Google introduces the core (for now) Web Vitals for measuring page speed/performance.

web.dev/vitals/ Text Shot: Web Vitals is an initiative by Google to provide unified guidance for quality signals that are essential to delivering a great user experience on the web.
❝You can also report on each of the Core Web Vitals without writing any code using the Web Vitals Chrome Extension. This extension uses the web-vitals library to measure each of these metrics and display them to users as they browse the web.❞ #SEO

Plot twist: #Twitter labeling or otherwise flagging Trump’s tweets is “editorial conduct” & may make the platform vulnerable to lawsuits & other punitive federal restrictions via Executive Irder—i.e., Trump lashing out. (HT @schachin)

About Section 230:

❝…it signals the beginning of an all-out war between Trump and any platform that tries to fact-check him.❞

An interesting #accessibility development from Twitter: image alt text now exceeds the Tweet character limit by more than 3.5x: 1K characters! Finally you can describe images & GIFs in glorious detail—and hide your ranting such that only users with assistive devices will notice!
Here is a test of the 1000 character limit Twitter has introduced to the alt description of attached images.

I’ve included the text in the attached image in case you can’t view it on your device. As you can see, I have questions!

#twitter #accessibility Hi there, it's me, Rich Tatum! And this is the alt description containing the very text of the image I have screen captured and attached. That’s pretty meta, isn’t it? I guess that’s probably the most useful use case I can imagine: actually making sure that meme and text images can be fully transcribed into the alt description. I have no idea why I am writing such a long descriptive alt text for this image, other than I am testing out the massive 1,000 character limit. And I have quite a few more characters to go! Because at the end of this sentence, including the period, I will have clocked only 628 characters in total. Wow! Questions: Is the alt searchable on Twitter? I’ve never noticed alt text on the mobile app. How can we view them? If there is inflammatory, dangerous, hurtful text in the alt text, will the algorithms flag it? Will we be able to report abusive alt texts? What kinds of abuses would be actionable? Will Google/Bing index the text? Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
