I'm thinking about hosting meetups in my office. I have a 30m² room that can fit ~15 people. All I need is a projector. Can you recommend a device that provides good quality but isn't too expensive?

I'm trying to audit a website but all I can do is stare at fucking loading spinner because there's something wrong with the JavaScript.

Using client-site rendering for a regular non-application like website is a sign of incompetence because you don't know what's best for your users.

A heading (h1) with the accessible name “B” because

“If an element has global WAI-ARIA states or properties, user agents MUST ignore the presentation role and expose the element with its implicit role. ”

My entire April and May are packed, but if I had the time, I would attend this workshop by @mia ! Sounds super interesting!

“Take your sites to the next level with this 3-session workshop on building more resilient and maintainable web layouts using modern CSS.”

I just tried to reset my discord password and I got this. The first image is the visual captcha challenge and the second image is the text alternative.

Who on earth believes that are appropriate challenges? For the first you need perfect eye-sight and dexterity, for the second a degree.
I hate CAPTCHA so much.

Trying to get my Twitter account unlocked once again so that I can finally delete it. 🤞

omg they actually unlocked it. So, what should I do? Delete it or leave it as is? Why haven't some of you deleted theirs? Because of the content that will be lost? Because others may take over your handle? I strongly lean towards deleting because I don't care about any of these reasons.

I saw one of these (Fiat Topolino) in Italy and immediately fell in love. It's fully electric, max. speed 45 km/h and you're allowed to drive it at age 15 with a moped driver's license. 😍

We seriously need to talk more about the practical negative implications of accessibility overlays. It's unbelievable how badly they work. We must educate people and display bad examples publicly. People don't know what they're getting for their money.

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!
