Satya Nadella's wife: did you think about what you want to do for dinner tomorrow?

Nadella: so I think of this in two key ways. The first is: what kind of experiences do we want to engender through this act of eating of a meal? What do we want it to mean? And the second is, how do we engage our partners to symbiotically produce an approach that benefits both Microsoft and our dinner? In what way can we leverage AI and the full, vertically integrated copilot stack to create this meal?

💡 CSS Tip!

One line of code that looks strange and confusing. You may think it's not even CSS but it will save you many times in the future!

It will make sure the width of your element is always an integer! No more decimal and rounding issues!

"width: auto" with an upgrade 😎

No browser support yet but you can test it on the latest Chrome with the experimental flag enabled: https://codepen.io/t_afif/pen/rNgLyJz

I wrote about CSS' new contrast-color() function, and how it's placing the effort in the wrong place. https://ericwbailey.website/published/contrast-color-is-a-good-thing-but-also-solving-the-problem-at-the-wrong-layer/

Today, we step up our enforcement actions against Microsoft.

After not having received an answer to our request for information from 14 March regarding specific risks stemming from Bing's generative AI features, Microsoft has now until 27 May to provide it or could face fines and periodic penalties.

Bing may pose risks linked to generative AI, such as so-called ‘hallucinations’, deepfakes, and the automated manipulation of services that can mislead voters.

Accessible buttons: GitHub mobile edition, the background colours which reveal the state of a reaction button are so similar in contrast that I frequently “unlike” things because I can’t tell if I’ve already reacted to it.

Screen caps are cropped so scale here is unrepresentative

I have heard anecdotally about the ongoing enshittification of Google’s Disability Support team responses. Which makes sense; Google got the PR credit on launch and, since it generates no direct revenue, seem to have let it languish.

Why people are so proud at introducing CSS hacks for interactivity behaviors on their website instead of writing a phew lines of JavaScript when we know that’s an accessibility nightmare.

If you prioritize some nerds who hate JavaScript over people with assisting technologies to be able to navigate the web you’re not only a dickhead to my eyes, but what you’re doing is the opposite of “ethical”

Do better!

If you check your analytics, you may have noticed something weird. None of your visitors use Windows 11, and nobody upgraded their computer past macOS 10.15. That can't be right. So what is going on?

Web apps—topics I’d like to be discussed more:
– Offline capability
– Peer-to-peer operation (syncing etc.)

It’s a shame that most web apps cease to work properly whenever the internet connection is flaky or gone. For me, that happens whenever I travel (train, plane, etc.).

Native apps are better at offline (but not much).

Here is a great use case for #CSS container queries, inspired by LinkedIn's feed.

✨ Show or hide each post action label (e.g: 'Like' or 'Comment') based on the container width. ✨
