If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a fucking nazi salute and not a nazi salute-like gesture or an unfortunate arm movement.

For everyone still on X: You're supporting a person that openly supports the far right German AFD and does the nazi salute on TV. Congratulations!

I wrote only 10 blog posts last year. I mean, I know why, but that low number surprised me nevertheless.

@aral Well, then I'll try to make it happen. ;)

Writing good talk descriptions is hard.

What do you think about this idea for a talk?

“Some new features in CSS only show their real potential when we radically break with old habits. Doing that on an existing website is almost impossible. That's why Manuel built a new project from scratch with modern CSS and questioned every line of code he wrote.
In this talk, he presents what he has learned and encourages you to review your best practices.”

Kid: Dad, what do you do at work?

Me: I charge 150 Euro per hour to explain people that this is not high-quality code.

In light of current events: Remember, a <p> is not a <button>!

An autoplaying carousel with a live region. AAAAHHH! 😱😭

It's December 1st, and you know what that means: For the next 24 days, we'll publish articles about HTML by 24 authors. You can read them on the website or subscribe to the RSS channel.

Enjoy!

“If it's not ready for everyone, it's not ready for anyone.”

Just heard this sentence in a presentation and I like it!

My talk “Color in CSS Or How I Learned To Disrespect Tennis” at @btconf 2024 in Berlin is already online. 😍 #btconf

Last week, I was lucky to attend and speak at @btconf in Berlin. I met many friends I hadn't seen in a while and people I've known from social media but have never met before.

Once again, the talks were informative, inspiring, and funny. Marc Thiele nailed the organization and curation of the event, as always. If you've never attended, you definitely should. The next event is in Düsseldorf in May.

“13.3% of home pages had a "skip" link present, down from 17.2% in 2023. One out of every 10 "skip" links were broken”.

That's a massive drop. Interesting!

Get the fuck off Twitter. What the hell are you still doing there? Every single like, retweet, and post supports them and their hateful behavior.
