Michael Hanscom<p>Started my official DHS <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section508</span></a> Trusted Tester training yesterday. You get 180 days to finish. I don’t think I’ll take that long. Mostly, though, I wonder if I’ll be able to get through before the current administration pulls the plug on the certification program entirely. <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a></p>
Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡<p>Another thing I see far too often in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> testing is the inappropriate use of screen readers (NVDA Speech Viewer) without actually experiencing the speech output as a real user would. This is another thing that just seems fundamentally wrong, as how are you doing valid testing without that experience? <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TrustedTester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrustedTester</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section508</span></a></p>
Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡<p>Look, everyone... The trouble with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> testing tools like <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ANDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ANDI</span></a> is that a person can end up performing accessibility testing without experiencing content as an actual <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> user. It insulates them from using keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, screen magnification, etc. This just seems fundamentally wrong to me. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TrustedTester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrustedTester</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section508</span></a></p>

Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡<p>In full transparency I am intending to petition <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a> to ensure that commercial equipment used on the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> bands is required to meet <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Section508" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section508</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> functional performance requirements to ensure better inclusion for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> operators. I'm willing to consider reasonable compromises, but this is a government regulated service and its long past time we do better.</p>

Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡<p>I just sent an ionogram from NOAA's Austin Ionosonde Station to Be My Eyes, and I got back a description of the graph without the frequencies, labels or any attempt at all to describe the trace line.
