Really good talk by @hidde.blog about sustainability in tech, and a few things we can do to improve the current state of energy consumption.

🛫 off to California for CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, to present and get feedback about WCAG-EM 2, and meet all the peers.

We're working on making WCAG-EM 2 a Note (www.w3.org/TR/wcag-em-2/).

A 3 week review period just started, we'd love to hear it if you DO accessibility assessments or RECEIVE reports.

Does the “website” to “digital products” change work? Anything else you feel strongly about re reporting/reports?

At CSUN I'll present WCAG-EM 2, a methodology to report on accessibility.

We're using WCAG-EM at scale in The Netherlands, with 100s of organisations producing 1000s of reports, somewhat reproducibly.

Attend to see how it differs from VPAT+how better evaluations help teams fix barriers faster.

(Important note: it is a draft, far from completed, and we have lots of work planned. Feedback is welcomed!)

The latest Working Draft of WCAG 3 is out today! w3.org/TR/wcag3/

In this version, we've:
- moved lots of requirements to “Developing” phase,
- wrote down how to test,
- mapped reqs to user needs (using DAF),
- split out 'applies when' and 'except when' to massively increase readability

I don't have proof of everyone I chatted to but I definitely chatted to @matuzo! #SotB26

yesterday's State of the Browser may have been my favourite so far! Incredible talks and people, good vibes! Brb just buying next year's ticket

it was a great talk!

this is what a day of #SotB26 does to you! I believe I had just had an insightful conversation with @aardrian.bsky.social

Mozilla have this AI coding policy, that assigns full responsibility to the human submitting the code. I like it a lot in principle, but it may be too optimistic (I do see with AI people tend to take less responsible approaches) firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing...

When robots are part of a process, their involvement MUST be identified.

jenn schiffer extremely online and incredibly logged on

if you can afford it, often $25 or less a year, get a custom domain name so you have somewhere to always point to so people can find you when they want/need to. having jennschiffer.com for so long has been paramount to my mobility online over the past 25 years

Some inject children's blood to stay young, some think AI can improve declining birth rates. It goes on.

In my slide decks, I've started including quotes of what AI leaders believe to be true, and helps break through the notion that they are some sort of genius magicians.

This context matters, if you are to decide about using and trusting (!) the products they make.

I am not sure how much of it happens in that group or elsewhere but threat modeling and security reviews definitely still take place.

here's some info on how: www.w3.org/TR/threat-mo...

it looks good, just not sure about it being free

I figured, the AI grouping name feature gave it away

AI, web, and standards by Hidde de Vries

Just did a guest lecture on AI and web standards for policy makers. Thanks @lolaodelola.bsky.social

haha gmta, currently pondering the same

I know a lot of hosting providers (that also sell domain names) have 1 click installs. Could it be as simple as a common CMS with a couple of plugins to make it better?

they could get traffic by picking a cool URI and advertise it on Insta as _the_ place to get tickets/merch/limited edition vinyl.

I feel fricced all the time when I'm on there 🙃

What can we do to break through this?
