hey, you know those "tell me what you were doing when you crashed" boxes you almost never fill out?

I just want you to know that the last... 3? crashes I've worked on have all had BRILLIANT clues for what was wrong in there from users. If you have ANY idea what you were doing, and can put it into words? please, please do, your assistance is HUGELY appreciated. Even just "I was adjusting the app settings” can be a clue!

(also, remember that it's a human reading it eventually, be kind!)

did my first bit of visible mending yesterday, caught my knee on a license plate in a parking lot last week, and now it’s a cute flower :) #sewing

hey, fellow nerds... if I wanted to introduce a 7 yo boy to manga (he's a strong reader), any suggestions on what series may be good? He's started watching One Piece, so i was gonna go for that, but figured I'd ask in case there’s something good right now i don't know about! :) (he loves some of the usual suspects, Dog Cop, The Bad Guys, Investigators)

today in "soap boxes I didn't know i desperately need to stand on" we have: Media and Scientific literacy! Specifically skepticism of things presented via flashy AI-generated videos. Please enjoy this wonderfully snarky video from Media Matters about conspiracy theory videos on tik tok! https://youtu.be/X66MGRN364c?si=CixJGvIjHlqRXtIc

I laughed pretty hard at this one… (it’s Vampire Survivor which is an rogue-like bullet-hell game, that’s weirdly compelling)

For the last few days I’ve thought that omg.lol is down, and I was surprised no one mentioned it. I was about to post about when I thought to ask Greg whether he can reach it - he can’t. But then he checked downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it turns out it’s down only for us. I’ve never experienced this before. Anyone know why this is happening? I have an account there I can’t reach. It’s so odd!

Apple Reminders is more competent that Siri when it comes to understanding intent.

I dropped “broc in bag” into my groceries list and it automatically slotted it into the Produce section.

Meanwhile half the time when I ask Siri to add something to my groceries list it tells me that “I can’t find a grocery list”. #apple #applereminders

I’ve been asked for web accessibility advice by someone who knows web but not accessibility. I know accessibility, but no web.
Can you recommend a web accessibility book that is good for web devs with no prior accessibility experience?
