AuDHD, Deaf, Coder, web accessibility. Swear lord by default. Nerd / geek by nature. Love mechanical keyboards. Often do hot takes.
Round corners diabolical nightmare continues in macOS 26 and look at web inspector at the bottom left where the command line is. Apple is not understanding the impact of this.

This is an absolute shambles of a design. How did Apple managed to think this is “cool” yet doesn’t relay the message that it’s hard to visualise?

Cleaning the contacts on the Sega Master System cards definitely works a treat. Then decided to do the rest of the game cartridges to improve reliability.

Currently testing out a Sofle v2 keyboard. My WPM (words per minute) dropped down between 16 to 35. It’s a shock to the muscle memory and where I was aligning my fingers on the keys.

Daring Fireball still looks the same for a couple of decades (if that) now.

All it needs to do is to go responsive with decent text sizes. I don’t want to tap to zoom, I don’t want to go into reader mode.

I just want to _read_.

Found this mix on my Apple Music - must have been uploaded back in the day when iCloud music was available.

It’s a damn good mix and it’s from 20 years ago. 😳

Siri doesn’t know how to turn off my Apple TV for the first time. This is absolutely wild to see to go and search the web for it.

Dug into my old tweets and found this popular one.

Interesting timeline of Streets of Rage via Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streets....

Going to expand on this. It has been five years since SoR 4 was launched and now there are rumours of another SoR game. Who knows!

Sorry no, this is not acceptable. The BBC didn’t listen to reports and then Gregg blaming his neurodiversity condition?

This is horrible for the neurodiversity community. Now we have to come out fighting to correct these people who will think we are all the same.

Sorry. I’m so MAD at this shit.

My copy of ZX Nightmares turned up. Thanks @lordarse.bsky.social and Graeme Mason!

Accessibility done right by Apple’s podcast. Transcript is available including following along too.

My original tape from the 80s thanks you.

The blue dot notification icon is definitely blurry to me.

Trying not to think of Conversation Street from The Grand Tour 😂

If you think that Threads is “good” - think again. Check out app privacy on App Store.

Nope.

Bluesky taking up a bit of my time today.

Delicious.

Made this years ago… hot take.

This. Every day.

I’m sticking to HTML/CSS/JS. Obviously TypeScript and HTMX into the mix as well.

And python… I like python a lot.

Deleted Facebook, instagram, and threads apps due to the incredibly “can I have all your data” nightmare. They are only accessed via the browser from now on.
