious circle.
Enter my new twitch channel, IC_null. On this channel, I will be streaming #programming and #hacking content including THM, HTB and who knows what else, from the perspective of a #screenReader user.
What I need, is an audience. If this is something you reckon you or anybody you know might be interested in, drop the channel a follow or share this post. Gimme that #infoSec Mastodon sense of comradery and help me out to make this idea an actual thing :) https://twitch.tv/ic_null #tryHackMe #streamer #selfPromo
