@kmanibuso lol

@BlindGuyTech I'm guessing your wife is a beard. It's ok, you can come out...

Someone somewhere on socials suggested Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix. Just finished it. Jeez. Kleenex or other facial tissues to blubber into are required. Amazing film.

@kmanibuso That must be what it is then. I’ll issue divorce proceedings, leave my wife and family, move to a new town and find love with a man even though i’m not really gay but because some twat on X told me so. Grow up.

@BlindGuyTech If you're a guy and you liked this movie, you absolutely have to be gay. You cried, straight guys laughed at this. Sappy, syrupy, terrible plot and terrible acting, especially by the nepo baby.

As it is Victoria Day in Canada on Monday 18th May there will be no new episode of Double Tap. We are back on Tuesday! Happy long weekend everyone!

@_lopopolo About to test in the next week. As a blind user I look forward to giving you some hopefully useful feedback.

Since code is free now, how do all the AI products compare on things like WCAG, tabindex behavior, screen reader support, and a11y generally?

@shaner528 Well good for you. The only way we are ever able to get through to people is to engage. Running off into comfortable corners won’t solve anything - except create deeper and more toxic division.

I’m coming back to X even though this is where The Ableists reside. I will infiltrate their hordes and spoil their evil plots from within. While I’ve been away my facial hair has started to blossom. I’m ready to fight.

@stephenrobles I’ve still got my Pixel Slate which was the nicest tablet/Surface Pro type device I’d ever used. Wonder if it’ll run this?!

I actually had a PixelBook back in the day and loved the hardware. Won't replace a Mac, but some features of "Gemini Intelligence" are pretty wild, like asking to make a custom widget 👀

Spoke to the wonderful @willguyatt today to discuss the departure of Apple CEO Tim Cook, and what it might mean for the company’s future. Watch here: doubletaponair.com/apple-ceo-tim-…

Be My Eyes’ users have reported concerns after it was found that some volunteers were posting videos of their interactions with blind users of the app on to social media. Mike Buckley from Be My Eyes talks to us on Wednesday to discuss.

Breaking: Tim Cook steps down as Apple CEO. Read his letter here: apple.com/community-lett…

@joedevon @darryl_adams @edsummersnc Sounds like a plan. A major geek out is required!

@BlindGuyTech I was just telling Ben you had an episode on OpenClaw. I put it on in the BG the other day. So cool you're vibe coding now! You should have @darryl_adams and @edsummersnc on the show to tell you what they're up to. Some very cool stuff.

This genuinely looks impressive, but as usual, Anthropic doesn't seem to put much effort into accessibility. I clicked through to the landing page and took a screenshot, passed it into Claude Desktop for an opinion on the color contrast, in Claude's own words: 'One meta-note since this is a Claude/Anthropic product: given the "Research Preview" label, this is probably the right moment to flag contrast issues upstream. A brand new design tool shipping with a failing primary CTA in its disabled state is exactly the kind of thing that sets a bad precedent for what gets built with it.'

@stephenrobles @reneritchie Absolutely not! I’m doing 7 hour long episodes a week on YouTube and podcast. It’s too much fun!

Be honest, is releasing a new long-form video every day for 4 days... too much?? @reneritchie

@carlralley I have never felt more connected to the radio world thanks to this post! I thought that was just something I did!

A blind accessibility specialist from Estonia has developed a real-time, accessible dashboard for the Artemis II mission. Jakob Rosin explained that the tool was built using AI and publicly available space data. Read more and watch/listen now: doubletaponair.com/accessible-art…

@tayarndt So happy for you. You’ll love it. I have the Studio maxed out and it’s amazing. Although my little Neo is lovely too.

I’m getting the new M5 Max with 64 GB of RAM, priced at about $4,600, and I honestly can’t wait. I wanted 128 GB, but I just couldn’t justify spending another $1,000 for it. If you were buying a new Mac right now, what would you get? #Apple #Mac #MacBookPro

For fans and followers of the #Artemis launch and flight you might wonder how to follow along if you’re blind. On today’s show we meet @jakobrosin who has created an accessible way to track the incredible journey. Listen and watch on podcast and YouTube.

@grayshurz If you have Paramount plus I’d recommend Landman. My wife and I are hooked.

I need a Netflix series so addictive that I completely forget the outside world exists. Hit me with your best recommendations

Program note: Double Tap is not on air today or over the weekend as we take a little break but we will be back on Monday 6th April. Have a great weekend!
