Beware of companies promising to make sites completely accessible, compliant, and immune from lawsuits with just a few lines of code. This just isn't possible. Disabled users have long said these tools don't actually help them, and can often make things worse.

There is so much AI tools cannot do. I made this to remind me of the things AI still can’t replace: Critical thought Genuine empathy True innovation Entrepreneurial vision Emotional intelligence Ethical judgement Human intuition The future of testing will always need us thought workers.

Infographic titled "AI cannot replace these." The infographic lists eight human traits: Critical Thought, Genuine Empathy, True Innovation, Entrepreneurial Vision, Emotional Intelligence, Calculated Risk-Taking, Ethical Judgement, and Human Intuition. The design features a purple theme with high-contrast, bold white text and associated visuals for each point. Attributed to Ady Stokes.

Pls help me spread word tomorrow (Tue) 8pm on ITV I'll be talking you through how to check if you can boost your State Pension by possibly £10,000s. There is an urgent deadline coming after which many lose the opportunity. This is a must watch for anyone age 40 to 73.

MoT Software Testing Essentials Certification is here. "The thing that’s really great about finding bugs is when someone else knows and helps decide if it gets fixed or if they will fix it." — Elizabeth Zagroba.

"A digital graphic with a dark purple background, small glowing stars, and dots. White text reads: 'The thing that’s really great about finding bugs is when someone else knows and helps decide if it gets fixed or if they will fix it. — Elizabeth Zagroba.' 'Bugs' is green, 'fixed' and 'fix' are pink, and 'be' is blue. Below is 'www.ministryoftesting.com/stec' in white. A gold 'MoT Certification' badge with a stylized planet is in the bottom right."

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Friday joke for my quality folks: Why did the quality engineer get kicked out of the pirate ship? They kept saying 'BLOCKER' every time someone mentioned shipping! *adjusts quality eyepatch*

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Couple more #accessibility easy resolutions. Reduce emojis in posts, they play havoc for screen readers. Especially when they are after every word. Don’t use justified text format in documents. Justified changes the gaps (kerning) between words making it harder to read for some people.
