They want “Understanding” documents to be “Well, actually” documents that re-interpret the SC. I don’t think that’s OK. Either you see an interpretation gap in the spec and you fix it in the next version of the spec (WCAG 2.1.1) or the words used are now the definition.
So annoyed with WCAG 2 at the moment. Suggestions for updates/clarifications are just ignored, the WG seems to have moved on, and members of the WG think that non-normative documents somehow change the meaning of the normative text. Just so that they don’t need to change SCs.
When I got my driving license at 18 it meant freedom to get out of the small town I lived in, being self-sufficient and able to meet friends on my own time line. When I moved to Vienna, I realized that real freedom was reading a book while driving around in the subway.
Eurosport is closing the Eurosport Player app on Apple TV. That’s annoying because it is the primary way I watch Snooker and Formula E – slso the only sports I watch. I have zero interest in any other Discovery programming, indeed I’d rather not pay for that trash. Urgh. 📺
“Feast” is a tough word to write something about, but that is what @challenges asked us to do. So I wrote that it is not the most versatile word. Agree?
Had to figure out today how to fix my front bicycle inner tube. I thought it went well, but once I had it all put together it lost air again. Annoyed because I just had it professionally replaced just a few weeks ago. I think the tube I got was not suitable for bike+my weight.
Finished reading: The Patrios Network by Antony Johnston 📚 In his latest book, Antony not only works through the Covid pandemic and the rise of right-wing militaristic groups, but also weaves together an intriguing tech-spy story. Brigitte Sharp is (as always) a brilliant protagonist, but the book …
We made vegan Fondue for Halloween. Upside: Vegan Fondue. Downside: Everything now smells like Fondue. 😂
Robert, @blindscribe@writing.exchange, has excellent guides for orientation for users with disabilities. Remember that getting started with Twitter used to be hard, too. It gets easier with time
Remember when Twitter was inaccessible and you had to use specific clients to interact with it? pinafore.social is that client for Mastodon at the moment.
A Guide to Micro.blog For People Who Have A Love/Hate Relationship With Twitter - Jean MacDonald Tweeting is one form of microblogging. But when you use Twitter, your content stays at Twitter. At Micro.blog, you can write short or long posts that appear in the Micro.blog timeline as well as on a …
German Liberals want fracking which would release incredible amounts of CO2 and dampen the progress towards renewables. We have to stop producing CO2 asap, not access new reservoirs to release into the atmosphere.

Fake tweet generator
I love how none of these “AI generated” tweets sound like anything I would tweet: If 75% of your product’s revenue comes from 25% of your customers, what do you do about that? (helping an e-commerce founder figure out their revenue model) What (if any) are your favorite B2B products? …
I’m looking forward to Microblogvember!
I really wished people would spend more time on their gardens compared to mowing lawns. Nonstop soundscape today. 😞
There seems to be the misconception that Twitter is the community. But it is not. It is just the pub, now with a new owner and menu. Some people take that opportunity to try out new places. And maybe another place becomes your friend group’s new favorite.
I created a list of #FollowFriday people on non-Twitter over on my blog. It’s great to have known faces in the conversation! → Accessibility in the Fediverse (and Mastodon)
I enabled cross postong from my primary instance (@yatil@micro.yatil.net) to my Mastodon instance (@yatil@toot.cafe) as many people seem to find the latter. Nothing wrong with that!
Periodical reminder that Freedom Scientific should Set JAWS free!
Manuel got suspended on Twitter for apparently nothing… It’s a valuable lesson on the importance to have your own website. www.matuzo.at/blog/2022…
Updating all the things to all the new versions. 🍎
So, no spoiler review of The Power of the Doctor: I enjoyed it.
