”An entire ’80s PC implemented in pure CSS. An 8086 CPU, chipset, 640 KB RAM, floppy, keyboard and VGA screen in one .css file…It boots Microsoft Windows 1.0 and its namesake MS-DOS, and runs real ’80s software. Yes, it runs DOOM*” css-dos.ahmedamer.co.uk
"Be quiet or we'll keep killing you" is one hell of a message for the midterms.

someone tell serkis that middle-earth isn’t real and there aren’t actually white people in Arda
Bianca Michelle Parker@bumblebigirl.bsky.social · 3w agoFeels bad that a director of a major studio film is perfectly comfortable saying that casting non-white actors is just something you do to look woke and otherwise isn't remotely necessary
Someone should run for office promising to end GoFundMe. Not put the company out of business via executive order or something. But fix American health care such that there is no longer a need for GoFundMe. Nearly every one is proof of our system's failure to take care of Americans.
Shopify’s announcement web pages are such a mess. So much scroll jank. Doesn’t honor reduced motion settings. This is the second one in a row that I want to read, but can’t because the animation makes it unbearable. www.shopify.com/editions/…
This is exactly the feedback I gave at BlinkOn in the WebMCP session. Use the accessibility tree first. It should cover 99.9%. If models require additional/different instructions, that’s when it would make sense to offer bespoke instructions.
The Safari team's reason for opposing Web MCP struck a cord with me. It is something I've struggled to articulate in the past. In fact, their comments contain the seed of a design principle that the W3C should adopt. cloudfour.com/thinks/impro...

Mat “Wilto” Marquis@wil.to · 2mo agoOnce again, @gri.gs proves that I am the more even-keeled of the two of us — not given to hyperbole or hubris, as he so often is — as he declares the death of responsive images once and for all. Call him a “bad influence” on me if you must (as many people do!), but so help me: I’m inclined to agree.

Ending Responsive Images
Mat Marquis isn't known for pulling his punches. And yet, Marquis stopped short when he declared The End of Responsive Images. Mat left responsive images on the ropes. I hope to finish them.

Responsive images syntax was always a compromise forced by constraints. Lazy-loading removes the one of those constraints. Now we have an opportunity to simplify responsive images. Let's make it happen! cloudfour.com/thinks/endin...

Look, I generally agree that California (and some other vote by mail states) should count its votes faster. But *that’s* not what is undermining faith in government. It’s bad faith actors exploiting the slow ballot count to make baseless claims of irregularities.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo agoIn @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The rapid counting of ballots was the norm for more than a century and remains the norm in other democratic countries,” the editorial board writes. “It is time for California to catch up to its own past.”

i'm not sure it's quite a pump and dump scheme but it really does reveal something basically broken in the system. Or at least the existence of new scales of company size that break the system and lead to company's being able to game the system like this

In multiple conversations at @cascadiajs.com, I tried to remember the name of a different type of AI than LLMs that had “object” in the name. Once my brain got stuck on object, it wouldn’t let go, but it was “symbol” not “object.” Neuro-symbolic AI was what I was trying to remember.
