@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social Huh? Violence? What did I miss? Sadly while we may have dodged the paywall for now I won't be surprised at all to see it return in another form that harms us. There are some businesses that explicitly ban smart glasses, so that's another kind of harm especially as the vast majority of those businesses have no plans for accessibility or providing reasonable accommodations.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social Likewise. Not only this but also starting to depend on functionality only to have it later go behind a paywall some of us may not be able to afford. The potential for greatness is amazing while the potential risks may be even higher for our community.

Democratic Socialists and other progressives seem to be dead set against #AI which I find incompatible with the whole concept of being progressive. Anti-AI bias like this seems more reactionary than anything else, which would seem to fall more into the conservative mindset. Now, yes, we do need massive oversight of an extremely powerful technology, so that's what we need to be advocating rather than any sort of shift away from AI, which just isn't going to happen.

I just used Claude in Chrome to accessify the buttons for uploading my cover letter and resume as part of my application for another accessibility position posted on an inaccessible job website.

Yesterday, I tried Claude in Chrome and, once again, I was able to complete and submit that inaccessible time card. It works on some sites and not on others, and there are some annoying accessibility issues, but, well... #accessibility #Claude

@robini71 @TheQuinbox Yes, especially if you can make an iOS app that truly allows the user to read and scroll continuously through the book or document without having to manually change pages, chapters, etc. I'd pay something, perhaps as much as $20 or more, for such an app.

@codecat I don't use Narrator every day and I think it still has a very long way to go, but it is getting better over time and may one day be worth considering as a primary screen reader, but today's just not yet that day.

Using Copilot in Microsoft Edge, I was just able to add all my hours for this week and submit the inaccessible timecard for one of my jobs. I confirmed everything was done correctly. Wow! #accessibility

Asking whether or not you have to make something accessible is tantamount to asking if you really have to include those #disabled people. The correct answer is always an emphatic “YES!!!” #accessibility

@AccessOn @freedomscientific @President Ah. I appreciate that timely news about Page Explorer; I'm putting together a comparison between that and Vision Assistance Pro on NVDA so I'll avoid mentioning the limitation. Very glad Vispero finally saw fit to correct that error.

The Digital Door Is Closing on Disabled Americans: Please Help Us Keep It Open

Imagine you are blind. Your child has a disability. The school district has just posted crucial updates to its website about your son's Individualized Education Program — his IEP, the legally mandated document that governs every support, accommodation, and service your child is supposed to receive in school. You open the site. Your screen reader — the software that speaks text aloud so you…

One Week with NVDA: A JAWS User’s Immersion Journey

What started as a seven-day experiment ended with a new primary screen reader. I’ll be honest: I didn’t expect this to go the way it did. On February 14th, 2026, I set myself a challenge — use NVDA exclusively on my personal computer for one full week, switching back to JAWS only if my work required it. I’ve been a longtime JAWS user, and NVDA has always been on my radar as the powerful, free, open-source alternative.

@rbreich@masto.ai @kevinrj@mastodon.social To be fair… Spending resources on national security is perhaps one of the most essential things our government should do. I just don’t agree with spending it on things like tanks, lots of troops, etc. Instead, it should almost all be based on things we need for Covert operations which we should be doing around the world. We also need to be getting rid of rules that get in the way of our covert intelligence operatives.
