Mastodawn

I hope there is a very special hell for people who break into rooms of little projects that are underfunded and try to do their best to help kids in their community. So much money wasted, so many people burned out just because of a few assholes who try to find valuable things where there are none.

Dear everyone! It would be wonderful if you could mark links to paywalled articles as such – something simple like “($)” is more than good enough. Maybe we can make this part of the quiet Mastodon etiquette?

It is super frustrating to get a link to an article that sounds interesting, go there, click away the cookie banner,* then click away the newsletter popup, finally start reading and then the text fades out.

* I am aware there are tools for that.

When initializing an `Image` with a `size` and a a `renderer`, the resulting image is not consistently re-rendered when the `Environment` changes its `colorScheme`.

I’m curious: Did people/apps ever attempt to bundle alt text with the image as metadata? (Like EXIF?)

That feels like the right place to put it, so then it could be read by apps/browsers, and also travel with the image on save etc. Rather than specifying it as out-of-band text like we do today.

Björn Ottosson - making Island Architect 4d ago

Here's a quick peek at the new lighting in Island Architect! Feels really nice to see the lighting react as you build houses, edit the terrain or watch time pass. The new solution has bounced lighting and reflections, all without relying on ray tracing hardware.

"SwiftUI is accessible by default" is one of the most repeated misconceptions in iOS development. I've heard it in conference talks, accessibility reports, and job interviews. It's not true.

First post on Mobile A11y in 4 years. Felt like a good one to come back with. Hope you enjoy it.

No, SwiftUI is not “Accessible by default”

"SwiftUI is accessible by default" is one of the most repeated misconceptions in iOS development. Here’s why that’s wrong and what you actually need to watch out for.
