Vergabe und Beschaffung - Berlin.de
Minimum criteria for public purchases in the German State of Berlin, it’s kind of a VPAT that contains over 30 Success Criteria that they call KO criteria. Interesting approach.

Socks, lies, and accessibility
It’s probably a coincidence that nondescript pseudo businesses advertised AccessiBe during 2023’s GAAD. For sure!

Access Denied: The (in)accessibility of European Political Party websites - European Disability Forum
The report “Access Denied” reveals that European political parties’ websites are vastly inaccessible to users with disabilities, with some components even reversing default accessibility measures. The report, co-authored by the European Disability Forum and the Funka Foundation (a leader in the sector of digital accessibility), found appalling results in the websites of the 7 main […]
European political parties seem to be neglecting their obligation to provide information to all voters, whether they have specific access needs or not. In doing so, they are creating a barrier not only for persons with disabilities but for the democratic process itself.
Some website owners had actively removed code that benefits users, thereby deliberately making the interface less accessible.

I worry our Copilot is leaving some passengers behind - Josh Collinsworth blog
By @collinsworth@hachyderm.io
Other times, however, Copilot is clearly just regurgitating irrelevant code samples that aren’t at all useful. Sometimes, it’s so far off base its suggestions are hilarious. (It regularly suggests that I start my components with about 25 nested divs, for example.)
But if we’re giving one of the world’s major corporations our money, in exchange for this tool that’s supposed to make us better…shouldn’t it be held to some standard of quality? Shouldn’t the results I get from a paid service at least be better than a bad StackOverflow suggestion that got down-voted to the bottom of the page (and which would probably come with additional comments and suggestions letting me know why it was ranked lower)?
As more and more of the internet is generated by LLMs, more and more of it will reinforce biases. Then more and more LLMs will consume that biased content, use it for their own training, and the cycle will accelerate exponentially.
