@mangonui08, @tamapotaka@ and @chrisluxonmp I would just like to congratulate the current government on again tainting NZ's world leading conservation image again, being included in a paper on the impacts on bottom trawling. transformbottomtrawling.org/…

Ok, CSS is in an awesome place these days. Was just playing around with an idea for competency tracking on Codepen (codepen.io/bytesnz/pen/RwXzB…) and it was so much less CSS with all the features we have today. Go CSS bytes.nz/c/css-is-awesome

Wondering where your spam is coming from? Using an unique email address for everything you sign up for helps and it's easy by using email sub addressing (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_…). For example, sign up to x with [email protected] if your email is [email protected].

What a disgusting world we live. Iran fires rockets, further raising tensions in the Middle East and this is one of the headlines

"We're the only species that knows about mortality" (source nature.com/articles/d41586-0…) @Nature, can we please stop publishing/publicizing these kinds of statement. Surely we know by now that animals are smarter than we give them credit for (for evidence goodreads.com/book/show/3023…)

Another stunning episode of #PlanetEarth3. Would prefer it didn't call the open ocean a desert though, but so many reason why we need to protect and stop pillaging the ocean. That's why I choose not to eat seafood.

Before I loose it again, one of the best references for creating accessible web sites is the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/. It has good examples of how to create some complex components like navigation with submenus & treegrids, as well as best practices.

@wonder95 Thank you for asking the question about a11y in JSJabber #611. I disagreed with Dan's hijacking of the term a11y for a wider accessible outlook. From the lack of answer to your question, I guess the answer was not much though I would love to know what the answer is...

you have bad contrast, disable tab focus styling or not put labels on your button icons, you've got bigger problems. The axe tools (deque.com/axe) are pretty good at finding issues. You should also experience your site through a screen reader...

my fav is NVDA (nvaccess.org/download donate if can). I do hope they do take a11y into amount more, but I imagine it would be tough to do.

@OutrageOptimism Nah, I've got no optimism left. The @UN, @COP28_UAE and the #COP process have achieved nothing but exhausting more CO2 so toothless politicians can expel hot air & stroke each others egos thinking they are doing something while the earth and people are dying.

... all while the greedy rich are getting richer not giving a damn about the environment, the poor and still poor, and endangered animals are being tossed aside so humans can keep expanding.

#WorldOceanDay. Why not take a couple a minutes from you day to immerse yourself in the sound of our ocean thanks to @docgovtnz youtube.com/watch?v=YYdexrbJ… This audio will lead you from the ocean to one source of fresh water — the mountains

How much of the Super Heavy's liquid methane was released into the atmosphere when it exploded @elonmusk? It can store 800t of liquid CH4, more than Andorra's CH4 emissions in 2019 (source data.worldbank.org/indicator… [times by 84 climatechangeconnection.org/…])

Good to see @jamespeshaw and @EugenieSage squeezing in some time during #SeaWeek to help out with some coastal restoration. @EugenieSage was a fountain of knowledge about the plants. You folks did miss the dolphins eating lunch at the same time we were. Magic #Wellington.

We ended removing 5 wool sacks of wild turnip and other weeds from Ōwhiro Bay

Was very sad to hear #Aotearoa make it into one of my favourite podcasts, @livingonearth, for the wrong reasons: the inhuman treatment by some of Pakake (New Zealand Sea Lions), even though they are endangered. loe.org/shows/shows.html?pro…
