I've moved to Mastodon and won't be posting here for the foreseeable future.

@mipsytipsy This kind of thinking is what leads to web apps full of clickable div elements and no use of semantic HTML at all — and if you view if from the other angle, it probably also leads to slow, nonoptimal DB queries.

Specialist-driven development might be slower, but it's better.

@d__raptis By "sick" you mean that there's something wrong with it, right? As in, it doesn't work with keyboard navigation....

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@dbushell For some reason it at least keeps me on the "Following" tab, but I know it randomly switches other users.

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@dbushell Sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but the answer is: you don't.

@_munter_ @auchenberg This started way before smartphones and apps. This started with "My Computer", "My Music", "My Downloads" etc. — I had an intern 10 years ago that didn't understand the file system, because she never had to use it before.

@hackSultan 2000: £20k p/a — and I felt RICH!

@jaffathecake Just insert this.

(Also, my alt attributes are on point)

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@webkit Please explain to me how I, using keyboard only, select multiple <option> elements inside a <select> (that has the "multiple" attribute obviously).

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@adambsilver Oh well 🥲

Dear @filamentgroup — is there any chance you can revive your RSS feed?

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@russmaxdesign I never knew this, thanks. I think I've always used that order just because it makes sense, but that it's actually part of the spec is somewhat surprising to me :)

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@russmaxdesign reading this (https://t.co/SUlPuLIS5F) — why is it that <label> must be placed __before__ text inputs but _after__ radio/checkbox inputs?

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@Amy_Hupe Put it on top of your Macbook and boot Slack and Chrome at the same time. That should do the trick. Adjust temperature by opening/closing tabs.

@JoshWComeau I prefer to use `vertical-align` to fix this issue as I don't want to change the image's (or container's) display model unless necessary.

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@JoshWComeau It could also be because the number is clearer on that image.

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

@snookca That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

[Kim Johannesen @overflowhidden]

I shouldn't laugh, but come on...
