I try to balance the good in the world as a blind person, with the obvious bad. The continued huge wave of people that care about ALT text is just amazing! More and more, if a photo doesn’t have a description, someone in the replies will add it. And again, if this mindfulness of accessibility happens nearly automatically here, on Mastodon, then I think the future is bright for all digital #accessibility. A button label here, audio description there, and asking #disabled people for their input and advice everywhere! And I think it’ll always be the indie developers, website builders, and game creators that go first. Skullgirls? Yeah, I can play that. The whole audiogame scene is full of indie devs. And now, because of that and the general accessibility movement, we’ve got The Last of Us that we can play. Yes, for operating systems, it has been the other way around, but we just have to push harder. I think that, once Windows 10 goes End of Life, there will be a good many blind people that will be looking for another OS. π
