    I have no interest in boxing, but wow that was incredible television. That will go down in Irish history, and such an incredibly beautiful moment for Ireland as a country. Katie earned her legacy tonight, in front of 83,000 people at Croke Park, and millions watching on RTÉ and DAZN around the world. It’s scary to think of the fireworks budget alone. What a moment. #KatieTaylor

    RE: https://techhub.social/@AiraVI/116376143103199711 Thank you so much for joining us folks, always fun to get a peak behind the scenes. Perhaps we’ll have some access locations in Ireland next time we get to chat.

    Who thought mid role ads during music on YouTube was a good idea? You’re listening to a song, it randomly goes silent and a few seconds later you get a block of ads. That’s crazy behaviour.

    Did you know RTÉ has launched a dedicated Irish sign language channel called RTÉ ISL? The new channel is now available to stream live 24/7 on RTÉ Player. This isn’t relevant to me directly, but I find innovations like this incredibly exciting. Well done RTÉ. Hopefully in time services like ISL and audio description can be given some serious resources to make these kinds of things sustainable.

    One of my core beliefs has always been that media and content can be used to educate and share experiences with the world. Few people have embodied that philosophy like David Attenborough, who turned 100 yesterday. Truly one of the greatest public service broadcasters we’ve seen. Hopefully, we’ll see quality edutainment content being created long into the future. Happy 100th birthday, David Attenborough.🎉

    RE: https://mastodon.online/@AppleVis/116636746730227458 A friend of mine started a new job today and is frustrated with some of the Google products involved on Mac using VoiceOver. They are usable but certainly not enjoyable. Anyone have any advice? AppleVis really is brilliant for stuff like this.

    Anyone have any feedback on the most accessible petition platform? The good fight needs a bit of fighting.

    Glide isn’t coming to Europe for the foreseeable future, and all European customers are being refunded. This news has disappointed many, so we caught up with the CEO of Glidance, Amos Millar, to ask what’s going on. Talking Technology episode 93 is out now, https://youtu.be/npP87v_x_V4?si=fIdu83KrfAL56Uy3
