Google is not your friend.

And if you only optimise your sites for Chrome, and don’t test in other browsers, you are not just a lazy developer, but also complicit in exposing people to tracking.

“Accessibility is Not a Feature” by @beep is a great resource. He points out the difference between making a design navigable by assistive technology and making it usable for people visiting the design with that technology. #a11y

We must reject GCHQ’s newest “ghost” proposal for what it is: a mandated encryption backdoor. https://t.co/1aeuhvwYse

@beep re. the Remove Image Background service, isn’t it open to some kind of Fake News Abuse? Just wondering…

Have any folks using macOS (especially Mojave) found a workable replacement for Dragon dictation? They have helpfully told my brother they won’t support Mojave and will no longer continue development for macOS just two months after charging him £200 for the software 😡

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Never forget what that £4.2 billion could have been spent on:

🔹840k hip replacements
🔹91k nurses
🔹91k paramedics
🔹78k doctors
🔹4200 CT scanners
🔹2100 MRI scanners
🔹12 entire NHS hospitals

What a grotesque waste of taxpayers' money. The lives that could have been saved.

“Replace the system”
well, he doesn’t say it exactly but radical, hopeful stuff from @beep:

Donald Tusk has now repeated what Theresa May said. We have 3 choice:
A sovereignty-destroying Deal.
An economy-destroying No-Deal.
Or keeping our place in the EU.

Important: accessibility is a *starting point*

[Jake Rayson @growdigital]

Good design is accessible design, design that can be *accessed*, no matter the device. @beep nails it again with “It’s not about the device.”
