@olimortimer Ask it to show it’s working out. I’ve given it spreadsheet formulas and asked it to apply it to large lists of figures and it’s been accurate. Copilot also seems to work well for this stuff.

@virginmedia @IanCovey Thanks @virginmedia all sorted now!

[Barry Khan @barrykhan]

Anyone else in Lichfield having @virginmedia broadband issues? #lichfield #virginmedia

[Barry Khan @barrykhan]

@IanCovey @virginmedia Looks like it’s sorted 🤞

[Barry Khan @barrykhan]

@IanCovey @virginmedia Yeah I thought that might be the case but @virginmedia didnt state an issue in the area.. looks like they have now.. sending an engineer out on Thursday.. 🤔 not ideal as self employed and wfh. Wonder how keen Virgin will be to receive my invoice!

Our AI team on @GOVUK just started a discussion on emerging design patterns for using AI in public services, over on GitHub 👀

We have a bunch of insights to share but would love to hear from others who are experimenting with AI in the UK government: https://t.co/6IgiB9eTlM

We used to recommend testing with JAWS screenreader because it was the most popular. It still shows as being most popular, but NVDA is almost at the same level of usage, and one of the advantages of NVDA is that it doesn't mask as many issues as JAWS (helpfully) does (1 of 2)

@kubabartwicki That’s awesome. However it is automating one of my more enjoyable tasks! Definitely useful and was only a matter of time.

@adamsilverhq Many of the fantastic designers I’ve worked with were from a front end dev background, often have more accessibility experience too.

@olimortimer @Trustpilot Shame on @Trustpilot, not great at all!

@CuriousScutter I generally buy cables use them a few times. Then they live in a draw.. a year passes. I then get fed up and give them to a charity shop.

2 weeks later the cycle continues..

Nike Strength launched on Shopify. It uses Dawn theme, our most accessible theme to date.

Approx. 26% of adults in the US have some type of disability. By using Dawn, Nike has increased its market reach.

Accessibility is good for business.

Gaza is under intense bombing.

Telecommunications have been cut.

We can't get through to our family who have been trapped in this war zone for almost 3 weeks.

We can only pray they survive the night.

How many more children have to die before the world says enough?

@cathy_dutton Wow great achievement!

Great first week @GDSTeam . Really interesting work. Still very much in the listening phase and resisting temptation to start designing! #interactiondesign #UCD

Many people struggle to make consistent comic characters and scenes in Midjourney.

Combining my findings with techniques shared by fellow creators, this post will fix it once and for all.

In theory you can now make the images of an entire comic book.

Let's dive in.

Terribly sad news. Farewell to a tireless advocate for a kinder, more accessible, more open web. Your pain is over, now you may rest.

I think FriendsReunited might have been focusing on the wrong things in 2003. Not sure users were screaming out for mixtapes/CDs, probably better ways to connect. While FR where making merch Facebook may well have been being built or at least evolving in Zucks head #userneeds
