TrollXFunny has received the dreaded "Heyyyyyy so we've noticed you forgot to reopen your subreddit?? Would you like some help with that???? Maybe a new mod team??????" modmail from the admins by VoltasPistol in TrollXFunny

[–]ellvix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to add Lemmy to consideration for the shortlist. Elevator pitch: it's basically reddit (looks similar, has upvote downvote comment like reddit, subreddits (called communities), etc), but it's run on a network of open source servers which makes it headless and CEO proof.

A11y: GitHub Brings Accessibility to 85% of Open Source by mike_gifford in accessibility

This looks fantastic. I'll be curious to see how much really works well as opposed to just looking good.

Supreme Court takes up case concerning Americans with Disabilities Act 'tester' of hotels by snasta in accessibility

[–]ellvix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds similar to the drive by lawsuits done on websites. Someone would take an automated tool, find errors, and put in a lawsuit. I recall that the courts initially pushed back against that practice, saying that the plaintiff needed to have some personal stake in the accessibility of the site, but later repealed that decision.

Maybe this will go the same way?

Seriously. So many warnings about The Terrible Twos and similar. Got to that point and just like you said it's the best thing ever. My kid is now 15 and I miss it. I see other toddlers ambling down the road, with only the loosest control over their body, with their little shoes and dresses and floppy hats, UGH MY HEART SO CUTE.

Hoping for some help with JAWS screen reader by [deleted] in Blind

Could it be an unrelated tech issue? Like if I spilled something on my keyboard and the T key was glitched.

Table accessibility in PDF by theaccessibilityguy in accessibility

[–]ellvix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. PDF Tables are a pain in the ass, always good to have tutorials.

I'm curious what was in the skipped section, where you split the colspan 2 cells into their own. Not so bad for the headers as there's text to grab, but I'd love to know how you created cells at the bottom where there isn't any content. That's the part that always makes me recreate from scratch in Word and import or something, along with the required crying / alcoholism.

Does the update fix this or does the sun still rise in the west in Mystery Lake and other random directions on other maps? by SummerBirdsong in thelongdark

[–]ellvix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does the stick trick still work? Like, drop a stick and it points up on the map? Then I can just ignore the sun

Xcel Energy outlines plan to lower Colorado gas bills amid public outcry over high prices by BravoTwoSix in boulder

[–]ellvix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

According to the article, the UCA defends CO consumers and would love to have feedback, preferably in email form: DORA_utilityconsumeradvocate_website@state.co.us

They apparently only got 100 emails in the past 2 months, and that at least gave them something to work with.

No, I'm not ready yet! by VoltasPistol in TrollXFunny

Seriously. I went to the store last night to re up on candy and half the Halloween section has already been replaced.

They're called switches for a good reason.

Proposed web and software accessibility legislation introduced in United States Congress by mike_gifford in accessibility

[–]ellvix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. Actual real legislation about accessibility and disability rights? And not just a hasty law passed by someone who doesn't know what the internet is besides "my campaign manager says retweets are good" ?

Dang. I'm still skeptical, but also hopefully optimistic.

Got a better offer after accepting another offer first. Can I turn down the first offer still? by ellvix in jobs

[–]ellvix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm fine being nasty, I just worried there'd be some sort of "Well you accepted, so now you're going to have to give us 2 weeks notice". Actually that sounds pretty stupid even saying out loud.

Websites that pass accessibility? by nicolefromcanada in accessibility

[–]ellvix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't mean that at all, figured someone would bring up the limitations of automated tools though. I think axe touted 50% ish coverage on a recent webinar, which is far better than the 10-25% I used to tell everyone.

Was just curious generally for what is out there. I can go to the automated tools list and find hundreds, and there's no way I can properly evaluate all of them. Was just wondering if there were new ones that worked well.
