A Bit on the [geolocation] Element
A Bit on the [geolocation] Element YouTube video by CodePen

A few min on <geolocation> in HTML/CSS/JS.

1. I like how explicit it is for users & how it helps "recover" from incorrect permissions.
2. It's *super interesting* how it checks the contrast accessibility and just makes the button not work if you dink it up.

Is this mentioned on your wiki? And by wiki I mean your wiki on wiki, the largest wiki on the internet.

Oddly enough I buy more there now than when it was popular to do so. Though I also like to buy from 7digital when possible.

Because of AI, it's getting harder to be a public educator on the internet.

Devs are watching far fewer tutorials and buying fewer paid courses, making it financially tough for teachers.

If you like a creator's content and can spare some cash, find out how you can support them.

Browser window showing the browser-compat-data github repo homepage, which shows that the project now contains 20,000 commits.

The browser-compat-data project (used by MDN, caniuse, and tools) now has:

20,000 commits
1,123 contributors
465 releases
19,148 data entries

That's what comprehensive web compat data looks like.

And it takes well funded teams at @openwebdocs.org and @mozilla.org plus amazing contributors.

Is this about how a lot of folks appear to miss major plot points because they're looking at their phone while watching?

Ah that's true. I suppose when people want to remove it they use "AI" generically while adding it involves referring to the specific names.

I'm still surprised by how many people do that though. Like there's not enough AI integration already, you want to install an add-on?!

Search results for "Gemini" – Add-ons for Firefox (en-US)

I'm not so sure, I recently noticed there appear to be more people installing add-ons that add AI to websites then ones that remove AI. For example:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

I found it eye opening to learn that there appear to be more people installing Firefox add-ons to ADD gemini functionality to websites than to remove it: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

And that's Firefox!

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone β€” including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Agree 100%. The past year or two I have found some comfort regarding this by using self-hosted apps. Not a practical solution for many people sadly but there's something comforting about having SOME software made by people that believe it making it just work with no monetary incentive.
