Somehow the release notes for the latest Safari Technology Preview missed the introduction of a native #HTML Switch widget via <input type=checkbox switch> ! It even supports accent-color and nicely animates when you toggle it.

Load https://codepen.io/Rik/pen/gOEYZgE?editors=1000 to give it a try.

The release notes do point out other nice stuff as well:
- @⁠scope
- vertical centering for block containers via align-content
- scroll anchoring

“The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide” -EFF

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/uk-government-very-close-eroding-encryption-worldwide

After reading this, I’m appalled that the UK government appears to be ignoring encryption experts with their Online Safety Bill and forcing the law through.

I’ve emailed all of the relevant representatives to give them my perspective. My message is in the comments in case you also wish to take action.

Contact Parliament about the OSB here: https://act.eff.org/action/tell-the-uk-s-house-of-lords-protect-end-to-end-encryption-in-the-online-safety-bill-9245a4fd-8ae0-4e46-a90c-ad64f743837e

I made this little viewport logger: https://viewport-logger.netlify.app/

I'd really appreciate it if you could visit it on your devices — especially small screens — because I want to use the data to illustrate just how much screen fragmentation there is.

Please share with your pals too!
