As usual, another dumb implementation in #FinTech #Philippines scene.
A certain №1 (or №2?) #bank is now blocking #Android #accessibility features, they tagged it as "Compromised device". 🤦🏽🤷🏽

I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
What's here today:
• A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
• A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
• Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
This is how a legacy gets started — together.
Explore and submit: https://blind.productions
You must be 18 or older to join.

So Google showed off a new feature on their Android keyboard where you can use ASL for dictation. On paper it seems very useful, but when I stopped to think about it it didn't make much sense to me.
Voice dictation has advantages over typing in that it's faster (albeit with less control over the exact transcribed text), and can be done with one hand or sometimes even hands free without looking at the screen. Meanwhile the new ASL dictation is still faster with less control, but seemingly requires three hands (one of them can be a mount) and to look at the screen while you use both hands for signing. In what situations would this be better than typing?
Can I get any thoughts on this from any deaf/mute people? Or even from hearing/voiced people who use voice dictation, as I almost never use that feature. It's entirely possible I missed something, but my current analysis is that it's yet another flashy yet ultimately useless feature.

I voted today! My first ballot cast as a resident of the state of Tennessee. I was a little apprehensive, as I had heard that #Tennessee only had paper ballots and no machines. But I was pleasantly surprised by there still being an #A11Y voting machine available. It did feel a little strange to me to be asked what party ballot I wanted. I very proudly said #Democratic which I have a feeling isn’t a very popular answer around here.
Too late for CSUNATC, but not too late to be the envy of your co-workers.

The latest Facebook #a11y update is giving malicious compliance.
You want perceivable screen elements, my guy?
You want em all labeled, boss?
That's no problem. What I did is, I went ahead and put “UNREAD NOTIFICATION” in front of every new notification, you can't miss it. Enjoy your button labels, broseph

I’ve proposed an Accessibility Law of Headlines:

Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong.
There. Now you don’t need to read it (my post nor one making a BS claim).

I see #Movim decided to target itself as a (distributed) #Discord-killer.
And looking at the latest update, I’m cautiously optimistic. They worked on accessibility, hats (i.e. roles), spaces, better audio/video chat and game streaming …

@dandylover1 May I ask you another question, if you don't mind of course? Concerning accessibility, you mentioned that you download our text files.
I wonder if you could acess the following book which has some basic examples of tables:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/72103
Could you please tell us how do you handle with its table formatting? And is there any book that you were having an issue with?
Thanks once again!
The games for the jam this year were unbelievably high quality, please give them a play and show support to the winners of Games for Blind Gamers 5!
Hey #WebDev I need to recommend some web developers to a bunch of small business clients. I'd want the web developer to specialize in #Accessibility across a wide array of industries. Can you put your resume links in the replies? #Shopify knowledge is a bonus, especially if you designed your own, accessibility ready, Shopify theme. A *LOT* of these folk use Shopify. #A11y #GetFediHired #Job #Jobs
