    @jkva It was probably a two-seater so you could hold hands with your buddy. Then they probably retrofitted it for a11y.

    [jv] how is accessibility of infinite scroll of facebook feed
  19. [michiel] infinite scroll isn't accessible by default. But I don't know how Facebook does it.

    I wish I had an infinite scroll. I'd run out of ink, though.

    Jul 07 14:09
    [jv] @michiel: facebook also is concerned about a11y. their infinite scroll should be usable

    [michiel] You can ask Matt King, he's the one to ask.

    There is a new role=feed in aria 1.1.

  36. jkva @jkva recurses infinitely and runs out of stack space
  37. Job van Achterberg
    @jkva
    Jul 07 17:26
    If only I had tail recursion :(
  38. zakim-robot
    @zakim-robot
    Jul 07 17:27
    [michiel] Does StommePoes' tail have recursion?

    Is Dragon the only software for Windows/Macs to make a browser respond to voice commands?
  42. and actually, can you do voice commands at all in android or iOS? For things besides entering text
  43. James Nurthen
    @jnurthen
    Jul 07 20:45
    Windows has voice commands built in.
  44. go to "Speech Recognition" in control panel to activate
