Not So Short Note on “aria-label” Usage—Big Table Edition, by @SteveFaulkner:
The fastest non-Google controlled web rendering engine Servo is trying to compete with only $1.6k funding a month:

#Servo #Rust #Blink #Google #Chrome
Servo is a web rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.Servo

Ich würde gerne glauben, dass wir als Gesellschaft dazugelernt haben und die jetzt in #Mannheim gezeigte Anteilnahme nichts mit #Rassismus zu tun hat.
Nur sehe ich sehr wenig #Trauer und #Humanität, sondern vor allem die vollkommen unangemessene Betonung der Herkunft des Täters.
