Given recent conversations in the industry, I wanted to highlight some amazing organizations, resources, and community-driven groups working hard to advance accessibility in gaming. There’s a lot of great work happening — and it deserves more visibility. A thread ♿️♥️

A good analogy. It’s often more painful when folks aren’t just flying past… but they have no idea that they have an engine doing the hard work for them as they’ve never had to think about it. Such a different experience of life.

What actual transparent government looks like "When 18F was eliminated, GSA took down our blog, guides, and the entire 18F site. But we created those resources for the public, and as we pledged on March 1, we’re determined to keep them available for as long as we can." 18f.org/topics/worki...

What’s the Difference Between WCAG, the EAA, and EN 301 549? Complex topic indeed. I love a good food metaphor, so here we go: - WCAG is the cookbook that tells you how to prepare accessible digital content. - The EAA is the food safety law: it makes serving accessible content mandatory in the EU.

Once you see accessibility, you can’t unsee it. Only then can you start to do better. Make it your goal so that everyone around you can’t unsee it too. Then we can ALL begin to do better. And you don’t burn yourself out in the process by trying to do it all 😉

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Conservatives like to complain about “the mainstream media” but in reality the mainstream of social media, cable news and podcasts is decidedly right wing. It’s only legacy print media that is arguably left-wing in outlook. And barely so.

A great breakdown of what #18F & #USDS did for civic tech (the people of the USA). Thank you 🙏🏽 And the truth of #DOGE’s incompetence, lack of qualifications, & hires based on loyalty. I’m extremely worried for all our personal data in their hands. 😩 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/skilled-te...

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public. They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

They’re scrubbing every sign of decency from the record. Anything that helps the public must be erased, denied, forgotten. Compassion, above all, is to be rubbed out.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Extremely sad & disappointed that #18F a huge part of modernizing the US Gov. digital civic tools for its citizens is being shut down by this administration. So many smart, talented and caring people. Thinking of you 💕 Here’s a letter from 18F 18f.org

Here is the co-founder of Substack blaming its users for seeing Nazis on the platform and then trying to deflect from the fact that Substack revenue shares with Nazis by saying he encounters more extremism here on Bluesky (which doesn't revenue share with Nazis). This is I ndefensible.
