Wondering if there's an #accessibility #slack or any other active space? If so, can I please be invited or could you leave a link below. If not, as we scale #a11y I desperately feel the need for a #community to bounce ideas off & learn from - should we create one?

#Google seems to be making bogus unauthorized charges to my a/c, their payments page isn't listing this, their chat center crashes on raising this & they've disabled removal of payment method. #googlescam #Googleplaystore

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. https://t.co/hGdwXMzQpX

Do you ever have that moment where you're responding on whatsapp at godspeed, heart palpitating.. because you're scared the person will come online and it'll turn into a conversation? No? Just me? Ok. #WhatsApp #hermit #stilldontgetsocialmedia #analogwasit

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

For 3 years now, I cannot use @Uber because their payment method is on a loop, I have made the same payment probably more than 10 times in the hopes that it works, their @Uber_Support has no options for me to report this so everytime I try to book a cab, I'm asked to pay again 🥲

Disability is not inferiority. Disability is not inability. Disability is not incapability. Disability is difference. Difference sometimes requires access and accommodation. Access and accommodation are not special needs. They are human needs.

Climate change is going to make the world sicker, hungrier, poorer, gloomier and way more dangerous by 2040, according to a 3,675-page UN science report. Here is a thread on some of what’s inside. https://t.co/7kiWzlNeVO 1/7

Access for disabled people is not an extra, a bonus, an amenity or a luxury.

Having lost my brother to Pancreatic Cancer exactly a year ago, seeing him go from a doctor in the NHS to a patient in the same hospital he worked in, losing 40 kgs in 4 months. YES. I HATE this very un-empowered way to describe a tragic & cruel end.

@nlshaheen @trilliz @nytimes @ChanceyFleet @clb5590 @HabenGirma Helpful re alt text: "In a Twitter post, a blind activist, Amy Kavanagh, advises her followers to think about context: 'If it’s a fashion picture, tell me about the clothes. If it’s a group photo, I don’t need every outfit described.'”

I wish there were more resources for accessibility for enterprise products used by colleagues, everyone talks about customers but colleagues are part of that very population #accessibility #AccessibilityPlus2021

When a technical choice you made one night turns in to a 70 year business decision
The retail price of a bottle of Coca-Cola stayed set at 5 cents for 70 years (1890-1959) despite inflation, 3 wars, and the Great Depression. The main reason? Coke's vending machines were built to only accept nickels and the company didn't want to double the price.

I saw this screenshot of Google Translate assuming gender while translating gender-neutral sentences in Hungarian. So I asked myself - does a similar gender bias exist in Google's language models for Hindi? (a thread)

Inverse response: A phenomenon that most PMs inherently know about, yet don't apply enough when they are trying to find out their MVP. “When you turn on the hot water tap, for the first few seconds, cold water comes out” That’s an inverse response. A thread 1/9
