Are you sick of the constant discussion of AI? Me too, so I spent an entire year trying to find a solution to make AI optional. I hope you enjoy! youtu.be/R-edYoZZosg

EVEN PACKER FANS LOL

For a concrete example of something that is frequently only accessible to mouse users: Tooltips If you make an info box that only appears on mouseover, you've essentially barred anyone not using a mouse from ever reading that info Hope it's not something important like say… password requirements!

Some people may be unable to use a mouse, and instead rely exclusively on keyboards, or use assistive technologies such as speech recognition, head pointers, mouth sticks, or eye-gaze tracking systems. If a website is accessible only to mouse users, these people will be excluded.

Alright, NOW 2025 can officially be Wrapped

REMEMBER Feliz Año Nuevo = Happy New Year Feliz Ano Nuevo = Happy New Butthole

In 2026, how many more hockey romances do you think will be published? 😆

Squeezed one last book in to finish out the year 😆

if the wheel of time characters saw you cryin in the bathroom at a new year’s eve party (kevin style)

Sports betting apps have made live sports borderline unwatchable for me. Gamblers should have to go to a physical location to place sports bets

I really appreciate YouTube videos with chapter markers and human-edited captions. They just make it a lot easier to watch

I've always been into things after everyone else but now I feel old about it. I pretty much have KPDH on repeat. I might be too old for this, and my neighbors may possibly hate my voice, but I am SINGING. 🎵 HOW IT'S DONE DONE DONE 🎵

we're fully passengers now on a plane where this happened and have been for some time my guess is the lowered barriers to entry and access to audience which has been a positive of the internet for writers, artists, gamedevs etc brought this along with it. credentials matter less to get "on a stage"

LOL somehow I made the top 20 finalists to win a stay at the crescent. Will you vote for me please? 🥺 flip.to/72ONdV-sm

I miss when places didn't actively hate their customers

I really need more folks to have read The Culture Map so that we can talk about the spectrum(s) the book introduces 😅

This is a common issue with anything generated from and LLM: If the person is not an expert in what the output SHOULD be, they may look at the output and think “this is right” Not many people are accessibility experts. So they either don’t ask for accessible code or accept a poor answer

For all its flaws, at least Goodreads picks an *appropriate* week to send their "year in review" notification 😆

Periodic reminder: Your friends are still your friends even if you haven't had a real conversation in a bit!! If you're thinking of them, reach out and let them know!

Pro Tip: if you're the oldest person in the room, and you want to go home, you don't have to blame anyone else for wanting you to leave, you can just say you'd like to go home

Happy Thursday to all who celebrate!! 🎉 And Merry Christmas to those who only join in when it's a holiday 😁🎄

Hmmm genuinely How does one build an art following here? I'm embarrassed lmao #art #artist #drawing #illustration #digitalart #moots

Also if anyone knows how to use PayPal for art commissions please tell me because I have no idea and the apps we use in Spain don't work in other countries I fear 😭 #art #artist #drawing #illustration #moots

Anyway, if you want to help families be able to afford to eat this holiday season and beyond, consider making a regular cash donation to your local food bank. And if you’re in Chicago, bring by your spare winter gear, books, toiletries, and supplies! We could use them in our mutual aid shelves.

So uh... If you're an artist (moving from twitter or not) leave your art in the comments, follow me (I follow back!! 💚) or anyone you see interacting to build a follow base My interests in # #art #artist #illustration #painting #digitalart #moots #wot #haikyuu #kpop #ateez #got7 #aot #snk #anime

When someone says "I'm down for anything", I'm pretty sure that they're *trying* to sound accommodating, but the effect is more like "go ahead and do all the planning without my input"

I still haven't given up 💔 #SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yUw753/

Alt text always depends on context. Imagine an icon of a computer printer. It could be used on a page of free icons. It could be on a school's computer lab site. Or it could be part of a button that allows you to print the current page. In each instance, the same icon would need different alt text.

There are so many games that probably would have been better if they'd hired (and listened to) at least one competent UX designer. Or even a developer who'd worked alongside good UX designers before. UX is about way more more than making things pretty

💯 things AI replaces aren't worth doing in the first place like people are feeding it bullet points to write an email, other side asks it to summarize into bullet points which aren't even the same bullet points thanks to errors and made up additions, email the goddamn bullet points wtf are we doing

The effectiveness of using a term rises or falls in direct proportion to the degree to which you and your audience have a shared understanding of that term If you use jargon that your audience won't understand the same as you, you're probably not going to get your point across very well

Not sure how many streamers see my reposts, but… 👇

We really didn't appreciate video rental spots like Blockbuster enough when we had them 🥲

Headings serve as landmarks for users and help them understand how different pieces of information relate to each other. For example, a section with a level 3 headings probably provides information in support of information provided in the previous level 2 heading, and so on.

Been seeing a bunch of ad spots for a car called "AFEELA". The actors and imagery could be real, but it feels like the ad scripts must be genAI or something because they're pretty… disjointed and nonsensical 🤨

This is so real lmaoooo "She booked a solo trip to Iceland while you were composing your <<good morning>> text" 😂😂

great thread example about how gen AI can't even be trusted to do very simple and relatively unimportant things, which it fails at with total confidence until a human operator manually catches and corrects it, while it's increasingly being used by people to do complex and seriously important things

There's no glory or honor in winning trivia by cheating

Hey Devs, Just a heads up... This is what digital ableism looks like. Don't do this. And if you do, you must add a styled focus indicator to replace the one you hid. Focus Visible (Level AA) www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/U... #Accessibility #A11y #WebDev

If you care about the health of the ebook ecosystem, a move that lets customers keep your kindle books on their personal computers or side-load them onto other ereaders is pretty much all upsides. Enough so that I'm not 100% sure why Amazon is doing it? That is my biggest hesitation, tbh.

Just reminded myself why I quit watching any anime that was the least bit obscure 15ish years ago… 😅

An icon button with a visible label doesn't need an aria-label on the icon. The icon should be treated as a decorative image using aria-hidden. Both the aria-label on the icon and the visible lable would both be announced which is redundant and possibly confusing. #A11y #FrontEnd

Admittedly I don't have a ton of TTRPG experience, but it seems… odd to me that you wouldn't consider the GM part of the group. They're part of the collaboration, and they're not *your* enemy just because they happen to control your characters' enemies

If you are over 45 and drew the Cool S in school, please let us know. Also any historians want to weigh in? Did Henry VIII draw the cool S to woo women?

Don't miss the #WotIdolHoliday Extravaganza! This Saturday, December 13th @ 2pm ET hosted by The Way of the Leaf 🌿 www.youtube.com/live/qCXiudK... Spread the word! 📣 #TheWheelOfTime #SaveWOT #WotSkies

At least, that’s the plan.

The Game Accessibility Guidelines have been put together by game studios, specialists and academics. While they are not an official set of standards or documents, they are a collection of tips and techniques to help developers make games more inclusive. gameaccessibilityguidelines.com
