Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day!

A day meant to foster communication, education, and awareness about digital access and inclusion.

There's a huge community posting about accessibility daily. These people keep me informed and motivated to do my best every day.

GAAD is great, but it's just one day. Do what you can to keep accessibility awareness front of mind all year round. Check out the feeds below, start following some.

today, i got an email from Apple, telling me that a subscription I had purchased that I no longer want was going to automatically renew, with a clear link to cancel. STRANGELY, subscriptions purchased outside of Apple never let me know this or make it easy to cancel.

Next was an important talk by @ampiper on rethinking design for accessibility at Stanford University. Piper presents interfaces that are grounded in extensive fieldwork that reveal the interactive nature of accessibility and also reveal new HCI paradigms. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyg5S7l_rlg (13/14)

30 years ago, imagine there was a scifi book that gave a hierarchy of difficulty of things in 2024 and it said:

  • reasonably good creative writing (easy)
  • automatically driving a car through SF (medium)
  • picking up the junk on your bedroom floor (hard)

@pg

new hierarchy of complexity classes

scheduling -- np-hard

<<

getting everyone's constraints -- people-hard

getting a teenager to do one thing in particular within a generous timeframe -- teenager-hard

Pillaged from BlueSky:
"20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.
The law only ever serves capital."

Claudine Gay is the best administrator I’ve met at (where I’ve been a prof for 10+ years). Every time I saw her speak or act, she was exceptionally well prepared. She articulated her vision clearly and then acted with integrity. She was efficient. I saw her in action when she was the dean of Social Sciences and when she was the dean of FAS (including a contentious situation where other Harvard leaders kept vacillating). Harvard lost a rare leader who could inspire and get things done.

🎂 Since I LOVE to do this every Nov 11, wishing a HAPPY 30th BDAY to the MOSAIC browsers which is at the root of literally EVERYTHING we do online. Developed by a small visionary group of students at NCSA at Illinois, the world changed for ever. Can you even imagine what might have happened w/o it... who knows.

Another article about how the GOP efforts to smear researchers, limit the ability of government to share information with social media platforms, and pressure platforms to stop moderating harmful lies is impacting the ability of local and state election officials to get accurate information about voting to their constituents.

After January 6, the deep story of “rigged election” became a liability. So the deep story of “voter fraud” was quickly replaced by the deep story of “censorship”. This allowed Trump supporters to distract from the violence on Jan 6, to claim instead that the real threat to democracy wasn’t this interruption to the peaceful transfer of power, but the so-called “censorship” of conservatives.
