If you work with usability tests, here's a simple tip on how to make them more inclusive 🦄
TLDR: Never use the word "test" when communicating with your users. "Feedback" is a good alternative.

Hi, great suggestion!
We'd have hoped that Apple fixed the issue on their end so it wouldn't be an issue at all.
Or that may be `role="presentation"` or `role="none"` would do the job.
Like:
<h1><span role="none">As many <I>elements</I> as <strong>you</strong> want</span></h1>
Glad you can relate 👶! You might want to check out my colleagues article on alt texts axesslab.com/alt-texts/

Sorry about that! Was frustrated when I wrote it. Had to get it out. But not very constructive to just complain. Anyway, the main advice I wanted to get across was: "Always show an error message when a user clicks a button and something is wrong."
Thanks for the feedback!

"We’ve never gotten any complaints from blind people, so I think we’re in pretty good shape."
We hear this a lot and break it down in a guest post on @TeliaCompany's blog.

Completely agree. Problem is that few (anyone?) show error messages when users try to click disabled buttons.
Axess Lab retweeted
Is it a good idea to disable “submit” or “continue” button if some input is incorrect is missing? Probably not: we are missing out on an opportunity to communicate to customers what exactly is wrong, and how to fix it.

ALT Three disabled form elements in Google Analytics. Nothing happens when you try to interact with them.
Sorry for the slow reply! Tough one. Best would of course be if you could enable the users to add alt-texts. But if that's not an option, it depends on the context. Might be the least bad option to have an alt="Uploaded image by <username>." Or empty alt. Would need more info..
Great to take part of the #GAAD Stockholm Accessibility Meetup @t12t, for the first time online! Watch it live on YouTube now, or check it out afterwards. All lightning talks in English!
