[30 years later] They called this guy “Piston Honda"? Really?

@waldoj hmmmm…

@ross @waldoj Yep, his original name from the arcade game.

I'm stuck on an question, if anybody has any concrete advice.

I have a background video. According to WCAG 2.2…

  • SC 2.2.2 indicates that there should be a means to pause moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating information

  • SC 1.2.1 indicates that there should be an alternative or audio for video

Assuming the only "information" in the video is just vibe setting, is anything really required here beyond a text description? Am I missing anything?

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

@aardrian @cwilcox808 Thank you so much. I forgot to mention “and a pause button”, but the scenario you bring up was exactly what I was considering as the complicating factor.

Is aria-describedby pointing to an alternative in some adjacent div the right approach, or is there a better way of referencing the description?

deeply fucked up that Apple doesn't still sell these puppies

these things are so damn reliable

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

@tvaziri I dropped whatever device I last had that used them, and it landed exactly right to slightly bend the jack so that it would only provide audio out of one side at a time. I've been bummed ever since because they really were great.

iPhone 15 Pro’s been my best battery performer by a mile, damn. All MagSafe charging too pretty much

Chris,

@christianselig You’re doing better than I am, with more cycles. I have Optimized Charging turned on, and I also use MagSafe, except when traveling.I wonder what I could be doing differently.

TIL you can use your filters in computed data if you use regular functions rather than arrow functions https://illtron.net/2023/01/11ty-directory-data-filters/

Today my photo library decided to come up with an “Art” category. As far as I can tell, very little of it is really art — with the exception of this glorious portrait of John Waters from the National Portrait Gallery.

Any thoughts on infinite scroll vs button to load more vs next page buttons? In the context of a feed

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

@joelanman Overall I'm mixed on infinite scrolling.

If I'm looking for something specific on the page, such as within search results, they can be a problem because I'm often trying to Command+F to find something that should be there, but just isn't yet.

For something like a feed, however, where it's just a whole lot of everything, then it's a bit better.

What’s your favorite bell pepper? And, no, they don’t all taste the same.

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

@markwyner When my wife was growing up, the local grocery store only ever had green, and to this day, she refuses to eat them. I can taste the difference with green, but not so much with the others. For some reason I prefer orange though.

In Star Wars video games, lightsabers should be exactly as powerful as they are in the movies, which includes having like a 3% chance that you'll chop off your own foot any foot any time you use it.

There’s a guy in my neighborhood who always walks around in an ermine trimmed king robe with a Batman logo on the back. Every neighborhood should have a guy like this

@hannah Are you saying he's not the actual bat-king of your neighborhood?

    Andy and I have been hand washing dishes for weeks because we don’t want to call someone to get the dishwasher fixed. Couldn’t be more millenial if we tried.

    Chris,
    @Chris@mastodon.social avatar

    @rachsmith My dishwasher broke, trapping dishes inside, on Thanksgiving Day. After a valiant effort, I determined that opening it was impossible, so I had to break it to get the dishes out. It's been nine years. Washing dishes is now my mental health time.

    Yesterday I put this new bird feeder out filled to the top with bird seed. Today that feeder is already half empty.

    Are birds okay??

    The same hanging bird feeder half full of safflower seeds and one bird sitting on it feeding.

    Chris,
    @Chris@mastodon.social avatar

    @annaecook Frankly, I’m impressed by your birds’ self-control. The tiny dinosaurs in my yard would have this emptied in a few hours.

    I have just learned that Andrew Lincoln’s daughter is named “Matilda Clutterbuck,” and it might be greatest name I’ve ever heard.

    @hotdogsladies This seems about right for Ian Anderson’s granddaughter.
