In a functioning company, this is how it goes, from the perspective of a content moderator:
1. Oh no, the review queue has loaded a pretty sus looking video. You buffer to the midpoint and find that it's CSAM. A 15 minute timer has started in your head.

Forgot to add that my lawyers suggested getting my name copyrighted because the studio would try to own it because of the show.
They tried doing it w/Reba McIntyre but she owned hers. So I paid money I didn’t have to do it.
A WEEK LATER…the studio tried! I beat them by a week!

I had a sitcom I created about my life.
I was not the highest paid actor.
I was not the highest paid writer.
The show was named after me.
People ask why I haven’t done created another show.
Sometimes I get close but then remember how I was treated and I stick to stand-up.

Browsers use these surveys to prioritize implementations, so take it, and take it seriously! The time you spend filling this out will be an investment (plus, it’s fun!).

Two weeks left to take the 2023 State of CSS survey!
Every voice counts, and it's also a great chance to learn about new and upcoming CSS features all at once!

I'm going to relay a conversation I had irl about AI and ethics. My friend brushed aside the problem that LLMs have harvested the vast majority of their data from non-consenting or exploited people because, "the damage is done but the result is here. Why shouldn't we use it??" 1/

There are no words for how painful it is to see MDN chase this trend. I don't know if they're doing some kind of grift or got sucked into the shiny newness but the end result is the same: they're eroding years of trust and harming the people who trust them

MDN’s fake-AI asserts styles which visually hide content, when applied to`s::after` & `s::before, hides the contents of the `<s>` instead.
I added that example to this issue:

happy solstice, here's a thread on our universe--and how little we know!
For as long as humans have roamed the Earth, we have sought to find our place in the cosmos. From the city-states of ancient Greece to the soaring capstones of the Egyptian pyramids--

Forget CSS, people don't even know HTML.
Here's why I'm saying this: I've looked through demos made for last week's #CodePenChallenge codepen.io/challenges/2023/j… in order to get a better idea of how people want such a control to look and work.
And here are some numbers: 😭

Talked with a coworker about the diff between the change and input events for text inputs and found out that React has been mapping onChange to input events. It's the only framework doing so, from my testing. Why??
Input events are usually what you want but why rename it?

CSS nerds: how useful would it be to be able to use the current value of a length? Like
outline-width: min(0.125rem, current)
padding: calc(2 * current)
For width and height we have separate properties, and for font size we have em units but we get no reference to other lengths
