Because they’re fucking weird? That feels like stalker behavior.

I only ever log in from an incognito tab.
And yeah, not worth knowing unless you want to see what it wants to scrape from you:

So many of these tools are just agglomerating worse outcomes than specialized algorithms (or tools) have done for decades. OCR is my favorite example simply because it’s so old and so absurd to get wrong with small countries’-worth of computing power.

I also appreciate that the tool is so bad at its job that it suggests you, the user, go look for OCR tools. Which kind of defeats the purpose of having an agent, I dunno, link to that shit for you.
Confidence then putting the burden on you when proven wrong, like a techbro GitHub commenter.

Granted, no guarantee they all support Section 504 nor that all will be accepted by this administration.

Oof.
Is there a public docket / case ID?

That was my question in the comments. If it named one, collusion seems likely. If not, then it may be simple incompetence.

Anyway, don’t forget this footbun against the backdrop of military parades and troop deployments to our streets.

Although today’s parade in #Buffalo certainly looks more fun (and better attended).

Also vaguely ironic that when I go to WebStatus•dev to check the chart behind that single image, it won’t render unless I allow Google Tag Manager to track me.

Turns out this came up in CSS MQ5:

And in the WebKit standards positions repo:

Which explains why this PR to implement it 2 years ago is dead in the water:

Web devs don’t give a shit:

Incidentally, the company unleashing a new wave of contrast problems on the web (see today’s Codepen Spark for liquid glass copycats) is also the company that seems uninterested in supporting `prefers-reduced-transparency`:

So, you know, stand for something now as opposed to later falling for everything foisted on you.

You may think that digital accessibility is unrelated, but I assure you that every successful effort to chip away at rights and protections will be followed by another.
Don’t wait until it affects you personally. Speak up. This is low-risk, so do it while you can.
