Our family is looking for a new gas stove. What are people recommending these days in the way of modern stoves with all the bells and whistles, but which are #accessible in some way? A stove that works with #Alexa and/or #Google smart speakers should work fine. At our last home we had an LG which worked with the ThinQ app, and could also be connected to smart speakers. The problem was, if you told your smart speaker to start the oven, it'd set a cook timer of fifteen minutes, which is useless for just about anything, and they got to where they wouldn't accept a new timer setting. Please boost for reach. Thanks. #blind

Recent datepicker experience:
1. Control is presented as three separate spin controls, supporting the Up/Down Arrow keys to increment and decrement the value as well as manual typing. But because they're not text inputs, I can't use the Left/Right Arrow keys to review what each separate one contains, only to move between day, month, and year.
2. I tab to year.
3. I press Down Arrow, and the value is set to 2075. I'm unclear how many use cases require the year to be frequently set to 2075, but I can't imagine it's many so this seems like a fairly ridiculous starting point.
4. I press Up Arrow, and the value gets set to 0001. The number of applications for which 0001 is a valid year is likewise vanishingly small.
5. I delete the 0001, at which point my #screenReader reports that the current value is "0". Also not a valid year.
6. Out of curiosity, I inspect the element to see which third-party component is being used to create this mess... only to find that it's a native `<input>` with `type="date"` and this is just how Google Chrome presents it.

A good reminder that #HTML is not always the most #accessible or user-friendly.

For the record, I think #accessible diffs is a pretty hard problem to solve.

I've consulted on it with multiple large corporate entities. While such businesses invariably come with mismanagement across their #accessibility strategies, they do have to money to back the work. I'm yet to meet the accessible diffs interface that has come out of such work.

Do I expect an open source project with much more limited resources to get it right? No... which is kind of the point: Accessibility of complex data is too hard. I would be surprised if #Forgejo was doing better than it is.

iOS Game. If you like Braille and a challenge then you will like the game Brailliance! Its like a Braille Wordle. Each word is made up of so many total dots and so many letters; like 5 letters with 13 dots. So for this word, the dots from each letter will add up to be a total of 13 dots. And of coarse its totally accessible with Voiceover. So give it a try. Here is the link to it in the app store...

To other #Christians, especially those who are #blind, are there any #accessible #Bible study tools or resources you'd recommend? One of my first assignments for #college at #ColoradoChristianUniversity is about fears relating to college, and I have to find Bible verses on fear. I've tried a few different websites like #BibleGateway and Youversion, but I'm having a hard time with the search functionality or there are #accessibility issues, so I'm wondering what tools others use.

I know DiceWorld is popular with many of my followers. Is there any other kind of similar multiplayer game that you all like? Just curious if anything similar to DiceWorld exists that is #accessible. It doesn't have to be a dice game, but I'm not looking for another game like War Shovel. A card game would be nice, I love cribbage and euchre.
