WCAG 3 will use a new color contrast method called APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm).
It's a big improvement over the current system but there are a lot of changes to get your head around.

🧵 Disabled Buttons Checklist. Everything to know when building or designing one. Article coming up shortly on @smashingmag.
01 — Do we need the button to be disabled by default (e.g. item is unavailable)?
02 — If not, can we keep it enabled and validate user input on submit?
ALT Usually buttons are disabled because the interface requires user’s input. A wonderful interface of the Swedish public transportation website with a disabled button that becomes accessible once a selection is made. https://www.sj.se

Interested in functional analyses of microbes? We combined FISH & Stimulated #Raman Spectroscopy for high-throughput next generation single-cell stable-isotope probing (#SIP) and used it for studying mucosal sugar degradation in the human gut microbiome

💡Have you ever wondered why the WCAG colour contrast ratio doesn't always seem to work?💡
Well it actually has to do with how we calculate colour contrast and is super interesting.

Ok, es geht noch dümmer.
Nein, ich ziehe mich nicht „überraschend aus der ZiB2 zurück“, ich mache Urlaub. Wie jeden Sommer mal.
Ist euch der Unsinn, den ihr zusammenfantasiert, nicht selber zu albern, ihr „Selberdenker“?

Was man aus einem seit zig Monaten geplanten Urlaub machen kann, wenn das Sommerloch zu tief wird…
Ist euch sehr fad, @coistric?

Wer hat's erfunden?
Die Schweizer! 🇨🇭
Passt auch zur Österreichischen „Grünen Pass“-App: github.com/admin-ch/CovidCer…
Wir freuen uns, dass Österreich bei der Realisierung der Apps zum Grünen Pass den quelloffenen Code des Schweizer Covid-Zertifikats genutzt hat. Merci für die seit langem gute #Zusammenarbeit @brz_gmbh @mar_k_aiser. @BAG_OFSP_UFSP #opensource #COVID19

Hiring for "cultural fit" leads to monoculture. From ecology we know about its weakness. To build stronger and smarter teams try hiring for "culture add" instead. Inclusion matters. forbes.com/sites/davidrock/2…

Eine junge Ärztin beobachtet positiven Effekt von Budesonid bei COVID Patient*innen im Ambulanten Bereich. Statt mit ihr zusammenzuarbeiten, zieht es AstraZeneca vor, sie zu ignorieren. Ach so, ist kein Mann. Alles klar.

Ich bin für eine neue Impfprio:
Alle die seit einem Jahr zuhause sitzen, Freunde und Familie nicht mehr treffen, überall FFP2 tragen und sich auch sonst an die Regeln halten, sollten sich sofort impfen lassen können.
Sollen sich diese Honks doch dann durchseuchen #DarwinAward – at Stuttgart, Germany
