I wonder if any windows screen readers read this symbol, and if so, what would it say? Symbol now: ⋮ And that was the symbol. For those interested, it is three vertical dots and macOS announces it as “vertical ellipsis“, which is not too useful.

What is this new thing where Google Docs just signs you out in the middle of doing stuff? So user hostile, which does not say a lot as the whole experience is pretty mid.

So… How long do you stay in a phone queue until you resign to the fact that they just put you in phone purgatory and forgot about you? Asking for a friend who has been put on hold at 5:30 minutes into the call and it is now 14:00 minutes into the call. :-/

Man, SC 2.5.7 Dragging Movements (AA) is one of the more gnarly WCAG 2.2 SCs that really makes you redo certain interfaces. Case in point: Using a drag handle to change the size of a text field. It is keyboard accessible, but it does not have a single pointer equivalent. And apart from adding […]

It’s always funny to me when Ex-Chrome people complain about the web Chrome monoculture brought us, while having worked actively to bring about that monoculture. I mean, good that you recognize the problem, but also, many people warned you and you cast the warnings aside.

Stop using aria-label when your link/button already has an accessible name, doubly so when the content of the aria-label is just the same as the content of the link/button.

Me: “The ’AI’ added wrong information to the image description. That’s why you can’t fully trust it.” LinkedIn Bro: “Yeah, you have to have a person checking it.” Me: “So how is it better to create a wrong text and then have someone checking it, when checking it takes as much time as creating […]
