@caseyliss in the most recent ATP you mentioned the lip created by a screen protector. I used a glass one on my iPhone 13 Pro for about 18 months and I developed several small cuts on my right “swiping up” thumb over that time from it. That was with a case that covers the bottom! Last year when I upgraded to the 15 Pro I opted to just take the risk of a broken screen rather than having these microcuts on my thumb from time to time.
@mikahsargent this looks WILD

I wrote an op-ed for TechCrunch (it's been a while since my byline showed up there) about MrBeast's "let's cure blindness" video and how it's decidedly more ableist and altruistic.

My friends and peers in tech media may appreciate accessibility, and I think "accessibility is for everyone" gets overused without fully understand what a11y truly is, but society writ large could give two shits about disabled people like me. Hence, the desire to "cure" us.

The New York Times changed the Wordle font today. It’s now their house version of Franklin Gothic.

The original Wordle web code specified Clear Sans as the intended font — but the font file wasn’t included on the website, so nearly nobody ever saw it. Instead, iOS and Mac users saw Helvetica Neue (see screenshot, left), Windows got Arial, and Android got Roboto.

As a Helvetica enthusiast, I’m bummed, but the Times nailed the design update. [cc @gruber]
