Great talk by @tante at #rp24 about "Empty Innovation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ksU67EW6I

Reminds me a lot of the "What's your favorite tech innovation? Illegal cab company, Illegal hotel chain, fake money for criminals or plagiarism machine" thing.

The point on how we've removed the "chaos" about thinking about our future and replaced it by "order" also strikes me as relevant to the deathcult of metrics we see everywhere. Lots to think about!

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

made a ceramic charm of my name stamp and stored my website in it so I can "give" people my website by tapping their phones with my stamp.

#ParisWeb If you are curious about ARIA and accessibility, here are @hdv’s great slides on "ARIA, the good parts" and what you can use ARIA for https://talks.hiddedevries.nl/hDiDOG/aria-the-good-parts

In this talk, we’ll look at practical examples of effective ARIA usage and how they work in assistive technologies. Find out more about the patterns that have broad support and which ones to avoid. Let’s look at ARIA, the good parts!
