- userbinator 6y agoAccessibilty and disability are related but not the same. Making a website more accessible is beneficial to everyone, not only those with disabilities.
- p1necone 6y agoYou're arguing semantics. The web development community (and the engineering industry as a whole) uses the term "accessibility" to refer to making things usable by people with disabilities (and has done so for decades). Pretending that people understand the term to mean a different thing, and then screeching at them for not doing that how you want them to is intellectually dishonest and just makes you look like an asshole.
- userbinator 6y agoI'm talking about the original definition of accessibility, not the one the "community" decided to pervert for its own interests: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accessibility https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accessibility The quality of being accessible, or of admitting approach; receptiveness As another link posted elsewhere in here shows, it seems accessibility has turned from striving to make sites more accessible to everyone, to doing the bare minimum legally required by disability laws.
- user-the-name 6y agoThere are more people with disabilities than there are people who intentionally turn off Javascript. And those with disabilities don't have them by choice. To be honest, stop whining and deal with the consequences of your own personal choices.
- userbinator 6y agoNo, how about you and the rest of them stop trying to turn the Internet into Google's personal playground.
- user-the-name 6y agoThat is quite a leap of logic there.
- userbinator 6y agoIf you read the rest of my comments, perhaps you would understand. Google is a plague upon the Internet.
