Firstly, has the bouba-Kiki thing repeatedly been found true?

Secondly, has anyone tried to extrapolate universal grammar from it and seen what happens?

@FINOkoye TIL.

FINOkoye, to accessibility

Very quick canvassing amongst any users...

Got a question from a client about accessibility of embedded soundcloud widgets e.g. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/galleries-and-museum-map/hintze-hall.html and would appreciate any high level thoughts/feedback/warnings from the wider community.

Feel free to share!

@FINOkoye Not a daily SR user, but I use them for testing with users. A very quick test with NVDA / Firefox tells me that is has some WCAG violations (missing accName for frame, missing focus indicators, no transcript, etc).

I can get to the play button and activate it. When I pause it the first time it gets replaced with a prompt to go to SoundCloud and it took me a bit to figure out I could dismiss that and get back to the play button.

Not a great experience, but I can make it work.

@FINOkoye I would love to investigate this, sounds like a great topic for a (lengthy) blog post. Will let you know about my findings!

I don't know why but I find the fact that kakapos are parrots so hilarious, it always makes me smile to remember it.

So... I am probably very late to the game but hey, if you've ever found yourself wondering where that slightly niche period drama might have gone (especially if it used to be on YouTube...), check out uktvplay.co.uk. Free (it has ads), properly legal (not that I'd particularly care but good to know) and you don't need a TV license to watch.

Currently re-watching the House of Eliott which is just what I needed for the week it's been!

FINOkoye, to philosophy

I think I'm over COVID enough to get cracking on my research proposal and I want to start as I mean to go on - by centering critical, Black, indigenous and queer perspectives.

SO in that light...

Anyone got references for QTPOC and critical BIPOC #informaticians, philosophers working on cognition, #information [transfer], knowledge construction, #materality of knowledge, networks theory, #computational #modelling?

Please do share!

@FINOkoye 👆 @Tinu Do you have someone who you could refer?

Or someone who knows someone who could?

OK rolls up sleeves

Let's get to closing some of these tabs.

Something happened today which is so amazingly lucky I can only be supremely thankful!!

Overall, I really am an inordinately lucky person so I really try to pass it on or to involve others in my strange luck so they get some too.

Very annoying how (and Central Asian) modernism always gets missed out of narratives like this: http://makardesign.tilda.ws/...

FINOkoye, to accessibility

here's a question. Can one make text flow to best fit the size of the viewport, rather than the 'screen'?

I'm not sure this even makes sense, but I ask this because I've been thinking about how to best design content for extreme zoom, and I'm looking for experiments where the user doesn't have to scroll, even at say 500%.

@FINOkoye @octothorpe you could also reduce padding/margin at the sides maybe

@FINOkoye @octothorpe oh and on your question of mobile vs resized browser, I don't think there's any difference to CSS

FINOkoye, to UX

No, you are not using "AI" in your UX process. You're either using a jumped up pattern matcher or a mechanical Turk that's destroying the planet.

FINOkoye,

Thank goodness I only got into this field to fund whatever community [STEM/design] stuff I thought was needed because you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Just pure nonsense left, right and centre.

FINOkoye,

Can't even make accessible carousels and you're here pretending that a service with an inherent tendency to exacerbate bias is even worth using for stuff like tagging your quotes.

Jog on, my loves!

Would like to read more radical design texts from Hispanic designers please (and yes in Spanish - no English translations).

Philosophy of design, community centred design, decolonial design, you name it!

FINOkoye, to random

I really can't complain. So many fabulous opportunities right now, getting to consult and work across different sectors and even better most are things I can work on independently with amazing comrades I've met along the way!

I mean sure I won't get to sleep until April 2024 but what the hey... 😂

You're brilliant - and I look forward to visiting the microsite.

FINOkoye,

@Edent 😭 Thank you - that really means a lot!

FINOkoye, to DesignJustice

OK, so got an online design jam coming up 16th-18th November, exploring intersection of design justice, community centred/civic service design and GLAM data.

Sound interesting? Know people who'd be interested?

Well, sign up and share! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/749732840107

Lost a suitcase today on the train (if anyone was on the 10am train from London Liverpool street to Norwich and saw a bright blue 'it' suitcase on the rack above the seats, hit me up! ), overspent on train tickets BUT got to see a friends' exhibition and hang out with them for the first time in person in literal years which was lovely

Any examples of accessible AND innovative/intriguing online collections design? Whether for Museums, online galleries, libraries, independent craft shops?
