Anyone used / heard of Aloud (“The first 508 audit that actually listens”)?
https://github.com/IRS-Public/aloud

It’s a CC0 project by the IRS that seems to want to be JAWS Inspect for native apps.

My look at README shows it’s got potential but may be grounded in misunderstandings.

Pat’s arguably being nice.

I block / mute.

If it’s a project I control, I ban.

Applies also to “This is what the slop engine said, anyone want to critique it?”

News outlets continue to carry water for this man. I rather preferred that brief news black-out yesterday.

“Speech recognition and complex tables with fields”

Reinforces a method of visibly labeling and programmatically naming controls in tables that I also follow.

Nextdoor keeps trying to get me to “Discover [my] neighborhood,” but it does so by using slop photos for my city and neighborhood that have no relation to reality (and make the not-my-street look a little gross).

Strong signal to not join the platform that can’t be arsed to use existing imagery.

“If you have to ask, is it accessible?”

Added to my own post about what you can do *before* asking:

The WebAIM post is about VPATs, which I show how I evaluate:

#accessibility #a11y

So exactly a week after reading about the Northern Flicker at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute (https://rtpi.org/trails-hemlock-forests/), one joined me at my house.

This one was a male (I think), yellow-shafted.
