A11YAuditing is now
I launched 4 products between Nov’ 23 and Feb’ 24.
My intent was to find a tool people wanted to use and I wanted to build.
When I launched a11yauditing I was blown away by the response - with over 20 reports generated in the first

She literally says her job isn’t the issue.
A little bit of critical thought would get you to where she is - how society structures employment, regardless of how much an individual likes their job, needs vast improvement.

@JJKALE2
“It’s not my job to answer your questions” is such a cop-out.
If a journalist/interviewer is using the piece as a platform to get their view across, as piers morgan does, then as pointed out, they absolutely should be held accountable and answer questions too.
Optus is down nationwide in Australia today. If you don’t know, they’re one of Australia’s largest telecommunications providers.
Businesses and individuals without mobile, wifi, payments etc.
But nothing is more important than this.

I’m glad you’ve never seen that, but please don’t talk for other people and particularly not for ALL disabled folk.
For me, as a disabled person, I have definitely seen the issues being discussed by RTD & I don’t see how it’s ableist to acknowledge and dismantle a harmful trope.
@JoshLekach
Something really important & simple here; genuine compliments and warmth come from just a little bit of attention and specificity.
In every instance he goes into just a little bit of detail. He doesn't say "I like your glasses" he says "I like your art deco glasses". It works.

I also have it turned on and saw videos of kidnapping/corpses..
Definitely improvement needs to be made as to the auto-tagging of NSFW/NSFL content if they want to keep allowing it to be uploaded.
@fesshole
All tradespeople/specialists should do this - being an expert isn’t about having encyclopaedic knowledge - it’s about being able to quickly apply your knowledge on existing systems with new information.
Storytime: A surgeon ruined my life, left me with chronic pain, a mobility disability and set me off on a journey where I spent years going through medical system to end up with CPTSD.
All this talk about TherapistAI makes me want to mention one thing - accountability.
But
I started my career on Rails, eventually I gave it up for the shiny new JavaScript toys - but honestly I’m beginning to wonder why I ever gave Rails up?
Dependable, opinionated frameworks may be the future.
I'm calling it. 2024 is the year of Rails.
From new programmers and indie hackers like me to big corps migrating legacy code.
Rails was never dead, but boy are we back 💪🚀

Apologies this situation is too complex for you.
I hope you continue to read pieces like this and reach a better clarification.

Is there more context than this? The ‘crippled villain’ trope is harmful and I think there’s room to discuss how we would make villains today if aesthetic based ableism wasn’t at the forefront of those decisions.
What am I missing?
The full episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed is available on iPlayer, but we thought it was important to share Russell T Davies’ comments on accessibility and the portrayal of Davros.

This is me making the promise publicly. I've spent the past 82 days learning as much as I can, implementing as much as I can.
And now, I have the full roadmap.
In 100 days I will have earned $10k and have $3K MRR through products and productised

96% profit sounds good, before actual costs:
Rent, staff, investment costs in equipment and operations for scaling business, marketing, taxes, the 74 other products you need to make a cafe viable outside of butter cakes etc.
It's seriously impossible to simply redirect a https:// URL on
@Namecheap
???
Please tell me this advice is wrong? Simply trying to get a11yauditing to redirect to new URL.
If so, this is a useless product for sure.

Queensland offering $100,000 for new police recruits according to a billboard I saw today 🙃
How much are we offering teachers?
The shortage will continue until the job is worth doing.

Right - clearer CTA, clearer navigation.
The light shining directly on ‘buy credits’ and ‘get started free’ seems contradictory and garish imo
@TrungTPhan
Also a storyline in HBO Silicon Valley.
I think you have to have a certain pillar of your personality hinging on your singular workplace identity for this to work.
If that was offered to me, I’m not getting down about it, I’m getting on the side hustle with a guaranteed income

Can't wait for the Australian government to use more algorithms and AI to commit criminal acts just to be able to blame it on a primary school prop department product.

Evolution of AI in Digital Accessibility (A11Y) - A longer article I wrote about the history of AI in A11Y, the pessimism of digital accessibility and how we innovate inclusively with movements like e/acc!
It's a longer one than usual so strap in.

When AGI is mainstream & consuming enough jobs that there is no value to higher-education driven services.
I can imagine a world where that child goes to a university actually driven towards providing a space for learning and education; not a job knowledge factory we have now.

Not an underhanded question, I’m sure you have your justification and I’m curious what it is.

Unfortunately not dealing with chronic health well the last couple days which is why updates have been quiet. The work has been done but after that, the energy hasn’t always been there to engage.

Non-stop sales for the first hour!!
Absolutely amazing to get chatting to customers, see how excited (and confused) people are by fresh mushrooms!
If this continues we can consider today a massive success!
To everyone that thought my mushroom post yesterday looked unreal, may I introduce you to Coral Tooth Mushroom.
As though you have combined clouds and the ocean. Air solidified.

The indexing begins...
It's been a massive learning curve going from learning how to build accessible products, to learning how to release them, get them indexed, handle metadata, emails, privacy policy and so much more.
Building is just the first step.

The top comment there that hiring based on merit means DEI shouldn’t matter UNLESS your system or the wider system is flawed to begin with.
Is so close to getting the point.. 🤏
In my career as a developer & a11y consultant i've noticed something dangerous.
Great products missing out on their potential to reach a multi-trillion dollar market & improve people's lives because accessibility stopped being accessible.
No more.
@BelindaJones68
Not knowing Flint or the situation but it seems fair that someone (a victim) wouldn’t disclose at the time and they’ve very much entitled to disclose at a later date?
Not seeing the dishonesty here.
