    An SVG inside <img> has always been a styling dead end: you can place it, but you can’t paint it. CSS Linked Parameters fix that in Firefox Nightly, so I traced Warhol’s Marilyn and repainted it nine times from one 50 KB file 🤓 pepelsbey.dev/articles/svg-l…
    Nine Marilyn Monroe portraits in a three by three grid, each in a different set of colors: pink and yellow, turquoise and orange, plum and navy, lilac and sky blue, magenta and orange, mint and amber, grey and slate blue, green and brick red, teal and magenta.

    Yay, with the 27.0.1 update, macOS is almost usable now! Well, apart from the “which one of the black boxes is the space you’re looking for?” game. It’s still there 🫠
    macOS System Settings showing the Software Update pane. An update to macOS 27.0.1 (3,31 GB) is available, described as providing bug fixes, with "Update Tonight" and "Update Now" buttons. The update is circled in red.

    Oh, I missed the first @webstandardsdev birthday! Apparently, if you publish news every day for a year, excluding weekends, it makes it 251 news 🤔 Still no mailing list, but there’s always RSS: web-standards.dev/feed/

    You don’t need initial-scale in your HTML. Declan Chidlow and Peter-Paul Koch published the same finding: the <meta name="viewport"> element only needs width=device-width, and Safari no longer needs the hint. #html #browser vale.rocks/micros/2026090… quirksmode.org/quirksblog/202…
    A meta name=viewport snippet with initial-scale=1 underlined in red, over two article pages titled “initial-scale no longer needed” and “You don’t need initial-scale in your HTML”.

    I’m cursed to see faux bold rendering when font-weight is cranked higher than the included font actually supports. I wish browser DevTools would flag it in the console. Makes me wonder if this could be caught by a linter 🤔
    Screenshot of YouTube Studio's channel dashboard with DevTools open, showing an arrow pointing to the 27.792 subscriber count, which renders with visibly poorly rendered digits. The Inspector panel shows applied font-weight: 700, while another arrow points to the @font-face that declares font-weight: 500.

    Now that most of the browsers are moving to a 2-week release cycle, expect: Firefox 200 in 2028 Firefox 300 in 2032 …and if I live long enough, I might see Firefox 1000 in 2059 😬 Firefox groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/… Edge blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2026… Chrome developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-tw…
