Red Alert: DOJ Web Rule in Danger
Last June, I wrote about the growing threats to the DOJ’s ADA Title II Web Accessibility Rule. That warning feels understated now. If you care about the accessibility of state and local government websites, read on. There are credible rumors…

Looks like someone broke @… again

It's almost as if someone might be interested in people not remembering things from the past...

Peter Singer is a Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist.
It's his professional job to be good at ethics and teach others about ethics.
He thinks the best ethics are judged by the consequences, and that good is the best for the most people.
He has a podcast. It's probably great. He is cool. I only just heard about it.
But this is his website.
The podcast is offered on Spotify and Apple.
It has an AI chat bot that isn't even prompted well to sound like Peter for no reason at all.
It has a embed for a substack.
That embed for a substack is expired because it's run by a thing called Supascribe that is presumably some software as a service scam.
Below that is a cookie permissions banner which is asking for permission to spy on you for advertisers even though there are no actual adverts on the site.
There are links at the top and bottom to Facebook and Instagram.
There is no RSS feed embedded in the page.
I repeat: Peter Singer is actually pretty cool, and he thinks about ethics sanely.
This is the web we have built. Where a professional Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist does all this.

Alright my web friends! 👋 Hands up who has experienced a surge in (LLM) bot traffic recently and maybe even had to take steps against them? I’m writing a blog post about this atm and it would be great to hear whether others are experiencing the same with their #blogs and personal #websites.

Getting Started With The Popover API — Smashing Magazine
What happens if you rebuild a single tooltip using the browser’s native model without the aid of a library? The Popover API turns tooltips from something you simulate into something the browser actually understands. Opening and closing, keyboard interaction, Escape handling, and much of the accessibility now come from the platform itself, not from ad-hoc JavaScript.

This is a fantastic, factual, very technical, but readable and understandable breakdown of why and how every news website is bad UI design and decimates your device with tracking, negotiating, and modal pop up hell.
