If you back something on @Kickstarter and when it finally arrives it’s broken, what options do you have? I’ve reached out to the creator and did everything they asked, sending videos of it not working etc, and now they’re just ignoring me 😅 #Kickstarter
A photo I took of the Red Footed Falcon that recently visited Northumberland.

I think I just found the exact moment I got into accessibility. A tweet in January 2016, after a talk by @dugboticus at GDS in Holborn. Man do you have a lot to answer for. 😆
Hey @accessibleweb, on this GOVUK Guidance it mentions both @GDSTeam and CDDO in the monitoring section. It’s not clear who is the monitoring and reporting body anymore. Has there there been a reshuffle of responsibility? Or is it a typo? gov.uk/guidance/accessibilit…
I've just pushed version 1.5.0 of WCAGify and it has been updated to use WCAG 2.2.

Yesterday we got #WCAG 2.2 and 9 new criteria.
Under the Public Sector Bodies #Accessibility Regulations, you need to work to the latest version to be compliant, so I've written a blog post on what #WCAG22 might mean for you!

Woohoo! Finally, we have WCAG 2.2. Grace period for transition will likely start from today, with monitoring and reporting against UK Public Sector Bodies kicking in from October 2024.

I was a super early backer on the RollingSquare #AirCard. They didn’t send it out for some reason, then after lots of back and fourth and lots more waiting it finally arrived a year later, and it won’t turn on. My advice, stick to official air tags 😅 this is a piece of junk.

Genuinely heartbroken. 💔

I've been testing #ChatGPT against the "worlds most inaccessible webpage" by @accessibleweb and @GDSTeam. It's been interesting trying to use it as an accessibility testing tool. I'll write up the results in full at some point, but here is a little thread on my findings. #a11y
#ChatGPT is better at short technical questions. For example, "How can I make the following button accessible" followed by a small amount of code. It is less reliable when asked to do reports on large amounts of content, where it tends to default back to writing general guidance.
My final thoughts on #ChatGPT as an accessibility testing tool, is that it's not very good. It's better at helping you to write code than to find problems later. It's primary feature is to parse text, so if your test cases contain clues it will look better than it actually is.
