That sucks.

Yeah it was OK.

He probably will implode, because everyone with that kind of fanatical politics does, no matter which side of anything they're on. Someone who is not you really needs to take him aside and tell him to touch some grass and that, just like everything can't be viewed through the lens of American race relations, also everything can't be viewed through the lens that is the uncomplicated version of Israel-Palestine.

So I haven't looked this up yet do we know what they do?

Yeah but at least you were doing it for another screen reader. I was doing it to try to get his phone to stop ringing.

@yatil I have to admit I always expected AccessiBe to be the villains of the accessibility overlay space and did not have this extended "hold my beer" episode from AudioEye on my bingo card for any year. And yes, we all lost.

Now I have to look this up because I'm curious I will do my best not to fall down any rabbitholes.

Yay Adrian!

Yay Adrian!

Because calling a spade a spade in this case would mean that they would have to admit that people who are oppressed can oppress.

@objectinspace @annaecook Sad, and also true.

@annaecook I'd say Level Access just stabbed the accessibility community in the back with this.

@objectinspace Yeah I guess that was kind of a jerk move on my part. lol. What's Ice Shrimp? Is that taking the place of Hometown? Which apparently is not properly updating to keep up with current Mastodon?

@objectinspace I like the 1008 characters I have on this instance.

Welcome!

The point of yelling at them for it is that this is likely virtue signaling on their part unless there is some sort of action to back it up, and honestly if you're actually concerned about accessibility you're going to start doing the work instead of putting out a poll for everyone to use to make themselves feel better. And people are just tired of the virtue signaling and giving the benefit of the doubt to corporations only to have that doubt reaffirmed again and again.

I would hope so, but I've been around this block too many times for that hope to mean anything. Poll gets run, everybody goes "Yay", nothing actually happens.
