Happy to be a tester if you find the time. My motion sickness is mostly triggered with parallax, things that bounce, but also, while playing Spyro the dragon π
It's the "I rely too much on my eyes and not enough on internal ear" type, same that makes people carsick when they read in a car.

I was told that, if you block the people behind the page, the page can't access your content. So, let's try.

Ooh snap. I wish they used the CSS media query to turn off the motion when user has the prefers motion set to reduced. I'll check later if there is a place where I can get this feedback to the team (I don't know them but there must be a contact somewhere)

Since they move on hover, my motion sickness is not triggerer. But I agree, they should be deactivated using CSS prefers reduced motion. There is something about it in WCAG 2.2, respecting motion preferences but it's AAA so none cares πππ

Also let's not forget the famous "Pussy I farted", aka, "chatte j'ai pΓ©tΓ©", when you try to say chatGPT in French, with many voice to text tools and automated translation tools (is it the animal or the slur, I let you decide).

Today's technology & language mess: Google's voice to text is censoring slur. I wanted to say DPD, in a message in French, which is a delivery company. It understood "des pΓ©dΓ©s", French homophobic slur, so of course, it censored it.
That delivery company must have many issues in French. π

I usually don't like when things move, but some of those icons have very nice little animations:
Its Hover
Animated icons that move with intent.

Another episode of LinkedIn entshitification: you can't block companies, only people.
Which means: I can't block the companies that now spam my comments with AI generated crap. Of course you can report, but, reports for spam usually don't lead to anything.
Comments are becoming such a mess it's sad

I'm tempted to add my DnD alignement at this point and giggle when it comes up in automated messages. "We are very impressed by your experience with design, neutral chaos and UX research" π€£

And, shameless plug, if you don't like Microsoft's one, you can use my accessibility and interaction documentation toolkit, that comes with a designer's comprehensive checklist, and, a A4 poster with a "Minimum accessibility baseline" A4 poster you can print for your office
Web Accessibility Toolkit for Designers (checklist A4 poster Figma/Sketch/Penpot annotation kit)
Save time when designing, auditing mockups and documenting accessibility!Many accessibility issues can be caught and avoided in the design phase. And, I want to help you with that. Great documentation...

Instagram makes billions but ignores basic video accessibility: proper closed captions, audio descriptions. Features are missing, even though Meta could easily build them. But itβs unlikely to happen until the regulatory or public pressure becomes financially too great to ignore. by Chris Yoog

Forms consist of so many parts that they're easy to get wrong. Let's dissect the text field.
