Make the net weird again. Hand write sites like it’s the 90s. Pick interesting domain names and make fan sites or random knowledge known to everyone. Don’t monetize anything. Spearhead new protocols like Gemini. Make mods for games on your site. Make FAQs for obscure games no one knows about. Make public software services available to anyone. Make a news site about a really random subject. Create music in all kinds of different formats. Most of all, do it because you want to!

@sturobson @VincentTunru This might be backwards, but I think aria-label isn’t considered with accessible name calculation with those elements, so the effort is moot from an assistive technology user’s perspective.

I wrote about the potential downsides to over-using aria-label. ericwbailey.website/published/
