@jensimmons There's been a long-running bug with Safari not rendering filter:drop-shadow() correctly. Do you know if this is on anyone's radar?
You can see weird rendering glitches by cycling through the demo options on the MDN page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/filter-function/drop-shadow
Many sites won't render them at all.
The concept is called induced demand, which is economist-speak for when increasing the supply of something (like roads) makes people want that thing even more. Though some traffic engineers made note of this phenomenon at least as early as the 1960s, it is only in recent years that social scientists have collected enough data to show how this happens pretty much every time we build new roads.
Something seems to have regressed with background-attachment:fixed behavior in Safari that makes scrolling really jittery.
This site, for example, used to have a smooth "wipe" transition between slides, but now jitters with every scroll: https://www.adamfishercox.com/_projects/safe-astoria/. Chrome still behaves correctly as a counterexample.
A pretty historic moment in The War on Cars.
please stop presenting using light mode as something worth mocking or a worse experience
very often light mode is an accessibility and readability feature
some people just can't read on dark backgrounds well for example
or need higher contrast in general
or just work in a high-brightness environment where light mode just works better for them
I've been getting a lot of those "your parcel couldn't be delivered" phishing attacks lately and if you're a human with a phone, you probably have been too. Just as a brief reminder, they look like this: These get through all the technical controls that exist at my telco and
