#AI and #MachineLearning models are shifting a number of core assumptions on which the various Web stakeholders have been relying on for years.
In this presentation at the @w3c member meeting in #Hiroshima 🇯🇵, @dontcallmeDOM reviews the systemic impact and possible mitigation the Web community should consider to ensure the long term prosperity of the #Web in the face of these changes.
"A billionaire got mad, bought your favourite social media site and ran it into the ground. A different billionaire got mad, bought the magazine site you liked to read on your lunchbreak and shut it down completely. "
> The #CSS#AnchorPositioning#API is a game-changer in #web#development because it lets you natively position elements relative to other elements, known as anchors. This API simplifies complex #layout requirements for many interface features like menus and submenus, tooltips, selects, labels, cards, settings dialogs, and many more.
Honestly, the #web is unusable without an adblocker and some form of “tweaks” app these days. Ads are one thing but all these cookie and newsletter banners and autoplay videos. I’m so happy when I find my results on pages like Wikipedia.. #frontend
Kitten now has a lovely new multi-page Settings screen and… drumroll… a new 🐢 interactive shell (REPL) for you to play with the running state of your Small Web site/app/place and debug your app, inspect/manipulate its database, etc.
I plan on recording demos of each of them tomorrow but you can play with them now.
And here’s a little tutorial to get you started with the shell:
> Be kind, be honest and engage on your own terms. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you and don't be afraid to craft a browsing experience that best suits you. A healthier web is one that's slower, friendly and serves you. Eschew things that make demands of you, insist or impose upon your time and attention.
I haven't paid attention to Netcraft's Web Server Survey, which was once a battlefield between Linux and Microsoft (namely Apache httpd vs Microsoft IIS).
Nginx took the lead from Apache in 2019. However, for the past 3 years Nginx's market share has been on a steady decline, matched by the growth of Cloudflare (10%) and "Other" (25%). Is Amazon AWS lumped with it?
Nothing is more annoying than when a website has broken form validation. Like for example when you paste something and then the pasted data is invalid but if you type it yourself, it's fine. Sometimes, adding and immediately removing a character triggers the validation but sometimes it does not. #web#frontend
The #AI-powered "Search Generative Experience (#SGE)" that the company had been trialing for months is rolling out to everyone in the #US. The top of many results (especially questions) are now dominated by an #AIBox that scrapes the #web and gives you a sometimes-correct summary without needing to click on a single result.
We have released a new library: TypoRules for #PHP 🎉
It is not actually new, as we have been working with it for years to enable outstanding #typography in our #web and #print applications. What is new is that all functionalities are now available in a bundled form and as #opensource.
Where do you guys get your design inspiration from these days? I’m especially interested in #web and #app design. I used to use Dribbble a lot in the past, but it seems to have shifted towards illustrative content and there’s just a lot to sift through before finding something in my niche. 🤔
Can we please stop making custom dropdown menus that aren't keyboard searchable? It takes eons having to manually scroll through three separate lists of date/month/year instead of just typing out the numbers on my keyboard and pressing "Tab" to switch between the three menus.
💡 La Nostra Rete è un #laboratorio per scoprire e ripensare il #Web nella sua dimensione profondamente sociale.
Attraverso esperimenti e racconti, intraprenderemo un viaggio nella storia di #Internet, immaginando insieme un futuro digitale partecipato e orizzontale, ovviamente partendo dal #Fediverso! 🚀
Sarei felice se mi aiutaste a far girare (siamo un po’ in ritardo, belin)!
SuperTXT is like Gemini, but it uses commands instead of URLs (supertxt.net)

What the $#@! is the AlterNet?...
