Why Now Is Not the Time to Think About WCAG 3 - AFixt If you work in accessibility or are responsible for compliance at your organization, you’ve probably heard about WCAG 3.0. The W3C has been developing it for years, and the most recent Working Draft was released in September 2025. At first glance, it feels like a big leap forward: a standard that promises to address gaps […]

I try to mitigate those problems but, ultimately it is up to the implementor.

Anyone who wants to know the fundamental difference between Republicans and Democrats: Look at how representatives of each party reacted to when Paul Pelosi was attacked and how they react to Charlie Kirk being shot.

The Republicans have shown who they are and what they care about. All of their constant bloviating about family values, protecting children and all of that is just lip service. They care about themselves and they are very obviously working to protect one or more of their own.

House GOP blocks second Dem attempt to release Epstein files "That was probably not the last time that you're going to see us deal with this issue," warned one top Democrat.

Any person who *doesn't* want the full and complete results of every investigation into Jeffrey Epstein is complicit in covering it up. Get it all out there with no redactions, then prosecute every one of them regardless of who they are or where they are.

I thought Trump would break the GOP. He’s broken the Democrats instead, laying bare how useless they have been. The reason why the GOP has been so successful isn’t because they are not particularly good at anything else except exploiting how useless the Democrats are.

Establishment Democrats are feckless and doing nothing to resist the complete collapse of democracy in the USA. Supporting the Democrats is roughly equivalent to not voting at all. They deserve no support whatsoever until they grow some spines and start fighting.

There was a time when I was one of those who would say that a vote for a third party is a wasted vote, and not voting is a vote for the worst possible candidate. The last 5 months have changed my mind. The establishment Democrats are offering no meaningful response to Trump. (Cont’d)

I was!

Does anyone have any experience with Help Desk/ Customer service software that is accessible?

Specifically, we're looking at products like Zendesk, Zoho Desk, Help Scout, and Custify. We're also considering using the HubSpot Service Desk, since we already use HubSpot for other stuff.
