I just posted a LinkedIn post about doing #accessibility for ... y'know .. the actual people affected rather than making those the secondary focus below compliance, metrics and dashboards. The comparison of playing a piano with a clipboard may have been made.
If a few managerial staff spontaneously combust in a fit of self-righteous corporate rage because of this, I'm very sorry.
ahh and the first comment is from a lead technical recruiter from Australia, who works for a renowned US-based contracting agency and asks me to send my resume to a gMail account with a different name on it for a "confidential review". Of course the shortlist is being made RIGHT NOW, and when I look at the profile the supposed lead recruiter has 0 followers and is spamming similar comments on random people's posts all within the last half an hour. Very legit-looking stuff here, I almost fell for it.
@zersiax I wrote this article to highlight that I know how you feel
Performative vs Incremental vs Transformational DEI I think is similar to your Accessibility comment.

Jul 30, 2026, 10:48 AM@zersiax sadly I feel you need both... to balance the reality out... it's not a 1 or the other...
@JStark oh you absolutely do, you just wouldn't think so given how little the people aspect gets the attention it deserves these days. We comply so we don't get sued, but a lot of companies seem to not realize, or forget, that people sue because they get stuck or can't complete an action. Make people happy, your chance at a lawsuit goes way down. Of course that leaves room for the ADA trolls but that's a different discussion
Jul 30, 2026, 10:56 AM@zersiax sure... I see that... although there are just as many entitled assholes in the disability community as in any other population... and complaint driven solutions are never the solution... ... but also user testing can never get every disability scenerio... so you need a multi pronged approach...
Jul 30, 2026, 11:16 AM@zersiax The only real professional recruiting message I ever got (someone actually read my profile and mentioned an unusual thing from it) was from Palantir. :blobfoxannoyed:
@zersiax LinkedIn is something’ else.
