I’m kinda mad at people who started a Mastodon account for crossposting from Twitter but then just gave up or forgot about it. And, of course, I unfollowed them on Twitter and followed on Mastodon to spend more time in a much nicer place. Now I’ve lost a bunch of people, and they’re probably already on Bluesky or whatever 🙄

I don’t think anyone expected that, but I planned a live stream on my Russian-speaking channel on May 21 at 12:00, Berlin time 🥸 Let’s chat! Front-end, keyboards, how’s life, and everything else. See if I remember how to do it 😅

Everything is ready for the live stream tomorrow!

Yes, But (web platform edition) for my new Baseline talk. Inspired by Yes, But

You can scope styles inside of the parent with a <style> and a @scope rule 😳

<div>
  <style>
    @​scope {
      p { color: red }
    }
  </style>
  <p>this is red</p>
</div>
<p>not red</p>

See the CSS Cascading and Inheritance L6 draft

It’s not just a fantasy, it already works in Chrome Canary. Thanks to Roma Komarov for the tip!

But at the same time, the <style> is not allowed inside of the <body> by the HTML spec:

4.2.6 The style element
Categories: Metadata content

See issues:
— Style tag should be allowed in body
— Reconsider making <style> in body valid

I think WHATWG and CSSWG need to talk 😅

I’m heading to CSS Day in Amsterdam tomorrow. Super excited to see a bunch of like-minded people 😍 Also, on Saturday, I’m giving a talk at CSS Café on the Baseline project. If you see me, come and say hi 👋

One day I’ll stop confusing Wednesday with Thursday 🥴 I guess, I hear Third in Thursday and this mixes up everything. Just call it Fourthday already! 🙄 Until then, I'll keep getting into trouble. My appointment is tomorrow, dammit!

It took exactly two months for German bureaucracy to allow me to change workplace 🥲 I’ll finally start working again on June 26 at Virtual Identity. I might need to learn again how to do it 🤔

Just a quote from some spec repository I’d like to co-sign:

> Prettier tends to make some ugly formatting for HTML, so it's still excluded

Went to the Indiana Jones movie yesterday, the original version with German subtitles. The movie was all right: too many CGI faces to my taste, but Phoebe Waller-Bridge saved it. But the thing I remembered the most is the word “Fallschirm”.

So, imagine the scene: a plane full of Nazis is falling down the sky (you know, typical Indy Jones). And I see the “Fallschirm” word in the subtitles. I have no idea what it means, but suddenly time slows down, and the word “Regenschirm” pops up in my mind.

Regen… schirm… an umbrella. Fallschirm? A parachute? Yes! 🤯

There are only 5 days left to fill out the State of CSS 2023 survey. I can’t stress this enough: you only get to moan about the Web platform going in the wrong direction and browsers not implementing what you need if you submit it. Don’t blow your chance!
