Last Notes npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds Has #MailChimp added a new feature where they automatically re-send email newsletters if the recipient hasn't opened them within a few days? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xa9x Adrian! I thought you'd understood: anthropomorphizing LLMs makes people overestimate their capabilities. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xa9x "This author has chosen to make their posts visible only to people who are signed in." 🫤 npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…8snd Other relevant ways to reframe the debate: npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xa9x "What's the value of a mutual-defence agreement when we're the ones starting all the wars?" is sadly, a totally logical perspective. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y OK, yeah, I wasn't thinking about other interactions like sorting & filtering. And as you said up top, whatever you do make sure you test it well with users. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe @nprofile…43g2 Oh, so you're going for the gritty-dark-reboot villains, I see, Zach. I was hoping for lighter comic action fare, myself. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…8xvq "investor" is a mixed category, though. There is certainly the class of hedge-fund type investor who optimizes for short-term revenues rather than long-term profitability, and I wonder how many people like that are managing investment portfolios for people who would prefer to invest in stable businesses? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe @nprofile…xvq0 In this unhinged age, all doors will be sliding doors. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe *me* immediately goes through Zach's recent boosts to see which one inspired this post. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe There's certainly a benefit of a consistent labelling scheme across repos, so someone looking at a new-to-them issue list doesn't need to first learn a labelling taxonomy. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe Oooh, classy. So what technique did you end up using? Pixel sampling the favicons? Or did you find good enough results from manifest theme colors? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe It's a wonderful phrase for avoiding a fight while quietly insulting someone in your own mind. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y You've got at least a few weeks left to make the most of the low Canadian dollar before the tariffs apply, if you want to do a little cross-border shopping. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe I hope your dependencies remember to upgrade with cake & festivities today! npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xq7g @nprofile…5cqg I'm glad it worked out! It's great that this was a conversation you had with her, that she was able to decide for herself that she didn't need a babysitter, and was determined & able to demonstrate that for the whole meeting. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…vzuc @nprofile…xq7g I wouldn't normally describe Edmonton transit as exemplary in anyway, but yeah, I tried & it's hard to get Google to come up with a route where it's telling you to start tonight then wait until morning for your connect. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe Yes, SVG-as-image is sandboxed (no script or references to external files) but in browsers it still uses the full web rendering engine, just with those features blocked. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe They don't like that it requires a full DOM model to render an image. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…8xvq If you're on the main pixelfed.social server, I think they're getting a bit crunched by the sudden increase in usage, so that might have been part of it? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y It's a neat idea for something you'll use regularly, and that didn't need to be perfectly shaped or part of a set. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y Nice! Are you taking a pottery class, or got yourself a membership somewhere with a kiln? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…4tpe You, uh, still looking for good 3D models to print? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y Ah, I meant regression compared to anchor links using element ids, on the assumption that this is what text fragment links are replacing. The highlighting is a new behaviour, so you could maybe see that as a progressive enhancement that some users got that in addition to the jump link. But actually jumping to the target is pretty fundamental. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y I am sadly not surprised that a new feature was shipped without integration with assistive tech, but does the reading cursor at least jump to the correct part of the page, or is using text fragments an accessibility regression compared to using ids as anchor links? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…6h3y 🫤 yeah, I've been a bit skeptical of people celebrating the downfall of a dictator before we knew what the replacement would be like. And even with this as a starting point, we don't know what direction it will go from here. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xq7g I suspect you could probably find educational models specifically about pregnancy, but that doesn't really address the male-as-default issue. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…32kp It's a bit of an HTML limitation, that there's no way to map referrer URLs to a sanitized or canonical URL, without obfuscating the actual destination to pass it through a link service (like t.co). I guess too much potential for abuse? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @nprofile…xq7g I know @nprofile…une7 made lots of demos of very fancy sliders with range inputs & data lists, but I think she usually removes default styles and generates ticks herself with gradients. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub16mu…qy4m "rounded vertical tab" is probably the best, although it seems a bit weird when only looking at one of them. But the idea is you'd use that as part of a sidebar with a vertical list of tabs, right? npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub16mu…qy4m Oh, pooh. There's no mention of a limit in the browser extension description, but who knows. It could have been added more recently. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub16mu…qy4m Sounds like what you want is really an old-fashioned word-processor spelling & grammar checker, not an AI writing tool. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub1zyl…t54n Given the name of their organization, I'm assuming this is a tit-for-tat to a cease & desist from WordPress/Automattic for WP Fusion using the "WP" in their brand. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub16mu…qy4m The technical terms for inside vs outside curves are concave (scoops inwards, like a cave) and convex (bulges outwards, like a flexing muscle). npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub1xy8…k9gh You might need to go stand with an umbrella over the dogs in the garden to avoid accidental leaks indoors! npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds Re the #polyfillio malware issue: npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub1zyl…t54n Needs more <hgroup> npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub16mu…qy4m If the listing is the main content, I wouldn't call that a nav, no. Especially if there is more than just a plain text link. npub1dc2j7ttk2z2ednnrckmvfkfrfexhj8ugy95rrsdxvt9m9n8huq8svf2h2w Amelia Bellamy-Royds @npub1zyl…t54n @npub1qg3…xc6v Certainly for "find in page", it would be nice to have every hit visible at once. And yeah, I'd also get annoyed about the thing I was reading automatically closing just because I've tried to find another reference on the page.
