@pivoinebleue Because it's too easy for people to think of the accommodations *they* need while completely leaving out everyone else. I can't count the number of t imes I've had to remind fellow blind people that accessibility isn't just about screen reader users, and that "it works with my screen reader using this hack I came up with" doesn't mean it's accessible.

If the coming removal of WCAG SC 4.1.1 Parsing is causing you some angst, I have a post with mappings:

@aardrian How many are we up to now? Because when they nominate Trump again, I'm going to love pointing out that they had x number of other choices and once again picked the worst one.

Two anniversaries today: microformats (18y) and POSSE (11y).
Happy 18 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats!
Most prominent this past year (again) has been the littlest #microformat that could:
rel=me — AKA #relMe, now effectively the standard for #distributed #verification on the web:
* https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (originally introduced in 2004¹)with support added in the past year for:
* #GitHub multiple rel-me links²
* #Wikipedia User page rel-me link³
#POSSE, short for “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”, as a term of use is now 11 years old³, which is surprising since when it was conceived, the #IndieWeb community was in a period of very rapid innovation & iteration.POSSE itself replaced a previous term, “POSE”, short for “Publish Once Syndicate Everywhere”, which had only been around a year or two at most (I’m still looking for the first use of the “POSE” abbreviation for that meaning).
Since “publish once” was vague enough to include practices of publishing once on a social media silo, or in someone else’s garage⁵, we needed to clearly express the requirement to use your own site instead, first, as the source of your truth. Cross-posting to other sites & channels, is a second, optional step, ideally with a permalink linking back to your original post so viewers can easily discover and use your site.
That distinction was enough for POSSE to express a strong creator-owned-first publishing model that resonated and grew. Every time a silo shutdown⁶ at the end of its incredible journey⁷, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

@ablackcatstail Oh excellent!

@ablackcatstail Your website isn't necessarily accessible just because it looks like something from the 1990's. I mean if you're using plain old semantic HTML, paying attention to color contrast, and only using things like ARIA when you have to and as they're intended to be used, then yes it's accessible. If it's got layout tables and those spacer gifs, not so much.

@ablackcatstail well if you need accessibility use whatever you need even if it's non-free software.

@ablackcatstail Also, re: Stallman: I love free software, and have contributed to several projects for a very long time, but be careful you don't go too far down the rabbithole. For example, if you require accessibility, it'll be necessary for you to essentially have a foot in both worlds. And Stallman doesn't really have an answer for that, (I.E., accessibility is not a part of any version of the GPL license, and tends to get short shrift by projects, and his answer is +
