I'm sitting with @andreu at Igalia, trying to find when the media attribute first appeared in #HTML. I'm fairly sure it pre-dates #CSS media queries, but by how much? Was it there from the start?
It seems like you (Mastodon) would be the best person to ask.

The worst thing about having a brain that tortures you is being utterly unable to explain to anyone else why you seem to willingly put yourself through such misery, when it appears you could simply walk away any time you wanted to.

It's *almost* like the pace of progress in the web is fundamentally gated by the staffing levels of the slowest, least-responsive popular browser?
And maybe we don't need to accept that trillion dollar companies are are skimming 95% profit margins from browsers? There might even be something better we could do with all that cash?
It's a theory, anyway.

You, most likely a reasonable and sane person, would likely ask, "wait—you deleted ALL your data!? For a game you've put over 100 hours into? OMG why? Why didn't you just stop playing that challenge? Or stop playing the game?"
Because my brain does not let me do that. I wish it did.

I just deleted all my save data for Balatro, because I've been compulsively spending all my time on its final challenge, for weeks on end, waiting for the perfect lucky run, and I finally decided I was never going to stop making myself miserable until I just didn't have the option anymore.
Ask me anything about the inexplicable way my broken brain fails to work

In 2022, Google settled a class action lawsuit for systematically underpaying 15,500 female employees.
It’s now Apple’s turn in the hot seat as they’ve been hit with a lawsuit for systematically underpaying 12,000 female employees.
Apple bases pay on people’s previous salaries or pay expectations which creates a systemic disparity as women tend to have lower values for these than men.

Ever wondered if #FedCM supports #authorization ? It's coming!
Starting in Chrome 126, you can sign up for an origin trial and try it on your domain with the Continuation API. Along with the button flow we've introduced in the previous announcement, FedCM based sign-in flow will become even more streamlined. There are a few more exciting updates as well.

I can easily imagine people, just at as brilliant as modern humans stumbling along for 100,000 years. You only get the tech your family knows— you are a rare endangered animal and very hungry and preoccupied with staying warm, finding food— other people from other groups are a mixed bag and huge risk. It must have been a slog.

"Margaret Hamilton talks about her experiences over the last 60 years and how a “theory of errors” was derived from the errors made along the way.

With a preventative paradigm, most errors aren’t allowed into a system in the first place, just by the way the system is defined."
