Very nice first day of #btconf. Made it for the first time and haven't regretted it. <3
Nope, I don't think I can do Oliver Schöndorfer's talk justice.
He artfully weaved between pro and con accessibility stances (and clearly came out on the correct side, of course) - while acknowledging the troubles people have trying to understand and implement accessible design.
There was so much more to this talk, I recommend you go watch the video once it's publicised!

A couple of impression from day one at @btconf Düsseldorf 2024. Speakers today were Chris Campe, Adrienne Tacke, Oliver Schöndorfer, David de Léon, @maggie and Stefan Sagmeister.
Exhausted, but pretty happy with the results. See y'all tomorrow!
Anyone already (or still) at the HI bar? #btconf
Getting Factfulness (Hans Rosling, RIP) vibes from Stefan Sagmeister's closing talk today.
Negative stories get more traction, seem more true, sound more intelligent. They get shared more, they get more attention.
Taking the long view, life is better than it ever has been. We have great data from the last 200 years to prove it, and Stefan has made some wonderful art that represents it:

The fight for progress is working. We need to keep on fighting.
