@bitpixi I read it as poetry. It’s done. The consonant rhyme and rhythm is perfect.

@z_rose @beantin @Acuity_Design @RavenAlly I think you’re on the right track here. And yes, the reflow is true of course. I’m thinking maybe the answer is mobile first rather than responsive. Like ”adding number input to fields” a lot of devs forget when they’re focused on making the reflow.
@z_rose @beantin @Acuity_Design @RavenAlly Mobile first made a lot of websites more accessible for all the reasons you’re pointing out. Because we simplify. Now that I understand the thought experiment better I’ll be reflecting on it during the day off today :) I want to try and make a case for wcag as well.

@beantin @z_rose Exactly. Just acknowledging that the vulnerable are not always in minority. Thinking of my favorite #postnormal diagram by @Acuity_Design, How we optimize for white men, the bottom left white corner when considering the world population.

@beantin @z_rose That's the kicker isn't it. Is it ok to harm privileged people in favor of reducing harm for vulnerable people. Something for every team to discuss.

@z_rose The one that causes the least harm to the most vulnerable.
↪ Replying to @berkun
@berkun I believe many other designs are survival designs as well, but the potential impact on users' lives is not as apparent or transparent. Hence these are the best because people understand the risks. When users do not understand the risks, the incentive for good design is less.
Many today on Sweden’s national day celebrate the crowning of king Karl X Gustav. But we could also celebrate queen Kristina, who on this day in 1654 (27yo) abdicated (making room for Karl) and started travelling to follow her dreams and founded a scientific academy in Rome. >
> Karl Gustav was her cousin and suitor, but early on she declared - to the dismay of many - that she would not marry. She did ensure that Karl would be her successor, something that he naturally thought would not happen. In the end she outlived him by 29 years. >
> Long seen as a traitor to our country (for leaving and converting to catholicism), Kristina is today regarded a cultural visionary. It would be nice to see her mentioned more in connection with our #nationalday.

Also, this: ”Some historians assert she maintained heterosexual, non-sexual, lesbian, or bisexual relationships during the course of her life depending on which source is consulted.”
You have to love the factfulness of history.
And yes, the primary official reasons for celebrating this day is the coronation of Gustav Vasa in 1523 and a new instrument of government being promulgated in 1809 (and also in 1974).
We are generally pretty lousy at celebrating though, but do enjoy the day off. 😁
The clash between knowing how bad you yourself can feel on and off when life hits you, but expecting other people to be performing at their utmost at all times... 😕
I now strive to be surpassingly friendly in traffic, to the pleasure of those I encounter - and myself. >
> Arriving at my destination in a good mood makes a huge difference, costing me 5-30 seconds every day.
If you carry that power, play the nice card every time. If you're not there, I hope you come across people who will accept you being you, elevating your strengths.

@grishund Super-insats som vanligt. Tack för att du ger av din tid och kunskap.

@beantin @AirportLisbon Let the research commence!
I'm moving websites and domains (my own) between hosts and crashing things left and right. Certificate warnings and such. Wish me luck.
Thankful for Twitter in times like these. Except most people don't know to find me here. 🙄
When I'm talking to support and end with "so I need a certificate per domain; I don't want a redirect".
And they go "So to avoid the certificates problem you could do a 301-forward..."
I just don't have the energy to also teach the support staff what a redirect is.
Okay we're on the same page now and it's that awesome wait for internet stuff to PROPAGATE... which means refreshing every hour and emptying caches and whatnot...

@LaserMWebber I gave this a stab a while ago and while not pretty I think I was heading in the right direction. And now I saw @skynebula's image in the thread and I'm like "there it is!"

Min handbok Digital omtanke har nu funnits ute i några veckor och snart släpps den även på engelska. I den går jag igenom hur vår digitala tjänster kan skada människor och hur vi kan arbeta annorlunda, med oss själva och i våra projekt, för att minska riskerna för negativ påverkan.
Alltför sällan mäter vi och följer upp hur människors välmående förändras, och hur utsatta människor påverkas, som ett resultat av det vi skapar. Det vill jag ändra på, och ser att omtanke kan bli en konkurrensfördel.
Eget förlag har en sommarkampanj just nu. Om du köper många böcker (behöver inte vara min utan även alla i samma bokserie: Kunskap på nolltid) och hamnar på mer än 1000kr så får du 20% rabatt och fri frakt fram till 30 juni.
Så här skrev Kim Goodwin efter att hon läst det första provexemplaret av min handbok på engelska:
Making ethical, inclusive digital products and services isn’t easy, even when everyone has the best intentions. In this brief introduction to “Digital Compassion,” Per Axbom offers teams a set of essential questions and concepts to frame your conversations and get started on a better path.

@toastfortea @Derek_Zzzz @chick_in_kiev To be fair, Endrew and Jaremy are also real names.
My highlights from #wwdc19:
Privacy: "Sign in with Apple" Auto-generated anonymous e-mails for your apps.
Security: Allow location share only once, and then the app has to ask again.
Accessibility: Voice Control for MacOS and iOS.
When the audience heard just the pro stand would cost $999. Priceless.

There we go. Finally. #designethics x.com/WIRED/status/1…
Seeing @GretaThunberg on the cover of @WIRED made my day. The speed at which her message is spreading across the world and into the corridors of power is propitious.
Note the article about productivity ultra-achievers. I bet none of them come close to Greta 😂
