Hey @todoist I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. In the last few nonths, I have opened 11 #a11y tickets, and you have resolved 8 of them, often in the next 2 releases. No other task management company has done this, and I've tried them all.

@asana, @mondaydotcom, and many more. Worst is @NotionHQ, who have ignored my emails for years, even my pleas to executives. Thank you for taking action at an era of virtue signaling.

برای عده‌ای ظاهراً اینکه نیروهای حشدالشعبی وارد خاک ایران شوند، اینکه پرچم عراق در خرمشهر به اهتزاز دربیاید، اینکه کاروان‌های شبه‌نظامی در داخل کشور تردد کنند و برای مردم ایران ایجاد رعب و وحشت کنند هیچ‌کدام مسئله نیست. برای این نگاه، فقط یک معیار وجود دارد؛ هر چه آمریکا مخالفش باشد، خوب است، و هر چه آمریکا انجام دهد، بد است حتی اگر نتیجه‌اش نقض حاکمیت ملی و تحقیر خاک ایران باشد، باز هم چشمشان را می‌بندند عجب ویروسی است لامصب این ایدئولوژی

وضعیت تهران هر روز بیشتر شبیه یک شهر جنگ‌زده می‌شود. کم‌کم، آثار خرابی‌ها بیشتر نمایان می‌شود، دود و آتش تبدیل به جزیی عادی از زندگی شهروندان می‌شود و صدای انفجار مدام به گوش می‌رسد. جمهوری اسلامی در خوشبینانه‌ترین حالت (از آغاز جنبش زن‌، زندگی، آزادی) دستکم ۳ سال فرصت داشت تا از تبدیل شدن تهران به یک شهر جنگ‌زده جلوگیری کند. اما به جای آن ترجیح داد تا لحظه آخر هم با شهروندان ایرانی بجنگد، هم با جامعه جهانی. مسئولیت تبدیل تهران به شهری جنگ‌زده تمام و کمال با جمهوری اسلامی است و امروز این شهروندان هستند که بهای این حماقت را می‌پردازند؛ مردمی که نه در تصمیم‌های سیاسی نقشی داشتند و نه در آغاز این مسیر. با این حال صدای انفجار، دود و ویرانی سهم آنها شده است. این بهایی است که یک ملت برای لجاجت و حماقت یک حکومت دینی می‌پردازد.

Imagine being Iranian and this once in a lifetime opportunity comes to rise up and take back your freedom. Then you realize that the nations of Europe and the rest of the world don't care. In fact, to keep gas prices low, they are willing to leave you oppressed. That your only hope lies with the people liberating you, who you've been told are worst enemies of your people. We live in remarkable times...

من نمی‌تونم بگم نه به جنگ. چون آزار روحی، جسمی و جنسی دو پرستار زن، «تجاوز با انگشت» و «تجاوز ماموران به صورت گروهی و دو سه نفره و در طی روزهای متوالی» و «وارد کردن یک جسم خارجی به مقعد» تا جایی که منجر به برداشتن بخشی از روده و خارج‌کردن رحم آنها بشه، برای من امری عادی یا قابل پذیرش و مدارا نیست. جمهوری اسلامی اینه. خود واقعیشه. بعد از این هم، اگه باقی بمونه، همین خواهد بود.

Think about this: To the Iranians it's safer—and more hopeful—to have bombs falling on their country, than to be left alone with the Islamic regime. That is a desperation most of the world will never understand.

#Gemini helped me code an #accessible iOS app to track my lifts, even though I knew only a bit of SwiftUI. I believe this is an incredible way for #blind people who know a bit of programming to make their own tools with #a11y built in.

I notice that #Gemini is really good at applying #a11y fixes. I hope that means more companies will implement #a11y fixes, because "we don't know how" is off the table as a valid excuse, and so is "we don't have time".

People often ask me why I don't condemn the war on Iran, because, certainly, negotiation and "talking" makes everything possible. Lucky for us, a negotiator tried recently! Here's his account of the situation: facebook.com/share/v/1FtPdCC…

I'm back to X after a loooong time — last time I was here it was still called Twitter. Hello everyone! Let my comeback post end with a hope for the end of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you very much 🙏

Insane! I get that it's a person's perception. But to make someone feel this way and not even reassure them you get what they're going through is just cruel. My Wife Was Dying of Brain Cancer. My Boss at Amazon Told Me to Perform or Quit motherjones.com/politics/202…
