There's a lot of cognitive overhead keeping track of simple things.
For example: "If I press Enter here, will it send this message or will it create a new line?"
Yes, I did just send a message prematurely because of this.

It’s been a while, but I busted out Chewie and Lando for today’s performance at #DF23
Understanding Salesforce GenAI and Accessibility.
ALT My socks. Lando on my right foot and Chewie on my left.

Wow don’t ever post a thing asking for help with accounts. Instant overwhelm of bots and scams trying to trick me. Sheesh

I'm need some inspiration to write more things about accessibility and inclusive design.
What, if anything, would you love to learn more of from me? (If you don't have specific ideas, but generally want to learn, give this a like, and I'll take it as general inspo to share!)

With sincerest appreciation, to all my author friends whose books I’ve purchased over the years…
I’m donating almost all of the books to a local library and/or thrift store in hopes that they’ll have a new life.

With or without owning the books, I can say those things, have supported you, and have those memories (at least for now - who knows what aging will bring?)
Time to say goodbye to the books but wow is this making me want to meet up with people and just… talk.

Sadly I won’t be able to chat with some of the authors as they’ve passed away.

Also, it has been a while since I've been on here, and even longer since I wrote a thread.
I felt very out of practice writing that thread!
Glad to know there are people still here interested in these things :)

Had a discussion today around video and what it means to make that content accessible. Thoughts in a 🧵
Yes, we need captions. Real ones. Not craptions (👋 @merylkevans)

I've experienced working with people using screen readers before and they're done the transcript before the video is even ¼ of the way done playing.
That screenplay might become the medium of choice for some people because they can get through it much quicker.

In closing:
Doing accessibility well isn't merely about meeting technical requirements. Doing it well includes understanding people's goals and what they're trying to accomplish, and aiming to facilitate that.
