Are you ready for WebKit 2023? Hold onto your hats…
@Cameo barely survived a zombie attack.
@mluisbrown I’m not super familiar with Streep’s filmography, but I did find a video of clips showing her doing a wide range of accents and dialects. Pretty impressive acting! Lynskey is on a whole other level though. She sounds unmistakably middle American when performing. I was so confused I had to rewind during the post-show.
Most shocking revelation from tonight’s The Last of Us: Melanie Lynskey is a Kiwi! (I’d only ever heard her do American accents.)
@mackuba it’s a dumb take but I don’t know if it will ever die as long as there are people with an interest in pushing it.
Interop 2022 did a lot to advance consistent, standards-compliant behavior among browsers. Check out this post for Safari/WebKit results on Interop 2022 (we went from last place to a near-perfect) and looks forward to the even more ambitious Interop 2023. https://webkit.org/blog/13706/interop-2023/

Have you ever heard of `:nth-child(n of <selector>)`?
It’s cool. It lets you count through `:nth` children for items with a particular class (or other selector). Here’s a demo: https://codepen.io/jensimmons/pen/mdjGmem/850199eb0f72fc70492fcfecea6867c9?editors=1100
And you can use `:nth-last-child(n of <selector>)` to count up from the bottom.
It’s been supported in Safari since 2015!

What might you use it for?
Trying out @ivory. Using Mastodon through the web has, UI-wise, felt like using Linux. Crowded layout, too many options. So I haven’t switched from Twitter as much as I’d like. After a few minutes of use, Ivory is much more the experience I’m looking for.
To be clear, I think the problem is in the Mastodon web UI, not the web itself. I happily use Twitter via the web.

Did you know every year on Jan 28 is Data Privacy Day?
To mark the occasion this year, Apple created this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HWUjMjaBJI 🤣
@Cameo smdh at the idea of an online event selling out.

@Cameo If the Acedemy chooses to beclown itself, that’s not my circus, not my monkeys.
@Cameo I’m still angry at this movie and this thread only made me more angry.
@steveax That was also once controversial. The other position being a prioritization of elegance and theoretical purity over the other considerations.
