AI Pin is cool, but I think we can all agree it’s a huge step back from the tiger electronics r-zone

Accessible playgrounds are the best. Because accessibility helps everyone. When you design something accessibly, you simultaneously create solutions for all sorts of use cases. It's called the curb-cut effect. Let's dive in! 👇 @getstarkco

Hi @SlackHQ - would love ability as an admin to move a message to another channel. Ability to delete is great, but it'd be so much easier to move a topic to the right channel instead.

The existing methodology for addressing accessibility at any scale is simply not enough. We believe a shift towards continuous accessibility is how we move the needle not only to where it should have been all along, but where it has to be for the future of digital products.

Living in America is 1. being denied a prescrip by the ins comp because it’s a “supplement” 2. having your doctor resubmit saying “just to function they need 3x the amount youd normally take as a supplement” and 3. getting back “yeah, still a supplement”. Insurance as doctors…

I’m genuinely curious about how his secret service detail plays into all of this. What an assignment 😂

Ventura 13.3 introduced a new accessibility feature to “Dim flashing lights” in video content which I, of course, love to see. What’s really interesting about it though is even if the video is paused, it seems to know it needs to dim it anyway (no flashing lights in video 🙅).

I still remember when you gave us the first recording of wind from another planet, it was incredible. We’ve never met, but I hope we will someday.
My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
