       @eff "We applaud Meta's effort" what, and i mean this sincerely, the fuck? you're either embarassingly naive in your take, or you're preemptively kissing the ring of fascism already

       not going to lie, one of the worst side effects of #WCAG has been the obsession with reading the tea leaves of what a particular SC means (many of these written almost 20 years ago), which SC to fail things under, and generally an obsession (from industry/product owners) to satisfy WCAG ... rather than focusing on actual #accessibility (which often goes beyond WCAG, or involves things that simply fall between SCs, or are just "best practice" rather than hard fails). but it is what it is... #a11y

       and of course, one of the main parts of my job (and often also spare time) is to try and unfuck some of the clearly wrong, vague, handwavy, incongruous, outdated mumblings of some #WCAG success criteria. so I'm probably "part of the problem" here. i often wish WCAG was just a set of suggestions/aims, rather than the kudgel it turned into to force some sort of compliance. but hey ho ... #accessibility #a11y

       of course, these musings are nothing new. if you've followed me, you probably know of my little "these aren't the SCs you're looking for..." talk. i'm actually really happy about the last iteration of this presentation at last year's #a11yTO conference...which is why it really shits me that that conf decided NOT to release the video recordings of the talks publicly, and seem to have no intention to in future... but at least my slides are here https://patrickhlauke.github.io/wcag-interpretation/ #a11y #wcag #accessibility
