I'm glad they capture disability types. It's a great reminder that screen reader use is not exclusively for fully blind individuals, and also not exclusively for vision-related disabilities. I wish more people knew this. webaim.org/projects/scr...

I made some minor design & content structure tweaks to the Practical Accessibility website (ahead of its 3rd anniversary). practical-accessibility.today One of the changes I made was creating a dedicated page for the many reviews & testimonials that the course has received over the past 3+ years.

‘The Anthropic scientists [..] said that their A.I. had taken “the first steps of a biological discovery on its own.” [Dr. Mestre] disputed that claim. “They are the same systems we have been studying for years” And they are the same enzymes, he said, that he had described to Anthropic’s A.I.”’

"...that AI systems are becoming so powerful that nobody – including the companies that developed them – can stop them, is a stratagem to avoid responsibility for whatever harm their products may cause, depriving meat-and-bones humans of any recourse to law."

Such a beautiful read about the importance of the struggle (in context of writing) & the joy it brings. "there’s no better feedback than being told that you are you. And that your voice will outlive you. [..] So while the temptation to use [LLMs] is understandable, the price is too high."

Beyond the issues Bramus addresses in his post, ask anyone who isn't a CSS nerd what [class|="foo="] matches. Most will have no idea, or someone who knows regex will get it wrong. I think there's a lot of value just in it being simpler, beyond the other advantages over |= this will come with.
