Good news: The party I voted for scored one seat in the #eu parliament! 💪 (#tierschutzpartei)

Bad news: Fascists now have 16 FUCKIN SEATS ARE YOU KIDDING ME GERMANY

All of this horrific shit that happened during the Third Reich: You really wanna go there again? Fuck this is so terrible

Hello #accessibility community, I have a question regarding #cms user interfaces. I may have gotten the gig to implement a website with strong #a11y focus, tech stack of my choice.

I'm gonna go with @astro and want to implement a CMS that is as accessible as possible. Do you have any experience with the following platforms?

I will do my own testing, but still curious. 🤗

In case you're using it: I've updated my @astro starter template to the latest #astro version.

Also the external link component got a small, but important update. 🤗

OMG new #BalanceAndComposure coming on October 4 this year!! 😭😍🤯

New album #WithYouInSpirit after eight years and it sounds like the band I fell in love with:

The recent #UXCollective #newsletter had a sponsored post for #FigmaToWebsite by #DivRiots.

I wondered how they ensure that the output is accessible, because in the description I only found "#Accessibility features" under "Ready for production", nothing else.

So I wrote them an email asking to elaborate how they tackled #a11y for their product. Eagerly anticipating their answer!

Today in my #LinkedIn inbox (excerpt and hashtags added by me):

They're looking for individuals experienced with the following:

• #UX Design
• #Angular
• #Figma
• Dealing with stakeholders and customer relationships

My response:

"Thanks for the offer but if there's one thing I don't want to do as a developer then it's 'dealing with stakeholders'. Not my job!"

I finally got #webmentions for @astro working! Thanks to @henry sparking my interest for it (again) and anyone here who helped me along the way.

Good news: I got #webmentions working locally with @astro ! 🥳

Bad news: They're not showing in production, there's not even a request, nor is my try & catch throwing me an error 🤡

Why is it SO HARD to get them working with #astro?? Meanwhile the #11ty community has tons of resources on how to do it...

I assume that it's some client-side issue but I've had enough of this, time to start the weekend

Five years ago was my graduation from #CodingBootcamp on this very day.

I looked back and wrote a GIANT #blog post: https://stevefrenzel.dev/posts/from-boot-camp-to-blog-five-years-in-the-tech-industry/

Check out my favourite records of the first quarter of #2024. Got some #emo, #rock, #BlackMetal and german #pop. But it's all great #music, I promise! 🤞

Also I put some real effort into the #AltText, as I discovered most records just because of the artwork. Hope my descriptions do them justice.

Question to #ScreenReader, #LowVision, #blind & #accessibility folks:

How do you feel about duplicate links in articles, blogs, whatever? Meaning: A certain word is a link (let's say "HEALTH") leading to an external website.

Would it annoy you if this word was always a link and it's mentioned for example 20 times in an article? Or would you rather have it only once to make it easier to scan for links?

Is there a related #wcag success criteria?

I enjoyed "Building a town that doesn't exist" by @dansinker at #11tyConf a lot! Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxJ6PtuF9M&t=13858s

It's nice to build something for the web that isn't necessarily useful, but rather entertainment.

I did the same a couple days ago to honor the late #SteveAlbini by turning his letter to #Nirvana into a mini website. Web can be fun, you know

Followed the steps on https://indiewebify.me/ to integrate #webmentions on my #blog and made some real good progress after plenty of commits.

No clue though how to actually show them using @astro but that's Tomorrow Steve's problem not mine

Just got an e-mail from #storyblok informing me that one of their sub-processors (whatever that means) is now #OpenAI.

I immediately asked them if the content I created will be used in any way to train their #LLM and if so, I want no part in it. Requested a back-up of my data and to delete everything.

I used it for the first iteration of my blog but switched to #markdown a while ago.

This is #ai bullshit hype is SO annoying
