Feu d'jais 🥞Question d'accessibilité (je veux bien des liens si vous avez comme ça je peux apprendre la logique derrière).J'ai un menu dépliant. Ce menu peut contenir des sous-menus.Je me suis dit pour les logiciels d'aide à la navigation, que j'allais mettre "Réduire le menu foo", ou "Déplier le menu foo". Pour le sous-menu, je dois mettre "Déplier le menu bar" ou "Déplier le sous-menu bar du menu foo" ? Ou autre chose ?J'imagine qu'il ne sert à rien de rappeler dans quel menu on est, on le sait car on l'a entendu avant, de même que quand on annonce les items du menu, on a pas besoin de repréciser le menu dans lequel on est : "aller à l'item foobar du sous-menu bar du menu foo". Si je rajoute un niveau, c'est encore plus insupportable en plus.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/dev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dev</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a>

Jeri DanskyFolks using screen readers: How annoying is it to come across posts with a lot of emojis? I know those that use the clapping hands every other word are ones to avoid boosting, but what about someone who just adds five or so emojis in a row? Or scatters them throughout the post? How many is too many? I often see posts I'd like to boost, but the many emojis makes me hesitate. Edit to note: Thanks for all the replies so far! (More are still welcome, too.) I feel a summary post coming on, since many folks who don't use screen readers were oblivious to the concerns with emojis (and unicode characters, while I'm at it).<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a>

Jeri DanskyFinally got annoyed enough at some big long-time accounts never adding alt text to their images that I started blocking them. I already wasn’t following them, but people kept boosting them into my timeline. With a newer, smaller account I assume the person may just not know to use alt text, and I’ll sometimes send a polite private message complimenting an image and suggesting alt text, explaining why. This has been well received!But others should definitely know better by now.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltText</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Robert KingettI've already written to these folks, but other <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> people should know this. Having a separate, accessible, link to a tool that will help you choose a distro isn't accessible. The tool should be fully accessible by default. Can other accessibility folks point this out to them too? Oh and also, the link isn't visible to screen magnifier users, I am told, so the direct link to the accessible mode is <a href="https://distrochooser.de/?vim=true" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://distrochooser.de/?vim=true</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#A11y</a>

Terence EdenHey <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> friends - I have a question for you.I'm going through a web page which has *every* abbreviation and initialism spelled out.For example:<abbr title="Television">TV</abbr>Is that normal? Is it useful? This is a page aimed at an English-speaking audience of adults.Personally, I think it feels a bit much, but happy to be corrected.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/html" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#html</a>
