I saw a post on X from someone who works in the productivity space who said that it's "morally repugnant" NOT to use AI. Incredible that it's becoming the norm for people to shame others and call them stupid on public platforms (someone else literally said that) for not using AI.

#lazyWeb Geeky friends, O'friendly geeks, What are the best practices for optimizing performance for self-hosted videos? Say someone* wants to ditch third-party services like Vimeo/Youtube and self-host their videos without compromising page #performance Are there any guidelines and best practices?

I hate footnotes, and hopefully by the end of this, you will too.

— in which @npub1dpjj...e0jl discusses why you should ditch footnotes on the web, and suggests more appropriate alternatives. My choice is both <aside role="note"> and the <details> disclosure widget. The choice depends on how long and how tangential the aside is.

I'm curious: When someone asks you, "why does accessibility matter?" or "why is accessibility so important?", what do you usually answer? P.S. I might quote your response in a post or discussion.

Periodic reminder that "wrapping the <label> around the <input> is fine, and is sufficient for conformance on its own, however adding explicit association with` for` and `id` is still necessary in practice." Details:

Should form labels be wrapped or separate? - Vispero

Is it strictly necessary for form fields and labels to have for/id association, or is it enough to wrap the label around the input?

— "Both Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows, and Voice Control for macOS and iOS, don’t recognize implicit association, so the Click email address command wouldn’t work." @npub15yr2...pa64 #a11y #HTML

Google a product. Find it on a website. Buy, or don't buy a product—just stay long enough on the website to indicate interest. Open Instagram. All sponsored posts are about that product and similar ones. I hate Google and Meta.
