Do you understand how unbelievably frustrating that is?
- lewisjoe 6y agoThanks for pointing this out. Never knew this would break screen readers. Sorry. I'm changing the font right now.
- samstave 6y ago>Now imagine yourself in the shoes of a vision-impaired person relying on a technology like VoiceOver —- Yeah - thats “frustrating” for like what, ‘dozens’? As opposed to just the other problems in the world that dwarf this? Now imagine you are a % of the population of the globe who actually requires this to be a thought. Yeah - personally, i see this as a statistical straw-man. Sure, why dont you imagine yourself as a gay queer trans java programmer from ohio that moved to silicon valley for more acceptance and is going to try to make it in FAANG based on the fact that youre gay queer trans as opposed to say, your ability and then blame people on the hostility of the environment to you because you choose to only wear naturally harvested wool and eat kale. Yeah, nobody gives a shit. Either be a good person and do good work, or GTFO - nobody really cares about anything else.
- RussianCow 6y agoWhat is your point? zacwest isn't asking them to completely rewrite the page—the problem they pointed out is trivial to solve and simply needed to be recognized. If you can spend 20 minutes to drastically improve the usability of your product for "dozens" of users, why wouldn't you?
- samstave 6y agoI am not saying it is bad. I was just commenting that the scale is offset. Get it?
