Thanks for sharing. I asked this question elsewhere, and no one else has trouble with Zoom chat. Everything I hear is along the lines of this response at rblind: that Zoom makes it easy for all users to show or hide the chat as needed.

Maybe you’re right about guidelines and moderation. At the very least, maybe it would be good to add a statement to the accessibility talk at the beginning of the meeting. Like:

• Tell people how to enable captions.
• Tell people how to download presentation files to view at their own speed.
• And also tell people how to turn off the chat if it is too distracting.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like all the technology is in place for people to use or hide the chat as needed.

O-H

I like Aptos a lot better than Calibri, but I already miss the font’s original name, Bierstadt.

Now if Spotify would finally add a light mode.

I edited my post and added a link to the font.

The Jarts told me Ohio’s native tongue is still lashing me.

Thanks for sharing. That’s rough that people just want to check an item off a checklist, rather than actually fix barriers to access…

I subscribed to Pocket Casts when it was owned by public media entities, and it worked well. But after they sold it off, I just switched to AntennaPod and it does everything I need too.

I just went to https://cohost.org/vogon with the screen reader NVDA and tried to browse the graphics of electronics there.

Good news: the web page is coded correctly, and I heard alt text for the images as expected. Kudos to cohost, and also thanks to you for working to include as many people as possible.

Also, since Rax is based in Ironton, Ohio, one might argue it’s Appalachian-based rather than Midwest-based 😆

Not necessarily the best, but I have a special place in my heart for Rax Roast Beef:

Much happier this week, with reasonable temps and finally some rain. You?
