Vision for W3C, by @cdub and @tantek.com (@w3c):

https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/STMT-w3c-vision-20250729/

We need bridging, if the #W3C and groups like them are serious about rebuilding a humane web, then the #OMN path as much to offer, this fits into #OMN the Shared Origins and Intentions https://hamishcampbell.com/w3c-how-this-fits-into-omn-the-shared-origins-and-intentions/

The Vision for W3C has been officially published as a ratified W3C Statement: https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/STMT-w3c-vision-20250729/

As one of the editors, along with Chris Wilson (@cwilso.com @c@w3c.social), I’m both proud of this multi-year W3C Advisory Board (AB) effort, and grateful to everyone who contributed and gave feedback that helped improve the document.

Writing down and openly publishing our collective values and principles is an important step forward for W3C. We now have a shared reference to both guide our priorities and cite to help resolve differences in opinion (rather than having to appeal to authority).

The AB (@w3.org/wiki/AB @ab@w3c.social) has prioritized work on the Vision project for many years (https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/Vision), and personally, co-leading this project during my time on the AB has been inspiring, challenging, and a source of many lessons learned. Lots more to share on all that. For now, happy to take a moment to celebrate this milestone.

Just published: “Designing with Abstractions: CSS and the Case of Masonry Layouts”

This (academic) article explores CSS as both a technical system and a design object. It examines how this is shaped through negotiation between conceptual models, implementation constraints, and interface considerations, focusing on the Masonry layout debates.

Appreciation to those participating in CSS WG debates and making this work visible.

Le web est une infrastructure et sa longévité dépendra de sa résilience. @tidoust proposera les solutions pour le faire durer dans le temps : des référentiels, des boucles et du lien humain.

Ugh, now I have to decide if the @w3c is correct in it's standard that Lab A/B is defined as -125 to +125, or if implementations in Chrome and Firefox are correct that lab values go from -128 to +128.

So, 100% is still 125, but really in the model behind the scenes 100% is 128.

Grreeeaaat.

Nach dem ich etwa eine Stunde Lebenszeit an die statischen Website-Generatoren #Zola und #Pelican verschwendet habe – unerfolgreich, versteht sich – bleiben nun wohl ein #W3C-#Template und ein schnuffiger Editor für #HTML.

Bit stuck on this #lcms2 #LittleCMS2 profile conversion.

Here's the thing, I should be able to transform an xyz d65 color into an sRGB d65 color using relative calorimetric intent as the #w3c CSS Color Module 4 says.

But I keep getting different results for some of the inputs. Some of them come out the same though.

Clipping? Anyone done this before?

Me, when I'm working on a colleague's #project and see the #CSS #code.

Don't use "click here" as link text

When calling the user to action, use brief but meaningful link text that:
• provides some information when read out of context
• explains what the link offers
• doesn't talk about mechanics
• is not a verb phrase

I was just handed this old but beautiful essay and I can't agree more:

PNG-kuvaformaatti päivittyi isosti, ensimmäistä kertaa yli 20 vuoteen

Tärkeimmät uudistukset formaattiin ovat tuki animaatioille, exif-tiedoille ja HDR:lle.

Kenties vihdoin PNG syrjäyttää GIFit...?
