I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?

What I’d give to be in Josh Johnson’s head rn 😁🍿

If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔

It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚

… e.g. your content (including audio), messages, metadata, location, device characteristics and device software, apps, “what you're doing on your device, such as whether our app is in the foreground”, identifiers that tell your device apart from other users’, device signals, information about the network that you connect your device to, including your IP address, and, of course, “information from cookies and similar technologies” – and so much more.

Sounds totally legitimate to me. 😂

Yes, yes, yes, yes, @jasonsantamaria! 👏

“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

Quick #CSS tip: If you unset all styles of a button with `all: unset`, don’t forget to re-add all the styles you need, like `box-sizing: border-box` or focus styles, which previously might have been coming from a rule with lower specificity (*) or the user agent stylesheet.

Someone – I blame my family, of course 😜 – used up all my mobile data for the month, so I’m now surfing like it’s 1999… 🐌 brb

Great that all “websites” are now basically 10 MB of JavaScript! 👏😂

I‘m afraid I won’t be able to make it to this year’s #CSSDay. 😔 And, looking at the stellar lineup and all the lovely people who will be there, FOMO is already huge! 🥲

Watching the talks remotely might help a bit, but just can’t replace the onsite experience …

Glasfaser-News! ✨ Letzte Woche kamen doch tatsächlich (nach erneuten Telefonaten meinerseits) noch mal zwei Techniker bei uns vorbei um den Anschluss, der im Februar mit APL montiert wurde, endgültig zu aktivieren.

Sie stecken also ihr Modem an – es macht keinen Mucks. Auch nicht an einer anderen Steckdose, auch nicht mit einem anderen Netzteil.

„Wir kommen nächste Woche noch mal.”
