 Scroll to Text Fragment (i.e. #:~:text=โฆ) has had poor accessibility and weโve been slow to implement it, wanting a better solution. As of https://bugzil.la/1914877, Firefox now supports this feature, highlighting the range to assistive technologies to support better accessibility. Firefox will reconsider supporting JPEG XL if they get a Rust implementation: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/pull/1064 This is a very good news for web standards: https://mastodon.social/@kornel/113078862354601952 and will fix a blocker that is hurting adoption of JPEG XL. The reference implementation has unfortunately been written in C++ just as browser vendors started looking into migrating away from C++ for security reasons, and saw the C++ codec primarily as a big new attack surface.

 @kornel *sighs* Of COURSE this'll just fuel the Rust Cult people. JPEG XL is cool though.

  @heydon Bless you. Please sell a REACT IS A CULT shirt. My wife saw me watching the video when that came on the screen and said โSee, youโre not alone!โ  @heydon Amazing - the genocide->hooks transition is wonderful. Just in case no one has called it out yet - a link in your transcript has the text and link the wrong way round, so it doesn't render as a link -  Just open sourced i-html, a modestly sized web component which allows dynamically importing of html fragments inline. It enables some surprisingly nice patterns. https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/i-html/ Be the change you want to see in the world. Start by changing your editor settings from spaces to tabs.

 @sindresorhus now my workplaceโs git pre-commit hooks replace all my code anyway. Was this helpful? I donโt know. I havenโt had a chance to see the content yet, and I probably wonโt. @pepelsbey I absolutely love reading articles through the tiny 20px tall window between the cookie banners, fixed headers, newsletter modals and chatbot popups.  In Firefox, you can style the way a plain text response looks like by adding a `Link: <url>; rel=stylesheet` HTTP header. Sadly doesnโt work in Safari or Chrome. My new post: โQuerying the Color Schemeโ. https://blog.kizu.dev/querying-the-color-scheme/ Media queries are nice, but for many things, we donโt even need them: there is this great #CSS property `color-scheme`, which allows us to make various things adapt to the current color scheme. We can even set it on a per-element basis. This post describes how we can use registered custom properties and style queries to read the current value of a `light-dark()` color for styling any non-color properties as well.

@kizu I feel the same way about the linked issue proposing to change how `prefers-color-scheme` to work. I think Iโd have to rewrite some of my CSS mental models if that were to change. Seems less harmful to either use the style query approach youโve demonstrated or for that to develop into its own specific query. Also, seems like style query support for at least some non-custom properties worth revisiting.  @kizu ha, i was working on a post about color-scheme too. this just means i have to write fewer things ๐ and totally agreed on the media queries behavior: media queries should reflect the user's preference, not the author's (even if that's set in HTML). https://front-end.social/@mayank/112763009752291121  @kizu oooh I love your new (?) aside components! have you talked about those already? Little bonus @waveformpodcast today about ActivityPub and the Fediverse! If you're trying to understand what the heck the Fediverse is, we get... possibly a little too deep into it.

My favorite bar is on vacation, my friends are scattered around the worldโฆ So, I decided to invite everyone to a livestream. August 25th at 12:00 Berlin time. Let's chat about everything. I suspect it would be mostly in Russian, but everyoneโs welcome, really. Drinks are on you! It is *so cool* to see my colleague @jonsneyersโs years of work on JPEG XL, which I had the great privilege of shooting the shit with him about, pay off in various ways: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2024/08/22/iphone-16-jpeg-xl-rumor/ Some really good changes coming for default apps on iOS in the EU. My realization in 2024 has been that the DMA fork of iOS is the best iPhone experience. We can finally use our phones like actual computers with more default apps and apps from external sources.

 No, Apple still has to approve thrid party app stores and is still standing there between developer and user. There is also iOS standing in the way. Computers are not a certan set of features, they are universal, having ALL the features. To be a computer for the user you need to let it run any program, directly on the processor, not API layer of iOS. By the way, the State of CSS 2024 survey is now open! https://survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey/state-of-css/2024?source=mastodon rad Firefox Devtools feature ๐ edit any clip-path shape visually  @argyleink so *that's* what that icon does. i've seen it so many times but never tried clicking it ๐ |
