CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible
Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.Adrian Roselli

For my latest story, I got to correspond with a Ukranian developer with cerebral palsy who uses ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to communicate and code. It was wild, because I don't think our interaction would have been possible just a few years ago.
Beyond that, though, #GenerativeAI is removing barriers for him to code and contribute. He even released his first #OpenSource project recently sharing his experience!

Is anyone else using Dragon #SpeechRecognition? I would love to be buddies. This software takes a lot of wrangling!
I know about the KnowBrainer forum but I find their attitude kind of victim-blamey.

📝 New post! "The Web Needs a Native .visually-hidden"
The .visually-hidden/.sr-only copypasta is incredibly useful for #a11y… but I don't think it should be a copypasta any more. The web would benefit a lot from it being a web standard.
