Are you asking for every article ever to have a section discussing accessibility?

No. I’m asking that when they complain about how the modern web is “fucked” and web 1.0 was better, they don’t try to act like that is an absolute, since that’s an opinion that is not widely applicable.

No, thats just the angle that the article wanted to take. Just because it ignores an aspect of something doesn’t mean that its position is moot.

Ignoring part of a topic makes your argument weaker.

Accessibility almost always refers to disabled people, especially in web development. I’ve never heard anyone in the industry refer to accessibility in any other way, without explicitly making that clear.

If they meant the reading you took from it, that’s even worse and my point is even more pertinent.

Say you get 100 apartments out of it, you can’t run a supermarket on 100 customers.

Why does it have to be a supermarket, though? From what I’ve heard, New York City has bodegas everywhere and those are small convenience stores that have similarly sized customer bases. If the bottom floor is a small market, they have a nearly guaranteed 100 customers. And in your hypothetical commercial district, there would be more than one unused office building so more opportunity for mixed-use space.

A lot of my posts from a couple years ago have been getting comments recently, so that’s probably part of it

Yes I read that and explained why I don’t think its relevant. Facebook can’t slow down progress on the fediverse because:

1. progress is already slow. The fediverse has been in development for 15 years and still is a clunky, niche network and likely will always be less polished than large corporate networks.
2. Every developer on the fediverse is aware of the EEE playbook and next to none of them will try to remain compatible with any corporate extensions.

That looks great. What are some resources I can use to learn how to do this?

Could you update the sidebar with the github link and maybe a quick usage instruction?

Lemmy doesn't federate hashtags so they'll appear in the post on other fediverse services but they won't appear in hashtag feeds/searches.

EDIT: FYI, there's a cross-post button on lemmy. it's the button that looks like a copy button (A square overlaid and offset over another square).

Agreed. I don't want to use voice controls for anything but I agree with the OPs more general point of getting more capabilities out of fewer screens

I've heard a lot of pundits excitedly talking about using this headset to get rid of TVs in their house. I keep wondering how they think that'll go over with their families.

ah you're right. I misread the section that mentioned that and thought there wouldn't be any public post pages. Thanks for the clarification.

Modern browsers can retain your scroll position for pages in your history. But Lemmy is a SPA (Single Page App) which means it uses a Javascript framework to manage most things that the browser normally does. When you go back to the feed in Lemmy, Lemmy loads your feed and positions you at the top not the browser.

I believe the dialog element has support in all the mainline browsers now, so again, if you want to load a page in an overlay, that is something browsers can do but Lemmy has to be written to do it that way.

For sure. I've definitely decided not to start watching a Netflix show because I think it'll get canceled before wrapping up

I don't have a problem with that either, if:

1. It doesn't affect Firefox's direction (which it doesn't look to me like it does)
2. The user can remove it and provide alternatives.

The second one is in issue. Removing it is easy enough but Mozilla keeps making adding and using alternatives harder. They removed OpenSearch support so there's no way to automatically add a new search engine; you have to manually find the query url and convert it into a template string. That's a ridiculous thing to ask a user to do and exactly what OpenSearch was meant to solve. They also made it harder to use your alternative search engines, especially on mobile where you have to tap through sections of the new tab page

An extension could work, but some users won’t want to install an extension and other users can’t install them (work computer/mobile browser).
