Nesting focusable elements is problematic. Have you seen any good blogposts, docs, or other #accessibility resources that go into *why* nesting is problematic?
I’m looking for something I could link to in a blogpost of my own, on a somewhat different topic. Preference is for something in-depth, and not marketing slop for a company (especially not for anyone affiliated with an overlay vendo…

#Accessibility modelers using #r5r #rstats, check this GUI for playing around with R5 network. If many people find it useful, I would get signal if I should invest any more free time into it.

Animation shows point and click interface for r5 network. User selects start and end locations on the map, the route is calculated and displayed on the map, and the route legs are presented below in a table.

Reason #2608 I do not trust “AI” to generate captions or transcripts:
“Complete silence is always hallucinated as 'ترجمة نانسي قنقر' in Arabic which translates as 'Translation by Nancy Qunqar'”
More examples in replies.

I'm seeing some really awful, low effort "may be..." ALT text recently. Clearly generated by an automatic process rather than by a human.
Is bad* alt text worse than no alt text?
*completely incorrect, and misleading

Unfortunately, standards work may be a function of who has the biggest platform for social media polls (that maybe pre-judge the outcome).
I’m hoping those who work in or near #accessibility can offer some feedback to more fundamental, not pre-judged, questions here:

Alice Boxhall (@sundress@eigenmagic.net)
There are some posts doing the rounds at the moment asking questions about using IDREF attributes like `for` without using IDs. I think these polls are asking the wrong questions. I think these are the right questions: - What are the specific pain points around using IDs? - How does existing tooling address these pain points (i.e. what "cow paths" are there that we could look at?) - How does existing tooling *fail* to adequately address those pain points? - How are these pain points impactin…

Geeky question: is anyone thinking or working on adapting #accessibility and #i18n #web standards to the impending avalanche of bad #AI translations that we'll have to deal with as users?
I'll be more specific, one example: I can prefer Spanish texts over English ones... as long as they are written by a human being and are not a terrible automated translation made by an AI, in which case I'd prefer to read the original English text. But... as of today, I have no way to specify that through my browser settings.
