For the first time, I actually read an AI summary from a web search I made. I've avoided them until now, but my eyes glanced and took in the gist before I could blink.

It was on a topic I am a certified consultant in; I was just refreshing my memory. And it answered that the product worked in the way the customer wanted it to rather than the way I thought it did, and cited documentation and support forum links as the sources for that answer.

I checked them. It was wrong.

God I fucking hate this bullshit.

Can't wait for all the orgs to fire everybody after buying generative AI tools and discovering about glue people the hard way.

Hey #WebDev's! Stop. Fucking. With. Scrollbars.

I shouldn't have to disable style declarations if I want something that I can actually click on and move. #a11y #UI #UX

tldr is, with “views”, we can apply WCAG to more than just web pages. Which is useful, as regulators cite it for more, incl apps and kiosks. The idea is you'd be able to choose between using pages or views depending on what kind of product you're looking at.

任何「展示」的真正價值在於揭露「利害關係存在衝突的情況下，當事者最終取捨的優先順序」。

A while ago, I posted about “views”, a new definition we've been working on at AGWG, the group that makes WCAG.

Good news, we resolved on using a specific definition (draft). Updated my post to explain: https://hidde.blog/views/#heading-5

thanks to all who chimed in, and specifically the efforts of co-chair
@alastc to make this happen

Views on views

Web pages hold us back. What about views?

Now that WeTransfer is training its "A.I." on your files, I recommend using wormhole - which is end-to-end encrypted https://wormhole.app
