added an actual working workaround in that issue thread, may rework it to a PR: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/42610#issuecomment-890379303

wasted a frankly obscene amount of time trying to debug a problem with a Rails app yesterday before I found out the root issue is a TWELVE YEAR OLD BUG IN FIREFOX https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/42610

plex sync quality

seems hacky and bad, but it seems to be nearly the only thing that will actually work

apparently the best/only way to have an HTML span with alternate screenreader text is to just use two spans, one visually-hidden (e.g. .sr-only or .visually-hidden CSS class) and another screenreader-hidden (e.g. aria-hidden="true" attribute)

@bookandswordblog ah in that case it makes more sense - in other cases I’ve generally seen these inscriptions without that

@bookandswordblog yeah, there are a lot of other genuine Nabonidus inscriptions, but none of the ones that I’ve seen look like they were freshly scratched into rock yesterday like this one

also it very much seems like it’s about to be pitched as aligning perfectly with modern nationalist boundaries and goals

there’s not enough information to actually go on, but the style and wear of the drawing looks nothing like I would expect for the time + region

speaking of fakes, I’m very unconvinced by this inscription that’s been circulating

I think this post may have finally cajoled someone into doing scientific material testing of this object 🎉 https://ryanfb.github.io/etc/2015/02/10/a_curious_metal_codex_in_the_baths_of_diocletian.html
