I'm truly hoping that the palliative care model will start beginning to grow it's a very low number of practitioners who are formally trained versus a large population the second most large in the world the baby boomers who are now dying andmmlk6kj8

It's real health care. Patient centric, focus on quality not quantity, and all at home. I would have been eligible for this kind of care a long time ago but it just wasn't there yet, I hope it grows and we need to advocate for it because it's so dignified.

I've been in palliative care now for 2 weeks and it has been liberating absolutely something and all the years of very serious medical problems I have never witnessed or experienced. It may sound like death and dying but palliative care is about living. youtube.com/BI-CnsKyOuk

Any interface how we have come 30 some odd years with understanding and studying UI and ux and not making much advances that show up in real time use is driving me crazy every app is different every site is a pain in the ass to use if I can use them at all they're not consistent.

Yes I hear my pronounce you the software bug whisperer just don't try to apply to companies because they'll probably fire you within a few weeks not because of any reason just cuz it is popular to do so these days hahaha

If you could change one thing about the web right now either as a user or a person who works with it everyday what would it be?

Even I a big mouth obnoxious woman who won't give it a rest has more dignity than that at least I believe so for I did my very best and I will continue to make the effort as long as I am able no matter what it takes I can't leave a dream so important and so freely gifted.

The problem I see now is the barrier to entry we wanted to make it easy it should have been declarative not functional l. Is short-term gain so very important that it can override long-term vision. All still exist we can course correct. Laying off your best abusing employees?

The work done by Vint Cerf, Al Gore and Sir Tim Berners-Lee do you ever think about what it took totake a USA military project, give it to citizens for free, to progress it, to build collaborative open ideals that could be used to better collaborate, communicate not to destroy.

I had full disability by 21 the web was my entrance into a better world a better life and I was able to travel and so much joy has come from those days but they are limited in time and reality and there are so many people far worse off in this world I fear deeply for them.

It's a tragedy that something like covid has had to teach us about human isolation and what it can do to a person who is used to social interaction. not totally our fault I know it's partly the lack of education and resources and a desire for short-term profits over humanity.

Are we software engineers or web developers, who collaborate interoperably, do not worsen a conditiom. assume there's no digital divide. My technology is not privileged .my user needs are noI by üßut close to destruction. This isw the majority of users everywhere

While we were able to patch our way however difficult it was through the 2000s it's no longer viable for the vast majority online nor is it affordable nor is it van with friendly nor are many of us able to manage Authentication. In fact voice to text is making my condition worse.

Anything that's obfuscated or what we call an app is a software paradigm or paradigms99⁹o that do not make the world wide web,, they make software. I never did want to be an engineer I wanted to share information, collaborate, have interoperability and accessibility for all.

Since the 90s I have challenged the status quo web developers who did not want to learn markup as a language as it was irrelevant. I was also told bandwidth is abundant most people have plenty. it's not an economic hardship in most places. I knew it was wrong and yet I let it go.

Bugs have incredible rules for the most part in our ecosystem. As for software I hate it I never would have signed up for it. I'm bad at it. And usually what I'm bad at comes from lack of knowledge, lack of ability, lack of Interest but usually it's mostly because I'm bored.

the logical conclusion is that without availability there is no experience therefore accessibility and user experience may be farther apart than we think. Love to know your thoughts in English or French or any language you like 😂 I'm just so out of practice! Always a pleasure!
Replying to @ElieSl
I'm thinking a little bit meta above the technology and technique I'm thinking of what forms the basis of the concept of what accessibility means the open door the startup key the ease of driving and using the interface can never exist if I can't access it in the first place.
Replying to @ElieSl
Therefore conceptually not technically applied in good code or approaches to the practice of accessibility of any kind there is language as well as practical, if unavailable it is not accessible. Since the interface is also inside and I can't get in it too would not be accessible
