New bookmark: React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity.
“React and the component model standardises the software developer and reduces their individual bargaining power excluding them from a proportional share in the gains”. An amazing write-up by @baldur about the de-skilling of developers to reduce their ability to fight back against their employers.

“The reasons why use of the placeholder attribute as the only means of providing a user readable prompt for a form control is deficient UX, are voluminous. It is frustrating having to rehash this discussion endlessly.”

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke
"Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work."

I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
Thank you.
I talk a lot about how JavaScript is the most fragile part of the stack, and that it’s better to lean on HTML, CSS, and server-side languages when you can.gomakethings.com

It is an alternative expression of the Aural UI of the role of an element.
inappropriately using aria-roledescription may inhibit users’ ability to understand or interact with an element.
ARIA 1.1
The wrong way to use aria-roledescription and call out someone as a fascist:
code
<img aria-roledescription="fascist" src="dt.PNG"
alt="Donald Trump">
This is wrong because you are not identifying the subject of the image as a fascist, you are overwriting the <img> element role so it effectively becomes a <fascist> element. Also, there is no explicit text identification of the subject as a fascist.
A much better way to achieve the aim of identifying a fascist (and not misusing aria-roledescription):
Example of a fascist
code
<figure>
<figcaption>Example of a fascist</figcaption>
<img src="dt.PNG" alt="Donald Trump">
