I thought driving license is driving license. Do you actually need a specific NYC license?

In order that agents can understand your site it must provide structured machine readable content and validate to W3C standards. Beside that a schema will also be very useful.

I don't think a petition will do it — direct action will [wink wink] — but worth signing to send a message at least petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

It’s so valuable attending Computing’s quite intimate annual IT Leaders Summit at One Moorgate. Shared insights without that vendor fluff on global technology challenges, workforce and societal obstacles makes it a truly inspiring event.

A.I. is not just drinking our water, but warming it up, warming up our oceans, slowly cooking its inhabitants, heating up our planet, letting it burn … 🔥

Penpot has to be very careful about about #NoCode A.I. integration as it’s still not capable to generate quality markup to W3C standards.

Michael R. Lorek @onlinedesign.bsky.social · Aug 16

I can’t wait to see W3C markup validation after code generation …

Michael R. Lorek @onlinedesign.bsky.social · Aug 16

Whatever the approach, the litmus test will be W3C markup validation before shipping.

The real terrorists are those who call others ‘terrorists’.

Apparently A.I. isn’t capable to create websites that validate to W3C standards, not to speak about fixing validators listed warnings & errors.
