I’m seeing “Civil War” starting to pop up in my feed again.

Do people not understand how absolutely horrible that would be? It’s not going to be some dudes LARPing in the woods against each other over the weekend. It’s going to bring a complete halt to a large majority of our lives. You’ll see our infrastructure shut down. After the first 48 hours, you’ll start to see the truly awful things people are capable of doing to each other. Depending on its length, you’ll see tens of thousands, if not millions, dead. It will be a dystopian nightmare.

Folks who think they want this: You don’t. You really don’t want this.

@karlgroves I love to help people the way others helped me when I was starting out, but the sales pitches that show up without a public link like that are incredibly annoying, can’t imagine the ones you get.

@JonAvilaA11y Many universities will loanout assistive technology if students don’t have it themselves, but I’m not sure it’s a requirement.

Well, it seems as though Twitter has finally killed off the accessible twitter client I was using - using the web or their native mobile client isn't nearly as convenient. Guess it was just a matter of time.

@karlgroves The fact that companies like this can stay in business is sad, given the amount of education available on how poor these solutions are for disabled people; the market for these kinds of things should be so small that it wouldn't be worth the money to invest in them..

[Peter A. Bossley @PeterBossley]

#A11y friends have you seen this nonsense attempted rip-off of the Overlay Fact Sheet @karlgroves started? https://overlayfacts.orgs - This made my blood pressure spike so be warned... Going to just leave this here and go take a walk.

[Peter A. Bossley @PeterBossley]

@karlgroves This site attempts to gaslight readers into believing that overlays are a good way to make your website accessible. They don't even bother to make the website accessible to screen reader users, with unlabelled images, etc. It is frankly insulting.

Just like we should always ask “Could this meeting have been an email?”

…we should always ask “Could this PDF have been web page?”

[George Zamfir @georgezamfir]

It really isn’t more complicated than this.

I asked someone who advised both Bill Gates & Satya Nadella on accessibility: how come Microsoft was so horrible on accessibility and now is a leader?

The answer was simply that Gates couldn’t care less whereas Nadella cares deeply.

NEW: It’s been nearly three months since Ohio State President Kristina Johnson confirmed she will resign this year.

Now, for the first time, sources tell @DispatchAlerts about the tensions that led to their split.
