Please do not use auto-scrolling content on the web and in applications | Bogdan on Digital Accessibility (A11y)

Perhaps well-intended, the auto-scrolling content can be a real nightmare for multiple groups of users. I've done a mobile app audit and turning on screen reader exposed quite a messy experience - and yes, web can suffer from the same issue.

Slack managed to bloat a simple "Oops, page not found" message into a full-blown, 57MB symphony of redundancy 🎶, proving once again that over-engineering is the true path to digital enlightenment 🤖. With more links than a chain mail sweater and less utility than a chocolate teapot, their 404 page is a masterclass in how not to web design. Bravo, Slack! 👏

🇩🇰✨ The Danish Ministry's grand plan to go open-source is more of a "tech makeover" 🎭 than a revolution, but hey, at least they’re finally ditching the #WordArt in favor of LibreOffice's clipart gallery. 🖼️💾 Why pay Microsoft when you can pay 1 kr for digital enlightenment? 🧐🤷‍♂️

Perhaps this is what Schopenhauer meant by "thinking for oneself" and Immanuel Kant by "exit of humans from their self-inflicted immaturity".
