Wow, English-only people (or Western languages, for that matter) are so naïve. In case you didn't know, the lang attribute is very important in East Asian languages.

Serious question. How do platforms that accept user-generated content handle this?

Take Mastodon for example, if three users send a post, one in Chinese, one in Korean, one in Japanese, and the app is international, how would this be handled? How should this be handled?

Are apps targeting the Asian market rewquiring the user to correctly fill in the "language" field each time? Are you effectively required to include AI-based language detection in each product? Are browsers truly unable to figure this out on their own when there's no lang attribute present?

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki On the web, it's common to specify the lang attribute in the top-level <html> tag. Internationalized apps will prefer the user's locale setting.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki maston lets users specify a default language & change the language on a per-post basis when they are composing posts.


Sight impaired sweet followers and people, I am wondering what you all use for a watch / tell you the time / ECT ? ... I have a small collection of braille watches and talking watch's ... And somewhere hidden I have a 1860 braille pocket watch ... Thank you

You all inspire me to be better ... Hugz

Doing a "Veronica Mars" rewatch, and it's absolutely hilarious to see the guest stars in the first season of what was a small UPN show in 2004. You have:

- future Academy Award winner Melissa Leo
- future Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain
- future Primetime Emmy Award winner Aaron Paul

As the #AI hype train continues, the threat it poses to #privacy continues to grow. 🤖

What are your biggest concerns about how AI will impact your privacy? Let us know in the comments!

in reply to Tuta

today's devices come with an AI processor integrated. On my computer I have disabled it from UEFI settings. However, there is no such method on mobile devices. This means that I will never be able to upgrade my phone or computer.

It is a generally valid statement that AI can not be trusted, given that it can take its own decisions. So in order to actually benefit from it for specific use cases like photography etc, we have to be able to put hardware limitations on it.

in reply to Tuta

My biggest concern is that service providers of all kinds will jump on the bandwagon and implement existing AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT or others) without giving them much thought or taking precautions.

Currently, the implementation of AI in search engines is very popular. It is important that this is not done by default and that every input is not passed on to the AI tool without being asked.

You can use the tool on a voluntary basis if you are aware of the consequences.



I went to the #CNE #CanadianNationalExhibbition today. I’m appropriately drained from body surfing the waves of overwhelming nostalgia! The pleasant sensory overload of the Midway evoked so many of my best childhood memories: I had no special urge to test my aging nervous system on the rides other than the cable car today, but I ate deep fried Oreos, a root beer float, and part of one of those fried onion flower shaped things.

📎 It looks like you are trying to destroy capitalism. Would you like some help with that?


Oh no bitwarden what the hell did you do to your website?
<a aria-label="go to bitwarden.com/products/persona…" data-testid="cta-link" class="plausible-event-name=navigation+drop+menu+click plausible-event-button=products+pm+personal ......

It keeps going on and on. And the result? A menu that reads like this to a screen reader:

link go to bitwarden.com/pricing/business…
link go to bitwarden.com/download/
link go to bitwarden.com/developers/

Can we collectively add a thing to VS Code that pops up a really big warning when you control s any file that has aria-label in it that says "You probably don't wanna do this!" and won't let you proceed until you enter a very good reason for why you did this, which is then inspectable in the html source for all of us to see?

in reply to Talon

I think chrome should have some basic screen reader built into the dev tools to make it testable
in reply to Piggo

@piggo it actually used to have one! But really, windows has one, mac has one, linux has one that works with chromium and firefox browsers. So I doubt having a screen reader in Chrome would have made them care enough to try before production.
in reply to Talon

It would lower the barrier a lot, I tried twice to wrap my head around Orca and gave up. I for sure don't have the motivation like someone like you who actually needs it, but it's amazingly obscure
in reply to Piggo

@piggo on windows you press control windows enter, and on mac you press command f5. On most linux distros you should be able to turn it on with super s, or super alt s. Anything after that is actually using the screen reader itself, which is sadly necessary to test functionality meant for screen readers. Building one into Chrome probably won't help you here as it would need to be similarly complex. Otherwise, the functionality you're testing for would be missing in the screen reader. But in Bitwarden's case, turning on any screen reader, focusing the website and pressing tab a bunch would have caught this problem.
in reply to Talon

@piggo that said though, I believe chrome's dev tools have an accessibility inspector which should have also definitely made this pretty obvious, no screen reader required.
in reply to Talon

@piggo ah well I'm trying it now and that does not seem to be quite as obvious as I expected. I'm still really confused as to how aria labels like that could happen though. I don't really understand.
in reply to Talon

I see something called lighthouse in the dev tools and it marks aria as passed, it's just happy it even is there
in reply to Piggo

@piggo yeah that is very unfortunate actually, because the aria is completely useless. Something that automated testing just won't catch I suppose since it wouldn't know what a good label would be.
in reply to Talon

@piggo the confusing bit is somebody somewhere decided the full URL of each page, including querystrings and all, would be a good aria label.
in reply to Talon

I don't think there was any conscious process behind this, probably just a mistake (variable link vs label or such)
in reply to Piggo

@piggo yup, probably something component related as that HTML definitely does not look remotely hand written.
in reply to Talon

Just a reminder that although not in the extension's description, @jcsteh's AxSHammer has the ability to kill all aria-label.

google search: "east coast canada road trip"

5 out of 6 results: "Here's an epic road trip through NB, NS, and PEI !!1"

kinda forgot someone there, eh bud? arguably two someones?

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub NFLD definitely; I was also thinking Gaspésie if people are headed out that way, even though QC isn't generally considered an "East Coast" province
in reply to Rick Scott 🏳️‍⚧️

when we did our East-Coast trip, we didn't go to NFLD as the ferry was a problem... (travelling with a dog)
in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub absolutely, and even without pup, it's still a relatively big chunk of time to invest since the ferry is basically a full travel day on its own. but you'd think that people would mention that instead of just pretending it doesn't exist

I've learned something new today: the file extension of .webp. I was working with images and I came across this extension. I did not know what these files were.
A file with a .webp extension is an image file format developed by Google, known as WebP. It is designed to provide superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP images are typically smaller in size compared to traditional image formats like JPEG or PNG, while maintaining similar or better quality. This makes them ideal for use on websites, as they can help reduce page load times and bandwidth usage.
