#standards — Public Fediverse posts

Dev Class software development and cloud reporter Joab Jackson writes about how ridiculously low the HTML and CSS correctness numbers are for the web's top 5,000 most-visited websites. This results in accessibility breaking down, among many other dismal outcomes.

Something needs to be done about this, and pronto. An accessible web is a www.

"Almost nobody pays attention to web standards anymore"

87 Prozent der Top-Webseiten verletzen Standards und Accessibility

Viele der Top-Webseiten halten sich nicht an die Standards. Das kann zu Problemen mit der Barrierefreiheit oder der KI-Kommunikation führen.

So we kidna, sort of, almost agreed that USB-C is *the* connector/cable to rule them all. Yay!

Could we now please move one step forward and do standardised MagSafe-like USB-C? Would be sweet to not have 589 standards for this clearly useful thing. Asking for me.

(4/6) Govt also announced that the country's 3-letter code is changing from NRU for " #Nauru" to NRO for " #Naoero". However, world authority on country codes #ISO hasn't yet published such a change (it's normal for this to take months): https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:NR

(3/6) UN web page says #Nauru "informed the United Nations" of name change to #Naoero on June 26 (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states/naoero), but UN database seems to say it received notice July 6, for name change effective June 26 (https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en/view/d9b9e1d7-f1fa-4b1d-a396-b686c5c27806)

Jesse Lee: "Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche brought this wretched persecution of an innocent patriotic American, all to appease his client’s* pathetic ego, and he doesn’t have the tiniest ounce of remorse about it. He would do it again and again. He’s** a goon and should be disbarred."

AIs can be an easy target for being accused of "slop" (AI slop). We didn't even see any instances of social media posts saying "human slop". Human slop includes interpersonal abuse, retaliatory abuse with abuse, lack of empathy, xenophobia, classism, povertyism, discriminatory conduct, harmful psychological mindsets, antisocial behaviour, and the dark tetrad. Human slop.
