@meduz @tomayac I can see why extensions would be disabled (user might not know they're in a browser). Weird that devtools don't work (tho the same site, un-docked, in Safari would allow devtools)

Amazon: "We saw customers were spending significantly more time playing games on Luna using their web browsers than on native PC and Mac apps. When we see customers love something, we double down. We optimized the web browser experience with the full features and capabilities offered in Luna’s native desktop apps" https://9to5google.com/2023/06/05/amazon-luna-windows-pc-mac-apps/

Few things terrify a LinkTin recruiter more than "the role seems interesting, and I'm qualified for it. However, the linked job ad fails to mention the salary. What is it?".

I'm spending a couple of hours converting Birmingham City Council's Future Plan consultation document from a glossy 22mb PDF to an accessible HTML document, so cripples, paupers and those who need to use translation software can have a voice, too.

@jonoabroad oh, the expensive enterprise official website makes every effort to cater to those people.

My Turkish friend put up a FB status about the hippie boutique she owns, and Facebook's translatometer has turned it into poetry:

"Stand up. Give me all your hands I want to hold it. I will take you upon green grasses. I will wash out your pale faces with sun. There's a black moon stuck in the trees. The trees are high. OUNG. They howl at night. We'll hold the sunlight in our palms. Bride. Stand up. Stretch out your hands."

Just finished recording the next F-Word with @pepelsbey and our guest @leaverou who said (and I quote) "This was actually fun". Out soon, after editing and transcription.

I have been greatly enjoying 'Citadel', a mega-budget high-octane glossy spy series that stars Priyanka Chopra (after whom the term 'Priapic' was coined, especially for me). https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/apr/28/citadel-review-this-absurdly-fun-spy-thriller-is-televisual-crack

RIP Tina Turner. I can't remember when I first heard it (as a kid, in my dad's record collection, I suspect) but her voice on 'River Deep Mountain High' grabbed me by the balls and told me to make my own music. https://youtu.be/uj0wPrN_Y_4

11 HTML best practices for login & sign-up forms https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/html-best-practices-for-login-and-signup-forms includes the evergreen "All clickables should use button or a, not div or span". Sadly, there are people allowed within 14 miles of the front end who still need to be told this.

The Industrial Hammer Complex https://eisenbergeffect.medium.com/the-industrial-hammer-complex-d9785886ee59 eg, microservices, SPAs. "What we actually have is an industrial complex bent on manufacturing only hammers, committed to convincing you that only nails exist, and motivated to sell you a lifetime hammer subscription!" I recently investigated a page that had different spinners for each block (header, footer, nav). It preloaded loads of WebRTC framework, OAuth shit, and an SVG logo (1.6MB). All to render a signup form - after 45 secs over 3G.

Yesterday I got two rude, peremptory rejection letters from acronym-named Big Corps, about 9 seconds after braving their confusingly-implemented 3rd party application processes. Then I remembered that I hate acronymy corporate jobs anyway. So, if you need someone on a short or medium-term) basis to help educate your team in accessibility, or evaluate your project, give me a yell. Mates' Rates if you're actively trying to make the world better rather than merely maximise shareholder value.
