Yes, each related post should have one link. I don't know what the view might look like but if the related post thumbnail image is small, I agree with treating it as a decorative image with an empty alt attribute.

If the image is not so small, if it's large enough that most […]

This is Wordle-specific but another idea is to use wa11y.co to convert the emoji patterns into text so the results are more understandable and not so annoying for screen reader users.

Wordle 1,606 4/6

Line 1: 3rd correct but in the wrong place.
Line 2: 3rd and 5th correct but in the […]

A malicious person being able to do bad things with it is no reason for other people to not use it in intended ways.

If a site's design calls for modal, it should be made with a and `.showModal()` (or `command="show-modal"`).

You could keep using alt and set the `img` color and background-color the same.

Oh, I was recently looking for that, I only had a broken link and a messed up version in the Wayback Machine.

So you disagree with their choice to assume unchecking "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" means you don't want to be included in a starter pack?

I would expect people who do or don't one of them would feel the same about the other.

This one is best for entering two colors and getting the WCAG contrast ratio. It supports all web color formats and alpha channels including background colors with an alpha channel. For backgrounds with alpha, the big number assumes the color behind the background color is a 50% […]

Did you find a solution to the quoting bot issue? This quote post came through.

I've heard of people getting citizenship based on a grandparent emigrating from a country (I think Ireland does), I've never heard of one allowing it for great-grandchildren of emigres, have you found ones?

Mastodon released support for displaying quote posts well ahead of support for creating quote posts. I think your instance needs to be on Mastodon v4.5 or newer to create them.

Yes, like "Hoover."

The generic name for it in the U.S. and Japan is acetaminophen.

Handy when you need a solid background image.

```CSS
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
.white-bg { background-image: url(data:image/webp;base64,UklGRhYAAABXRUJQVlA4TAoAAAAvAAAAAEX/I/of);
}
}

The Control Center settings has previously had an option to add Accessibility Shortcuts to the Menu Bar and/or the Control Center.

should mainly be for using different images for art direction but it's also the solution for providing different file formats, right?
