If you’ve wanted to go to #ffconf but couldn’t afford it, I have a ticket spare going. Much rather it got used. ( my week’s focus got changed. 😞) Ping me.

Come on, let’s sell out @ffconf.org again this year! We’re really lucky that the foremost front end conference is here in the UK. Get yourself a ticket!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I really miss offline mode on apps. Some people would like to use your services whilst travelling through shitty internet connections. ( I’m looking at Workable mobile app today. )

I’m not gonna make it to #ffconf. @remysharp.com Do you have anyone who you know would like my seat?

Fastest way to get disqualified from a job - send the application in a language other than the one the job posting was in. ( unless stated otherwise ) - not read the questions correctly ( giving quantitative answers to a non quantitative questions )

75 years ago today, European nations signed this Convention, so the Holocaust could not be repeated. Beware those who want this to end.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Soemtimes it’s not about finding the best solution. Sometimes it’s about finding the least worse.

This is next Tuesday folks! If you're involved in #wordpress #freelance #webdev and live in #manchester or #stockport, it'd be good to see you. Tickets are free!

The thing that makes me sigh the most these days is when something is obvious to you, and despite best efforts to improve the situation for everyone, having to have a conversation where you feel like everything was for nough.

Your regular reminder: In the USA Freedom of Speech means the GOVERNMENT can’t arrest you for expressing an opinion. It doesn’t mean calling someone a fucker will mean it’s illegal for them to punch you. xkcd.com/1357/

This sucks ass.

Dear conferences old and new - Please consider backing up your sites with archive.org when you finish an event. It’s a shame to see links slowly break as people let go of their contributions to the tech ecosystem.

Looking for some people to connect with that want to present an online webinar — specifically around running and agency, website design/dev, etc. Who are some of your favorite speakers?

Just realised I can use the wayback machine to take snapshots of public websites/ pages I want to keep a track off without taking screenshots or downloading the whole site and storing it myself… Yes I’ve used the internet archives before… but I'm talking about stuff like Rightmove listings etc.

If the UK Government requires people to verify their age to visit some websites, the age assurance industry must be regulated to ensure privacy and prevent identity theft. Your chums at @openrightsgroup.bsky.social incite you to sign their open letter: action.openrightsgroup.org/sign-open-le...

Just crossed the state line into Alabama on the way to take the kids to Disney. I made use of 10 hours in the car today and finished this incredibly epic blog post on the European Accessibility Act. (Summaries of laws from all 27 countries.) #a11y #accessibility equalizedigital.com/european-acc...

Reflecting on #frontendnorth it was a wonderful experience. Great talks, cheap tickets, and one of the most inclusive and friendly crowds I've had the pleasure to spend time with at an event like this. Recommended for future editions!

@bell.bz Hey! Any chance your slides from #FrontEndNorth are anywhere public? I wanted to ref them to my engineers.

Here is an otter snoot to help with your day.

The @phparch.com PHP Podcast is going live in a couple of minutes! Join me and @johncongdon.bsky.social to talk PHP, share stories, and have a blast. Jump on our Discord and be part of making the show great! 🐘 www.youtube.com/watc...

Had a wonderful day at @frontendnorth.bsky.social. Thanks a lot for having me. If you're interested in the slides to my talk, you can find them here: ichimnetz.com/slides/unwra... #FrontEndNorth

This is a good website to promote right now, especially when these laws come into power. www.ageverificationfacts.org.uk

If you want to get involved in fighting these here, check out @fightforthefuture.org's "Bad Internet Bills" campaign as a starting point. www.badinternetbills.com

Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard. I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, emcees, speakers and organisers. It’s such a big job to set up an event and it was an amazing event. #FrontEndNorth

Fun thing and coool thing : PrideFlag.dev @joehart.bsky.social #FrontEndNorth

It’s important to test with the the products users are using It’s a common misconception that if your site is WCAG AA compliant, bit that’s not true. WCAG ≠ fully accessible @craigabbott.co.uk #FrontEndNorth

The penultimate talk at @frontendnorth.bsky.social is from Craig Abbot, titled “if it’s not usercentric, it’s not accessible”

When I got involved with Front End North, one of the things I wanted to achieve was an affordable ticket price. My inspiration was WordCamp London, which priced its tickets so that the whole community could come - not just developers, but testers, designers and writers too.
