Robert Kingett on Nostr: I know blind people that don't describe their images on Facebook. I know blind ...

I know blind people that don't describe their images on Facebook. I know blind people, actually, the majority of blind people, that *love* cloud based LLMs and can't stand any critique of the shitty people behind the tool, let alone the companies. I know blind people that argue against having audio description and against accessibility because we should be fully independent. Sighted people must understand that in the blind community especially, there's a *LOT* of blind people and even otherwise disabled people that *hate* all this “PC nonsense” PC is political correctness, but they're arguing against their own interests. It happens in my own gay community too, so instead of listening to blind people that hate other blind people, why not listen to a collective of blind people/other disabled people working to better local or digital environments. I honestly didn't like the article when it came out, and I certainly don't like this quote being used to argue *against* access/accessibility. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29496#issuecomment-4429977820 #Accessibility #AltText #A11y #Disability #Blind #Mastodon #Fediverse
