I know that macOS / Safari displayed the `alt` text for broken images through Safari 17.0 (visually clipping as necessary).
Testing in macOS 14.4.1 / Safari 17.4.1, however, shows me that `alt` text is no longer displayed.
Has anyone else noticed this regression?

These are honestly really cool features.
Vehicle Motion Cues is super interesting. I wonder how well it works. I know a lot of people who get super car sick.

Empowering accessibility: GitHub's journey building an in-house Champions program
As part of GitHub's dedication to accessibility, we expanded our internal accessibility program and scaled up our assessment process to help remove or lower barriers for users with disabilities. Then, we empowered employees from various disciplines to drive accessibility efforts within their teams.

The WebAIM Million report 2024 is out.

There was an interesting #accessibility question in the #11tyConf chat I wanted to surface.
Say your site styles are responding to the `prefers-contrast: less` media query. Must they still conform to the relevant 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios when the media query is active?

Surely there was a way to accomplish parking this car that didn’t illegally block a sidewalk. 🤔

I am not the only one to say this:
Please remember that WCAG itself is the bare minimum of #accessibility. Conforming to WCAG does not guarantee something is accessible. It does not even guarantee something is usable. All WCAG does is provide you with a starting point. Lots of WCAG failures suggest the page has not even made it to the starting line.

Comparing Manual and Free Automated WCAG Reviews
Automated accessibility testing tools cannot test 100% of WCAG. This position is not controversial. Other than overlay vendors, no automated tool maker makes that claim. This is partly because WCAG is targeted at humans, not code, and so nuance and context apply. Free automated accessibility testing tools may have even…
