Listening to The Ramones while setting up a new dish strainer, which is decidedly not punk.
Reminder that if you have a blog and also happen to be involved in web development - you are not limited to writing tech posts!
I really love when people write about music, pets, hobbies, DIY projects... Anything other than making rectangles appear on screens!
I want to do that more myself this year. Let's get personal! 💜
@svgeesus :chefs-kiss:
@svgeesus I'll never forget Firefox letting you toggle different stylesheets and the, like, two sites that actually supported it.
@svgeesus Ooooof, yeah.
@donnie cards are just links that got too big for their britches
@annaecook (Good tell that someone might be troublesome if they refer to themselves with that term, in my opinion. The only expert on disability is the person experiencing it.)
@annaecook I try to correct people when they call me that. Always more to learn.
@binyamin Yes! Love their writing.
@matthiasott if only there was some way to encapsulate collections of property/value declarations
The #CSSWG just resolved to allow `var()` references in #CSS container queries:
```css
@container (inline-size > var(--small)) {
.card { padding: 2em; }
}
```
The custom property is resolved on the container – so we're querying if the computed value of `--small` on our container:
1. is valid in context (a `<length>` value), and
2. is less-than the container `inline-size`
It's not "custom media queries" feature, but it is Damn Close™️ – and maybe more powerful. I'm excited to play with it! 🥳
@mia :sicko-yes:
Very late in yesterday’s #BrailleDay I posted:
“JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver Braille Viewers”
https://adrianroselli.com/2023/01/jaws-nvda-and-voiceover-braille-viewers.html
I do not have a Braille display nor do I read Braille. But these can be useful for quick tests on what is not exposed. Also, hire someone who does. #accessibility
really appreciate how everyone refused to acknowledge the concept of resolutions this year

@pants Oy. We had a CEO breakpoint at a previous job, just so he wouldn't complain when browsing on his weirdo Android tablet.
