Do you use tab to move to the Cancel button in dialogue boxes? I believe they took that away by default in MacOS, but I found out I could re-enable it through the Keyboard System Settings and checking the toggle for "keyboard navigation" to move focus between controls.#askupgrade
#askupgrade I’m seeing calls for people who menstruate to delete their cycle tracking apps in light of the SCOTUS’ overturning of Roe, as people fear that states may seek that data to prosecute those who’ve had abortions. Isn’t the Cycle Tracker safe? What about other apps?

Continuing to dig into the Latin American materials revamp. I've now gotten interviews & practice sentence readings with someone from all of the Spanish speaking countries in the Western Hemisphere. Grateful for all of those conversations & my growing Spanish vocabulary!

iPad autocorrect keeps changing ‘s into ‘S. So most (but not all) possessives or contractions of “is” get capitalized. I’ve deleted the dictionary, and it’s STILL doing it. What can I do? I’m so frustrated! #askupgrade
great job Luke—your deft use of examples is excellent! So much fun

Thinking about this today, having done a "land acknowledgement" at the start of a show on the weekend, and really wishing I'd addressed more than that—beginning to outline what reconciliation requires. This video makes some great points.
What is reconciliation? "Hiring more indigenous people is not reconciliation. Having more art work in offices is not reconciliation - we should already be doing these things"@Pam_Palmater @cblackst eddyrobinson @tvo tvo.org/video/what-is-…
#snelltalk If Jason was a spy, and had to sabotage one piece of Myke’s set up in some way, what would he do first, and how would he do it? @_upgradefm
#askupgrade I was really taken with the design of the Keynote slides at the last Apple Education event. Will this be the new way forward for Apple, having a graphic design that is outside the typical Keynote Templates they’ve used in the past, or just a one off?
