I’m setting up a new computer, and thinking perhaps it is time to revisit Firefox
If you haven't used Firefox in forever because of performance, maybe take another look? It's faster than you might think! And (a) still has better accessibility than Chrome, (b) proper ad blocking support, (c) is not owned by an advertising company
Firefox 120 To Firefox 141 Web Browser Benchmarks Review
For those curious about the direction of Mozilla Firefox web browser performance over the past year and a half, here are web browser benchmarks for every Firefox release from Firefox 120 in November 2...

It is getting scary how often we see AI touted as the solution to all the world’s accessibility problems. AI does material harm to people and planet in myriad ways. It’s not ok for us to abdicate responsibility for building the world we deserve by ignoring the problems and letting AI “think” for us
Some people float AI as the way to make a11y happen and not just "improve some aspects" or "help some users to get to better information" but in the sense of "nobody will need to know anything about a11y as AI will make it irrelevant". This is a dangerous proposal. E.Eggert

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

A great short thread, but especially this:
(5/5) Key questions: Does prioritising "unforgettable" over "usable" truly serve users? What happens to accessibility when taste overrides usability principles? The substance lies in the commitment to putting users at the centre of decisions, not the titles.

Saw this on LinkedIn this morning it feels like a very good way to explain the difference between copywriting and other forms. It also reflects a more collaborative approach. Clients give us the material, and we put it together in the most compelling way we can.

This is super cool. (One of the things I like best about making websites my clients have control over is that usable websites are part of having the power to tell their own stories and create their own records)

Been thinking about adding a long-form platform to our stack and learning about @ghost.org Anybody using it and have thoughts?
I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values.
