It feels like there's a 70s design revival going on right now and I don't get it

I guess this makes me officially old?

(Illus @davidrevoy )

describe your fucking images, it doesn't have to be long. just two. words. so people using screenreaders aren't left wondering wtf is going on

In my experience, the biggest source of unnecessary energy waste in websites is JavaScript doing some kind of polling while the page is idle. Think about it: you spend ~95% of your time on a web page not doing much: maybe scrolling, maybe typing, maybe literally doing nothing. So if there's something running during "idle" time, consuming CPU, then that will be your biggest battery drain. Especially if you're unfortunate enough to leave the tab open for a long time.

Wow, this is full on: https://www.investigate-europe.eu/en/2017/europes-dire-dependency-on-microsoft/ Gov'ts around Europe (and, I would hope, elsewhere in the world) are realising how dangerous and expensive their dependence on Microsoft is. It's a damning epidemic, and they need to take evasive action.

DRM needs to die. In hellfire.

Hmmm, doesn't mention the <dialog> element...

In Rhapsode I have absolutely no plans to support alerts, they're a terrible auditory experience! Instead of you interrupting the listener, how about they ask for an update?

In Haphaestus I think I'll add link attributes allowing for modal dialogs, automatic updates whilst selected, etc...

Mozilla is shutting down Firefox Send and Firefox Notes. Luckily Nextcloud offers great #selfhosted alternatives!

From GNU Taler FAQ

"Actual transaction costs are estimated around 0.001 cent/transaction (at high transaction rates, amortized over billions of transactions, excluding migration costs)."

A disruptive payment processor (similar to Lets Encrypt) powered by GNU Taler might be able to totally change the game. :blobthinkingcool:
