Übergangsweise ein Parkplatz. Nicht ein Park. Weil das wär ja Nix für Autofahrende. 5,5 Millionen Euro. Erstmal für Parkplätze.

"Schandfleck der Innenstadt": 15 Jahren stand diese Ruine leer, jetzt will die Stadt etwas ändern […]

Visuals of the new logo notwithstanding, I find it irritating that it is applied to old specs as well.

This must be one of the least loved screens in the whole history of computers. Nothing screems more “go away” than this.

Just playing around with the new Spotlight and the Shortcuts integration on macOS Tahoe and OMG this is amazing.

Did you know that you can change what you need to type in Spotlight by clicking on the letters it suggested and change it to any string you want […]

Oh, Mailmate, they really done you dirty in macOS Tahoe!

[uspoli, Charlie Kirk]

Kirk would have been a terrible president, especially for all the minorities out there. Imagine the ethnic cleansing he would have loved to do.

Opens the new WCAG 3.0 draft, finds this section. Closes the WCAG 3.0 draft.

Requiring an image text alternative only if it is for understanding is bad. There are so many non pure decoration images that would have no requirements for alternative texts.

Reason number 7349 why knowing HTML is useful:

Being able to hack the ePub of an accessibility book so its title does not say “Fisrt edition” instead of the real title in my e-reader.

(Typos happen, there is no shame in that. But there was no way to change […]

I put all non-WCAG EN 301 549 requirements into an Obsidian vault today. A lot of work, but I hope to connect the different requirements together in a way that makes them testable or at least decide what to advise to clients.

Some seem redundant to WCAG SCs (at […]

I created a little shortcut that takes selected text of the EN 301 549 and formats it nicely for Obsidian, so I can sync it to there and write my thoughts on the different requirements.
