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

The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide

The U.K. Parliament is pushing ahead with a sprawling internet regulation bill that will, among other things, undermine the privacy of people around the world. The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services, which will destroy end-to-end encryption. No amendments have been accepted that would mitigate the bill’s most dangerous elements. If it passes, the Online Safety Bill will be a huge step backwards for global privacy, and democracy itself.

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!

🚨Edit: this is now closed. Thanks everyone: we got > 100k datapoints!

@sg very cool demo! Not sure if you’d classify this as a11y or not but on my iPhone if I e.g. select & copy oreos I get: “OOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEOOOOOOOSSSSSSS”

@andykirk thanks for doing this, I’ve been meaning to watch some of them but have been struggling to find the time. This sounds perfect!
