Hehe so true. It's hard to keep up with the passion! 🤩

It's so hard, isn't it? Death continues to be cruel, but love continues to give.

I loved all of your mum's advice. She sounds very humble and generous.

And we're not getting any younger. 😭

The best bit was when they rotated the Enter key. 😂

Yes there was some weird reason that I can't remember about how British army bases need to be able to view the UK version of the website as well.

No, they should only have my mum's cooking. You don't want to see the beige meal she cooked for me when I visited yesterday. 😂

It's going to be a key a11y feature for every website, so I hope I can have more opportunities to talk about it once it lands in the css-fonts specification.

It's surprising how much our websites (including the BBC's) really struggle with supporting increased text size.

Yes I like that. @lukewarlow.dev has just suggested that on the issue.

However, you wouldn't be able to use the if() with prefers-color-scheme, because it doesn't use the *used* colour scheme. We'll need a new type of container query for that.

Ah yeah of course. It's cyclic. We can't do that, then.

I'd love to hear your feedback! Should we be able to detect the used color scheme with a container query or a new pseudo-class?

@container color-scheme(dark) {
.header {
background-image: url("dark-bg.avif");
}
}

.header:color-scheme(dark) {
background-image: url("dark-bg.avif");
}
