How do captchas work for blind people behind screen readers? I usually use a lot of keyboard strokes which seems to trigger a lot of captcha systems So far, the play audio option are kind of weird, specially if you're hard of hearing.

  This is a terrible notion. > Accessibility is for everyone, including you, if you live long enough and the alternative is worse. So your choice is death or you are going to use accessibility features. – John Siracusa Also, making services accessible is not only the obviously right thing to do, but also the law here in EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Accessibility_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Accessibility_Act

  Offering up some of our strength, ability, and comfort to help others who might be less fortunate or whose qualities lie elsewhere is what makes us human, and probably played a large part in getting us where were are today. You might be part of a very miniscule group yourself, if this is really what you believe. Our digital world will never be perfect, but allowing for everyone to at least be able to access and benefit from it is very much something we can and should do.

  This is a terrible take. The more technology is integrated into society, the more we need to offer different avenues to access it. Otherwise we'll be excluding the differently-abled from many parts of society, and at some point we really should be able to put that behind us...
