Propellant. — ethanmarcotte.com We cannot separate the everyday use of “AI” platforms from their use in death and war.

“These tools, and the companies that manufacture them, have tremendous costs — to our labor, to our environment, to our futures. And as we’ve been seeing, those costs also include actual human lives.”

Good and important read by @ethanmarcotte.com.

It costs $0.00 to uninstall that Big Tech browser you’ve always used and switch to a European browser that has no AI and doesn’t collect your data. 🫶🏻

I'm not on X as much as before. I'm ok <3 thanks for checking!

Saw this bsky.app/profile/deve... right before I saw your post :D and was thinking "is this a good thing or a bad thing?" that you can prevent color adjustments 😅 I hope you'll write a case study when you're done ☺️

I'm looking forward to it ☺️

I think I will ☺️ The main idea of the presentation is to talk about the things HTML (sometimes combined with CSS) offers that don't require us to use JS anymore.

And it will be my first time!

📣 The (second) cat is out of the bag 🐱💼

I'm happy to announce that I'll be speaking at @jsheroes.io this year 🥳 bsky.app/profile/jshe...

📅 May 14th–15th in Cluj-Napoca, Romania

I'm excited to give a talk about Web Standards, specifically about some of the awesome capabilities of #HTML ✨

Oh thank you thank you!

Yup ☺️

Parallels is one of my favorite investments. Glad you're enjoying it too.

Sure but I can't ask my workshop attendees that

I use Parallels Desktop and it's honestly well worth the investment. But I'm looking for a variety of accessible options to recommend to workshop attendees who don't yet test on Windows and who want a way to start quickly and, preferably, not costly.

#lazyWeb Friends on macOS, what is your favorite tool for testing your work using a Windows screen reader?

Do you use a Virtual Machine (VM)? If so, what do you use to run it? Do you use an online tool like @assistivlabs.com ? Bonus points for free tools!

It's one of my favorite documents 🙌

Btw These mappings talk about which roles elements map to but they don't include other things like other properties associated with the element, which is what I thought you were after?

Yes that's what I reference in my teaching. There's also the Core API mappings that are more browser-oriented but contain useful information if you're curious enough to dive in.

Well said

Eric, is there an RSS feed for the ZeroHeight blog? I can't find one on the site and my RSS reader is unable to find one either. 🥲

Been thinking about the Web platform & it's pretty incredible what #CSS can do now compared to what it did when I started in this field 14 years ago.

We went from having too little to having almost too much (if you think how many of the new features you use day to day)

Imagine where we'll go next!

Alt Text Guidelines

Have been commenting "Alt-text, please" when big accounts post images without alt-text. No one has eaten me alive - yet.

In Bluesky settings (gear icon, bottom left), click Accessibility, check the "require alt-text before posting" button and it will remind you to add it if you forget.

I finally had a chance to start the video. I didn't know it was by Sarah. I love her / her work. I'm aware of some of the issues from her writings + Github discussions (one of which she started) about handling popover dismissal when they are nested. Thanks for the two links. 🙌

I don't know of any reliable sources. I and others talk about these things when we explain these topics. My course also includes this info specifically for elements we cover in it. But no public docs like these that I know of. I use the specs + browser devtools + testing.

a screenshot from hackernews that reads "I’m sure he did a great job, but I’ve seen those things be a huge nightmare for anyone other than the irreplaceable genius code wizard who created them."

software engineering in a nutshell

Well played

💯

I believe we can't and I'm afraid it's only gonna get worse.
