After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.
It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.

I don't know who needs to hear this (me) but you don't have to mess around calculating an aspect-ratio in CSS.
Say you've got a Figma comp and the element is 500px wide and 280px high, the CSS is:
.my-element {
aspect-ratio: 500/280;
}Scales beautifully.

Good news from the Voyager 1 spacecraft that has been stuck sending a 0101 pattern since Nov 2023.
The team has long suspected the root cause to be a corrupted area of memory in the FDS computer. On Mar 1, they sent some commands to make the FDS skip around sections of memory. The data stream rcvd 45 hours later looked different and was decoded to contain a read-out of the entire FDS memory!
Hopefully, they can now identify and fix the offending memory words.
🤞

One of the best things I've ever done for myself is keep a "Warm Fuzzies" Notion doc, where I drop in screenshots of nice messages people have sent me or nice things they've said about my work.
I've been keeping mine about six years, and I wish I would've started a lot sooner. You'd be amazed how much you forget, and how much it'll still mean to you way down the line. Highly recommended.

Speaking of getting a blog post out 🙃
I had some thoughts about what I'd tell my younger self as I started my career as a web developer that wanted to advocate for accessibility and thought I'd share.
What would you have told yourself?

New on the blog: How We Fund the Web Ecosystem
On Tuesday (March 12th, 2024), @robin and @Meyerweb and I organized, led and scribed a session during W3C breakouts day about how we fund the web ecosystem…
Mastodon FeedEvery story in human history has one of these six basic plots:
1. An ordinary person wakes up in another world and has to save the kingdom.
2. He is the strongest fighter... but is his power really a curse???
3. These giant robots can be piloted only by children with unusual abilities.
4. Rival gangs rule the streets of Neo-Tokyo.
5. A clueless guy is obligated to live with multiple beautiful women, for reasons.
6. A shy/awkward girl learns to make friends.

We have to stop playing to morality Olympics with the social media platforms we use. It's creating weird factions that only benefit the big tech companies that own everything.
