tfw you know more effort went into aligning the input and container border radii than 90% of the underlying infrastructure
The America.gov landing page chat input with 100% rounded corners, placed in a square container whose borders match the curve. Inside the square is a stock photo of a man on an escalator. Above it is the headline, "Hello, America." and a subhead of "Whatever you need from government, start here." Cropped screenshot.

"Authoritarian, conservative, and reactionary networks have been among the principal drivers of the surge in distrust, conspiracism, and anti-scientific sentiment." Yes: contemporary polarization is driven by a deliberate campaign to destroy trust in core institutions & epistemic standards.

It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.

Building Static Site Infrastructure for Whatcom
Why static websites work so well for civic information A site like https://whatcomhealthcarealliance.org/ is a good reminder that not every important website needs a complicated stack. It can be a simple, fast, reliable place where people can find the information they need without friction. That is one of the strongest arguments for static websites: they make it easier to put clarity first. Static websites are often described as minimal, but that is not a weakness. In public information, a minimal approach is often exactly what makes a site trustworthy and usable. A static site can be built around clear writing, well-structured pages, and a straightforward path to the answers a visitor is looking for.

I think some sort of continued managed retreat from the web is in order for me. It used to occupy a bigger slice in my mind, Still into some techno stuff, still relatively into more web than many, just reducing my exposure.

We’re about halfway through the first run of Multipage #2: IMAGES, and I’m probably only doing the one re-issue of #1: HEADINGS — grab yourself a copy of each while you still can, and help out @translifeline.org at the same time! multipa.ge

WELCOME TO MULTIPAGE VERSION
A zine about HTML elements

FROM THE EDITOR

Alright. Here we go. The images issue.
Deep breaths.

WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
This is the images issue.
SO?
That's like my entire deal.
YOUR "DEAL" IS IMAGES?
I mean, yeah, kind of. Images are in the
top three things that are my deal, easy.
Images, Mega Man 2, and some third thing,
probably.
WHY?
Because images might be the only thing
we’ve managed to fuck up worse than
headings, and we don’t even have the
excuse of a eternally-broken standard.
Good ol' `img` fires off a request for an
image source and puts it on the screen
with staggering efficiency, and it makes a
text alternative available. Worked great
for decades. It still does!
The first half, well, it's fast, so
whatever; may as well cram a huge PNG-24
down the pipe because we vaguely remember
hearing that a PNG doesn't "have
compression," and "compression" probably
looks bad, we bet! Besides, what's four or
five megabytes between friends?
Meanwhile we fully biffed the second half
of what it does; just, couldn’t be
bothered to do it. Enjoy hearing those
filenames, users browsing via assistive
tech.
NO YEAH NOT GREAT
Ah, but unlike headings, image standards
evolved to meet the changing times! You
see, `img` wasn’t up to the task of
delivering sources optimized for a
responsive layout, so through the hard
work and selfless dedication of a whole
crew of brilliant designers and developers
and the strikingly handsome Chair of their
web standards group—
OKAY DIAL IT BACK
—we got all manner of amazing new
standards that allowed `img` to keep on
doing what it did best, but with
brilliantly optimized—
STILL PRETTY BRAGGY
Well, I didn't come up with it. A bunch of
people way smarter and more talented than
I am came up with it all. I just got them
together and, like, printed up stickers
and t-shirts and posted about it and
stuff.
AH SO THIS IS YOUR THIRD "DEAL"
"This?" "This" what?
