When the French team up with the Orca, they're going to need to fight off disaffected Americans with a stick. Or the baguette that's always in their shopping bag, maybe.
As a CPAP user, I both appreciate that the president is normalizing having CPAP face marks and disdain publications using it as evidence that Biden is infirm. Using a CPAP makes you *less* infirm, idiots.
@thomasfuchs I take solace in the fact that that "outstanding feature" was only available for the very few people Twitter thought "deserved" it. It could never scale, and could never be applied fairly, so I believe it deserved to die 🤷
@thomasfuchs I think you're missing my point: you know which option you're selecting with your finger because it is literally sitting on the option you've selected. Safari on the AVO uses hover effects to show you what you're going to select, they're just far, far more subtle than the hover styling that the person who designed the site created. You can design a perfect accessible hover and Safari on AVO will just ignore it and use its own insufficient hover style. That's people's complaint.
@thomasfuchs right, but on tablets you have a finger to touch things with. If your only interface is looking at something, I understand the concern about not following standard hover rules/guidelines 🤷
In this case, I think it's less people being weird and more people trying to keep accessibility a thing. (Whether people with visual impairments are intendeding to purchase and use a purely visual device is a whole other story.)
People talking about Safari on the Apple Vision One not properly handling :hover (to prevent sites and apps from measuring where you're looking for nefarious purposes) reminds me of the time I discovered I could make a page with a bunch of links on it and query the color of each link to figure out which sites your visitor uses. I didn't have a use for this, but was briefly disappointed when that hole eventually got patched. Basically right away I was like "yeah, I'm glad they fixed this."
Tv gameshow where host Neil deGrasse Tyson lets people answer with their "correct" answer and then spends the remaining 21 minutes explaining that they're wrong.
@atomicpoet I would love to hear what Antennas and Clips are. I made a calckey.social account a week or so ago and was surprised to see stuff that didn't tell you what it does. Felt a bit like logging into the AWS dashboard and seeing stuff like "Route 53" instead of "DNS."
Spent the morning trying to come up with a The Register style headline about this hot current events story. Thanks to everyone who helped, it's finally complete:
@thomasfuchs worse, the only way I was able to figure that out was noticing a teeny tiny red X at the root level of the repo in GitHub's UI where this green checkmark is now.
@thomasfuchs turns out that they changed how deployment works at some point. Composer (ugh, don't get me started) made itself some symlinks inside the vendor folder, and deployment to Pages was being aborted. But the repo hasn't changed in years and that symlink thing was never a problem before...
GitHub Pages is so cool. You know what would be even cooler, though? If it worked :( I'm a couple hours into waiting for the GitHub Page to match the index.html in the repo. I guess I'll check again tomorrow.
