Client must provide a proof-of-work. There is no standard for that, so the only way is to implement the client-side code in javascript. It would be great if there was a standard for that so that all kinds of clients knew how to provide a pr

There was the "Do Not Track" header, but I don't think any sites that actually honored it. And it is deprecated now. On Firefox we still have webRequestBlocking, so it is quite simple to block cookies. See for example https:

This looks nice, but I fail to see any use cases that cannot be handled with bwrap and mount namespaces.

I agree, but at least it is consistent. This is also how `for`, `list`, `aria-labelledby`, `aria-describedby`, and probably many other attributes work.

This is a nicely written description of some of the things that flatpak does under the hood for people who know docker. Of course, flatpak does a lot more (e.g. filtered dbus access). I personally think that flatpak is not the end of histor

The one thing I thought was IMHO missing from this article was JavaScript. In HTML, it is pretty natural to add white space (i.e. text nodes containing white space) between all elements. You basically only have to worry if you want to avoid

Concerning text-to-speech and the missing separation of HTML and CSS: There are several open issues about this in the spec that defines how accessible names and descriptions are computed from HTML elements: https://github.com&#x2

I expected an uninformed rant and actually got a really well informed, balanced rant. I don't agree that this is a major issue, but every time I thought of a counter argument it was immediately addressed in the article. Well done!

I prefer using language agnostic tools where possible because that is both simpler and allows me to use the same tools with every language. For example, git, grep, or vim all work on any text file. vim has a few language specific settings t

I have an alias for `vim -p $(git grep -li "$1") +"/$1"` that allows me to quickly open files that contain a given string.

Making energy expensive is kind of the point, isn't it? The cost of destroying the planet was not billed in so far, so we need to correct that.

I never really understood why people want to style stuff like this. I like how you can express yourself by using colors and layout and stuff like that. But at some point usability is more important than branding.

One thing we I wish we would do with these tools is separate all the aria logic from the UI. We should put all that complex aria stuff into a library and then build different UIs on top of a shared, well tested code base. Shameless plug: h

I noticed that I automatically switched to only reading headings when the sections were super short. I guess there is some kind of rule here: The more headings you use, the less people will read your paragraphs.

The author makes it sound like most software in the world is software that is made to scale. I strongly doubt that. I would say that at least ~50% of software is ad-hoc scripts or specialized tools for single organizations. It is no wonder

AirBnB's designers have trouble understanding em and rem that have been part of CSS since at least 1999? I wonder what they do in their professional lives.

I often feel the same, so I will try to give a serious answer: Most web design today is driven by branding. Everyone seems to feel like they have to be express their uniqueness. This is awful and can widely be regarded as a bad move. I full
