I'm thinking that, when we experience an #accessibility issue, we might want to start not only asking that the bug be fixed but also insisting that their support team try helping us devise a workaround while awaiting a fix. Wonder if that might help bubble up more accessibility issues so they get greater visibility? npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Look, everyone... The trouble with #accessibility testing tools like #ANDI is that a person can end up performing accessibility testing without experiencing content as an actual #disabled user. It insulates them from using keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, screen magnification, etc. This just seems fundamentally wrong to me. #TrustedTester #DHS #Section508 npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 I just learned the #Disability:In Conference uses an app called #Whova which contains significant low-hanging-fruit accessibility barriers including unlabeled buttons and lacks any sort of public #accessibility commitment. Shouldn't #disability conferences have the highest bar when it comes to accessibility expectations? Who runs this anyway? Non-disabled people? #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Hey everyone. Let's please all keep in mind that *all* extremism is bad, whether it is #conservative #Christian #Islamic #Jewish #liberal or something else. When we're so closed-minded, it becomes far too easy for us to lose our humanity so that we forget that our actions and words can hurt real people. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Hey everyone. On Wednesday I learned that I successfully passed my #CPACC exam! That combined with my existing #WAS certification makes me a #CPWA now! This has been a long-standing dream and goal of mine and I am ecstatic to have finally accomplished this achievement! #accessibility npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 If you are #blind and you have been locked out of being able to use your InstantPot after the inaccessible app update, please email [email protected] and refer to Case 02284154 asking that they restore #VoiceOver #accessibility to their #iOS app. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 My non-blindness physical disabilities are worsening and I have realized after an antenna incident over the weekend that I can no longer maintain my #AmateurRadio station all by myself. If anyone out here is a #HamRadio op in the West Valley of the #Phoenix area in #Arizona I'd really appreciate a DM if you're interested in helping. I'd really like to keep my station on the air. Thanks and 73. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Let's all keep in mind that we're in the 21st century now and there are lots of great resources to learn about and start doing correct, accessible design and coding. Good people practice #accessibility and inclusive design while bad people with low-quality, tarnished reputations practice inaccessible, discriminatory design and development. The right answer is clear to see my friends! npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Let’s all please keep in mind that #accessibility is all about who will and will not be included. It is nothing less and it is not just some sort of technical compliance issue. The key is impact. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 The biggest problem with #MAGA is how they mock #disabled people and get away with it. We must all do everything we can to let Trump and people like him know we know what he's doing and we disapprove. All good progressive American citizens must vote this year! #accessibility npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub10af…lkvw @npub1wf8…dny6 Maybe, but one could always create the structured headings using HTML, and then create a style sheet that makes the page visually look a little different. I don’t think that’s a great best practice, but, I guess it’s better than not being accessible at all. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub12ze…hunm Finally, I recommend Salesforce Advanced Administrator Certification Guide by Enrico Murru. I know it is long in the tooth now as it has a 2019 copyright, but its still an excellent overview and, believe it or not, there are still Process Builder questions on exams. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 After a heck of a lot of studying and three attempts, I have passed the test and have become a Certified Advanced #Salesforce Administrator! npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 Let's all do everything we possibly can to make sure the league's proposed bi-law 46 changes do not go in to effect so that leadership gets a stranglehold over the board. We need more transparency, modernizing and change to meet our current ham population where it is now and to include and welcome new groups of hams who will envigorate #AmateurRadio for the future. #ARRL #HamRadio npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub1zyl…t54n Ah. Not yet. I reported it yesterday through FS tech support but have not yet posted it on their bug tracker. I will do so tomorrow morning. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub1zyl…t54n Yes. I reproduce the issue exactly the same way and I have reported it using the W3Schools nested table example. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub1zyl…t54n Correct. 2023 works fine. This issue is a regression in 2024. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 JAWS 2024 cannot handle nested HTML tables. Try browsing to https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_html_table_nested.asp in Chrome or Edge and use the control+arrow keys to navigate. Observe table navigation is not possible in that nested table. If you agree, please let @freedomsci know so it can be fixed soon. #accessibility #Vispero #JAWS npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 I just worked LY4Y (Lithuania) on 14.010.1 MHz CW. Decent 20M opening from central AZ to Northern Europe. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub19dj…n6qc @npub1fvf…vlru Wow! That’s terrible! As far as I’m concerned, anyone on that survey, who said no to any of those accommodations is a bad person. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 I'd love to see a couple more amazing #blind #accessibility support engineers join our incredible team! Please feel free to DM me with any questions. npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 I finally did it! I worked China on 20M CW at the tail end of the #IOTA contest. This is another new one for me. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio npub1u3m8lma959m9q9886w4gt3ugs3gm05f8tg947y5g6n9s7q8n5q0sl646nq Darrell Hilliker 👨🦯♾️📡 @npub12gn…zm2m @npub1gaj…78dz Yep. I will find that extremely helpful for work, especially for external customer-facing meetings!
