I don't have statistics more recent than this, but I suspect the situation is still similar now, and it can probably safely be extrapolated meaning that thousands of the 7000+ government services aren't digital accessible to the minimum required standards. #accessibility #AccessibilityRegulations

Apparently Scotland won against Expectations in the football. I haven’t been following closely and I didn’t even know that Expectations is a country.

Wordle 1,728 5/6 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 One of those annoying ones with lots of possibilities after the first go. Pleasing pattern though.

@xkcd.com what would the world be like now if we had never discovered how to harness electricity? Would we have incredibly complex mechanical computers, would steam supercars be a thing, would the worlds biggest company make candles, would we have exhausted fossil fuels?

On Bluesky and LinkedIn, the hashtag #accessibility allows you to find lots of accessibility-related resources. To find accessibility resources in Spanish, use the hashtag #accesibilidad. The hashtag #accessibilité helps you find resources in French.

It's interesting and encouraging that this sort of educational programme exists, but this needs to be taught in every school and college, not just at university level in very few universities: iadp.ahs.illinois.edu #accessibility #AccessibilityRegulations

Amusing little Macbook bug - it turns out that if you plug the USB-C end of the Magsafe cable into the Macbook, it thinks the battery is being charged, Maybe it's a feature and Apple are trialling perpetual motion through power loops.

In 2026 we are reinstating the regular One Team Gov breakfast club in London and also running a virtual one for anybody who doesn't have a meetup near them. If you're interested you can sign up for both using the link (and please retweet/skeet!) www.linkedin.com/posts/onetea...

Some people think the area I live in is quite wealthy / posh, but honestly we are pretty average. We eat the same jammy dodgers as everyone else, both strawberry and apricot varieties:

Look, it’s trite to say, but I’m gonna say it anyway: tell your people that you love them. Apologize when you screw up, check in just to say hi, celebrate every mundane happiness you can with them. They need it more than you know, and so do you.

If you've had any UX/accessibility wins lately tell us please. I need to know tech isn't all just slop and feature chasing. I've been SPIRALING.

A rare 3 - about the minimum involving some skill and not just luck. Wordle 1,578 3/6

Much as I like the word "oftentimes" I didn't expect my phone to autocorrupt my words to include that, especially as I can't remember ever actually using it myself.

@lubes.bsky.social great handle. Anything that links music with computing in a punlike way appeals to me.

Overheard in a coffee shop, someone asking for 1.5 shots instead of the usual 2 or 1. Feels like sitting on the fence to me, and I didn’t see what they did with the spare 0.5 shot.

The Heimtückegesetz is a 1934 Nazi German law that punished "treacherous attacks" on the state and party, restricting free speech and enforcing penalties for any remarks damaging the prestige of the Third Reich, the Nazi government, or the Nazi Party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_...
