There's a proposal for standardizing a CSS property to let you do this without cluttering your HTML markup.
I'd love to implement it this year so I can use it to implement <details>.
I don't know what the accessibility story will be in other browser engines, I don't think it's actually a thing yet.

A call to mentors willing to participate in GSoC, FOSDEM (lots of it), a curl-like command but for Matrix, more progress on ElementX, and of course faster room joins… that and much more happened this week in Matrix!
I don't play RPGs enough to get entirely personally wrapped up in this, but I know a whole lot of people who do, and it's been stunning to see just how quickly Wizards of the Coast blew off their own feet here. No one trusts them to do the right thing, nor should they. This is a classic "we're sorry we got caught" situation, and everyone one in that space knows it.

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the millions of victims of the Nazi regime during WWII.
The loss of life in the Holocaust is unfathomable and a haunting reminder of the devastation caused by antisemitism and intolerance.
In the face of rising antisemitism, revisionism and conspiracy theories, we must remain vigilant to counter disinformation and educate future generations about these atrocities.
#WeRemember and pledge to fight hatred and discrimination in all its forms in the EU.
