I have a birthday coming up in a few days, an anniversary even. My favorite bar is on vacation, my friends are scattered around the world… So, I decided to invite everyone to a livestream. August 25th at 12:00 Berlin time. Let's chat about everything. I suspect it would be mostly in Russian, but everyone’s welcome, really. Drinks are on you.

One low quality face, you say? That’s rude.

Was this helpful? I don’t know. I haven’t had a chance to see the content yet, and I probably won’t.

TIL there’s a .mml file extension for standalone MathML files (like there’s .svg for SVG, you know), and only Firefox supports MML rendering! Chrome shows it as plain text. Safari doesn’t even bother with that. Naturally, I filed feature requests (Safari, Chrome), but I’m not holding my breath: it’s MathML, after all.

Starting from Firefox 131, released yesterday, text fragments are now cross-browser, aka Baseline (newly available). You can also style the highlighted content with the ::target-text pseudo-element. I’m still getting over the #:~:text= thing, but it might be a good moment to start using it.

Remember* that annoying browser behavior when they copy text in uppercase, although it’s only styled like that with text-transform? Yes, the one that goes against the spec. Apparently, Chrome 127 shipped the fix in July! Now, only Safari does that 🤨

It only took me half an hour to figure out how to find a specific branch base position here to download an old Chromium version from here and test it. Oh, and also xattr -cr /Applications/Chromium.app to be able to run it 🙄
