I decided not to risk it and take the bus. Said bus took a wrong route, forcing me to run 500m in two minutes to catch my train. And *that* train is full due to reduced service, meaning I'll stand for the next 40 minutes next to a lady playing loud Schlager for all of us whether we want it or not.
Public transport is the *true* Köln Marathon.
Um video curioso.

i'm on the fence about nuclear power.
on the one hand, it is a clean (relatively speaking) source of power, and all historical catastrophes were results of bureaucratic incompetence rather than technical limitations
on the other hand, nuclear technology goes hand-in-hand with nuclear weapons; bureaucratic incompetence is all but inevitable; and renewables exist
i'm looking to harvest opinions and discussion to help figure out where i stand... please boost and leave your thoughts!
As a person who often struggles with accessibility issues, it would be incredibly useful to me if I could find direct email addresses of software developers at various companies, as first-line support is often less than helpful.
This information is generally a matter of public record, as many people choose to reveal their email address in the commits they publish to GitHub and other similar services. However, those addresses are often somewhat hard to find.
Is there a service that can help with this, and that would let me query all public GitHub commits by email host?
I could probably do this myself, there are Github datasets on Bigquery after all, but I hoped something like this would be available somewhere?

The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.
Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.
What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.
Public systems should not require use of private services.

It seems time again to remind everyone not to use ARIA `menu` roles for web site navigation:

From a technical perspective, there is no such thing as “dropdowns”:

That imprecise terminology leads to more miscommunication between sales folks, designers, and devs than is necessary. Then weird stuff gets built from scratch instead of leaning on existing patterns.
You should dismiss articles that conflate the two.
I don’t think most people realize how Firefox and Safari depend on Google for more than “just” revenue from default search engine deals and prototyping new web platform features.
Off the top of my head, Safari and Firefox use the following Chromium libraries: libwebrtc, libbrotli, libvpx, libwebp, some color management libraries, libjxl (Chromium may eventually contribute a Rust JPEG-XL implementation to Firefox; it’s a hard image format to implement!), much of Safari’s cryptography (from BoringSSL), Firefox’s 2D renderer (Skia)…the list goes on. Much of Firefox’s security overhaul in recent years (process isolation, site isolation, user namespace sandboxes, effort on building with ControlFlowIntegrity) is directly inspired by Chromium’s architecture.
Interdependence for independent components can be mutually beneficial. For something to be part of Chromium, it needs to build and test with a battery of sanitizers and receive continuous fuzzing. Mozilla and Safari do something similar. All benefit from libraries getting patched to meet each others’ security requirements. Without Google, Mozilla and Apple must assume responsibility to maintain these libraries to a browser-grade standard.
I see many advocates for Chromium alternatives say the Web would be better without Chromium. That may be true, but Chromium alternatives may also be worse.
For completeness: Firefox and Safari’s influence on Chromium in recent years includes the addition of memory-safe languages, partitioned site storage, declarative content blocking (from Safari), and a vague multi-year repeatedly-delayed intent to phase out third-party cookies. Chromium would be no better off without other browser projects.

The next Nobel in Physics will be announced on Tuesday. Clarivate Analytics, the data analysis company, suggests the time for quantum computing has arrived and is saying that David Deutsch and Peter Shor could be the winners.
Curiously, although with fewer options, there's one Spanish physicist, Juan Ignacio Cirac, winner of the Wolf Prize, that appears among the favourites, also for his contributions in quantum computing.
Even if it's not the time of Cirac, there's another Spanish guy, Pedro Jarillo-Herrero, who was one of the discoverers of the magic angle of the graphene (that the graphene turns out to be a superconductor if you rotate 2 flat surfaces 1.1°).
Spain has never won a Nobel in Physics or Chemistry, and the scientific community here is longing for one. Even although Cirac and Jarillo-Herrero work outside (Germany and the US, respectively), if any of them wins, this could launch the science in Spain, with more support for research, more reasonable evalutions of merits and better conditions for young scientists. One can always dream.

In a move that absolutely no one asked for:
I am porting the Windows Vista/7 desktop Gadgets to Wayland with some GTK sorcery.
These widgets are actually zip files with web resources plus some metadata.
I got the Machine CPU and RAM stats working, along with some of Microsoft's weird JS API's.
It really sucks to be in a world where you have to choose between two vendors for the tools you must use to access most of your life, both of which have clearly stated they are actively working against both your best interests and the best interests of society. Of course, there's an alternative — various third parties, many of which are actively malicious and none of which are remotely reasonable choices when it comes to security, feature parity, or anything else.
Today this is about browsers, but the fact that I have to specify is its own problem.
Relearning modern HTML, and amazed to find that <a> tags have a "ping" attribute that just fire off an async POST to whereever you like when someone follows the link. Explicitly designed for tracking user activity, and has been in browsers since 2011.
According to MDN, Firefox is the only browser that doesn't send them by default. Not for any particularly noble reason, there's just an 11 year old open bug to finish shipping it and it's not done yet.

in reply to Jage • • •When the accessible description of the focused control changes, browsers are supposed to send a description changed event, with the expectation that a screen reader will convey the new description to the user. If I remember correctly, Chrome does but Firefox does not (or did) not.
Regardless, that's what you're hearing, so turning off ARIA alerts wouldn't help. NVDA should probably consider the modification of a description to be a dynamic content change, though. @pitermach @NVAccess
