“One of the Italian snipers identified to SISMI in 1993 was from Milan, and the owner of a private clinic specialising in cosmetic surgery,” he said. “We are talking about wealthy people, entrepreneurs with a reputation, who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to be able to kill helpless civilians.”

This is exactly what we ended up doing on Direct File to protect taxpayer privacy while remaining focused on accessibility.
Like any UX solution, you also have options with accessibility, each with their own tradeoffs.

Cool to see this state-level design system tracker by @beeckcenter.bsky.social. Contrary to the beliefs of some—design is so much more than branding and beauty. And it looks like at least MD and NJ are using USWDS as a base (and maybe soon CO).

Completely unrelated to the article, but I don’t know why I get so much of a kick out of the stylesheet links I see shown in so many tech story images.
Today's AWS outage, which affected a range of websites and applications—from Signal to Fortnite to key UK government services—reveals the dangers of relying on a handful of Big Tech firms, write Article 19's Corinne Cath and Don Le. These are not glitches; they are democratic failures, they say.

Over the 3-day weekend, like every normal person, I sat down and wrote a blog post about modal windows. I worked on creating the modals for in the U.S. Web Design System back in 2021, and now, HTML offers us the
HTML dialog: Getting accessibility and UX right
The HTML dialog element gives us powerful native modal capabilities, but creating dialogs that work well for all users still requires intentional accessibility and UX decisions.

CSS is so awesome, y’all.
This talk by @nerdy.dev is a wonderful presentation of why CSS is awesome and why we love it so much www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW6G...
Just look at what's possible with #CSS today
And the format is great for the impatient ones (myself included). Right speed, right transitions (pun intended 😉)

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
