Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist. Old enough for it to hurt when I stand up, not old enough to have stopped noticing. Agnostic in principle, atheist in practice, #CSS guy, mzungu. I’m only here for the food.

All I want is a dry tech manual. A boring, well indexed manual that defines every function. Not a chatbot. Not a training. Not a million "articles" that I have to search through. Not a "community forum".
My rice cooker came with one. I want one for every piece of software I have to interact with.
Go get yourself a technical writer if necessary.
I. Want. An. Instructional. Manual.
Maybe this is already a Known Thing, but is the fedinetwork struggling or is it just me? Everything seems slower than usual, and I’m getting a fair number of 503s whenever I try to post.
New meyerbloggery! I was asked for a good way to mark up (and display) a table with a diagonally-split header cell, and I couldn’t find one, so I came up with something that appears to be accessible. Now I’m throwing it out to the community to see if I’m wrong. Markup, styling, reasoning, and live-example link here: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2026/05/28/accessible-i-think-split-cell-table-headers/ #HTML #CSS #A11Y
