The Guardian have changed the headline for the *third time* today.
Screenshot of a headline on The Guardian website that reads:

“ Transgender
EHRC commissioner calls for
'period of correction' after legal ruling
Akua Reindorf said law never permitted self-ID, but trans campaigners call remarks 'profoundly unhelpful'”

Pictured are a group of trans people in a pride march, covered in flags and signs that say “trans rights now”

for people not familiar with Os Saltimbancos, it’s the Brazilian version of the Italian musical I Musicanti; it’s based in the tale of the Bremen musicians, turned into a communist allegory. Chico Buarque sneaked it into Brazil during the very anti-communist military dictatorship. it’s amazing.

there’s a portuguese expression, “pensando com meus botões”, literally “thinking with my buttons”, for when you’re introspecting / pondering things on your own i never used it, bc every time i thought of using it, my brain wanted to say “borbotões” instead of “botões”, and made me very confused

thinking about WCAG Guideline 3.1 – Readable... in 3.1.3 Unusual Words, one of the sufficient techniques is "linking to definitions". would having a unusual term's definition appear on hover in a tooltip-style, rather than linking away to a definition, be "un-semantic"?

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see the investors.
Builder.ai, the artificial intelligence startup that recently announced plans to declare bankruptcy, faked business with the Indian social-media startup VerSe Innovation for years to falsely inflate its sales, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg and people with direct knowledge of the practice.

The two companies routinely billed one another for roughly the same amounts between 2021 and 2024, documents reviewed by Bloomberg show, as part of an alleged practice known as "round-tripping" that the people said Builder.ai used to inflate revenue figures it presented to investors. In many cases, products and services weren’t actually provided to either company for these payments, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.Lead investors: Funding Rounds

Back when I was finding my feet in tech everybody was buzzing about building positive change. Somewhere along the way, something changed. Fortunately for us though, tech is not the first industry forced to defend itself against dubious practices. What might we learn if we were to look elsewhere?

How to build a copy-to-clipboard HTML Web Component
Yesterday, we looked at how to copy items to a user’s clipboard with JavaScriprt. Today, we’re going to turn that into an HTML Web Component. Let’s dig in! The Custom Element For this Web Component, let’s use a <copy-to-clipboard> element. <copy-to-clipboard> </copy-to-clipboard> With the HTML Web Component approach, we start with HTML and enhance it rather than rendering all the things with JavaScript. Let’s add a <button> with our desired text inside the custom element.

question about html headings and best practices / accessibility if i have <header> <main> then <footer> in my page, and the one <h1> element describing the page is inside <main> using a <h2> inside <header> to label the <nav>, doesn’t it break the principle of not using the headings out of order?
Avoid using multiple <h1> elements on one page:

While using multiple <h1> elements on one page is allowed by the HTML standard (as long as they are not nested), this is not considered a best practice. A page should generally have a single <h1> element that describes the content of the page (similar to the document's ‹title> element).Don't do this:

<h1>Heading level 1</h1>
<h3>Heading level 3</h3>
<h4>Heading level 4</h4>

Prefer this:

<h1>Heading level 1</h1>
<h2>Heading level 2</h2>
<h3>Heading level 3</h3>Sectioning content examples:

<header>
<nav aria-labelledby="primary-navigation">
<h2 id="primary-navigation">
Primary navigation
</h2>
<!- navigation items ->
</nav>
</header>

<!-- page content ->

<footer>
<nav aria-labelledby="footer-navigation">
<h2 id="footer-navigation">
Footer navigation
</h2>
<!-- navigation items ->
</ nav>
</footer>

the fact that you can’t use % values in figma number-type variables, nor use text-type variables in the line-height field, so it’s impossible to use variables with % values for line-height 🫠 the request for this in the figma feedback forum is 1 year old and has 143 replies 🫠
