“After 14 years, the chances are you are going to have a change of government, but you don’t give up on that basis. You fight against it, try to minimise losses and hope something turns up. Who knows what crises might occur during the next three or four months?”

“The reasons why use of the placeholder attribute as the only means of providing a user readable prompt for a form control is deficient UX, are voluminous. It is frustrating having to rehash this discussion endlessly.”

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke

"Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work."

Re: AI and the future of Web accessibility Guidelines
'Absolute statements such as “it will never work”, and “AI will be better than people at X” are not helpful to the conversation because it is very unlikely to be an absolute result in the end. Different contexts, different machine-learning approaches, and different data-sets will produce different results.'

"when does it end?" asks @patrick_h_lauke

AI and the future of Web accessibility Guidelines

"Once you bring in the "AI will do it" line of thinking, we may as well
just remove any author requirement, and WCAG becomes just a list of
requirements for AI user agents to massage any old web content into
something accessible."
