I’m concerned the Overlay Community Group has found a way to normalize overlays by influencing the W3C draft “Accessibility of machine learning and generative AI”: https://adrianroselli.com/2022/09/accessibility-at-the-edge-w3c-cg-is-an-ove
Also, its “Free AI Accessibility Audit” is just axe-core rules, which found 145 issues on its “Free AI Accessibility Audit” page. Very AI. Much accessible. So, fair warning, Dresden-based Accesstive appears to avoid false conformance claims
You can import animated HTML lower thirds into OBS for live streaming video but you cannot import the same overlays into Kdenlive for use editing post production videos? Does this make sense? @kdenlive #OBS #Kdenlive #lower #thirds #overlay

#overlays across platforms
every network with a public tag surfaceFollow #overlays straight to each platform’s own tag page. Where a platform publishes open data we measure it above; the rest lock their numbers behind paid APIs, so we link rather than guess.
Every number above is measured from a named public API at the shown fetch time. Nothing is estimated or extrapolated. Platforms that lock their data behind paid APIs are not shown. Agents: the same numbers, as JSON, at /api/hashtags/overlays
