@Bell_Support: Trying to setup an Apple Watch Standalone plan with @Bell has been a nightmare. Even though they have it on their site no one knows how to do it on the phone or in the store. 2 hours on the phone so far spoke to 5 different people. https://t.co/zL2vQ3sd2J

@OpenAI how do I report a problem with https://t.co/JYohvrnEf9 ChatGPT 4.0 not working with my assistive technology like it does with ChatGPT 3.5 in my browser?

@scottohara One challenge I had for a job was to check for WCAG 2.0 issues of a webpage on a printed (paper!) copy of the source code to said page. The page even had a complex table using headers and id. Even had 4.1.1 issues. 90 minutes GO!

@thebillygregory I heard moving to Montreal cures that.

Public service workers have shown tremendous goodwill and respect by including cleaning up after themselves, donating to local food banks, and upholding their communities. They don't deserve to be fined for a honk and a hot dog.

@pauljadam @stevefaulkner @TPGinteractive @w3c Curious why you do not support it?

@aardrian I haven’t even started looking at iPhone apps. I think that would help me with the switch.

So I'm making the move to #Mastodon, not sure I'll be anymore active there but still wouldn't mind if you come follow me over there: @[email protected]. See you on the flip side.

I accept that SC 4.1.1 Parsing is problematic, but still have concerns about it's removal given that in some instances it provides an unambiguous fail for #a11y problems #WCAG

@gradualclearing just referred to the EN 301 549 as “Ernie”! I’m going to use it from now on, you should too.
