For those WordPress peeps who have thrown their hands up in the air and cursed the Automattic gods for not including an ARIA label in the search input field and, therefore, can't get a 100 on the Lighthouse Accessibility score, here is your solution. Add this code to your functions.php file, and rejoice! And don't worry, you can copy the code here: https://gist.github.com/henshaw/9f08e1ec5e1ce6cbe902e9b1a353b40b

Optical illusion where 3D boxes blink and appear to move the direction of the arrows inside of them. The boxes don't move at all but our brains make them appear like they do.

This is absurd and ridiculous. It sets a dangerous precedent for the open web and sharing of ideas. The focus is on Google and Meta, but this ultimately affects the indie developers and news-focused sites and services. It’s a link tax. It’s a horrible plan that will 100% backfire on these publishers and adversely affect their reach.

Journalism and its publishers are not in a good place right now, but this is not the answer.

It’s officially that time of the year again as it starts to hit 90+ degrees Fahrenheit when I start wearing my gaiter filled with ice around my neck when I trail run.

I noticed a mass profile migration from Calckey to @firefish this morning. I checked out their new server and noticed they support a Slack-like feature that allows multiple emoji reactions per post. I'd love to see something similar come to @Mastodon eventually.

This story has less to do with Google and more to do with the missuse of #GenAI and people having no clue how to optimize their ecommerce store properly for search. Most, if not all, of the "SEO" examples described in the article are broadly ineffectual. Also, there's nothing different today than there was a decade ago. There's thousands of businesses vying for visibility on a tiny amount of (screen) real estate. There will always be a large swath of losers, like IRL.

I'm considering adding this to my sites. Are there any other badges out there you've seen that you like or look promising?

@PleaseCaption is one of the best accounts on @Mastodon to follow. It privately tells you when you toot an image without a description, and I've appreciated it every single time.

I created @smallweb less than a week ago and it's already posted 4.5K blog posts from Kagi's RSS feed. That's impressive. Some people have told me that's too much, but so far I really like it in my personal feed. It's a constant flow of new and interesting articles from a diverse group of bloggers.

This article by @clive is how you can stay curious online and feed your creativity. There are several things he points out that I also do, including following those more obscure feeds.

As an act of therapy, I'm going through all of my articles on all of my sites and removing any link to Twitter, and also updating any reference to "Twitter" with "X (previously Twitter)"

I love my @Mastodon feed. I follow so many interesting people that post and boost interesting things. Every other platform is garbage and full of ads. I’m so happy I put l in the effort to engage and liberally follow people here from the outset. And I’m an example of someone who is on a one-person instance that is fully connected to the fediverse and what it has to offer.
