4:30 am, been waiting for 14 hours for a callback from @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp

I guess discovering I’m was in an illegal rented property isn’t a big deal for them, might as well go to bed

@gdurys Tres facile pour les daltoniens 😎

@steipete @Vimeo It shouldn’t have to be this way @Vimeo

@colourblindorg @EmiratesFACup @MailOnline Unfortunately the comments are exactly what you’d expect from @MailOnline readers

My eyesight has been bad for a while, and I’ve just had eye surgery to correct it

I have to wear shades everywhere I go

If you still haven’t adopted dark mode, get in the bin

So many apps I haven’t been able to use for months

Yes, @Uber especially huge companies like you

One of my many pet peeves is people who build websites who claim that accessibility limits their creativity.

It doesn’t. It’s a cop-out of an excuse to continue excluding people.

For The Verge's Design series, I wrote about my personal experience living with colorblindness, how it's widely misunderstood by people without color vision deficiency, and ways to design for it. https://t.co/HHBWY60Bda

@HashtagHeyAlexa Not the author's fault, I know, but the low contrast between the text and background was unfortunate to say the least.

[MySight CVD Simulator @MySightCVDSim]

Hello 👋

Version 2 of, well, me, is now on the App Store!

New:

- Toggle the CVD filter on and off to quickly switch between normal and CVD simulation. Suggested by @DaltonLens

- Help screen that explains the technical terms. Suggested by @kmi_edu

Seriously folks, Chrome AND safari. I’ve cleared all cookies and nothing fixes this

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

@TwitterSupport https://t.co/kOKtR1X95X is giving me this on chrome, any suggestions?

I've cleared all cookies

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

@Inferis Yes, swizzling. Always swizzling.

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

Because it takes time to get right in the app, and they have investors to answer to

And they're watching money leaving their accounts every month and they need to stay afloat

It's a difficult balance to strike, but we need to champion those in need

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

We, as developers, need to champion accessibility to our teams and bosses.

Those whose focus on the bottom line will always feel compelled to cut additional costs, and the "edge case" of treating that 1 in 12, or 1 in 20, or 1 in 50 user is seen as an unjustified expense

[Paul Hudson @twostraws]

📣 I'm hearing the #WWDC22 accessibility labs are quieter than normal, so if you apply for a spot you're almost guaranteed to get one. This is your chance to ask anything about accessibility to help make your apps better – show them your work! You never know where it might go 🚀

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

Updated my CV and LinkedIn profile today to add an end date to my time at @bloom_life

I leave with relationships that are with great friends, not co-workers

My next job has some big shoes to fill!

PS looking for a new challenge, no pressure! 😃

[Warren Gavin @Apokrupto]

That's some accessibility-unfriendly UI right there

Ouch
