Ah, yes. https://fediverse.zachleat.com/@zachleat/114076550119586304

Today is one of those days when I wish I had a permanent, full time design/illustration job, a part time job, or even a few jobs with a retainer. Just something regular that I can get my teeth into! Something that has real world impact on sustainability and wellbeing a bonus! (examples of such […]

“Friendly CAPTCHA” verifiziert, dass ich ein Mensch bin. Tolle Welt!

A <section> Inside a <header> Inside an <a> Because what is web development today?

Deque says “AI” will help to “automate 100% of accessibility”. That’s bullshit. The automated transcript of the talk where they say it cannot figure out that they talk about “axe” and writes “X” instead. Oh, and instead of “Deque“, the transcript says “TC”. 100% of accessibility errors! […]

We need a “Jump the Shark“ phrase for (accessibility) companies that go all-in on “AI”.

Seeing a lot of chat that a prominent accessibility company is promoting their “AI” as the solution to accessibility. They make products that sell in an ableist world. Real accessibility advocates aim to abolish that ableist world and replace it with an accessible one.

Lego: “Your purchase is on its way!” Me: “What purchase?” *scrolls further down the email* Me: “Oh, it’s Harbormaster’s Office from the Bricklink Designer Program. I guess I did order this in October before the world ended. What a nice surprise!”

What are you using to test videos for flashing regarding WCAG, especially on macOS? Maybe this way to use ffmpeg can work as a proxy? https://video.stackexchange.com/a/29576

[RLP Bundestagswahl negativ – DEpol (-) – #btw25] Rheinland-Pfalz war schon immer das ostdeutscheste der westdeutschen Bundesländer.

I have some availability for graphic design and illustration coming up! Ping me if I can help https://www.andycarolan.com/contact #OpenToWork #design #illustration

[DEpol] Could have been worse.

[DEpol] 30 minutes until the first prognosis. Let‘s not beat around the bush. This will be a sobering experience. Conservatives will easily win, the fascists take a comfortable second place. The next four years here in Germany, we need to get into fight mode. Be the best you can be at every […]

1. Oh, I think I designed this thing so that it does not need supports! 2. The Slicer also does not complain. 3. I really think this is good to go, but let’s look at the critical parts more closely. 4. Ah, here the printer tries to print three circles into mid-air. 5. Add some supports. 😂

In a weird dream, I tried to fry unpeeled, uncut carrots. Thanks brain for that perfect metaphor for what it feels like to test for accessibility these days. #a11y #accessibility

So, VoiceOver or macOS decided to have the mouse cursor follow the VoiceOver cursor which triggers hover states that should totally not be triggered. It’s super annoying. Anyone have an idea on how to disable it? I have reset VoiceOver settings already. 😭 #a11y #accessibility

Ethan Marcotte, who is one of the most principled and thoughtful people I have ever known and also a dear friend, has resigned from his job at 18F after being asked to meet with shadowy gov-dismantlers. The whole post is worth reading. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/leaving-18f/

David Tennant does a podcast with… is back next week. So looking forward to it!

Well, sometimes timing, pandemics, and authoritarian regimes make you remove “bucket list” items. #Gally1 https://labyrinth.social/@tom/114016629490597486

Florian Modlinger is wearing an FFP2 mask in the Porsche pit lane this weekend. My assumption is that he’s sick and he should probably have stayed home, but at least he is modeling good behavior here. #formulaE :formula_e:

I really hope these six helicopers were also electric, Formula E… 😩 :formula_e:

Apple missed a trick by not releasing Severance Slackmoji.

I replaced all my doomscrolling and thinking with episodes of “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer” over the last few days. There are much worse ways to spend your time.

You gotta be a real fucking nazi if you think now is better than a year ago to purchase ad space on Elon Musk’s X https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/12/apple-resumes-advertising-on-x/

Lots of companies in the US will need to make their DEI+A initiaives more stealthy, hide them behind obscure names and be much less open in public about these issues. This will for sure harm the community. But it may also remove a huge target off the back of these programs and the people […]

Finally, the WAI website gets another level of navigation. 😂 (Before we redesigned it, deep navigation structures did harm findability of information a lot. I would argue that content further down the page tree is still hard to find and rarely highlighted. OTOH this is a very complicated site […]

Ah, great, @ia Presenter updated in the middle of editing a presentation and now I lost my Themes. No idea how that happened 😩
