TIL crows, starlings and similar birds only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯
Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”.
Some colors just require different eyes.

Do you delegate web security to security specialists or are you responsible yourself for implementing web security features and practices?
The W3C SWAG CG survey asks this and other questions and we would value your input as we create Web Security documentation.
Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of developers & other people wish that uBlock Origin was available for Safari. Now it is! Download for Safari 18.6 and Safari 26 beta.
There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults. It only took 30 years!
First will be the chance to style the “in-page” controls (the part embedded in the webpage), plus the popover for <select> (the part that appears “over top of” the page). Later we’ll do popovers for more things — like the date picker, etc.

🔐 TIL if you squeeze the volume and on/off button on your iPhone (when locked) it will temporarily turn off biometric authentication (e.g FaceID, TouchID), requiring passcode to unlock.
Good to remember if you’ve ever got a cop or overzealous airport security wanting to go through your phone
How we work on the web is constantly changing. "Best practice" means something entirely different every 5 years or so (depending on who you ask 😉).
@stegrainer has written a wonderful post on how things have shifted over the decades: "The Wax and Wane of the Web" 💯

Friends! I like eating meat and potatoes like a true Austrian farmer boy, but I want to eat less of it this year. What are your favorite vegetarian dishes? Like the ones that really feel like a meal.
Python folks, if you were a person learning Python and wanted to build a web app (mostly consuming API data and doing stuff with it), which framework would you use? Bonus points for friendliness to someone coming from PHP, and something that represents good practices.
This is for me, I've been learning a bit of Python so want to build something useful mostly to me, but partly as a learning project as I learn best by building things.

LEGO is doing a Dune set and the Baron minifig is hilarious
Bloody hell some websites have the most awful cumulative layout shifts.
Even when you hold off tapping or clicking for a couple of seconds (we're used to doing that hold now, this jank is everywhere), or even 5 seconds, and you finally think "surely everything must have loaded by now", then you go for it and NOPE away goes your intended target, and some other link, button or active damned div has moved itself to the exact place your finger strikes the screen.
Fooooorrrr fuuucks saaaaaaake
