Hey everyone, we're aware that players may be experiencing issues when trying to use Quick Weapon settings on Controller inputs.
The team is working on a fix and we'll provide an update when we have one.
Hello. I am probably not going to on this formerly-known-as-bird app very much because I have been dealing with very bad, very draining health issues. Back offline I go.
I hope you're all well.

“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”
One for the ages, by one of the best writers I've ever had the honor to be edited by. Horrific, but beautifully written.

The other thing I need ALL of my people to embrace is this: you cannot outperform, out accolade, out accomplish, etc., white supremacy. You cannot. It’s not a meritocracy. You’re mad because deep down, you still think it is, even if it’s unbalanced. It’s not.

To paraphrase James Baldwin, to be a writer is to witness. I wrote this on why Palestinian liberation is #DisabilityJustice

I love when people are bold with their ableism.
"I would have no problem if [building accessible websites] were only a moral obligation [...]. Legal obligations that require a developer add something frustrate me, because they essentially crush people doing things for fun."
hear me out: i don’t think that hiring Disabled people for accessibility work is always the right call.
unless they’re prepared for it, i wouldn’t want to put Disabled people into a space where no one has done work on inaccessibility or ableism. that’s a recipe for more harm.
This is one of the questions I keep battling with every day. Do we make spaces anti-ableist first, or hire Disabled people to shape what that should even look like first? I think it's probably a bit of both—but genuinely would love your take.
PSA: Accessibility mappings for <summary> are broken in Safari as of at least version 17 (can't test earlier at the moment).
- MacOS: VoiceOver doesn't report changes in state of <summary> when you toggle it
- iOS: VoiceOver doesn't report *any* semantics or state changes.
1/2
And I know that the person who uses Safari/VoiceOver doesn't care who is at fault. They get a broken experience either way. So, in the end, it doesn't matter much.
This is pointing fingers in the wrong direction. The HTML definition is not to blame, but the implementation that Safari/VoiceOver did of it.
These are broken with Safari with VoiceOver for me as well. Pressing VO+Space on your combobox does nothing in Safari, but works just fine in Chrome. VoiceOver only interacts with your implementation correctly when I remove role=combobox, which aligns with my other findings.
