CW: SPOILER: Quantum Leap (2022) s02e05 + disability
I'm not sure if anyone noticed it, but #QuantumLeap (2022) s02e05 showed a background character on a wheelchair working for the Quantum Leap project.
It's very rare to see #PWD (#PersonWithDisability) in episodes unless they'll be given a dialogue.
Background characters, or “extras”, don't have to be always the neurotypical or able-bodied people. We could use all the help financially, too. ^_~
In any case, I don't know the story of this scene, it could be he is part of the production team; or a big fan who happened to visit the filming set. Regardless, I do think it's a good thing they did this.

A friendly reminder to mobile app #developers, and whoever else, make the decisions for your software.
Do NOT change your app icon just because you can.
There are PWD (Person-With-Disability) who rely on an app's icon (shape, colours, etc.) in finding your app. If you regularly change it, for example, seasonal and promotions, you are making it a huge challenge, and very frustrating, for them/us.
If you really must change your app's icon:
1. Consult with the PWD community
2. Announce it first
3. Change your app's icon
4. STICK to it for years.If your icon is your logo/branding, and you changed the latter, then obviously you should also change your icon. That's fine. It's understandable.
It is also fine if you are only slightly changing it, like what Chrome loves to do. Same colours and shape, only the presentation or art was slightly changed. The icon is still recognisable.
