It looks like so much fun! Keep us updated 🤩

Yeah.. Generating code is getting "cheap", while comprehending and maintaining that code is not. They're dumping that cost on you.
I don't really know how to deal with this new reality.
I have sendt these requests "higher" up, to make the cost visible and to let managers decide whether it's something we want to take on.

Thanks. It took some time but I figured it out. Got to the spaceship. 😀
This game is too real.
You try your best, and then you wake up in your bed again and have to do it all over 😆

I need someone to fix our fridge, that somehow decided to break down..
It's unfair how the appliances are allowed to break down after only a few years, but we have to keep going 😄 🙈

For sure..
I would keep them busy 😆

Oh noes 😞
I wish there was a department of overload or something, that you could call to come and fix things when there's just too much adulting.

Finally getting to read Tim’s This Is For Everyone. One of the more calming things I have done lately.
I’m listening to vinyls, reading books and taking Polaroids. Wonder if this is the counter-reaction to anything? 🤔😅
I ditched most social media long ago. I’ve stopped most streaming. I’ve dropped online news due to the new pay or loose your privacy models.
Very much online still 🙈

Something is indeed cooking. 😀
The Declarative Partial Updates proposal will hopefully get us halfway there.

Would love an <include>. So much JS and server side code, just to include some markup.

Your talk was wonderful! I’m so glad I got to see two of your talks in one week 🥳
I love how you remind us that many of our assumptions about users are wrong, like that it’s easy to think that screen reader users don’t care about light and dark mode. 🙏
I have a feeling that you will have to come back and hold another version of that talk later if we get more color-scheme things 🤩

See you there! I’m also missing out on the workshop, but would have loved to join!

Reminds me of how my friends would laugh at the "Din fart" and "Fartshumper" signs in Norway 😆
(Fart is Norwegian for speed)

Thank you for sharing 💜
> Little differences can place us just outside of the mainstream of people who get on well in this world. The differences can be technically small, but they can compound under the pressures and stresses, and get in the way of our chance to thrive, rather than just survive.
This is so relatable. I’m starting to wonder if anyone at all are thriving in this world 🙈😅

I’m sure it will be. Looking forward to it 😀

Thanks, that is def interesting 🙏
I need to switch sources for `<picture>` and `<video>` element based on the used color scheme.
It needs to work in html before css has loaded, so I think either reusing `prefers-color-scheme` or speccing a new media feature like `used-color-scheme` would be necessary. 🤔

2025-08-28 05:48:52 UTC

There's discussion on letting `<meta name=color-scheme>` have effect on the `prefers-color-scheme` media query again. 🚀
This would allow us to use the media query to select appropriate images based on the _used_ color-scheme on the page.
This would be very useful, as it is not possible to provide media sources that match the color scheme today.
I don't care whether we reuse `prefers-color-scheme`, or if we create a new meda feature like `used-color-scheme` though.

I'm building a form with a currency input, and I'm stumped that `<input>` still doesn't have support for prefixes or suffixes, not to mention formatting.
Fortunately @npub1al7…kh5q has opened an issue over in the WHATWG html repo with a thorough description of the use case 🙌
