Send me a message where you explain your desire to learn accessibility, and we will take it from there! My mentorships have a high successrate: I have mentored 7 people since 2022, and 2 of them are working in accessibilty since their mentorship (for a few years already!). The others got more confident as developer, learned how to test for things. Maybe you are next?Wil je graag digitale toegankelijkheid leren of beter begrijpen? Mijn mentorship is weer open!

🧵 4/4Set the Epson #FastFoto scanner to at least 600dpi, preferably 1200dpi. Its default is only 300dpi. But NOTE that the larger the scan resolution, the more disk storage space they will need. The FastFoto will also scan a bit more slowly with the larger resolutions. Ditto for the flatbed scanner.Do not use USB thumb drives, as these are not reliable. Get at least one good 2-4 Tb SSDI external drive-- two, if you do not use #CloudStorage for your primary or backup copy."Always backup the backup of your backup." Do not rely on any one storage alone-- not even #TheCloud . Someday, you will lose that password or be unable to afford subscriptions anymore. When you die, how will your family access your online accounts? What will you do when the power is off and the WiFi goes down? Having an offline data storage system is vital. That being said, it's wonderful to be able to share photos by just sending a link to family members. The Cloud does have its advantages. Free Cloud accounts and free photo storage apps won't hold all of your photos by the time you get far along in the process. You will probably need to pay for extra Cloud space, if you use Cloud storage.BE AWARE that ALL Cloud storage accounts are scraped by #AI companies to train their chatbots. If, for any reason, this is something you're not comfortable with, don't put your photos online anywhere and don't use Cloud storage.In the beginning, overestimate your future data storage needs dramatically and you'll be better off.Every few years or so, plug in your offline storage to your lateat device and make sure the files are still accessible and the physical connections still work. Technology changes quickly, and unused storage devices can fail. It's important to check up on it regularly and convert media to the newer tech standard, while you still can. https://diggingintoyourfamilytree.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/avoiding-common-problems-part-2-file-management/#Genealogy #Archiving #FamilyPhotos #DataStorage #FileManagement #CloudStorage #Backups #ScanningPhotos @atfarnum

I love dark mode, but it mustn’t be the only option. For a lot of people, white text upon a dark background is illegible. Common eye conditions like astigmatism, myopia, and presbyopia can make content look foggy, become hard to focus on, and cause eye strain. #a11y #Accessibility

Accessibility Requirements at Project GutenbergTitle II of the Americans With Disabilities Act requires that government funded institutions in the US must adapt their websites and electronic resources to meet accessibility standards. In response, this month we posted reports in the VPAT format, which are available on our new accessibility page.https://www.gutenberg.org/a11y/#Ebooks #PublicDomain #a11y

I'm so tired. #a11y #Accessibility

@quaewpos Danke für die Information! Wir versuchen zu helfen und nicht zu schaden. Ich schätze jede Benachrichtigung über Schwachstellen.

@oblomov Years ago there was a debate on this, when Twitter was still progressive-friendly. It was convenient to use due to that 140 characters limit, like "localization" that's "l10n" and "internationalization" that's "i18n". The number of letters between the initial and final.Then the coincidence made it confusing as "a11y" has the two "1" numbers getting similar to a double "l" for sighted. Someone said that acronym had to die. But it's still used today.

Using CSS #animations as state machines to remember focus and hover states with #CSS only"I wanted to do this without #JavaScript, just with CSS, because I was going to use it in a demo about the new focusgroup web platform feature. Focusgroup handles a lot of keyboard navigation logic for you, for free, with only an #HTML attribute."https://patrickbrosset.com/articles/2026-03-09-using-css-animations-as-state-machines-to-remember-focus-and-hover-states-with-css-only/#frontend #webdev #a11y #accessibility

More Reasons to Delete Your #Javascript Series: Invoker Commands & Popovers APIsIn the past decade, #CSS and #HTML has made fantastic strides into JS’s territory with multiple new APIs and features, like scroll-driven animations and dialog elements. Last week, I got to experiment with extending my dialog elements to opening without any #JS whatsoever...https://amberweinberg.com/more-reasons-to-delete-your-javascript-series-invoker-commands-popovers-apis/#frontEnd #webdevelopment #webdev #a11y #accessibility

@Curve25519 Not yet available, unfortunately. Mostly because the idea of other people submitting merge requests I don't have the time to review or triage is daunting over anything else.

Everything you never wanted to know about visually-hidden. @db digs into the two-decade history of the visually-hidden CSS pattern, examining whether just `position: absolute` and `clip-path: circle(0)` suffice in 2026. The article explains why the platform still lacks a native alternative and why standardizing the hack might encourage misuse rather than address underlying design problems. #a11y #csshttps://dbushell.com/2026/02/20/visually-hidden/
