@genehack most of them don’t know they mean CGI. They weren’t there when the deep magic was written.

bsky is the best place to stay freshly depressed about current events so at least that gap from Old Twitter has been filled.

@shadowspar I need to tune it, for sure. I misguidedly followed a bunch of news-ish accounts early on.

Went off a bit about Web accessibility in a job interview the other day. This morning I was thinking my site could be better, for all my supposed enthusiasm.

Fixed contrast issues and added a skip-to-main link for screen readers and keyboard-based browsing with the Tab key.

Feeling better about myself. Some other things to fix, but I’m good for now.

@WuMargaret what upsets me is the number of frontend devs who’ve never heard of WCAG.

@MishaVanMollusq Yes indeed! There’s a whole chunk of soul, psychobilly, and weird country in my favorite albums that wouldn’t even have occurred to me to notice if not for Mojo Nixon.

@MishaVanMollusq I mean

I am disappointed. But at no point did Mojo ever give the impression he was going to live forever. Vaguely surprised he didn’t just burst into flame once his body could no longer contain him.
