BTW the keyboard flex on the Starlight version is ridiculous, to the point that I’m surprised they shipped it. It’s because of the transparent PCB apparently. I’ll have to try one of the 3D printed fixes.

Came for a burger, ended up with a logical paradox. This McDonalds location is closed until it’s open, which is 24 hours a day.

This #GAAD and every GAAD, you can champion #accessibility by hiring accessibility specialists, paying them well, ensuring they have what they need to be successful and make a change, and by not putting their heads on the chopping block first whenever layoffs roll around. #a11y

OK I want to know more about BT's web infrastructure. I've created an account and now they're like "please allow at least 10 minutes from the time you receive your activation email before completing this step". Is someone literally scribing my details onto a parchment scroll or something?

Matt Obee @obee.me · 09/05/2025

If I can inspire one person, I call that a win. The conversations you have with coworkers today can influence how they think about accessibility years later, when they've moved onto new gigs. It might not feel like you're making a difference in your current org but there's a longer game at play.

Hatred of pronouns is absurd. It’s just basic good manners and respect. Tell me what name you go by and how to pronounce it and that’s what I’ll call you. Same for pronouns. I might get them wrong occasionally, but I try, and it costs me nothing.
