Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 was published as a W3C Recommendation web standard on October 5, 2023.

According to the World Wide Web (W3) site:

WCAG 2.2 was initiated with the goal to continue the work of WCAG 2.1: Improving accessibility guidance for three major groups: users with cognitive or learning disabilities, users with low vision, and users with disabilities on mobile devices.

This is huge news for anyone who creates websites, digital services, or mobile applications, or if you simply care about making the internet more accessible in general.

While working with TypeScript and FileList you may get the TypeScript error Type ‘FileList’ must have a ‘[Symbol.iterator]()’ method that returns an iterator.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has published EN 301 549 v3.2.1, which is the harmonized European standard for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) accessibility.

This standard aims to ensure that ICT products and services are accessible to people with disabilities, aligning with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It covers a wide range of devices and services, including websites, mobile apps, and software, among others. The standard is designed to promote equal access to digital technologies, supporting individuals with various types of disabilities, such as visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments. By adhering to this standard, organizations can enhance the inclusivity and usability of their digital offerings, contributing to a more accessible digital environment for all users.

The Act is a Directive, which means it sets binding accessibility goals upon ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities but leaves it to the Member States of the European Union to decide how they want to achieve them. It was implemented in 2019 and completes and complements existing accessibility-related EU laws.

Images and other assets you have in your assets folder that you reference in Angular templates are not hashed, and we are going to solve that problem.

Custom fonts impact performance through delayed text rendering and layout shifts. This is because they have to be downloaded and the layout must be repainted again. When a visible element on your website changes size or location, it might have an impact on the position of the content surrounding it. This is known as a layout shift.

Note that if a web font has not loaded, browsers typically delay text rendering.

Can we remove files from the /var/log/journal folder? Yes, indeed. It’s completely fine as long as you don’t require the logs for troubleshooting.

OpenAI has released GPTBot, a new web crawler designed to boost future artificial intelligence models such as GPT-4 and the upcoming GPT-5. According to an OpenAI blog post, using GPTBot has the potential to improve existing AI models in areas such as accuracy and safety.

Web pages crawled with the GPTBot user agent may potentially be used to improve future models and are filtered to remove sources that require paywall access, are known to gather personally identifiable information (PII), or have text that violates our policies. Allowing GPTBot to access your site can help AI models become more accurate and improve their general capabilities and safety. Below, we also share how to disallow GPTBot from accessing your site.

Sometimes you want to pause and resume executing event handlers. We may describe it that way: while step one isn’t done, step two is unavailable. JavaScript doesn’t have this functionality out of the box, but there is a way to mimic this feature.
