If blog start page has datetime information (element time) preceeding articles, which HTML5 and ARIA is good to use?

I do not want add extra heading.
My idea was to give a better structure/information.

Element aside with role=note is ok?

Fantastic talk from @gerireid at London Web Standards, about accessibility in a project’s cycle of life.

Cheeky and insightful. :)

Chromium 136 freaked up CSS with a strange privacy feature and broke a:visited links.

Display with CSS of visited links fail if no referrer is sent.

I could not find any hint from Chromium Devs and no changelogs why Chromium 134 needed no referrer whereas Chromium 136 needs referrer!

Bug?

As we consider ways to implement #ActivityPub into our FOSS Community Calendar Ecosystem platform Koalagator, I've been looking over the differing specs for how to specify the event object schema.

Have any other folk wrestled with this?Asking before I get arms deep in this stuff.

For those playing at home...

Schema.org - Event

Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet.

schema.org/Event

-----
W3C Activity Vocabulary - Event

This specification describes the Activity vocabulary. It is intended to be used in the context of the ActivityStreams 2.0 format and provides a foundational vocabulary for activity structures, and specific activity types.

Fediverse Enhancement Proposal
FEP-8a8e: A common approach to using the Event object type

ActivityStreams defines the Object Type Event. In real-world applications, the event object immediately showed the need for extension. Applications featuring Event objects have often chosen to add additional attributes and clarifications (i.e., interpretations) in order to implement their particular use case. This proposal clarifies and extends the ActivityPub standard to address the needs that have arisen in real-world implementations.

[HTML] Microformats - h-event

People are using microformats to mark up profiles, posts, events and other data on their personal sites, enabling developers to build applications which use this data in useful and interesting ways.

iCalendar Standard (RFC 5545)

iCalendar was first defined as a standard as RFC 2445 in 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, iCalendar is used to import and synchronize events on various platforms, including smart phones, computer and web applications.
