Look up "Supercharge" for Mac from Sindre Sorhus. Among other things, it brings the functionality to establish that Cmd+Q needs to be hold for ~2sec, before it triggers. That prevented me from accidential closures of apps.

Ja, das ist der Treppenwitz am Ganzen!

Wunsch des Tages: Ein "Ich bewerte nur 1 von 5 Sternen, weil der Autor gendert!!!!1"-Filter bei Online-Buchhändlern

Es ist ohnehin absurd, wie die CDU/CSU ständig Sachen verbietet und es dennoch schafft, die Grünen als Verbotspartei hinzustellen, die ich als eher liberal wahrnehme was Verbote betrifft.

I can edit here, so a manual addendum: "the 'shiny example', especially when it comes from an 'authority' like Google"

Also a reminder of the psyche of the common web developer: Many people stop there and use the "shiny example", although it's lacking basic features.

Any self-proclaimed "influencer" should know that about their target group.

There’s an army of well paid Googlers making stuff up and few accessibility people who even can give feedback.

Even if we wanted to provide feedback for every nonsensical idea, we would not have time to do so. This is not on us.

Stop putting the responsibility on the community. It’s enough.

I really wonder how all the billionaire hedge fund guys that backed the Republicans and Trump feel right now.
Very, very stupid I hope.

No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

Wer wohl dieser „Mertz“ ist, gegen den derzeit Bots laufend mit richtig schlechtem Text schießen?
Das wird doch kein Transkriptionsfehler des kyrillischen Ц in „Фридрих Мерц“ sein?

Canceled my hey.com account in disgust of this and especially DHH's take, in awe of the cognitive dissonance/facist fandom that's obviously at play here; regretting badly that I was once a 37signals customer and followed David's motor racing stuff.

Screenshot of the "Include" tool collection for Figma, an assistant that goes through page components such as landmarks, headings, target sizes, etc. and guides the user, automatically checks where it is possible and, above all, encourages annotations.

It even starts with an assistant, leading you through topics like ARIA landmarks, headings, touch target sizes, contrasts and so on.

Include—Accessibility Annotations | Figma Include is a tool built to make annotating for accessibility (a11y) easier—easier for designers to spec and easier for developers to understand what is required. The intent is to have accessibility co...

If you create your designs in Figma and then hand them over to development it's worth setting the Include extension at exactly this point + handing over to your developers a design that has at least passed automated tests + is provided with a lot of accessibility meta info

Monday will be the time where "47" will not just be a Star Trek in-joke but a cipher for fascism and vengeance.

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

seems to me that if your AI thing is so incredibly useful you wouldn't have to opt-in people against their will, they would just uh use it y'know

Prognose: Auch 2030, bei dann vielleicht 80% Erneuerbaren, wird es in Deutschland weiterhin Leute geben, die erregt darauf hinweisen, dass gestern an der Strombörse eine halbe Stunde lang der Strom teuer war, das mit den Erneuerbaren Energien also ein Irrweg ist.

As I watched the episode I thought to myself „that’s an Cetacean Observations event right here“

Have to say it sucks watching millions get invested into AI tools for accessibility (which don’t work) instead of into disabled people with far more credibility and expertise

Spontaneous idea/question: What topic in web accessibility would you like to see a course on like ecommerce accessibility? The infrastructure is already in place – and I personally like to delve deeply into a topic & write about my insights and learnings, to pass on generally useful knowledge.

I am available for new contract work.

I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and #a11y.

I seem to gain followers with "invalid handles"... Does anyone know what that means?

What absurdity or crime comitted by Elon is enough for folks to leave „X“ for good? Supporting a facist seems to be not enough, it even leads to rejoining of political parties and politicians after xheap performative „we‘re leaving“ shows in the past.
