ProgrammingIt’s Lemmy.
TechnologyI have used and enjoyed lawnchair for the past year. It's quite minimal and I've found it very stable.
AsklemmyPersonally, I think it's great. It's a smaller community than HN and the registration requirements, whilst not a perfect solution, do create a litmus test and ultimately creates an envrionment of mostly high quality posting.
To get in, you need to be invited in by an existing user. If you don't know anybody, you can hang around on their IRC channel and once you're familiar, somebody may be willing to invite you.

Sony debuts first PS5 controller for disabled gamers (bbc.co.uk)
Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 controller called the Access Controller, which is designed to be customizable for disabled gamers. It allows users to configure different buttons, triggers and sticks to suit their individual needs. The kit aims to help people who struggle with thumbsticks, pressing buttons, or holding a controller. Feedback from disabled gamers was incorporated into the design. While a step forward, some find issues like the lack of a right stick limits gameplay in certain genres. Overall though, the product and others like Microsoft's Adaptive Controller are helping make gaming more inclusive for disabled players.

Making a positive change: PDF to HTML (accessibility.blog.gov.uk)
I found this article fascinating, and wasn't expecting the initial part of it to talk about climate change, something I'd never considered about different filetypes. I kind of knew what I would expect to read about PDF vs HTML when it comes to accessibility, but interesting nonetheless.

Don't disable buttons (gomakethings.com)
The article discusses why developers commonly disable form buttons during submission to prevent duplicate requests, but how this creates accessibility issues. While disabling buttons may seem to prevent resubmission, users can still submit the form via keyboard. A better approach is to add a "data-submitting" attribute to the form during submission processing as this preserves focus without breaking functionality or accessibility.
