#ScreenReader I found a bug related to #NVDA in Firefox, but turns out it appears in version 2020.4 and not anymore in version 2026.1. Now I was wondering, how quickly people update to new versions and how far back we should support compliance 🤔 Are there stats on which NVDA version is used most?

I Learned The First Rule of ARIA the Hard Way | CSS-Tricks
Semantic HTML does a lot more accessibility work than we usually give it credit for already — and ARIA is simple to abuse when we use it both as a shortcut and as a supplement.

With all the yearly statistics being released, such as Spotify and LinkedIn Wrapped, my favourite so far was Lidl Wrapped. Apparently I bought 112 blocks of tofu this year, followed by 38 baguettes and 32 broccoli 😄
One of my highlights of the year is always the #HTMHell Advent Calendar curated by @matuzo.at, containing an article daily on security, a11y, UX or performance, written by authors from around the world. Go check it out and catch up on previous days' articles: www.htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

Cloudflare is down again? I guess some can start into an early weekend then 😬
I got a new phone and am not yet used to this always on display. I have the constant feeling that I have a new message, which catches my attention, distracts me and is really stressing me out. Unsure if I'll get used to it at some point or if I should just turn this feature off 😅
In line with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UX Salon Barcelona focused on #accessibility. Agnese D’Alfonso shared practical ways & examples from her work, to embed #a11y into everyday decision-making and collaboration with stakeholders to create products that work for everyone.
I was part of the peer review selection process for this year's #ZeroProject shortlisted nominees, and there are some amazing projects out there 🌱✨ Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the full list of all 75 awardees was published: zerocon26.zeroproject.org/components/5...

Daniela Kubesch says that even though the web now has more AI-written articles than human ones, they often don't perform as well. Will AI content always come second place? 🤔
