In today's "Can't Decide Whether to 😂 or 😭 React" Department - team is joking about putting off WCAG testing and coding since ADA will probably end up going away next.
Developers - code for ADA regardless. If you need more incentive (and you shouldn't) it's also good for SEO.

Frame your data like the plot twist everyone saw coming but couldn't prevent - except this time, you're giving them the cheat codes to win. Make them feel smart for getting ahead of the problem.

We love that Julien does this, but who can blame him for getting a bit weary of the northern European roads and weather in Spring/Autumn.
Would anyone fancy joining him for the journey this April?

Wondering wether to ride another ExtraMileForSEO to @brightonseo.com next April. It would be my 7th trip already, and tbh I’m not that motivated to do it again, especially solo. Anyone wants to join?

I'm reading the European Commission Guidelines on the definition of an AI System under the #EUAIAct and I find them very abstract and difficult to apply in practice. For instance ..

According to Politico, Kaplan said at the event that he "expects to roll out the (content moderation policy) changes in the EU as well", but not this year. Adding that "they would work with European regulators whenever it decides to bring those changes to the EU".

As of today, the #EUAIAct provisions apply. Partially banned or prohibits certain AI uses that manipulate or exploit individuals, such as live face recognition or social scoring #AI
As of February 2025: Harmful AI applications prohibited in the EU - AlgorithmWatch
Bans under the EU AI Act become applicable now. Certain risky AI systems which have been already trialed or used in everyday life are from now on – at least partially – prohibited.

People running things where they shouldn't run is my favourite kind of experiments 😍
I got Linux running in a PDF file using a RISC-V emulator.
PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile the TinyEMU emulator to asm.js, which runs in the PDF. It boots in about 30 seconds and emulates a riscv32 buildroot system.
