People who are still Harry Potter fans, especially ones active enough to make this happen, are pretty much self selecting to not care much about the lives of others. It's a pretty …

Is this "I'm losing so I think we should change the rules"? Because it seems like that.

Aria spec is nearly 20 years old, with the first drafts being out in 2006. Labelledby was a core part of the first spec, and is not particularly complicated. There is no way to mak…

Even if that was consistent, the other reasons are not addressed. And the spec for the title attribute is for "advisory information", which isn't necessarily the same as descriptio…

I'm assuming good faith question here. Good faith answer: The title attribute may not be read by all screen readers by default, if at all. Some will, but some won't. Additionally, …

That has nothing to do with the accessibility. That was table stakes for this person's button design.

They've also never had stronger access to mass surveillance, had more militarized and capable police forces, dealt with a global climate catastrophe, or had more people in prison.

I'm not super interested in debating the specifics because I was trying to point out that people will disagree about what "better" means and prevent progress. Thank you for so succ…

Why would you think that?

This sure suggests that we're all choosing to build this dystopia we're trending towards. I agree very much with the idea that we should be making the world better little by little…

The addition of the single attribute "aria-labelledby=..." is horrible? It's a single, very small addition to the code here. The element structure was already there, this was just …

I think you'll find they don't have to compel you to write code. They can simply prevent you from doing something else if you don't meet an obligation. Many many industries have co…

I renew my tabs online a few times a year. Site is state wide and works great. Take like five minutes and it's super manageable. Seattle city light works well and has a solid outag…

It says right at the top of the description "Turns sign language (fingerspelling) into..." It should just say fingerspelling. Conflating these two is like writing "Translates Shake…

Of course it helps, but where are you going to dilute more co2 these days?

Amazon is not capturing this amount of carbon. And the offsets are all smoke and mirrors.

Assume good intent, imo. Most of us live in a community with a predominant single sl, whether that's ASL, BSL, etc. Learning one is how I interpreted their comment.

I know this is well meaning, but you should know that in the disability community it's very common to have people invent tech for us without fully understanding our needs. (Smart c…

The one your community uses?

You keep saying things that agree with me, smugly insisting I don't understand. You are very confusing to converse with.

Yes, in the Wilamette Valley the indigenous folks maintained Gary Oaks and prevented other trees from growing there. This was open oak savannah, and when the settlers came in they …

All forests in the American west, barring a few relatively small parks, are new growth. Predominantly from settlers cutting them down. Indigenous practices changed which trees grew…

Do you get angry at people for calling sea stars starfish? "They aren't fish they are echinoderms!" Or perhaps you get angry at people who call light utility vehicles "trucks"? Lan…

I am a small scale forester (hundreds to thousands of acres). Supposed to burn is ... complicated and not necessarily true. Many forests in the PNW have had indigenous Americans bu…
