do any #a11y specialists have opinions about cinemagraphs?
i.e. "subtle motion that plays in a short, never-ending loop, while the rest of the image remains still" https://t.co/GwZf1ptBkD

autoplaying video seems a bad idea, but does the subtlety of the motion make a difference?

@geoffdoesstuff that reminds me I should look up how to change the default iOS screenshot controls, because I keep taking screenshots by accident when I'm trying to lock the phone

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

@EdotJdotLeonard i.e. it's multiplying the width and the height

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

@EdotJdotLeonard thanks - I think the label needs better wording - it's not meant to be a change based on area

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

@seanedmund @BenDylan Likewise

The more people are in a meeting, the lower the quality of discussion

Has someone already got an eponymous law that states this?
If not, can I claim it? What's my prize?

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

@morenodotnet @getpantheon sorry to hear that Alex - all the best

why do @brightdome have a policy of 1 drink per customer?
I get that nobody wants lairy drunk punters, but surely buying a round is a thing, especially at a gig, where your friends want to carry on watching the show while one of you goes to the bar

@meyerweb there's a point to be made there somewhere about the scientific method, the importance of humility, and having your priorities right

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

Massive kudos to @meyerweb for being able to publish this phrase, never mind all the other good things he’s done for the web in his career: “I was probably wrong about that” https://t.co/Qs2tKp4fPL

I used to think that SAFe, though not in the least agile, was better than chaos. I'm beginning to reconsider that last part.

@swissmiss Yak shaving?

Sometimes I feel bad for being an accidental landlord, but when I read stuff like this I think I’m probably not part of the problem

[Katie Baskerville (She/Her) @iambaskerville]

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever had your deposit charged for by a landlord? I’ll go first. £150 for ‘dust on lampshade’

I wish we would stop using the word "resources" to describe people:

The majority of software development seems to be figuring out how to *think* about a problem. And then expressing that (hopefully clearly).

[Malcolm Young @malcomio]

@GergelyOrosz yes, this is kind of what I was trying to articulate in this article:
