Powerpoint tip: getting custom shapes as image frames is tricky.

• Import a svg and convert it to shapes
• place a Picture placeholder in Master edit mode
• then use pathfinder operations under Shape format to combine it with your imported custom shape -> Merge Shape. Here I used ”intersect"

The ARIA tooltip role is functionally useless and semantically meaningless. The only legitimate use-case for tooltips is to show information that’s already accessibly defined. So tooltips only benefit sighted users, and are therefore presentational.

That’s my conclusion, and here’s how I arrived at it:

Growing up in the "golden age" of home computers (1980's - 1990's), I miss when I could just sit down and to do my thing without being constantly distracted by:

- Unwarranted tooltips (Hello, Microsoft)
- Ads embedded in software (Hello, Chrome)
- Other UI clutter (Hello, most proprietary commercial software)

Van alle AI-tools is Claude één van mijn favorieten. Zeker omdat Artifacts zo handig is: in plaats van in een lang chatgesprek, wordt inhoud gegenereerd in een apart scherm. Zo voert Claude bijvoorbeeld analyses voor me uit en helpt het me soms bij de opzet van artikelen, als ik wat inspiratie nodig heb.

Inmiddels heeft ChatGPT iets vergelijkbaars (maar net even anders): Canvas. Heb jij beide al uitgeprobeerd en wat is je favoriet?

I've come to the conclusion that tooltips are presentational.

* They're not suitable for accessible description, control hints should be provided in static text.
* They're not appropriate for accessible label, this would fail one or more SCs if the control is not otherwise labelled.

The only useful purpose of tooltips is for sighted users, to provide explanatory text for graphical controls, so its text would always be the same as `aria-label`.

"Most importantly, tooltips should only provide descriptive and non-essential text, giving slightly more detailed text for active elements such as links and form controls. Ultimately, they provide expendable text which is already on the web page."

Great in-depth article about #tooltips by Jan Hellbusch. He knows what he's talking about, had the pleasure to be in one of his workshops and he's an absolute pro. 🤯

In my opinion, the best overall back-saving snow shovel is the "Union" push-plow model. I don't know if they make 'em like they used to, but I have one my dad owned; it outlasted him, and it will outlast me. I also use a small, heavy-duty gardening shovel to break ice and windrows. It's suitable for fueling coal-burning steam locomotives. #ToolTips #mnwx uniontools.com/products/detail
