Devin Prater :blind:<p>New OpenWebUI update:</p><p>Significantly improved the semantic structure of chat messages by using "section", "h2", "ul", and "li" HTML tags, and enhanced screen reader compatibility by explicitly hiding decorative images with "aria-hidden" attributes. This refactoring provides clearer structural context and improves overall accessibility and web standards compliance for the conversation flow.</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a></p>

Ahh, it's time for another run around the watercooler with the Dutch Tax Office about them sending me snail mail I can't read and then getting annoyed when I don't pay them money. I should really go to the press with this farse of a situation, it's like the 5th time in 10 years this has happened #blind #disability #accessibility

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

Y’all. I’m working on my very first native macOS app for accessibility testing. It’s almost 3:00 am and I should be sleeping, but I found it really hard to stop coding.

Once it’s ready I’m gonna offer it for free download (not in the App Store). I’m pretty stoked.

It’s nice to be excited about something good.

NV Access

This week's In-Process is out. Featuring all the news on NVDA 2025.2, info on the upcoming NVDA 2025.3, a recap on restarting after updating (no we're not about to enforce that!) and a look into the namesake feature of Microsoft Windows... and just how complicated ARE the Windows+arrow key commands? (Very, but we break it down for you!) All that and more, available now: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2

Screenshot of my desktop showing one window snapped to the left half of the screen and the snap window manager showing other windows I can snap to the right half if I choose.

Thanks - that "milk in first" makes good sense to me if a teapot is being used and it has been allowed to cool somewhat while brewing.

Shane, shame, shame on the family:
Don't tell anyone but I'm using #Teabags.
In part due to #Accessibility.
And I can keep the liquid in the cups very hot.
I hope nobody would voluntarily put the milk in first for teabags. Though this has been observed at MacDonalds and petrol stations. [The Scream]
