It’s technicaly accessible, but presents a few problems. focus is never on a post, but on an element within a post. So you may find the Like button rather than the post itself, and you need to swipe through every element of each post. That’s a real pain. Also, some buttons either don’t work at all or do something unexpected.
I found navigation very difficult and was never quite sure where I was.
I haven’t found any images with Alt Text either.
The layout isn’t great.
All in all, it’s a bit of a trial to use. It’s almost as if they haven’t really bothered with #Accessibility. Fancy that!
Perhaps I should persevere with it, but, quite frankly, life’s too short, so I won’t be using it.

WeasyPrint because holy shit they wrote a browser in Python! It beats major browsers at CSS fragmentation and paged media. And with much better (far from perfect) PDF accessibility.
The browsers I use 99% of the time are not my favorites.

A hidden catch of the new fancy EuroCity direct service between Brussels and Amsterdam: Since the train does not stop in Breda anymore, subscription holders with 100% discount on Dutch railways still have to pay for the journey from Rotterdam to the border.
Therefore the basic ticket price for such subscription holders went up almost twofold - from € 10,50 to € 20.
And of course, due to limitations of the NS international journey planner, you cannot force it to use the slower EuroCity service.

One of the things I love about Montreal’s alleys is people make an effort with even the barest of them.
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

The White Stripes: Fell In Love With A Girl
Včera parafráze na Gondryho, tak teď Gondry sám a jeden z jeho nejslavnějších kousků. A samozřejmě je to nabušenej love song, minuta padesát, jízda. Vtipný je, že Jack White chtěl po Legu, jestli by nebylo možné ke každému CD přidat LEGO figurky jeho a Meg a oni ho odmítli, že "We don't market our product to people over the age of twelve." Tak to by dnes asi dopadlo jinak 😜

I think best ActivityPub : BlueSky analogy is X11 : SurfaceFlinger. The latter two have in common:
* Funded, capable product and engineering effort
* Open source bug no RMS vibes
* Many more users
The former two have:
* Some users who choose it on principle
* Fragmentation in the layers above
* Whining from the hangers-on
But fundamentally they solve overlapping but not identical problems. That's a fine thing.
Enjoy writing those modelines!

We're not losing anybody. It just looks like the good old Twitter to them, and there is still considerable time left until it turns out it isn't that.
To join the Fediverse, some fundamental insights and some commitment are required, which just aren't there as long as a shiny alternative is available that looks, at first sight, exactly like what you are looking for.
I understand how they get that impression, and I'm not mad or angry about it, at all.
@thibaultamartin somewhat, yeah. I've got some experience with both, but I'm wondering if there's anything cooler.
One thing I'm looking for is something easily styleable, and a decent ecosystem of pre-built components. Also Typescript support is a must
if you’re primarily hosting dynamic content, I would use a SSG.
- vanilla html/css if you don’t have many pages
- @astro if you want a really snappy website. It also has an interesting content layer to fetch content at build time. That’s what I use for ergaster.org
- zola if you’re looking for stability (you don’t need to update deps every other day). That’s what we use for matrix.org
Happy to expand if you want me to :)
