The dirty secret of "A.I." prompts is that if anyone who believed in them just wrote the same prompts for themselves, they'd learn something enduring in following through and actually make things they could be proud of.

If you use the #Vivaldi browser and keep closing tabs whiles trying to switch to them, I may have found a solution.

The TLDR: it's so easy to close tabs because the close button is large and appears on hover over the site's favicon, which is a natural target when clicking to select a tab. It can be mitigated by changing settings to make the button appear permanently on the right.

One final oddity: using spatial navigation (spatnav) in Vivaldi triggers an additional focus indicator specific to spatnav, which is a red box-shadow. This persists on focus if you switch to tab navigation, but if you click away and only use tab navigation, the spat nav style disappears. #vivaldi #accessibilty I am not sold on spatial navigation.

In the dénouement, we learn that tab navigation of links (and not just buttons and form controls) can be enabled in Vivaldi by going to >Settings >Webpages >Webpage Focus and selecting "Focus All Controls and Links."

I think this should be the default. #accesibility #a11y #vivaldi

I like #Vivaldi, but I'm really not enjoying spatial navigation. I made a simple list of dummy links and tried to traverse them with spatial navigation, and the results are bizarre. If moving down a list of links, it traverses down from the end of the visual anchor, skipping a line if it is shorter than the next. Traverse up, and it will skip an item that has been moved to the right. #accessibility #ally Here's a quick and dirty demo. https://cdpn.io/pen/debug/vYogwRp/699f9f0c6dffd18c6e553a8f5d2ecb37

Is it just me, or is #Vivaldi impossible to navigate by keyboard? Anchor tags with a valid href are supposed to be natively accessible, but they only work for me if tabindex=0 is added. Form controls and buttons work as expected. @Vivaldi #accessibility #a11y I'm on MacOS, running 6.9.3447.54 (Stable channel) (arm64)

One of the weird things about the death of Twitter many years ago and the ensuing diaspora is that I no longer feel connected to a lot of things. All of my one-way para-social social media relationships scattered into different services or just disappeared. I'm on Bluesky to follow one cartoonist and Mastodon to keep tabs on web dev and design. I'm on Facebook for the fan community around one band. Decentralization is noble, but I do miss the simulacrum of community.

Quick example: you're working on a legacy site with essential information in sidebars that work on big desktops. Those sidebars usually get kicked out of view, below the "main" content in smaller viewports. How do people deal with what you might call the semantics of the frame? The hierarchy not just of the elements among themselves but communicating on the page its relation to other pages, to its parent? Or essential information that people may be there to find but that isn't strictly "main?"

One of the things I spend time thinking about (fruitlessly) is the ontology of web layout. I'm sure I'm just missing the good conversations and sources out there, but I get frustrated and a little down about it.

Oh, silly software user. You don't download images directly in Teams! You simply:

1. right click on the image in Teams,
2. select "Open in Browser," and then
3. click "Download" in top menu bar on the page in your web browser.

It's called design!
