If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

Excitingly, Chrome Canary recently added support for <meta name="text-scaling"> behind a flag.

What is it? It's something that we're all going to start using on our websites to improve accessibility. Here's a blog post with more info. https://www.joshtumath.uk/posts/2026-01-27-try-text-scaling-support-in-chrome-canary/

This is an exciting milestone for me, because it's something I proposed at the CSSWG over a year ago. Thanks to David Grogan in the Chrome team for working with me to make this happen!

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.

desperate business? experimental feature in VSCode to show you how much you rely on AI and convince you it's good, actually? (unsurprisingly, the little stats bar it kept showing up for the past few days has remained at 0% for me because fuck AI) #SocialPermissionToBurnEnergy #AI
