Why is it that Chrome is the only browser that ignores inputmode="none" on inputs?
I want inputs in freshly opened <dialog> elements to not trigger the soft keyboard right away on (auto)focus, but instead when the user signals that they want to enter something, e.g. by a tap on it.
Safari works ✅
Firefox on Android works ✅
Samsung Internet works ✅
Chrome shows the soft keyboard ❌
☹️
Do I really have to inject a dummy element with tabindex="0" before the first input for it to catch focus?
Interestingly, inputmode="none" seems to work here, when dynamically applied: https://codepen.io/mustaqahmed/full/gOYxLaL

🎧 All We Love We Leave Behind – Converge
More Converge, more betterer! Certainly one of my favourite discoveries in recent years. While I enjoy everyone here, it’s again Ben Koller’s drumming and Nate Newton’s bass playing that fascinate me most. Just listen to that groovy drum rhythm, together with the rather calm bass in “All we love we leave behind”, or this insane drum fill in “Veins and Veils” (again, with a great bass riff). Putting a ride symbol in there like this makes me absolutely addicted, and makes me happy for days.
Since my Flickr account is not publicly accessible because I don’t want to pay for a Pro account (and there are apparently a couple of “unsafe” images somewhere in my account), I republished my WordCamp Frankfurt photos from 2016 (!) as a gallery on my photoblog.
I also updated the original blog post about the event, and replaced all of the old Twitter links with people’s website/blog URLs. 💪 (Now I want to find and replace ALL Twitter links…)
Let that be a reminder to myself to always post on my own website and link to people’s websites instead of social media profiles whenever possible!

@KrijnHoetmer Happy Happy Birthday dear Krijn!!! 🎉🎊🥳🎁🥂 I hope you enjoy a wonderful day ☀️ with your girls - be it at the allotment 🌱 or at the beach 🏖️.
🎬 Natural Born Killers

Greatly enjoyed this one. The two are just so sweet. So, I loved Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis here. Tommy Lee Jones was great, too. Greatly reminded me of Wild At Heart. Story and proposition is great two. Reminded me partly of Nightcrawler. And it is just overall funny and weird with wild camera work, which reminded me of Climax. But I would’ve enjoyed one more action scene like the one at the diner at the beginning.
🎬 L.A. Confidential

I liked this overall. It’s a wild chase with ever more intrigues and entanglements coming to light. I especially liked Guy Pearce’s character and performance. But I couldn’t fully enjoy this on a first watch, as this was so fast paced and has this rather complex plot (watching in to me non-native English didn’t quite help, either), that I had the constant feeling of having missed something. Luckily they actually explain more and more towards the end, and I could more and more shake that feeling. Still, maybe a candidate for a second watch.
@chrisstoecker das kann doch kein Zufall sein. Ist das, um AI Crawler aus dem Tritt zu bringen?

I tried to do these monthly posts for a while because I like to read them when others post them. But I always forget to write down things I’ve been watching or doing, so at the end of the month, it feels like too much work to try to remember everything and then write a post about it. I tried to make it a habit to log my thoughts for these posts, but it does not come naturally to me. So I am renouncing any further monthly posts.

Very cool!
🎬 Nightcrawler

In the beginning I thought Jake Gyllenhaal’s character is pretty implausible. But then I just enjoyed his and Riz Ahmed’s performances, the pretty night scenes, the suspense and just his sheer dry ruthlessness. And the film also gives you plenty to think about.

🎧 Lifeless Birth – Necrot
Just so much great riffing going on in this collection of fantastic songs. They have enough non-4/4-parts and tempo changes to make it interesting without making it hard to follow. There are some tasty guitar solos, too. “Drill the Skull” is my favourite, with this insanely awesome middle section.
