Hm, in this latest newsletter, Jakob Nielsen suggests generative AI can “replace” accessibility. this idea is wrong on various levels https://jakobnielsenphd.substack.com/p/accessibility-generative-ui

(grumpy me notes this also contains an infographic without alt; something something about getting basics right before making grander statements)

This week European Sleeper starts their night train service between Brussels and Berlin. The cool thing is that it's just two founders who leased some trains and got a bit of capacity in the busy rail network (that + lots of sweat and tears I can imagine) https://www.europeansleeper.eu/

A long overdue task on my list, I've popped a “Links” section onto my site. I wanted a setup with the lowest possible treshold to publishing, so it's Markdown files with dates and names in the filenames.

Find/like/subscribe https://hidde.blog/links/, feedback welcome!

Accessibility auditors, do you indicate what the severity of each issue you report is? I do a rough high/medium/low categorisation, but I worry it could be used to drop items from the list, while they all affect at least some users.

If you use a screenreader and have used fields with a live character counter, what do you find works best in terms of screenreader announcements? Is a live region useful or too much?

Off to Vienna 🚂, once again in the sleeping train (it's now officially my favourite way of traveling). Excited to meet web friends and speak to people about dialogs, popovers, as well as semantics and positioning.
