We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Why is it that all those staunch UK patriots waving flags and shouting about ‘taking back control’ are urging us to be subservient to a foreign power and join them in an illegal war?
Trump's Middle East strategy is more likely to result in regime change in America than in Iran.

Exciting! Request for developer feedback: focusgroup HTML attribute "a proposed declarative way to add keyboard arrow-key navigation to composite widgets such as toolbars, tablists, menus, listboxes, etc. Replaces hundreds of lines of JavaScript boilerplate." developer.chrome.com/blog/focusgr...
At CSUN I'll present WCAG-EM 2, a methodology to report on accessibility.
We're using WCAG-EM at scale in The Netherlands, with 100s of organisations producing 1000s of reports, somewhat reproducibly.
Attend to see how it differs from VPAT+how better evaluations help teams fix barriers faster.
answered my own question "After pressing Enter on the skip link, then pressing Tab, I would land on the “Content” button using a keyboard."
did you test without a screenreader?
Recently, someone posted on LinkedIn that skip links are often broken because their target elements are missing a `tabindex` attribute. I was really surprised to see that because I thought that was an issue of the past. That's why I decided to test it.

This x100. It’s to dangerous for me to travel. To many ways for it to go wrong & ruin my life.
It’s not worth the risk.
🙋🏽 not going to #CSUN this year as I believe it is unsafe to travel to the US under the current regime
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

This is probably not a revelation to everyone but with CSS nesting adding reduced motion support is as easy as wrapping your transition (or animation) declaration in a no-preference media query.
div {
/* css styles */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {
transition: …;
}
}
