@webology I’ve been using ULID on several projects and it’s quite nice. Happy to see that concept as a standard.

Seeing some discussion about iOS 17’s Safari Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection feature.

Is there any documentation on what this actually does, practically speaking?

d,

@zachleat
From the reading I’ve done (including that Matamo article) it looks like tracking parameters aren’t effected unless they look like they’re tracking a single person. I did some experiments early on in the betas and that seemed true. I need to research more now that the real thing is live.

d,

@zachleat uuid looking stuff is a pretty easy tip off

d,

@zachleat
Me too. I have a feeling this will either be very targeted (Facebook and Google specific parameters) which will probably mean lawsuits; or timid enough it doesn’t do much.

How can anyone agree with Carl? I agree that TOML is better than YAML. And JSON is a better choice overall. But XML sucks unless it is strictly being used as something you use as a converter. I refuse to write straight XML. https://changelog.social/@gotime/111098085461260473

Reminder: self-host your scripts rather than using JavaScript CDNs like jsdelivr or unpkg

https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/why-not-javascript-cdn

d,

@sabderemane @adamchainz @webology
Correct. The style attribute should be avoided. And certainly shouldn’t be used instead of width and height. Browsers use those to determine aspect ratio and prevent content jumping around as images load.

d,

@greg @webology @sabderemane @adamchainz
The error message is pretty clear. It’s the inline style attribute, not a cdn issue. That would say which domain was being blocked.

d,

@greg @webology @sabderemane @adamchainz
Ahh, my apologies then

d,

@webology @greg looks like there’s an script tag with inline content instead of a src.

d,

@webology
Just reading through https://htmx.org/docs/#security it looks like they do use inline scripts. There’s an option to add a CSP nonce to them, but you would need to generate that on the server with every request and add it to the policy directives.

I’ve got some middleware that does this if you want it.

d,

@webology
I’ll get you a copy when I’m back at my desk tomorrow. It’s been in production on Prideraiser.org for years with a full test suite I’ll share as well.

Even pros mess up, I spent far more time than I’d like to admit today assuming I had an issue with the new JS static site generator I was trying. The new page I added wasn’t showing up. I hadn’t exposed my local file system in the Docker container, so it wasn’t seeing my updates! So many layers to the onion of tech we use it’s easy to forget or misconfigure one.

d,

@frank I spent 20 minutes today trying to figure out why a new css rule wasn’t working. I was missing the “t” in “outline” in the class name.

d,

@frank witchcraft! I did clean my glasses to see if that would help.

Lenovo website.

I tried setting a password (generated using 1password) based on the specification. The password definitely has uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, but the website validator wouldn't let me proceed.

After feeling frustrated, trying for more than 10 minutes, and also involving my husband to try it, we finally figured out the problem.

Before I reveal the solution, does anyone wanna guess why the form validator didn't work?

🤕

d,

@mariatta
I’ve run into similar because it doesn’t catch the last character when 1Password pastes in. But I don’t think it’s that in this case.

Unless the special character wasn’t in the acceptable list, I have no idea.

d,

@mariatta ridiculous

Just went to turn off the new Chrome privacy-invasive ad stuff. They were all unchecked for me already.

Did I turn them off in advance? Was that possible?

Or since my Chrome is managed by a Google Workspaces account with Adavanced Protection on did they disable the tracking?

d,

@thisismissem so if they’re disabling them for Advanced Protection accounts, that’s even more damning

I will miss TextMate forever. I will never love any text editor as much as I loved TextMate. It’s that one true love sort of thing, you know? You can’t always keep it but you’ll always pine for it because when it was good, it was perfect. TextMate is the app I have loved most and the app I will miss forever. https://ruby.social/@collin/111032089994534693

If you're a Mac user who has always used Chrome because somebody told you to, may I suggest you switch to Safari? It's a great browser, and Apple has (thus far) zero incentive to track or monetize your use of the web.

d,

@danielpunkass
I have to use Chrome as I develop websites and I would never use it for anything else

research: if you use a grid system of any kind, do you use "offset" columns? In other words, the ability to skip a grid column to position a grid item?

d,

@5t3ph I think anytime I’ve had something where this might apply I’ve gone with grid-template-areas instead.

Doing a touch of research at the moment on media queries and container queries.

Other than layout and sizing, how do you find them useful?

Bonus points for examples.

Will use prefers-reduced-data to turn off web fonts and high dpi images when it ships. Currently detecting the Save-Data header server side and adding an attribute to the html tag for this.
